The Hopkinsville Goblins: Night of the Kelly Green Men

On the night of August 21, 1955, the Sutton and Taylor families in rural Kentucky reported being besieged for hours by small, strange humanoid figures with glowing eyes. Their vivid accounts, gunfire on the property, and the rush of law enforcement turned the incident into one of the most famous and debated UFO encounters. Theories range from extraterrestrials and mass hysteria to misidentified wildlife such as great horned owls, but no conclusive explanation has been found, leaving the Kelly–Hopkinsville case a lasting mystery.
