Kelly Hopkinsville Encounter
Supposedly in 1955 some aliens attacked a home in the Hopkinsville area.
it is actually a very well documented case, and the witnesses seemed to stick to their story.
There are numerous web sites about the event (including a thorough wikipedia entry) so I won't go in to it here.
I will say that the previously mentioned Pennyroyal Area Museum has a nice display about the encounter, which happened just a few miles away.
The farm where the attack happened is on private property, but it is near by.
There is a festival celebrating the event too!
Here is a link:
