The Braxton County Monster: The Cover-Up of the Flatwoods Monster Revealed
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, WV. A group of schoolboys saw the object fall to earth. The boys and two adults headed off to look for the object and were confronted by a twelve-foot being that would become known as The Flatwoods Monster or The Braxton County Monster. 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 that fifty years. But now, author Frank Feschino reveals the shocking truth about these events.

The Braxton County Monster is one of the lesser known cryptids, but i think one of the most mysterious. I'm Team Brax, not Team Mothman.
Feschino's book provides detailed information on this baffling occurrence. Using primary resources and witness interviews, he outlines an astounding story of what caused the Creature to crash land in rural West Virginia, and.....what happened to the REST of the squadron!
My only complaint is that the author does a poor job of organizing the material into an understandable timeline. Each time he starts to outline the exact narrative of that evening, he detours into yet another list times, objects, and places. I felt like a two-page flow chart would have improved the book.

The illustrations alone are worth cracking this book open. Some of the reporting is spooky as well.
