Does Mothman Work for ETs?
Tuesday September 18, 2007 7:59 AMMothman — a huge gray-black humanoid creature with wings and glowing red eyes — terrorized an area around Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966-67 and became the stuff of movies in The Mothman Prophecies, based on the book by the same title by paranormal journalist John Keel. Explanations for this creature have ranged from barn owls and cranes to ultraterrestrials, mysterious beings thought to come from other dimensions. But there's another — and scary — possibility.
What if Mothman is really an extraterrestrial — or something created by ETs as a scout and spy? The idea has merit, and it may explain a lot of other bizarre things that happened during the famous wave of sightings in the '60s. And by the way, Mothman is still out there — sightings continue to this day, though not with the intensity of the '60s wave.
Mothman certainly grabbed the headlines. Who wouldn't be terrified of a half-beast, half-human figure that looked like it came straight out of hell? Mothman surprised people, watched them, and sometimes pursued them as they fled in cars. It took off on its wings, rising straight up in the air. It had red eyes set more into its shoulders than on a head. Despite its fearful appearance, the creature never directly harmed anyone. Mothman seemed interested in observing people. When seen, it often vanished into the air, as though it were not to be observed itself.
However, Mothman was not the center of the high strangeness that gripped the West Virginia-Ohio area. The Mothman wave was really part of a UFO wave. Countless strange lights and crafts were reported moving in the skies. A few people even had contacts with beings who claimed to be ETs. Phones and electrical equipment went haywire. Animals and people acted strangely. Men in Black made threatening appearances to UFO witnesses. The wave of activities intensified until the Silver Bridge across the Ohio River collapsed on Dec. 15, 1967, killing 46 people. The high strangeness ended.
Perhaps Mothman was part of the ET force and left with its bosses or creators. Perhaps it was a being, or a type of artificial intelligence, sent out to gather information, spy and report. Mothman's role may have been to divert attention and to intimidate to keep human interference at a minimum. It was instructed — or programmed — not to harm or communicate, and to clear out if human targets became too curious.
Recruited, created or programmed, Mothman is not the only mysterious creature associated with UFO activity. The Jersey Devil, which has a long history of sightings, frequents the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, an area known for its UFO activity. And many Bigfoot sightings go hand in hand with area UFO activity.
Mothman's occasional reappearances — which are not limited to West Virginia and Ohio — could be part of an ongoing ET surveillance of human beings and our planet. There may be more to Mothman than a heart-thumping scare!
