On September 12th, 1952, in Flatwoods, West Virginia, five boys witnessed a fiery object slowly descend from the sky and land nearby, seemingly under intelligent control. What followed became one of the strangest UFO encounters in American history. Joined by a 32-year-old mother and a National Guard member, the group were allegedly pursued by a towering, mist-shrouded, humanoid figure that emitted strange lights and sounds. And with seven direct witnesses and reports from several states, this was no isolated event. With some eyewitness still speaking up as recently as 2018. Misunderstood and mythologized for decades, the Flatwoods Monster deserves a closer, more accurate look — and that's exactly what we're here to do. Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.

The Flatwoods monster joins many other cryptids at the time, all suddenly appearing for seemingly no reason. Was it just a nation gripped by fear over the unknown or was something else happening? Lets discuss that in todays episode!

The early days of modern ufology seem to be a procession of characters, wild tales and messages from the stars most forgotten than the notable exceptions. Yet one man found his calling after reading the headlines about the Flatwoods Monster in his home town. Gray Barker found himself front and centre in the late 50s and 60s as his involvement in the UFO field spanned publishing, investigating, hoaxing and writing and his legacy is still seen to this day. In his new book, author Gabriel Mckee takes us through some of the wild situations Barker would seem to find himself in, the legacy he left and what how he still influences the field even to this day.

On September 12, 1952, a group of children in Braxton County, West Virginia, witnessed something that would shatter the quiet of their mountain town—a 10-foot-tall creature with glowing red eyes and a helmet-shaped head. What followed wasn't folklore. It was one of the most thoroughly documented and chilling cryptid encounters in American history.In this episode, we unravel the full story of the Flatwoods Monster: a case supported not only by eyewitnesses, but by physical evidence, medical records, and official investigations. From the initial sighting of a fiery object streaking across the sky to two close encounters that left witnesses physically ill and investigators baffled, this wasn't a hoax—it was a mystery that refused to fade. You'll hear how a terrified group, led by a National Guardsman, came face-to-face with something that emitted toxic mist and moved in unnatural ways. We examine the physical traces left behind—radiation hotspots, metallic fragments, scorched vegetation—and the disturbing medical symptoms that followed. Despite explanations ranging from mass hysteria to barn owls, none have accounted for all the evidence.The Flatwoods case drew national media, Project Blue Book, and decades of scientific analysis. Modern experts have verified the trauma of the witnesses and found clues suggesting advanced technology far beyond what was available in the 1950s. To this day, the encounter remains unsolved—but not forgotten. Flatwoods now honors the event with a museum and festival, keeping alive the story of the night something not of this world may have crashed in the hills of West Virginia.

On this episode of Mothboys, Jake takes the boys to film school while discussing the real life 1966 multi-state UFO chase that inspired the hit film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. We also discuss junk food, how sports movies are cooler than cryptids, and we officially crown Sean Astin as Americas dad.Mothboys is sponsored by:Visit Braxton, WV-Braxton County, West Virginia is Home of the Flatwoods Monster, as well as sightings of Bigfoot, UFO's  and ghosts… Visit the link above for more information on all the wonderful things that Braxton County offers.Follow along on our moth-journey on Instagram at @mothboyspodcast and on Facebook at Mothboys.

Three kids playing football in their rural West Virginia town in 1952 saw a bright light flash across the sky and, they thought, crash into a neighbor's farm. Quickly a little group gathered to bravely trek into the woods. Something with bright red eyes, a strage spade-shaped head and a metal apron floated down the hill toward them and into UFO history. What was the Flatwoods Monster?

The Flatwoods Monster, also known as the Braxton County Monster, is a cryptid linked to an alleged alien encounter in Flatwoods, West Virginia, on September 12, 1952. Witnesses, including a group of local boys and a mother, reported seeing a towering, humanoid figure with glowing eyes, claw-like hands, and a metallic, skirt-like lower half. The creature was described as emitting a noxious mist that made some witnesses ill. The sighting occurred after a bright object was seen streaking across the sky, leading some to speculate it was an extraterrestrial being. While skeptics suggest the creature was a misidentified barn owl, the Flatwoods Monster remains a staple of American UFO folklore.-----------------Head to the Strange Places home website, asylum817.com to keep up with all things Strange Places, as well as the host.
