AudioBlog: A UFO and Occupant in Wheeling, West Virginia?

On September 12, 1952, a woman and six boys in the town of
Flatwoods in Braxton County, West Virginia, reported that they’d
had an encounter with a landed UFO and a strange creature. The
woman, Mrs. Kathleen May, described the creature to a reporter as
“a fire-breathing monster, ten-feet tall with a bright green body
and a blood-red face.” She said the creature emitted an odor “like
metal” that caused everyone to vomit for hours after the encounter.
She added, “It looked worse than Frankenstein.” The witnesses all
agreed that the figure had a red face with two openings like eyes
that projected beams of greenish-orange light over their heads and
that around the face there was a dark hood-like shape that came to

“The Flatwoods Monster.” By September 15, the case was reported in
