The fog over the Ohio River hides more than just rusted history; it conceals the Mothman, a high-frequency biological warning system known in archival circles as Kael’thear. While popular culture paints this entity as a winged predator stalking the TNT area, the reality is far more tragic—a cosmic guardian bound to a Star Core containment field that has been leaking into the West Virginia soil since a catastrophic breach in 1943.

Ethymologically and biologically, the entity serves as a "Canary in the Works," an observer forced into a containment role after its vessel’s stabilizers fused with local ordnance. The Mothman sightings of the 1960s were not acts of terror, but desperate, non-verbal warnings meant to repel a population unknowingly encroaching on a volatile chemical marriage of alien radiation and decaying TNT. This scholarly investigation moves past mass hysteria to examine the "Abruption"—the moment in 1967 when the creature’s stabilization frequency collapsed, leading to the Silver Bridge disaster.

In this audio drama presentation, researchers Alex Harper and Riley Voss infiltrate the restricted McClintic Wildlife Management Area to confront the source of the green glow pulsing within the concrete igloos. They encounter a shimmering, iridescent black humanoid—not a monster, but an exile scarred by decades of solitary vigil. If you’ve ever wondered about the Mothman, this episode is crystal clear.
