Aliens: The Metal Man




On October 17, 1973 in Falkville, Alabama Police Chief, Jeff Greenhaw, would receive a call from a frantic anonymous caller. They stated that a UFO was in a field just outside of town. The police chief believed that they were simply dealing with an idiot initially and went to the call.

When he arrived he was staring at a figure that was slightly taller than 6ft. The figure was wearing reflective metal like aluminum foil. It looked like his head and neck were kind of made together, and was bright, something like rubbing mercury or Nickle, and was smooth as glass. He stated different angel were giving different lightening. When the figure moved it was not natural or human-like. He described it as moving like the robot in Lost in Space. It was like it had springs on its feet, but was able to run away quickly. 

After taking four polaroid's of the strange being he tried to talk to it. He said something along the lines of "Howdy Stranger". He then turned the top lights of the patrol car to get a better look. When he looked back the thing was quickly running away. He got into the patrol car and chased the figure. It exceeded 35mph and he could not catch up to it in the field. 

He would lose sight of the being and soon crashed his vehicle. The figure would then disappear in the darkness leaving the police chief stunned. If it wasn't for the four polaroids that he took he would have not believed what he saw that night.  His time as a police chief for Falkville was short as he was hired in January and left a few weeks after this event. He felt that he was never the same ever since that night and his sanity was shaken.

He would then keep the four photos in a safe place before they, his service revolver and a shotgun were stolen in 1983 during a break-in.
