Well judging from the second link and the picture of the guys telling the story..I'm thinking someone was tippling the white lightn'n a bit too much that night…. |
| Cacique Caribe | 06 Oct 2009 3:45 p.m. PST |
But you'll need a few figures of Kentuckian natives to go with the little alien "goblins": link CC |
| M C MonkeyDew | 06 Oct 2009 4:23 p.m. PST |
They look like Chupacabras. Any monkey test facilities in the area? |

For those gaming 28mm figures, would these 15mm Greys work? link
rebelminis.com/15algru.html I guess all you'd need to do is add some ears and, presto, you've got yourself some Kelly-Hopkinsville Goblins to shoot! For gaming in 15mm, I have absolutely no idea. CC |

Yeah … I've heard about this story on TV a number of times … I was stationed in Kentucky, when I was in the Army … I think there was some "shine" involved …  |

Some of us are from Kentucky CPT Jake and we clean up a little better than those fellas in you image . . . . . well, most of the time, sometimes, well at least we like to think we do . . . . ah, screw it . . . . Jeff |

Btw CC you should do a little google-fu on bigfoot sightings in connection with UFO's, that's when it starts to get really weird! |

| Cacique Caribe | 07 Oct 2009 9:24 a.m. PST |
ComradeCommissar, That's what I was thinking when I saw the pics. LOL. Maybe we were just about to get the solution to all our energy and medical problems, and a few trigger-happy hill farmers ruined it for all of us! CC |
| GarnhamGhast | 07 Oct 2009 10:40 a.m. PST |
Well they sure picked a bad place to pull their first contact, didn't they :) No wonder they started knocking people out, abducting them and blanking their memories! |
| Pyrate Captain | 07 Oct 2009 4:26 p.m. PST |
Good thing for the owls that the residents of the farm, located north of Hopkinsville, had consumed sufficient quantities of whatever it was, that all they could hit was the window screen. I can believe a lot, but not this one. |
| DAWGIE | 08 Oct 2009 7:45 a.m. PST |
OMG!
this is too good to pass up! why bother staying with the alleged facts of the encounter?
set the event further back in time, the 1920s or 1930s, and use the leads to represent the "poe backwoods hillbillys" in the encounter.

link and then use these for the damned prying revenuers:

and some where, i do not remember where, are some very nice campaign hat wearing STATE POLICE that would work well for the above scenario, too.

Dawgie, When I first heard about it I thought . . . "here's a gaming idea". Terrain would be relatively easy, I think. * Log house
* Trees and shrubs (lots and lots)
* Shed
* Truck
* Outhouse
* Log pile
* Chicken coop Am I missing anything? CC |

A barn. What else are you going to hide your UFO, or alien band in, or behind? |
| Pyrate Captain | 11 Oct 2010 11:37 a.m. PST |
I wondered what happened to this post. |

Oh, a picnic table out back too. Almost everyone has one of those. A doughboy pool too, if they don't have a fishing pond. It can double as a watering trough for the animals also. |
| Pyrate Captain | 18 Oct 2010 10:10 a.m. PST |
Barn owls, shotguns and Mary Jane! |

OK Dan (and others), I am working in Metropolis, IL., a relatively short distance from Hopkinsville, KY. I am prepared to conduct field research for any and all gamers interested in this scenario. Just tell me what you want me to find out about this case. I am willing to go to the scene and find whatever I can of an incident that happened when I was about 5 months old. PC. |
| Cacique Caribe | 24 Jan 2011 10:08 p.m. PST |
PC, That is just too cool! I'm sure that there must be all kinds of space goblin souvenirs at their local stores. Can't wait to see what you find. Dan |

I would love to make a log cabin suitable for this crazy UFO scenario and for other strange stuff: TMP link Suggestions appreciated. Dan |
| Cacique Caribe | 16 Jun 2011 8:57 a.m. PST |
Well, according to the show "Destination Truth", it looks like those gremlin-like creatures are also showing up in the jungles of Peru and Brazil, and called "Chullachaqui": picture

I still haven't got there. It's only about 100 miles away, but this summer for sure. |
| Cacique Caribe | 30 Nov 2011 2:34 p.m. PST |
My revised list: * Log house or wood plank cabin
* Trees and shrubs (lots and lots)
* Shed
* Truck
* Outhouse
* Log pile and trash burning pile
* Chicken coop
* A still
* Three or four hills
* A handful of hill folk with shotguns and other weapons, plus a spunky granny and a couple of "farmer's daughters"
* A couple dozen Greys from Rebel Minis
* A small UFO on the ground, getting repaired
* Maybe a small field with a crop circle near the landing site
* A 2 x 4 foot MDF board with grass mat glued on top Something like this, perhaps: link But the still is a must!
Do you guys think I'm missing anything? Dan |
| Pyrate Captain | 15 Jan 2012 8:55 p.m. PST |
OK, I finally got around to visiting Hopkinsville, Kentucky and Kelly, Kentucky. In fact I took route 41 all the way to Crofton Kentucky from Hopkinsville. Although the book WEIRD KENTUCKY, pp 68-69, indicates Kelly has an annual Little Green Men Festival, one would never know it. In fact, if it were not for the sign on the Kelly Baptist Church, one would not know he or she was in Kelly, Kentucky. There are no markers showing where the Aliens (or barn owls) landed or even where the Sutton Farm is (was) located. However, I did travel the road that Lucky and his kin-folk must have traveled to reach the Christian County Sheriff's Department in Hopkinsville and where the MPs from Ft. Campbell must have entered the area. This trip was inspired from reading the rules IT CAME FROM BEYOND THE STILL, a wonderful dream with Gillian Anderson in it, a hangover from too many MAI-TAIs and sheer boredom. For atmosphere, I listened to the soundtrack of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL,(1951),until my wife couldn't stand listening to it any longer. No little statues of Goblins in tacky gift shops. In fact, no gift shops at all. Just rolling Kentucky countryside, a very busy spur of railroad track and the local gentry on the road who seemed particularly unimpressed by my Illinois license tags. There is an incredible array of 50s-60s vintage vehicle hulks along the road. Sorry Dan, if the aliens landed in Kelly Kentucky, your agency covered all traces. |

That's sad. If the locals don't think it's such a special spot for UFO history, it really should make outsiders wonder where all the hype came from originally. Man, don't you just love sensational media! They probably got the town wrong, the farm name, the date, and who knows what else, just to make the story sell-able. Either that or the locals haven't got a clue how to make the most of their unusual history. In any case, an alien expeditionary force invading a rural ranch sounds like the makings of a cool game, don't you think? Dan
PS. Pyrate, great job with that trip and the update! |
