    Honestly, if I hade worked myself all up, then taking a stroll through a dark wood with only a flashlight, and then a friggin owl (an animal with a famously scary hiss) hissed at me, you'd probably see me come running out with some incoherent stories too.
    What I'm saying is: No wonder those kids saw friggin monsters.

      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.

    • @Chevsilverado
      @Chevsilverado 4 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      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.

      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?

    • @austinvaldovino8303
      @austinvaldovino8303 4 ปีที่แล้ว +79

      @@a-sheep-of-christ 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 TH-cam-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

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.

    I know I'm late to the party here, but I think it's also important to remember how shadows work, If you shine a flashlight on a barn-owl, from some distance, while 10 feet below, the resulting shadow on the tree or foliage behind it will definitely be a large spade-like shape.

      No they don't, owls are pointed at to dismiss people's experiences. Skeptical and unimaginative people who consider themselves too smart to believe in the paranormal, those are the only ones who think a relatively small bird can be mistaken for a large humanoid.

      @@TomYawns 1. The "monster's" body was either black or dark green. It was seen in the woods at night. Occam's razor definitely applies.
      2. Barn owls are actually so scary looking, a milliseconds-long glance would be terrifying. The dark spade around its round face is just negative space. A barn owl's wings when in an intimidating position would totally make a spade shape.
      3. The adult, presumably taller than the literal children, would be able to see the owl's legs more easily, leading to her report of it having arms.
      4. Owls move quickly and silently through the air, which is legitimately terrifying.

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.

Ghost stories and tall tales were an artform. typically how it worked was the adults would tell scary stories and then send the kids into the woods at night with a crappy flashlight. The kids would generally "see" something and run back to the house screaming then stay up late developing there own story from the glimpse. It was alot of fun and a simpler time.
