Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter Site

On August 21, 1955, the Sutton family at a rural farmhouse reported a three-hour siege by small metallic creatures with large eyes and clawed hands that could not be killed by gunfire. Multiple witnesses — eleven adults and children — all told consistent accounts to police and Army investigators. The Kelly-Hopkinsville Goblin case remains one of the most thoroughly documented and credible alien encounter reports in history. The original farmhouse is gone, but the field where the creatures emerged from a landed craft still draws investigators.
