The Kelly–Hopkinsville Goblin Siege: The Night Little Green Men Came to Kentucky

from Mysteries at Bedtime

In August 1955, a terrified Kentucky family burst into a small-town police station claiming they’d spent the night under attack from “little men” that bullets couldn’t hurt. What officers found at the Sutton farmhouse would become one of the strangest and most controversial cases in UFO history. In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we head to rural Kelly–Hopkinsville to walk hour by hour through the so-called “Goblin Siege”: the glowing craft in the sky, the strange metallic creatures at the windows, the 20–plus officers who swore the family were genuinely afraid, and the investigations that followed. Were they besieged by aliens, fooled by owls, or swept up in a perfect storm of fear, folklore and bad timing? Settle in as we unpack one of the classic foundations of the “little green men” legend.You can get early and ad free access to this show and more here Hosted on Acast.
