What Happened – September 12

It was on this day in 1952 that three young boys  in Flatwoods WV saw a bright light flash across the night sky and crash into a nearby hill. They then ran to two of the boys’ home, and got a mom, two more kids, and a young man that was a member of the National Guard. When the group approached the area of the crash their dog ran ahead, and then quickly came back with his tail between his legs. A mist then blew towards them, which made their noses and eyes burn. At that point they then saw what would become known as the “Flatwoods monster.” The creature hissed at them, then flew towards two red lights behind it. The group responded by running away in a panic. They brought the Sheriff back later than night, who later reported that there was a “sickening, burnt, metallic odor” in the air. As news spread of the encounter other people came forward to report similar sightings, including one woman who was so frightened that she had to be hospitalized for three weeks.  Some of the explanations given for what had been seen include a meteor, a barn owl, and an experimental gov’t airplane.

The earliest event that Wiki says happened in this day is “490 BC – Battle of Marathon: The conventionally accepted date for the Battle of Marathon.
