The obvious:  Possibly a dream of a child that, in time, has become a false recollection.

 

The surreal: Why, upon encountering this strange creature, did this gentleman automatically alight on UFOs and aliens?  It could be all sorts of weird and wonderful alternatives such as demon, angel, ghost, spirit, cryptoid, etc.

The large Komodo lizards sometimes walks on the two legs. Maybe someone released a pet Komodo dragon, and that's what he saw?

Another story full of holes, lets get past that kids embellish the hell out of stuff and out right lie they believe credulous stuff like santa and easter bunny are real.

So he claims as a young child a group of scouts stopped a bus to let kids stretch legs ( unsupervised  ) so this kid goes off on his onesy to find an old building with a lizard creature that could only be in his childhood memories opinion other worldly, yeah, right.

He sees this creature yet doesnt call his buddies or supervisor to check it out, yeah, right

Then years later couldnt find the location, not a great investagator.

And as an adult he investagates UFOs, hum could be as Vox suggested a childhood dream, that has become embellished and real to him, or a made up bunch of tripe to fit with his hobby of hunting UFOs.

I want to add, he didnt say if he and the lizard high 5ed each other, shared a bit o tea or if it didnt anything or if he tried to say "hi" to it, his tale just doesnt wash yet believers get cross with me over it.

Cub scouts are accompanied by their parents on any outing. That is how it works. These are not boy scouts, but cub scouts. This places them in the age range of 6 to 11.

The article states "Cub Scout camping trip". This young person is with an adult. The adult is not watching the child long enough for the child to wander into woods and find a safe place to hang out - a derelict building. While off from the parent or parents, this youngster finds an "alien".

We also notice that the youngster in the age of 6 to possibly early 11 gives a height, and maybe not scales, and probably a lizard, and we are to accept this today.

Children do not think like adults. That is well established in science. Somewhere around 3 to 5 years old children start to determine the difference between reality and fiction. And we know that never ends because we see adults believing in Qanon and Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson.

I was curious why you use the flatwoods monster as your avatar?
