The recent release of the UFO Files left out arguably the most exciting human vs. extraterrestrial encounter in American history: when a group of backwoods Kentucky rednecks spent an August night in 1955 fighting off a dozen goblin-like aliens with a shotgun and a rifle from inside their humble farmhouse. This is the story of The Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter aka the Hopkinsville Goblins.
