Google Books+14Wikipedia+14KY for KY Store+14Number of witnesses: Five adults and seven children reported being besieged by small alien creatures while firing guns for nearly four hours. It's Something+11Wikipedia+11Google Books+11Creature descriptions: The press (e.g., Kentucky New Era) claimed there were “12 to 15” goblins. Described as 2–4 feet tall, with glowing yellow eyes, claw-like hands, pointed ears, and spindly legs. Wikipedia+7Wikipedia+7It's Something+7Law enforcement response: Four city police, five state troopers, three deputy sheriffs, and four military police from Fort Campbell arrived—but only found broken windows, bullet holes, and spent shells. No bodies or definitive physical evidence. Country Living+7Wikipedia+7Google Books+7Aftermath: The families fled that night after the creatures returned around 3:30 AM. KY for KY Store+6Wikipedia+6Google Books+6Skeptical explanations: Proposals include mistaken identity involving great horned owls or meteors, or misperception under stress.
