What Exactly Was the Flatwoods Monster?

In the early evening of Sept. 12th 1952 near Flatwoods, West Virginia, a group of people came face to face with what would be commonly known as the Flatwoods Monster.  Several other names have popped up over the years,  such as the Braxton County Monster or the Phantom of Flatwoods, but the core story remains the same.

What makes this encounter of the 4th kind so enigmatic is how utter[ly] alien the creature was, how disturbing the encounter was, and the resulting sickness in those that were part of the event.
