the only reason this took so long to make the bucket list is I just found out about it tonight on one of those Bigfoot/Alien/Paranormal documentaries on amazonprime I am bound to watch...THE LITTLE GREEN MEN FESTIVAL in Kelly, KY!

Earth-bound fun for the whole family! Kelly "Little Green Men" Days festival is all about family fun! Arts & craft booths, good food, and great live music! And where else will you find a 38' flying saucer?

Okay, so why aliens? On the evening of August 21, 1955, five adults and seven children arrived at the Hopkinsville police station claiming that small alien creatures from a spaceship were attacking their Kelly, KY farmhouse and they had been holding them off with gunfire "for nearly four hours". Two of the adults claimed they had been shooting at "twelve to fifteen" short, dark figures who repeatedly popped up at the doorway or peered into the windows. For decades "The Kelly Incident" as it has become known has captured the popular imagination and in ways big and small has changed the world. The community of Kelly, Ky now celebrates the anniversary of the event every August with our very own Kelly Little Green Men Days Festival. Picture
