The Metal Man of Falkville4/16/2018 The Metal Man of Falkville Alabama, shown in the picture below, is a very curious case. The image is scanned from page 301 of 'Geheimsache UFO' by Hesemann located in the Bibliothek Andreas Zust. The witness of the Metal Man, Jeff Greenhaw, was the chief of police at the time when he had the sighting that would ultimately get him fired, lead to his wife divorcing him, and his house also burned down. Most of the sources below recount the exact same story: http://www.cryptopia.us/... http://www.ufocasebook.com/... https://books.google.ch/... http://realunexplainedmysteries.com/... http://outtherewithted.com/... The third source has an interesting first person account of perpetrating hoax which is quite similar to whatever Greenhaw witnessed and then the author writes about how he tried to contact Greenhaw, who does not want anything to do with the story which was detrimental to his life. The fourth source is not special in the article itself but the comments below the article have an array of commentators who claim to know the person who created the hoax and even one who claims to be the daughter of Greenhaw... What is the most probable actual reality of this story? The context of the situation, according to the reports, would be that this rural area after 10pm would be very dark except for Greenhaw's truck lights. Some individuals likely played a prank on the man by making/finding a costume reminiscent of 1950's sci-fi movies, calling in a fake UFO sighting, and then pretending to be the metal man and running off. Greenhaw's perception of the event, during the short time when everything happened and in the darkness, looked to fill in the gaps in order to make sense of the event. Greenhaw, probably believes, or believed, what he saw to be true. However, the numerous claims that it was a prank and the Metal Man's similar appearance to the automaton in the famous sci-fi movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still", and similar alien entities of other 1950's mass media, result in the most probable truth of the situation that it was probably a prank. If there was/are aliens visiting us, they probably would not resemble how we imagine them to be and the Metal Man of Falkville Alabama is very much reminiscent of extraterrestrial visitors which remained in the American collective unconscious left over from the explosion of 1950s sci-fi fervor.
Is the truth still out there?
