Welcome back to your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad! This week, Tyler and Woody delve into one of the most chilling and legendary tales of extraterrestrial encounters: the Kelly-Hopkinsville Goblins. This eerie story, set in the 1950s rural Kentucky, is packed with high strangeness, folklore, and spine-tingling suspense. Picture this: a warm summer night in 1955, the Sutton family finds themselves besieged by mysterious creatures after a strange light is spotted in the sky. What follows is a night of terror as the family defends their home against these otherworldly beings, described as small, goblin-like entities with glowing eyes and metallic skin. Despite their best efforts, the creatures seem unharmed by gunfire, leaving the Suttons and the entire town of Hopkinsville in shock. Tyler and Woody unravel this bizarre encounter, discussing its impact on UFO lore and the media frenzy that followed. They explore various theories—from mistaken identity with great horned owls to the possibility of a military cover-up. The story's legacy continues to intrigue and mystify, as the Sutton family maintained their account until their last days, never seeking fame or fortune.
