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, West Virginia. A group of schoolboys saw the object maneuver across the sky and seemingly fall to Earth. Was it a meteor, a plane, or anything they could explain? The boys and two adults headed off to look for the object. Soon a twelve-foot tall being from the downed craft terrified these innocent people. This being became known as "The Flatwoods Monster," or "The Braxton County Monster."

Only hours before in Panama City, FL, several Air Force fighter jets took off on a routine training mission. One of the F94 Starfire fighters vanished while being tracked on Air Force radar. Search parties combed thousands of square miles over the Gulf, but no trace of the men or their jet was ever found. The airmen were proclaimed dead, and the military buried virtually all records of both the men and the incident.
