OTHER MONSTERQUEST DEGLECTED POINTS
The Sept. 12, 1952 "Master Map" of UFO locations was not
shown. The flight-path trajectory of the "Flatwoods Monster"
UFO was not shown or mentioned. This was the Washington DC. to Flatwoods,
WV UFO flight-path. Check the included link for same.
The Colonel Leavitt Interview was not shown or mentioned, nor was
there any mention of the sizable West Virginia National Guard involvement
in and around Flatwoods.
There was no reference that the USAF had heavily documented the Flatwoods
incident.
The First person witness-journalist John Barker interview was not
mentioned.
Well respected reporter and first person responder A. Lee Stewart,
Jr., who broke the national story, was not mentioned. The drawings
of the metal piece that he found on the farm were not shown.
There was no mention or reference that there were strange metal and
black plastic-like pieces found on the Fisher Farm by the locals,
shortly after the incident.
The five known drawings made by five of the boy witnesses who saw
the "Flatwoods Monster" were not shown." Despite being
separated by Stewart the drawings are astonishingly similar!
The "Flatwoods Monster" color illustrations painted by Feschino
from eyewitness descriptions were not shown.
The 1996 Fred May pencil drawing of the "Monster" was not
shown. It depicted the figure as "mechanical." This was
a point errantly avoided by MonsterQuest!
The Flatwoods reenactment segment did not show the actual "mechanical"
figure as described by Mrs. May and Fred May. The incorrect 1952 "We
The People" mock-up, which depicted the arms and claws was shown
instead... and then senselessly compared to the "Frametown Monster."
Finally, the Star child skull and the entities in Flatwoods/Frametown
were errantly compared. These cases have no relationship to each other,
what so ever, all respect to Lloyd Pye! I'm sure he would agree.
I'd hoped for the best regarding the History Channel. What happened?
"Hollywood" happened, reader... corporate manipulations
apart from, and not interested in, telling the real story... These
contrive a mash-up between two unrelated cases and, "highlighting"
what was "explainable," work to "faux-discredit"
both... actually. We were sand-bagged, imo.
The only good thing... the Flatwoods story was broached, at all, in
a no-nonsense manner by Frank Feschino, Freddy May, John Barker, and
Stanton Friedman! People are eventually going to wonder where the
"lizard monster" (sheesh!) came from and how it came to
be in Flatwoods at all. That story? Again, right here: http://paratopiary.blogspot.com/
I personally apologize to the people of Braxton County, Frametown,
and the town of Flatwoods specifically, that the story was not portrayed
as it was related to the production company. We regret their time
was wasted. It's not Frank Feschino's fault that the creative control
was well out of his capable hands... as it will be on _all_ these
programs. You pays yer money and takes yer chances. We all got burned.
All the credible stuff went to the cutting room floor.
Rest assured, though, MonsterQuest at least showed enough to get interest
kindled in _other_ quarters. There's a lot of life left to tell the
story, still! You can bet Frank Feschino will be banging the Flatwoods
drum, verily!
I remain firmly in his corner! There are many rounds left in this
fight. Frank is strong and as focused as he ever was!
Closing, Flatwoods and Frametown residents write to tell me that the
James Knob site east of Frametown is still ufologically active. Right
_now_ reader.
Well, I suspect that if ET had swooped in and landed on the pasture
that night while Friedman, Feschino, and myself were all up there
on James Knob - and the Monster Quest people had shot miles of film
of it? THAT footage would have languished on the cutting room floor
with all the other pertinent material, too.
Tha MonsterQuest program regarding Flatwoods was a dissembling hypocrisy...
and a shame!
One last point, in the dodgy MonsterQuest "cooked" portrayal,
Fred May, Stanton Friedman, and Frank Feschino seem to indicate that
Big Lizards in "hover-rounds," plus other monsters, still
lurk dangerously in the West Virginia mountains around Flatwoods.
No reader. They are not. Nothing these men actually reported to the
film crew made that indication.
Sincerely, be disabused of the notion that dangerous monsters haunt
your hills and forests! Fred, Frank, and Stan made _no_ such intimation.
I was _there_. I _know_.
