On September 12th, 1952, a strange red light streaked across the sky over a quiet town in West Virginia.

Seven people followed it. What they encountered on a dark hillside would leave them violently ill, traumatized for life, and at the center of one of the most disturbing close-encounter cases in American history.

They described a towering figure with a glowing red face, self-illuminating eyes, a metallic body, and a presence that didn’t move like anything living. The air burned their throats. The smell lingered for hours. One of them, the dog, didn’t survive.

The U.S. Air Force investigated and closed the case as a meteor, a barn owl, and mass hysteria.

But the details don’t line up.

The size.

The movement.

The chemical-like symptoms.

And the pulsing red object that drew them up the hill in the first place.

This is the story of the Flatwoods Monster: one of the most documented, dismissed, and unresolved encounters ever recorded.

And seventy years later, no explanation accounts for everything that happened that night.
