According to the Cryptid Wiki, "The Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter, also known as the Hopkinsville Goblins Case, and to a lesser extent the Kelly Green Men Case, is the name given to a series of connected incidents of alleged close encounters with presumably extraterrestrial beings."

Yes, like the Blink-182 song suggests, Aliens Exist. Former President Barack Obama dropped quite the phrase recently on the Brian Tyler Cohen podcast. ""They're real but I haven't seen them," He continues, "They're not being kept in Area 51. There's no underground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States. President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, "I don't know if they're real or not," and said of Obama, "I may get him out of trouble by declassifying." So, now here we are...awaiting the release of proof of alien life from the government! Joining us this week is Chuck Pullen, and Luke Miiller, who come on and discuss their feelings on the matter as well.
