I'd take the "awe-inspiring alien monster" over a furious mother-owl clawing at my face any day. On second thought however: I think Trey is full of sh*t. For people like him It's either swamp gas or owls, but NEVER what people claim to have seen. Don't you just love how people are so up their own a** they want to tell you what to think, see or hear?

@@a-sheepof-christ9027 First off, Trey isn't telling people what to think, he is saying that he believes what they are thinking is incorrect, which is a good assertion in cases of paranormal sightings. The concept that people can be mistaken, lying, or deceived is far more plausible than, in this case, an alien creature appearing in the woods near a rural West Virginian town. We have proof that confirmation bias, hallucinations, and misidentifications are real, while evidence of aliens is inconclusive at best and laughable at worst. Secondly, of course Trey thinks that these people are wrong. There are so many better explanations for cryptid and alien sightings than taking eyewitnesses at face value. Eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable as evidence, changing their memory of events and warping them to fit what they think it should be. Third, the only people full of shit in this story are those (like, I assume, you) who take random stories told by rather credulous people seriously and reject any evidence to the contrary. That, and the only people telling others how to think are those 'skeptics' trying to cash in on this event by blowing it out of proportion. You did hear Trey talk about how one of the conspiracy guys claimed that the adult eyewitness, Kathy May, changed her description of the creature from having 'drape-like folds' to being 'metallic' to fit other 'alien' sightings in the area around that same time, right? It's from about 10:00 to 12:25 Finally, you do know that you can curse on this site, right? There is no need to censor yourself. See: Shit, fuck, ass, dick.

​@@austinvaldovino8303 Trey does not know anything, nor does he properly check his sources. This is evident in his videos on Bible history, in particular his confusion caused by the supposed differences between masoretic texts, the septuagint and the english translations instead of outlining the academic consensus: that the dead sea scrolls are held to be more "reliable" than the Septuagint, Vulgate, or Masoretic translations: the language used in some of the fragments being older than the use of the greek in the Septuagint LXX of ca 250 BC. In the same way his information in this video is not only horribly redacted but also misinterpreted: which is the very conflation and misrepresentation you talked about. Unlike you, I dont think KZread-content-creators are a credible source for anything. Ill go with the Pentagon and Goverment officials who have spoken out on various sets of evidence in regards to unidentified aerial phenomena: which is very much linked to the eye witness accounts we hear from all across the world. Not only is your analysis of the situation immature and lacking: but your premise and argument allow only for the weakest of conclusions. Fact is that we have a order of Phenomena: I will logically choose to give more credit to the first instance: and choose to believe most witnesses - than assume their account is wrong based on weak circumstantial evidence. You clearly have no clue about what you are talking about. And I find your opinion good for a laugh but nothing else. People like Luis Elizondo, who were formerly Pentagon officials actually agree that the evidence points to a very clear picture of us "not being alone". Now he had a official position in a goverment body: you are a random person on youtube. I think I will take someone with credibility over your opinion any day. Just last year the Pentagon released multiple sets of Data that confirm atleast 3 UFO sightings: Ill drop you a link from cnn. But you can read about the information from better sources. edition.cnn.com/2017/12/18/politics/luis-elizondo-ufo-pentagon/index.html There are also people like former Israeli Space Security Chief Haim Eshed, who albeit being less credible, still held a position in a official goverment body and chose to come forward with the fact that >aliens are real/in contact with our goverments

One time a friend and I went for a multi hour long drive just talking, smoking, and drinking soda. We were out past dark and found ourselves on some back roads and ended up coming to a T intersection where we could turn left or right. But right in front of us, eerily illuminated by the car's headlights, was a partially caved in small home/shack near the road but otherwise in a field of tall grass/reeds. And I can't really explain it but seeing that image filled me with this odd sensation of dread. And not even the logical part of my brain that knew it was just because it was night time and oddly illuminated couldn't help. I quickly asked my friend to get back to the highway. In my case it wasn't alien, but surpernatural. Still freaks me out when the image pops into my head today.

I was snorkelling in the Dominican Republic as a kid and I came around the corner of a shallow reef’s rocks and saw a massive monster with a disfigured face. I seem to remember it having scary teeth and that it moved quite fast. I only got a glance before I swam away as fast as I could back to shore. Turns out I was probably looking at a manatee and my kid brain turned it into a monster either during my encounter or shortly after. It was in an estuary as well. Although seeing a wild manatee is pretty amazing as well since the population is small and spread out across the whole Caribbean.

Also, as a kid I was scared of basically any larger aquatic thing. Like salmon in the rivers where I live, seals, ect. So when I saw the manatee I was already on edge from being scared of sharks or other large things.

A few years ago I heard a noise coming from my back bedroom. I turned around in my chair and checked to see where my two cats were but they were on the couch sleeping. I stood up and went into my hall and opened my bedroom door which hadnt been opened in months (at least), expecting something scary. I looked over towards where the bed was and saw a completely black, skinny human like abomination (about 3 feet tall) crouching, staring right at me. I near shat myself. I felt all dizzy like my world was crashing in on itself. I closed the door with my literally trembling hand, something that doesnt happen to me, ever. After a few seconds, as I was a sceptic, I opened the door and stared at the corner. There was a slim line of light bouncing from the window onto the bedpost which diffused over the entire post making it look like two eyes. The darkest shadows were indeed in the shape of a human. When I switched on the light I could easily see what had caused it. Simply, me expecting to see something and then seeing something and freaking out all caused by a couple of strange shadows and a tiny amount of light hitting the bedpost XD I laughed at how my brain made me see a small demon thing with glowing eyes. Freaking scary though. But I can imagine how those that are religious in nature would swear that they had seen a demon. The brain can be so much fun sometimes.

As in, dozens of kilometers long flying at something like 0,1C. That kind of object arriving in the solar system, slambreaking hard and parking at Earths orbit would not remain undetected, and the passengers would be counted in millions instead of a couple. It is an extremely safe bet that there are no technologically advanced aliens within our radio bubble or we would be bombarded by constant astronomical information about those civilizations.

I was once looking for my runaway dog in the woods at night. I was using my phone's flashlight and was very stressed. Suddenly a pair of blue, gleaming eyes along with white sharp teeth looked back at me in the darkness. I was petrified and I asked the thing (literally) "what are you?" I thought it was either a wild boar or something unexplained. Turned out it was just a black pitbull type dog who after encountering me run to it's owner, no barking or growling whatsoever. And my runaway pup went straight home and miraculously was not hit by any car.

Having heard a barn owl hiss at night before, I can say it is absolutely a terrifying experience, and with the glowing red eyes due to flashlight reflection and the meteor putting ideas in their head, I have absolutely no doubt that a barn owl scared the sh*t out of those kids! Really great video, thank you!

Except for the meteor reports(confirmed by a government agency though) the whole time I watched I was thinking cold war test pilots. The smell was burning fuel. The mysterious glow that only 1 kid mentions was the burning wreck. The monster was the pilot, tangled in the trees by his parachute, suffering/dying from decompression injury. The bottom half of the body is the parachute an his face is bloated and red with blood from sudden decompression from the cockpit. Possibly swollen around his goggles causing the glowing eyes effect.

just found your channel and I love the depth and the research that goes into your videos! I especially enjoy the drawings you put in; they look lovely :)

I think it was an animal in a hollow tree stump. with a hole in it..It even doesnt have to be necessary an owl (but its a high chance). It can be any animal which eyes are red when reflecting light. The ''arms'' where only branches of this tree (or much more likely) fallen background branches in the background (which explains why not everyone of the kids saw it as arms (because the perspective was different for the other kids). Also there was probably some stuff in front of this tree, so that the other kids didnt saw the stump - only the woman. And she described it as 'green' because a lot of trees, espescially dead ones on the ground, has a lot of moss on the bottom. There was reported also mist in the area (according to this video) ... This can create spooky halo-effects around objects which are lighted by the flashlight. The hissing threatening sound was a scared animal (because of ''few strange humans, in the night, came nearer and nearer - and they have flashlights, etc). It was for sure just an acustic warning signal from the animal... All together added - and the things the video already mentioned , - connected that they all where convinced they saw an UFO yesterday, they were sure 'thats the creature' ... They wanted to see something scary - so they saw it. The illness effects are clearly psychosomatic - as the video described it perfectly. Case closed.
