Kelly Hopkinsville Encounter, The Goblin «Invasion» of 1955

There is a pervasive stereotype that only hillbillies from the southern United States see UFOs and aliens - or «Little Green Men.» While this stereotype is patently false, it was not created out of thin air. Rather, the association between uneducated southerners and UFO landings, as well as the popularity of the term «Little Green Men,» both come from a highly influential case from rural Kentucky in 1955.
