Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Currently we are back talking with Frank Fachino Junior. You've
Speaker 2: got a little c in there too. I don't want
Speaker 2: to see Frank Courtney Ficino Junior. Is it Courtney by chance?
Speaker 2: Did I get in?
Speaker 1: What? Oh?
Speaker 2: Char oh? Okay, Chucky? All right, let's let's do this. Okay,
Speaker 2: so I was way off on that one. It's giving
Speaker 2: it a shot. We're talking about the flat Woods Monster
Speaker 2: also in within there as well, we are talking about well,
Speaker 2: he's kind of you're like weaving everything in. However, let's
Speaker 2: let's let's get back to the action of the Flatwoods
Speaker 2: Monster and what they're seeing again. Go to the website
Speaker 2: and see the pictures that he has sent us that
Speaker 2: go right along with it. I mean, as you're telling
Speaker 2: the story, I'm looking at it going I'm watching this happen.
Speaker 2: But you can also go to his website, Flatwoodsmonster dot
Speaker 2: com and you can learn all about his books, his information,
Speaker 2: and get all the other pictures and what's going to
Speaker 2: be coming up next for him. But okay, so we
Speaker 2: were shining the light up on it. There's no way
Speaker 2: it is a raccoon. There's these eyes looking down. It's
Speaker 2: it's huge, and the one dude had wobbly legs and
Speaker 2: fell down right.
Speaker 3: Okay, when they sighted this thing, Connie, when they first
Speaker 3: thought it was the eyes of a raccoon or apossum
Speaker 3: or some animal. They thought it was on this branch.
Speaker 3: And this branch actually came out across the path, and
Speaker 3: then it came down to the right of the path.
Speaker 3: And when I was up there with Colonel Levitt, he
Speaker 3: told me that you could just about reach up as
Speaker 3: it tapered off to the right hand side, and you
Speaker 3: could just about reach up and touch the leaves on it.
Speaker 3: So that's how they e gauged the height of this thing.
Speaker 3: It was actually sitting there, Connie, and it lifted up,
Speaker 3: came down to the right, and it moved in front
Speaker 3: of the witnesses. Now, the beams of light weren't that strong,
Speaker 3: but Missus May and the witnesses had told me they
Speaker 3: shot out from behind these portholes. Now, the outer helmet
Speaker 3: that was black, that was shaped like the ace of spades.
Speaker 3: Freddie and Missus May said it had like a glass
Speaker 3: barrier in front of it. It wasn't open. It had
Speaker 3: a glass barrier and Freddie, who saw it from a
Speaker 3: distance from the wooden gate. It was really cool, Connie,
Speaker 3: because when I was doing my illustrations and working with
Speaker 3: the witnesses, missus May saw this thing right up close,
Speaker 3: like about twelve feet away. Freddie saw the whole thing
Speaker 3: unfolded in front of him, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So we have the view. That's how I was able
Speaker 3: to do that illustration, which was really great. So this
Speaker 3: thing is moving in front of Kathleen. While this is
Speaker 3: going on, this thing was squirting out like a grayish
Speaker 3: black oil all over the place. It was some type
Speaker 3: of a leak. And because Missus May was the closest,
Speaker 3: she said, this oil splattered. Remember I told you was
Speaker 3: making the noises and hissing. The witness has said this
Speaker 3: thing seemed to be really hot, like it was burning up,
Speaker 3: and this oil was spewing out all over the place.
Speaker 3: It hit the front of Missus May's clothing. Now, she
Speaker 3: was a hairdresser back in the day, and back then, Connie,
Speaker 3: she had her little suit with the matching hat, she
Speaker 3: told me, and that's how they were dressed in the fifties.
Speaker 3: When she was cutting hair, she had a uniform, and
Speaker 3: she said her hat got splattered with oil and it
Speaker 3: hit her in a chest and there was all oil
Speaker 3: down through the front of her. Some of the kids
Speaker 3: had this oil splattered on their faces, it got in
Speaker 3: their hair. They were a mess. They really didn't even
Speaker 3: have time to scream when Jeanne fell over. Missus May
Speaker 3: said he wasn't too long in getting up. But when
Speaker 3: they got up, they got a good look at this thing.
Speaker 3: Another witness said that what the Flatwood's machine was actually
Speaker 3: doing is the head was wavering from left to right.
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean? And one of the
Speaker 3: researchers said, it's back in the day, Ivan Sanderson, and
Speaker 3: when he interviewed the witnesses about a week later, he
Speaker 3: said that it sounded like it was looking out in
Speaker 3: the field for something. Now, what had happened, Connie, is
Speaker 3: when the boys saw the craft land up in the back,
Speaker 3: it actually hovered over the trees and dropped down onto
Speaker 3: that bald spot between the point where the kids ran
Speaker 3: the Missus May's house and got up to the farm
Speaker 3: and encountered the monster. The craft had actually relocated because
Speaker 3: it was glowing. Witness Jet David so I said it
Speaker 3: was obvious thing was sitting up on top of a
Speaker 3: mountaintop on that flat plateau, and you could see the
Speaker 3: lights glowing through the whole forest area with it. Dick
Speaker 3: County is hovering and relocated and sat back of the
Speaker 3: farm where the pear trees were. It didn't want to
Speaker 3: be obvious, so just logic, let's move back into an
Speaker 3: area where we're not going to be readily seen. When
Speaker 3: the craft touched down in there, the Flatwoods Monster actually
Speaker 3: left the craft and all of these years of what
Speaker 3: were called skid marks which were left in the grass,
Speaker 3: you have the picture that gully Field County. The grass
Speaker 3: was about three to four feet high in parts. Stuart
Speaker 3: told me that it was about waste high in some points. Well,
Speaker 3: what happened is the propulsion system from this flat Woods
Speaker 3: Monster had actually cut a path. After the craft touched down,
Speaker 3: it left the Presston area, which was evidence. And as
Speaker 3: it left and it went across the field up the
Speaker 3: gully up to the path and went and hid behind
Speaker 3: a tree that left the path and Stewart, who was
Speaker 3: up there to follow the morning investigating, he said it
Speaker 3: was very powerful. There were rocks flipped over upside down,
Speaker 3: so you have to picture. It was like a big
Speaker 3: gigantic leave blower holding it straight down to the ground
Speaker 3: that was four feet wide, and it cut the path
Speaker 3: through the grass. And then when the encounter happened, this
Speaker 3: thing went back across the path, hovered into the field
Speaker 3: and it made a parallel path following it back to
Speaker 3: the craft. Like walking to and from your car and
Speaker 3: this snowt you're going to leave a path back and forth.
Speaker 3: That's what this thing did. But back to the story.
Speaker 3: When this thing came in front of Missus May and
Speaker 3: it splattered the oil on her and the kids, they
Speaker 3: said they all got a good look at it. They
Speaker 3: got a real good look at it. Scared them half
Speaker 3: to death. They turned around and they all had headed
Speaker 3: back down the field. They ran down the wagon path
Speaker 3: and Missus May told me. She says she was so scared.
Speaker 3: She says, I hurdled that four fench in one leap.
Speaker 3: But she was in the Olympics, thirty two year old
Speaker 3: lady run and she says I ran out in all
Speaker 3: the kids. She says, I was the first one back
Speaker 3: over there, and she says I jumped at like a hurdler.
Speaker 3: That's how scared they were. The rest of the kids
Speaker 3: got up to it. They jumped over. Freddy and the
Speaker 3: other couple kids and their dogs. They had the head
Speaker 3: start because they never passed over that second gate, and
Speaker 3: they all ran back towards the house. Freddie and Kathleen
Speaker 3: told me later they were so scared. They scaled and
Speaker 3: went over that big metal gate. They didn't open it.
Speaker 3: They all climbed up and they went over it. A
Speaker 3: couple of the smaller kids climbed through it. So these
Speaker 3: kids were pretty terrified. And once they got over that,
Speaker 3: they ran back across the field the first field. They
Speaker 3: went back down the incline of the driveway on Depot
Speaker 3: Street and they all ran into the house. And that's
Speaker 3: when the pandemonium really started affecting them. Missus May called
Speaker 3: the local sheriff's department, and the sheriff wasn't in it at
Speaker 3: the time. He was actually out looking for a crassed
Speaker 3: airplane and it wasn't an airplane whatsoever. It was another
Speaker 3: UFO and there was UFO scene and it's well documented
Speaker 3: all over Braxton County that night. Some of them were crashing.
Speaker 3: What they couldn't understand back in the day until I
Speaker 3: got the Project blue book documents, and I started following
Speaker 3: the flight paths and then interviewing more people in Flatwood's
Speaker 3: now Connie. I was going up there for years with
Speaker 3: Stanton Friedman and al Lemberg and different friends, and we
Speaker 3: were scoping over this area and every time we did
Speaker 3: a show, more brax And County residents came out for
Speaker 3: our book signings, and we were sitting down. And that's
Speaker 3: why I say this book to be updated. I would
Speaker 3: have had about fifty times updating the importing it in print.
Speaker 3: What I do is I'll release some of the information
Speaker 3: on the web and you could see some updated articles.
Speaker 3: But missus May said at that point the sheriff was
Speaker 3: out driving around looking for something that had crashed down
Speaker 3: the road along the Ylk River a few miles away.
Speaker 3: He was not a va bable And what happened is
Speaker 3: Ailee Stewart, the reporter, got a call it his home.
Speaker 3: Because he was a photojournalist, he knew the area well.
Speaker 3: He was former Air Force and he was very responsible
Speaker 3: and he used to hang out with the police and
Speaker 3: go through the crime scenes and he would take the photographs.
Speaker 3: So he knew all the cops, he knew the state troopers,
Speaker 3: he knew the local sheriff, and he went to Missus
Speaker 3: May's house. He picked somebody else up. He proceeded up
Speaker 3: to the house and he's the one that walked in
Speaker 3: and saw the pandemonium. So he was the first person
Speaker 3: of authority to get onto the spa and it was
Speaker 3: like all hell broke loose when he walked through that
Speaker 3: front door and saw Missus May and all the kids.
Speaker 2: Now did anybody else see this creature? Was at the
Speaker 2: only time.
Speaker 3: This was saying by that particular group right there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there was at other witnesses. I heard a few years
Speaker 3: ago up there that there was actually some kids that
Speaker 3: did follow along from a distance, but they never went
Speaker 3: all the way up and they never went public with it.
Speaker 3: But the Flatwoods Monster was seen the following night. It
Speaker 3: was actually on earth for about twenty four hours. After
Speaker 3: this thing was sighted the encounter, it went back to
Speaker 3: the craft and it lifted off, and I actually have
Speaker 3: it documented and pinpointed on topographical maps through Braxton County,
Speaker 3: and different people had seen it took off in like
Speaker 3: a pendulum type motion, circled in the back of the
Speaker 3: farm where there's a railroad trestle, and then it took
Speaker 3: off and it headed south and it followed the Elk
Speaker 3: River and later that night to about a half an hour.
Speaker 3: The encounter happened about eight o'clock, about eight thirty. The
Speaker 3: thing crash land and in a place called frank Town,
Speaker 3: and it landed on a property of James.
Speaker 2: Knobb, frank Town. Come on Frank.
Speaker 3: Yep, James Knob.
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's all about you there, Okay, let me
Speaker 2: ask this. A lot of things I've experienced. You see
Speaker 2: a little craft, and yet you see bigger entities and
Speaker 2: you're like, how, you know, are they together or is
Speaker 2: there a way that this big thing came out of
Speaker 2: that small thing? And and we've seen and we've you know,
Speaker 2: some of us have learned through experience too that these
Speaker 2: you know, these entities that we see, they're huge. You know,
Speaker 2: there's also these intelligent orbs. And so there's been a
Speaker 2: lot of uh encounters, stories, witnesses experiences that the these
Speaker 2: big entities can turn into that little intelligent orb and
Speaker 2: then they go into those ships and it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's how they can fit into those ships. Was there
Speaker 2: anything like that? Was the ship that they saw the
Speaker 2: saucer big enough for this you know, huge hover craft machine.
Speaker 3: Well, it actually wasn't the saucer shape. Okay, it was
Speaker 3: shaped like a gigantic egg. Okay, oh, no shaped object,
Speaker 3: and the blunt forward, the blunt end was forward, and
Speaker 3: the tapered end was towards the rear. Now that's a
Speaker 3: good point, Connie, because I wanted to get an idea
Speaker 3: of how this big this thing was. Yeah. And Jack Davis,
Speaker 3: who I interviewed, and he's the one that actually drove
Speaker 3: me around Braxton County and Flatwoods and took me to
Speaker 3: the points where you go up these craggy little one
Speaker 3: way roads and then when we got to the top
Speaker 3: and stepped out, he says, Frank, look us there. And
Speaker 3: I looked at me. He's like, can you see where
Speaker 3: it landed? I spent a lot of time with Jack
Speaker 3: running around. He was like my tour guide. And Jack
Speaker 3: saw the craft coming in. He saw it from another
Speaker 3: part of town and I was actually he owned the
Speaker 3: car garage or repair shop, and I stopped in one
Speaker 3: day and he was on some downtime in between repairs,
Speaker 3: and I said, Jack, how big was this thing? Can
Speaker 3: you give me? Get me in a ballpark? Was the
Speaker 3: size of a Volkswagon or an eighteen wheeler. I said,
Speaker 3: just give me, get me in a ballpark with this thing.
Speaker 3: And the garage that he had, Connie, it wasn't side
Speaker 3: by side. It was to end, do you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. It was like two bays front and back,
Speaker 3: and he was he had finished working on a car
Speaker 3: in the back and he looked around the shop and
Speaker 3: he said it was about the size of this two
Speaker 3: car garage. And I said, so, what would you estimate
Speaker 3: it at? And he said it was probably about fourteen
Speaker 3: to sixteen feet high and about thirty two or thirty
Speaker 3: six feet long. And it was shaped like an egg. Oh.
Speaker 2: Man, I've seen some pictures of an egg that people
Speaker 2: have gotten on trail cams.
Speaker 3: And not the same thing that was seen over Washington. Oh.
Speaker 3: I had no idea ten Virginia. And it was sighted,
Speaker 3: so it was actually easy to track. It's like the breadcrumbs.
Speaker 3: And I worked out. I had my master map, which
Speaker 3: you could see it's all over the internet, and it
Speaker 3: was just several years of plotting points and Project blue
Speaker 3: Book actually had a ton of information in a Connie,
Speaker 3: but nobody ever played paid close attention to it. Then
Speaker 3: I was getting some of the research from some of
Speaker 3: the past investigators Barker, Ivan Sanderson, and I was going
Speaker 3: through their private notes. There was a great Barker museum
Speaker 3: in Clarksburg, and I got to go through some of
Speaker 3: that stuff and everything that was released through the pressed
Speaker 3: and talking to the locals. So we're coming forward. So
Speaker 3: I had a ton of information. I had more maps
Speaker 3: than you can imagine, Connie, and all it was was
Speaker 3: spreading these maps out for years, and every time I
Speaker 3: got a new piece, I would just plot the point
Speaker 3: and it's just connecting the dots. And I liked a
Speaker 3: different military personnel who helped me with this.
