British "skeptical" ufologist Peter Rogerson listed in his "entities" catalogue that approximately in 1932, in Fort Lynn, Arkansas, USA, "Ace Cocker was sat on his porch while his sister hung out the washing. As Ace went to go back inside he was confronted with a large hairy humanoid. Ace rushed inside and when he looked out the thing had gone."
He gave as source "Blackburn 2012 p50" and his evaluation was that it was "Told by a friend of Cocker’s almost 40 years later."
Ace Cocker was sat on his porch while his sister hung out the washing. As Ace went to go back inside he was confronted with a large hairy humanoid. Ace rushed inside and when he looked out the thing had gone.
Blackburn 2012 p50
Evaluation - Told by a friend of Cocker’s almost 40 years later.
Points to consider:
[pr1] documents the source reference poorly: "Blackburn 2012 p50". A title or a firstname qould have been appreciated.
It is possible that the source is a book titled "The Beast of Boggy Creek: The True Story of the Fouke Monster by Lyle Blackburn", by Lyle Blackburn, published in 2012. I found no other reference, in particular, no ufology source except fot the "skeptical catalogue [pr1].
I do not understand how Ace went back inside and was confronted to the "humanoid", and then, although apparently already inside, he rushed inside. Surely the original report would clear this up.
The story is obviously of low credibility, and there is so little information that all I an say is that it has probably nothing to do with UFOs and probably, Ace Cocker did not say "humanoid" but "monster" or something like that.
