The whole UFO case report:
“Brad Sparks:
Aug. 21, 1955; Kelly, 7
miles N of Hopkinsville, Kentucky (BBU)
7, 8-11 p.m., 2:30-4:45 a.m. At about 7 p.m. Billy Ray Taylor went into
the backyard of the Sutton farmhouse and saw a bright object from the SW [or
actually about SSW about 210° azimuth from the direction of Fort Campbell U.S.
Army base] then pass over and descend into a gully about 500 [300-600?] ft N of
the farmhouse and about 35-40
ft lower elevation. Mrs. Glennie Lankford and 6 other
adults [most Sutton family], plus 3 children (Charlton, Lonnie and Mary
Lankford), saw two or more 3 ft
tall gremlin-like creatures float down from trees and approach the house from
the dark, which were shot at by rifle and shotgun fire without effect. At about
11 p.m. the entire group fled in terror in their two cars and drove at high
speed into Hopkinsville to report the incident to the Police Dept. State police
officer leaving the Shady Oaks restaurant 3 miles N of Hopkinsville
in a car to respond to the call heard several meteor-like objects streaking
over him sounding like artillery shells, and was able to see 2 in a series looking like
meteors from the SW [or actually about S, from about 190° azimuth, headed
towards Kelly from the direction of Fort Campbell and the TOP SECRET Armed
Forces Special Weapons Project Site C, Clarksville Base, 36.665° N, 87.487° W,
National Stockpile Site for nuclear weapons storage apparently recently including
multi-megaton yield H bombs]. City, county, state and military police and
reporters drove out to the Sutton farm to investigate from around 11:30 p.m. to
2 a.m. UFO
entities returned at about 2:30 a.m. and were again shot at without effect,
finally disappearing at about 4:45 a.m. (Davis-Bloecher 1978; Hynek UFO Rpt pp.
