Nick Redfern discusses the 1952 Flatwoods Monster incident in West Virginia, linking the 12-foot mechanical creature to military psychological warfare. He cites a 1950 RAND document and British Army records from WWII involving a similar 12-foot robotic device used to terrify Italian villagers. Redfern suggests the Flatwoods event may have been a staged military test to gauge public reaction to a potential UFO invasion or supernatural event.

A former British Army soldier reported that an elite unit shadowing Princess Diana in Devonshire in 1989 witnessed a large black cat prowling near her residence. The military allegedly covered up the sighting to avoid revealing the secret surveillance operation protecting the Princess from potential kidnapping. Redfern uses this as an example of how cryptid information is often suppressed as collateral to other national security secrets.
