BRAXTON COUNTY
MONSTER
60TH ANNIVERARY
September 12, 1952 - September 12, 2012
Around dusk on September
12, 1952 , the small country town of Flatwoods West Virginia
During their intrepid quest to find the downed object, the
group was abruptly terrified when they very unexpectedly encountered what might
be the 12-foot-tall occupant of said damaged craft, after it had perhaps sought
refuge along the bordering woods of the bare hilltop landing zone, but coming out at them from behind a huge
white oak, lit up like a Christmas tree!

This "strange occupant," later called the
"Braxton County Monster" or "Flatwoods Monster," was very
likely a huge and hovering metallic-like structure acting as what might be
called a vehicular probe or conveyance. The witnesses, often and from the beginning, compared it to a mechanical spacesuit...
with something seemingly sentient inside; a "being," even... a "being"
clad in a protective suit of armor.
Within days, the story of the "Braxton County
Monster" became as far-reaching as named newspapers and radio stations
around the United States—mainstream media vociferously telling the story of
this "gigantic unknown alien visitor"—will make it far-reaching! Not restricted to the United
States
One week later the two main adult witnesses—plus the Braxton
County newspaper reporter involved—appeared on the very popular national TV Magazine
show called, "We the People."
Here, the television sketch artist hurriedly talked to the witnesses and
so very incorrectly illustrated this
giant mechanical occupant—rendering it instead to appear as a pumpkin headed, cloth
hooded, and claw-waving "monster"— a monster wearing a sweet-sixteen
skirt and hovering a foot or so off the ground!
To add insult to injury, the Intelligence officials at
Project Blue Book stated the witnesses "probably saw an owl perched on a
tree limb" and that the "underbrush below" may have "given
the impression of a giant figure." "In their excitement, they
imagined the rest," it was said! Moreover, the alien occupant's damaged
craft, which had flown additionally West over Washington ,
DC Washington
Yes, a cover-up was quickly put in place as Americans
panicked over the already record amount of UFO sightings occurring over the United
States
Over the years, the story became fatuously and grossly distorted! Rumors ran riotous, rampant, and roughshod
over the townspeople! Said townspeople consequently became tired of the insulting
inconsistencies written about the incident. The eyewitnesses, themselves, were
subsequently singled out for special attention—were ridiculed tirelessly and mercilessly—while
the "Flatwoods Monster" was written-off and relegated, over the
years, to a quaint West Virginia

Feschino Jr. discovered the "Braxton County Monster" story and began
looking into it. That is when Aviation history was changed. Tirelessly, he has
now spent more than twenty-years investigating the Flatwoods incident! This is the longest investigation ever conducted
into the case in record, thus Feschino is THE subject matter expert on this
astonishing event!
At last, sixty-years after the incident, Frank Feschino, Jr.
has released his new book, "The Braxton County Monster—REVISED EDITION—the
Cover-up of the 'Flatwoods Monster' Revealed." Now, the entire and non-redacted truth of this

Most humbly, this being the 60th anniversary of this
terrifying incident: Frank Feschino Jr., Stanton Friedman, and Alfred Lehmberg—among
other significant colleagues—would like to take a moment to remember the Braxton
County
In remembrance of:
- Colonel Dale Leavitt, WV National Guard commander in 1952, who went to the Flatwoods landing site with a heavy Battalion of Army troops shortly after the incident.
- Mrs. Kathleen May, primary eyewitness to the "Flatwoods Monster," who came within a few feet of the figure during her close encounter.
- Lee Stewart, Jr, photojournalist who first interviewed the witnesses and then broke the "Flatwoods Monster" story to the news press.
- Margaret Clise, former Flatwoods Mayor, who saw the damaged craft fly over Flatwoods at low-level, just before it landed on the farm!
- Jack Davs, local businessman, who saw the damaged craft pass over Flatwoods and then land on the Fisher Farm a few moments later.
- Harvey Wolf, former aerospace physicist, who worked with Lockheed and assisted Frank with his research.
- A
special rememberance to USAF F-94 fighter pilot 2nd Lt. John A. Jones, Jr.
and radar observer, John DelCurto. These men both perished in their jet on
In honor of the 60th Anniversary of the Flatwoods Green
Monster, a special thank you goes out to stalwarts John Clise, doting son of
Margaret above and the editor of the "Central West Virginian"
newspaper, the witness Fred May, the whole of the May family, and all the other
families, witnesses and assistants who worked with Frank to tell the real story
of the "Braxton County Monster" in his new "REVISED EDITION."
Near last but not least, Frank and his colleagues wish to
thank Mr. Larry Bailey of Brothers Bailey Promotions for his professional support with
this project and a special thank you to the Law Firm of Bowles, Rice, McDavid,
Graft & Love, LLP, for making the book a reality.
Finally, Frank C. Feschino, Jr's, 20-year UFO research
project is ultimately dedicated to the brave American fighter pilots and other flyers
who scrambled their aircraft into the dark skies of the wholly unknown after
UFOs to "shoot them down," but never returned home...
