What happened on the fateful night of the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter?
It was a warm summer's night in 1955 when the Sutton family witnessed something otherworldly on their property. What began as glowing eyes and small creatures peering into their home quickly escalated into full-blown gunfire outside. News of this event spread rapidly, first popularizing the phrase Little Green Men. Today, we explore the fascinating case of the Kelly Hopkinsville encounter. This is Red Web. Welcome back, Task Force, to another episode of Red Web, the podcast all about unsolved mysteries, true crime, and the supernatural. I'm your resident mystery enthusiast, Trevor Collins, and joining me, hearing this case for the very first time, Alfredo Diaz.
Oh, you said gunfire? mm-hmm that's okay we're just and then you said little green man little green man gunfire uh very van meter style if you remember that episode where they saw creatures outside just started blasting yeah that's right was it that farm yes over in iowa yeah uh okay i'm just you know making sure i hear this correctly yeah no it's uh it's an interesting case all right so we're shooting at aliens yeah i don't know if that's like the smartest thing to like if i was walking my dogs in the middle of the night and i saw a little figure on top of the house or something yeah or down the street gonna give him a little boom bop i feel like if it started approaching me you know or at least if it was in my home or somehow it was more legal i guess i i guess i would i don't know man like
started fronting on me yeah or oh my god started hopping house to house on rooftops oh my god some like krampus or something yeah man hell no uh i wouldn't start firing off but i i would unholster if i had a gun on me so you're getting your hand prepped you know you're cracking your knuckles with a fist i'll be prepped what am i gonna do against something like that man
Very little. Zero, in fact. These are maybe multidimensional beings, maybe intergalactic. Who knows? This thing's going to hold out its hand like Neo and stop your bullets with a smile.
Exactly.
But at least you tried. Right. Maybe ants are doing something to us when we're just kind of going about our lives. You're a kid with a magnifying glass if you're extra sadistic or you're just kind of walking down the sidewalk and don't see them. Maybe they're down there going like... Here comes another! And they're starting to launch little sand granules at you. But you just, you have no idea, right? I feel like it'd be of that nature. I always go back to ants and humans when I think of humans and aliens. I don't know. It's a scale thing. It's not a technical thing, but I don't know. This topic is super fascinating. It is... Honestly, it's one of the ones that helped popularize that old adage, little green men, describing aliens as these maybe three-foot-tall creatures, big heads, big eyes, green. You also have The Greys, which is a popular title. But we're kind of exploring all the old etymology lately of aliens. Flying saucers, little green men, etc.
These titles are these names that haven't really been around in more recent years. Now we got UAPs. And you're talking about interdimensional beings, things like that. But this one comes from a Task Force member, actually two of them, Patreon member PinkFrap, as well as Instagram user Noah True. So thank you guys so much for submitting this one to us. Oh my God, we have two members? That's awesome. We got two members out here.
Who?
Task Force, you can always submit topics if you are a Task Force member on Patreon, especially you get some extra priority. We have a form over there where you can fill that out. And we always look through that when we kind of build out our creative slate, they call it in the business. And while talking about the Task Force, I want to give some shout outs, of course, as we always do.
