The Cover-Up of the Flatwoods Monster Revealed
with a foreword by Stanton T. Friedman.

On the night of September 12, 1952, a shocked American public sought answers when strange unidentified objects were seen flying through the sky over Washington, DC and the eastern United States. Up and down the East Coast, police stations, newspapers, airports, military bases and the Pentagon were besieged with calls from frantic citizens.

One of the strange objects crash-landed on a rural hilltop in Flatwoods, West Virginia. A group of schoolboys saw the object maneuver across the sky and seemingly fall to Earth. Was it a meteor, plane, or anything they could explain? The boys and two adults headed off to look for the object. Soon a twelve-foot tall being from the downed craft terrified these innocent people. This being became known as "The Flatwoods Monster," or "The Braxton County Monster."

Only hours before in Panama City, FL, several Air Force fighter jets took off on a routine training mission. One of the F94 Starfire fighters vanished while being tracked on Air Force radar. Search parties combed thousands of square miles over the Gulf, but no trace of the men or their jet was ever found. The airmen were proclaimed dead, and the military buried virtually all records of both the men and the incident. On September 13, Flatwoods residents were overwhelmed trying to comprehend the strange events of the night before. Little did they know that elsewhere in Braxton County, a young family was being terrorized. Stranded on a dark road, a couple and their baby came face to face with a huge alien.

The Flatwoods Monster incident and these other events all occurred in just over a 24 hour period. They have never been fully explained, and worse, they have been covered up. These UFO encounters have been hidden, ignored, and discounted for more than fifty years. But now, author Frank Feschino reveals the shocking truth about these events. Feschino first heard about the Flatwoods Monster while visiting a cousin in Braxton County, West Virginia. He was hooked. He dug a little deeper. Feschino became known and trusted in Braxton County. The eyewitnesses to the event wanted the truth to be told. They wanted to talk about the story for the first time in fifty years. And they told their story to Frank.

While Feschino researched The Braxton County Monster, he uncovered information no one could have imagined. He traveled all over the country, interviewing witnesses and poring over countless government documents, books and old newspaper articles. The reward for all his work? Discovering the truth about what many consider one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the twentieth century.
