The saga of the famous Flatwoods Monster is one of those rollocking tales of a type that dominated so much of the Golden Age of Ufology; but that, today, we seldom seem to hear of.

However, we may be hearing much more of the case in the near future, as the following story reveals:

Flatwoods ‘Monster’ Might Be Turned Into A Movie
By Mannix Porterfield
Register-Herald reporter

Move over, Mothman?

If the money comes in to finance a movie, you might not be the only weird West Virginia creature memorialized on film.

An independent filmmaker in Los Angeles says he would gladly handle a movie about the Flatwoods Monster — provided someone can put up sufficient financial backing for the project.

It was back on Sept. 12, 1952, that the 12-foot metallic oddity, emitting a sulfuric odor, horrified a gaggle of children and adults on a summer evening, after a fiery streak was spotted in the sky along a steep hillside in Braxton County.

A legend was born, unleashing torrents of speculation and inspiring a book by Frank Feschino, a star player in a Sept. 7-8 gathering in Charleston devoted to unidentified flying objects.

Using their own funds, Thomas Dickens and his partner, David Burke are completing a feature-length film titled “Alien Gray Zone-X,” due to be released no later than next summer.

“This could be a great motion picture that could be done that could basically compete with Hollywood films,” Dickens says of a possible Flatwoods movie.

   It was a very short encounter.. How are they going to pad it out to movie length?

   I think the Kelly/Hopkinsville incident would make a better movie, at least that had tension and lasted quite awhile.
