5.0 out of 5 stars THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2016

I'm a "collector" of UFO-related books; have several of them. In my opinion, this book by Frank Feschino Jr. is probably one of the best!

The author has taken his time -- over about a 20 year period -- to thoroughly research this incident -- and related phenomena on the same date -- in exacting detail. In the book, he provides images of much of the documentation related to his narrative. Plus, he interviewed many eye witnesses to the event.

From his dogged research, it's not hard to believe that, truly, "the truth is out there!"

4.0 out of 5 stars A very interesting book in need of some serious “streamlining”
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2020

Much praise should be given to the author for all the years he has put into researching “The Braxton County/Flatwoods Monster.” Where Feschino’s book really shines is tying the events in Flatwoods, WV to the greater series of UFO sightings on the night of September 12, 1952. The reading was enjoyable until I hit about Chapter 16 – The Truth?, when things started to become a grind until Chapter 21 – The Last September 12 Sightings. Here’s the good and bad:

The Good
1) Feschino backs up much of the book with plenty of eye witness accounts, his own interviews, newspaper articles, etc. to add validity to the event.
2) The chapters on USAF pilot and radar operator Jones and DelCurto, lost over the Gulf of Mexico on September 12, was interesting and sad.
3) I liked his drawings of the “monster” and the hypothesis that it was actually a mobile spacesuit for an entity within. I don’t think there’s any doubt that the object was in fact mechanical. Really neat! Plus, the sighting of the same entity just before its “rescue” at the end of the book was captivating.
4) I liked how he drew sketches for the different types of UFOs that were seen that night.
5) Photos taken of the locations involved with the Flatwoods encounter and the maps tracking the various UFOs was helpful, although I wish he had included a map of just the Fisher Farm area.
6) The part about “Bashful Billy” was intriguing. Another alien entity that was injured, left stranded, and died at Vineyard Hill, Wheeling, WV, around the same time as the Braxton County Monster.

The Not so Good
1) Feschino makes note that the first release of his book was a mess. I’m glad he was able to get past this and release the updated and revised edition. However, the book still needs some major editing. The same information is repeated over and over again. He makes the same points over and over again as well. This really turned the reading into a grind at times, and I found myself just scanning the material on occasion. It probably added dozens of unnecessary pages. This is where things need streamlined.
2) Don’t get me wrong, I love the fine details, and you better have legitimate sources to back up your evidence (especially when it comes to UFOs), but the author throws everything and the kitchen sink into the book. Too much!
3) The scenario of the UFO dogfights over the Gulf of Mexico/FL and off the east coast has problems. Where are the sources that provide evidence that multiple U.S. fighter aircraft were shot down by UFOs on September 12? Is it an example of “what if’s” and not meant to be taken as actual events? In Feschino’s other book Shoot Them Down!: The Flying Saucer Air Wars of 1952? Don’t get me wrong, the Jones/DelCurto incident is strange and reeks of either cover-up or incompetence, or both. Feschino gives plenty of eye witness testimony, newspaper articles, etc. to back-up earlier material, but none for all the aircraft supposedly lost.
4) Continuing from #3, why didn’t the U.S. fighters just land at civilian airports if all the bases were being “blockaded” by UFOs? Also, there must have been thousands of base personnel who witnessed these unknown aircraft hovering over? Where is there testimony? Surely someone would have talked?
4) Maybe I’m missing something, but how do we know there was a “mothership” launching the smaller craft?
5) So many UFOs are “tracked” that even with Feschino’s lists at the back of the book, etc., it’s about impossible to keep tabs on what each is doing without having to flip back and forth numerous times.

Despite its flaws, this is an important book about a key event in UFO history and definitely worth a read. There’s no doubt thousands witnessed strange aerial phenomenon on September 12, 1952, and it wasn’t meteors! Hopefully one day there will be a Braxton County/Flatwoods Monster driving tour linking all the key sites!

Enjoy!

A thorough and untainted look into one heck of a scary set of circumstances. Excellent photos to go with the descriptions the witnesses give and also of the places where all the action took place. No grammatical errors, no "filler", no redundant information and most importantly no bs. (Personally I was very pleased with this purchase despite the rather high price and found it in the end to be worth every penny. I hope Mr.Feschino derives a profit from his hard work and determination to get to the bottom of yet another government cover up.)

A real eye opener. Meticulously researched and a real page turner. I know this is what the event is called by locals buy a different title would be justified to equal the content and credibility of the book. I was blown away. I would say more but would reveal too much. Very highly recommended.

Mr Feschino’s thorough research and organization of this subject is incomparable and very extensive. Truly encapsulates the events of September 12th, 1952 and goes to show that there is far more to the Flatwoods incident and it’s background than minor sources online or in other collective UFO publications would lead you to believe.

The initial reporting on the incident was very good and solid. The reader could be convinced after so many eyewitness accounts that corroborate. However, once the author moves on from the initial incident into subsequent stories his credibility nose dives. As an ex-ATC I found his explanations, theories and pure conspiracies tiresome and ridiculous. I could easily, from my experiences, answered many of his open questions regarding USAF actions and flight abnormalities particularly to do with ATC and Tower operations.
