Did A Kentucky Town Fight Off Aliens In 1955?

Tuesday, November 20, 2012 13:27

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

A mysterious event back in 1955 inspired some of Hollywood’s most famous movies, including E.T. and Poltergeist. The event? A Kentucky family claimed to have been visited by aliens from outer space. LEX 18′s Adam Winer took a trip back the the scene of this alleged alien encounter for LEX 18′s Mystery Monday.

They said that for four hours, they fought off the aliens by shooting at them. Back in 1955, everyone thought the Sutton family was crazy. The family claimed to have been visited by a flying saucer and creatures they described as small goblins. And the Sutton story has never wavered – even 55 years later.

Geraldine Sutton Stith wasn’t yet born when her father had the unexplained encounter. “They were keeping it hid from us if you want to know the truth about the whole thing,” she said.

It happened, her father Elmer Lucky Sutton one day explained to her, on the night of August 21, 1955. “The family actually battled with something for that long a period of time,” said Stith. They battled for several hours. They ran to Hopkinsville to get help. Then they battled again until 5:15 in the morning.

“It was like a horror movie. These little suckers were like being shot and being hit and coming back,” she said.

Word spread like wildfire all over the area that a spaceship from Mars loaded with aliens had landed in the yard of the Sutton home on the northeast side of Kelly. Local historian William Turner was a teenager at the time, and says the story turned the town upside down.

“The media descending upon Hopkinsville,” said Turner. “The involvement the military via Fort Campbell. The participation by the state police.”

The story gripped the imagination of the country, says Turner. But is it true? Geraldine says of course it is. “These were quiet people that didn’t want nobody messing in their business,” she said. “And, something happened. Something visited them that night.’

Police said there was no evidence the family had been drinking, and no evidence ever proved their story wrong either.
