The Kelly-Hopkinsville encounter (also known as the Hopkinsville Goblins Case or Kelly Green Men Case) was a claimed close encounter with extraterrestrial beings in 1955 near the communities of Kelly and Hopkinsville in Christian County, Kentucky, United States. UFOlogists regard it as one of the most significant and well-documented cases in the history of UFO incidents, while skeptics say the reports were due to "the effects of excitement" and misidentification of natural phenomena such as meteors and owls. The United States Air Force classified the alleged incident as a hoax in the Project Blue Book files.
Psychologists have used the alleged incident as an academic example of pseudoscience to help students distinguish truth from fiction.

I honestly feel bad for the Suttons. First they experienced one of their most terrifying nights, and then they were constently both ridiculed and harrased by assholes that end up profiting from their truma. All they wanted was to be left alone and instead they were forced out of their own town. That just sucks.

Juvenile owls are in fact silver/gray/white before they lose their down which makes them significantly fluffier than their adult counterparts. This also makes them very clumsy so they have to use their wings to help them stand and appear bigger than they are. They're also quite rambunctious before they learn to fly efficiently due to simple lack of experience. Sounds to me like the Kelly's met a local family of owls which had just grown old enough to start practicing flight. Angry adults are scary enough when properly identified. A juvenile great horn owl's size and sheer rarity could definitely be scary.

Finally Detective Ridiculous is back and with one of my favorite stories! What makes the encounter even funnier is that the aliens(?) walked every time very slowly towards the building with their hands up. When they got shot they would fall over and run with enormous speed back into the woods. This makes explanations difficult, because an owl would not run nor hold its non-existing arms up. Monkeys also don't fit the descriptions... That is why I like this story so much. Most cryptide/alien/ghost/... encounter stories are either just stories or easily explained. This isn't here case and it might be forever a mystery.

I’m pretty sure it was a bunch of wildly drunk rednecks firing guns off at the chicken coop that an owl was perched on… then they scared the bajeezus out of it and it flew away… or flapped limpy away when they horribly injured it. To be clear I haven’t watched their explanation yet cause I save them for my morning drives to work weekdays, and they’ve done serious research and revealed ground breaking information that other sources outright ignore or don’t know about so I could be very wrong or presuming a lot based on documentaries I’ve seen who like to portray Appalachian people as drunken white trash conspiracy theorists… …and to be fair we kinda are, but a stereotype is still harmful even if it’s kinda true….

When you encounter an owl, it can be scary, especially when it's dark. An owl's wings makes almost no noise when they fly. Owls don't screech when defending their territory, unless it's a screech owl, most owls hiss when threatened or feel threatened. It can be quite terrifying to get swooped by an owl, especially when it's dark. Because many species of owl live in pairs, it's common for one to fly to the ground and act as a distraction for what they perceive as a threat while the other stays at the nest to protect the eggs/owlings. The 1950's were the start of the red scare. In movies, novellas and comic books, space aliens were used as a stand-in for communists. During heightened times of paranoia, sightings of aliens and cryptids goes up.

I absolutely believe the owl story. Even if owls live around, you so rarely will see them that you may never even know they're there. The spork hands are reminscent of the feathers at the end of an owl's wings. If it was making sounds, they may not have heard it much over gunfire, or they may not have realized any hooting was related to the creature in front of them. The fact it kept coming back in the middle of the night screams territorial behavior. Dogs also will go nuts over owls - my old dog used to do it. It was probably also moving quickly. Additionally, if they did hit one then that could explain it not flying, whereas the other one was. Owls are also smaller than most people think, so it's entirely possible that (especially while afraid) they did miss every shot.

@doombybbr Жыл бұрын

Probably a lot of them, it benefits the government to have a convenient excuse for someone seeing their experimental aircrafts. If UFOs were to get labelled with "government drone" by the general public the enemy intel agencies would investigate them that very second, so there needs to be other things that they could be called in order to distract from what else it can be. Because people jump to "alien"(or other suitably outrageous explaination) the UFOs generally get ignored. So the government would be guarenteed to circulate misinformation surrounding UFOs that were actually their experimental aircraft and then also make anyone who pays attention to UFOs out to be a nutter - as they want as little trustworthy info as possible to be accessible about their experimental aircrafts. Eventually they end up believing their own propaganda and start ignoring obvious shit like a giant Chinese air balloon travelling across America

To be fair on the bullets/shooting part. Bullets do tend to often spin when they ricochet creating some neat sounds. These could be mistaken for bouncing/penetrating metal. They can also ricochet off of the ground, rocks, trees and basically anything with the right angle. It also really depends on the guns and bullets used, could be bad condition and key-holing (going sideways) causing awful accuracy and the interesting noises. Smaller caliber could easily bounce or a bad hit with something like a .22 might not stop the bird immediately even if it hit. Maybe even piss it off enough to be even more aggressive. Edit: so also on the sound part, after a couple shots with no ear protection there’s no way you’d hear even the angriest owl. Indoors makes it even worse and they’d all pretty easily get hearing damage from sustained gunfire in a confined place. Might not have even heard the owl later on from sheer tinnitus lol.

I remember a tv show called Project Blue Book. The Orks painted some gretchin silver and sent them to earth.

The reason for the MPs was there was a very real concern that they had started shooting at a squad of soldiers (this town is right next to Fort Campbell) doing some training activity that night. Fascinating story.

The recent Infographics show mentioned this incident on a video it'd dropped a few days ago. Worth a watch.

I'm disappointed in the lack of Nyan cat when talking about the unidentified flying tub, UFT. I think it was a comet. It would have made a rainbow as it melted until the water melted and the whole thing disappeared.

Sableye being based on this story is kinda cute and wholesome in a weird way.

Normally I like to listen to stories Bricky, DK, and Shy you guys talk about. Hardly I ever get personally interested in something like this. But when I heard about the Hopkinsville Goblin, it took a 180 for me. The name "Taylor" are kin to me. Taylor was the maiden name of my grandmother Mabel T. Henegar. While many of my relatives were out of the Saltville/Tazewell, area of Virginia. We do have family out of Tennessee and Kentucky as well. Thanks for this story guys. I would also suggest if you guys want to look more into supernatural/cryptid/paranormal stories, VA has plenty. Ufo sightings in Wytheville, VA just close to the First Gulf War. Which was featured as a segment on "Unsolved Mysteries". My grandmother Pauline Patton lived in Wytheville, VA when this took place.
