Ten Hours of Hell
The Kelly KY “Little Green Men”

In 1955, the Elmer Sutton family was terror-stricken when an alleged UFO landed on their farm in Kelly Kentucky and several little alien beings attempted to breach their home. The family fought them off with rifles and shotguns for several hours before driving to Hopkinsville and seeking help from the Police Department. This book goes into great detail of that encounter as well as the press publicity and ridicule that followed.
This encounter is also known as the Hopkinsville Goblins
