It was a night that would live in infamy, a terror-filled encounter that would haunt the minds of those who witnessed it. On a warm summer evening in 1955, two families in the rural town of Kelly-Hopkinsville, Kentucky, encountered something that defied all explanation, something they called the “Hopkinsville Goblins”

Little gray beings with big black eyes, these strange visitors caused panic and terror as they descended upon the peaceful countryside. The encounter lasted for several hours, leaving the families shaken and the town buzzing with rumors.

Was it a hoax? A misidentification of a natural phenomenon? Or was it a genuine encounter with extraterrestrial beings? What were the Hopkinsville Goblins and why did they terrorize these people?
