The Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter

On Thursday, October 29th, at 6:30 pm, the library hosts a presentation on the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter featuring the Hopkinsville Goblins. On August 21st, 1955, strange visitors allegedly visited our world and gave quite a scare to five adults and seven children living in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. These goblins, often referred to as “little green men,” had large ears, long arms, and flew around the property. This encounter became well-known enough for it to influence many areas of pop culture, including alien invasion stories and a particular toy brand. Find out what happened during this UFO encounter and how it affects the city of Hopkinsville and our world. Space is limited; registration required.
