If you like monster movies, UFO stories and West Virginia history all in one, then this movie is for you!
“‘The Flatwoods Monster: A Legacy of Fear’ is a new documentary from director, Seth Breedlove, which will unlock a decades-old mystery that included a government-ordered military examination of a purported alien crash-site, and multiple UFOs seen by countless residents of Braxton County, West Virginia,” reports the Clay County Free Press.
“The ‘Flatwoods Monster incident’ has become one of the most famous legends in modern memory,” the Free Press reports. It says with the Pentagon opening up about UFO investigations dating back to the 1940s, the incident can be seen in a new light.
It’s reported that hundreds of people across the United witnessed glowing objects streak across the skies over much of the Eastern Seaboard in September 1952. One such object was seen landing on a hill near Flatwoods, West Virginia by a group of kids. The children and two adults journeyed to the top of the hill to search for the object but instead found themselves face to face with a “13-foot tall mechanical monster.” Later that evening, a local National Guard unit would be dispatched by the Air Force to investigate the site of the encounter, the Free Press writes.
“In the years since their brush with the ‘Flatwoods Monster,’ witnesses have seen their story evolve from a terrifying, true-life event to little more than a fable. Two of the remaining witnesses will set the record straight when the film is released on April 6.”
The official premiere will be at Elk Theater in Sutton on April 7. Members of the Small Town Monsters film crew will take part in a question and answer session following the showing.
The movie will be released on DVD and Amazon in April. Watch a trailer of the movie on YouTube by searching “Flatwoods Monster: a Legacy of Fear.”
