Dead of Night: The Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter
For Spotify, I actually prefer the straightforward title. People searching specifically for the case are more likely to recognize it immediately.
Spotify Description
Something was outside the farmhouse. But more than 70 years later, no one can definitively say what it was.
On August 21, 1955, a group of people gathered at a rural Kentucky farmhouse when the night took a bizarre turn.
After Billy Ray Taylor reported seeing a strange light streak across the sky, the witnesses claimed small, glowing-eyed figures began appearing around the property.
What followed was hours of fear, gunfire and an eventual trip to the police station for help.
The encounter would become one of America’s most famous UFO stories—the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter.
But there’s another side to the story.
Could a meteor explain the light in the sky? Could great horned owls explain the strange figures? Was fear responsible for what the witnesses believed they saw?
Or did something unexplained really visit that Kentucky farmhouse?
In this episode of Dead of Night, we’re going through the story, the investigation and the theories surrounding one very strange night in 1955.
Listen to the story. Consider the evidence. And decide what you believe.
