The Flatwoods Monster, also known as the Braxton County Monster, is a cryptid linked to an alleged alien encounter in Flatwoods, West Virginia, on September 12, 1952. Witnesses, including a group of local boys and a mother, reported seeing a towering, humanoid figure with glowing eyes, claw-like hands, and a metallic, skirt-like lower half. The creature was described as emitting a noxious mist that made some witnesses ill. The sighting occurred after a bright object was seen streaking across the sky, leading some to speculate it was an extraterrestrial being. While skeptics suggest the creature was a misidentified barn owl, the Flatwoods Monster remains a staple of American UFO folklore.
