Wikipedia overview indexed “Flatwoods monster” in connection with the public record around Flatwoods monster, a 1952 UFO/UAP dossier centered on Flatwoods, West Virginia, United States. The source is useful because it fixes a checkable part of the record: who published the material, what topic it addressed, and how it connects to the timeline, witness layer, official response or later research around the case.
The accessible source text states: The Flatwoods monster, in West Virginia folklore, is a creature reported to have been sighted in the town of Flatwoods in Braxton County, West Virginia, United States, on September 12, 1952, after a bright light crossed the night sky. Investigators now suggest the light was a meteor and the creature was a barn owl perched in a tree, with shadows making it appear to be a large humanoid. In the archive context, that material is treated as a primary or secondary record to be compared with the case chronology rather than as a standalone proof of an extraordinary origin.
For Flatwoods monster, the relevant evidence categories include witnesses, local reports. The source should therefore be read alongside the dossier's witness accounts, timeline, evidence analysis and skeptical notes, especially where the material concerns official statements, video records, archival summaries or media reports.
The evidence boundary remains important. A source page can document that a report, document, video or database entry exists, but it does not by itself establish that the object or event was anomalous. This local record preserves the source's role in the case while keeping unresolved claims separate from confirmed facts. Original source URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatwoods_monster
