They Came from Outer Space!

Since very early times man has periodically reported contact with beings from other worlds. Some perceived these mysterious visitors as fairies or giants and in some cases even hailed them as gods, going so far as to integrate them into their religious belief systems. But in 1955 when the Sutton-Lankford family from Kelly, Ky., allegedly encountered alien visitors who arrived in a mysterious craft and approached their farmhouse in the middle of the night, they did what country people do when they find themselves in such situations. They started shooting! But to the dismay of the defenders the bullets had no effect on the invaders, prompting the family to abandon the premises and seek the help of local law enforcement. It was said of this family by police that, “These aren’t the kind of people who normally run to the police for help.”

It’s one of the most famous and well-researched cases of an alleged alien encounter in history. Over the years hundreds of journalists and investigators from around the world have examined the details of the incident, which continues to inspire curiosity almost 60 years later. In fact, Steven Spielberg was inspired by the story, which is said to have influenced the creation of the much less disturbing tale from the film E.T.

La Palabra (1)A number of sources exist that document the incident. One that I recommend is a recent book authored by my friend and journalist Rob Dollar and fellow newsman Tim Ghianni. The book is called Monkeys Don’t Wear Silver Suits and it accomplishes something unique. It’s a highly informative and open-minded treatment of a topic with potentially monumental and frightening implications and mixes it with enough humor and a healthy skepticism to make it a balanced read. One striking detail the authors also mention in the book is that the incident at Kelly wasn’t the only encounter with strange creatures reported in the area. Others also encountered strange creatures that summer and even some in more recent years.

So what really transpired that fateful evening in 1955? It’s hard to say. Theories about escaped monkeys have been offered. Some suggest the whole family was hallucinating. Unfortunately most of the witnesses are now deceased. But accounts provided by the witnesses (eight adults and three children) never changed and were consistent over the years, a remarkable aspect since most hoaxes debunk themselves over time with conflicting stories. Two additional facts stand out in this case according to investigators. Firstly, the witnesses were sober on that evening and did not seem under the influence. Secondly, whatever they encountered that night left them severely frightened and traumatized for the rest of their lives. Former Hopkinsville Police Chief Russell Greenwell was recorded as saying: “Something scared these people. Something beyond reason—nothing ordinary.”

Having researched this case and visited the location where the incident was reported, I agree with the late Isabel Doris in her assessment of the case.

Were it not for this universal determination to disbelieve a story of this nature, it is probable that the “explanations” we have examined would never have been given serious consideration.

In other words, while it’s not the explanation that we wish to believe, an actual alien visitation is more believable than the other explanations offered. Does this prove anything? Nope. But as always, I will keep exploring.

La Palabra (2)

Vinieron del espacio!
Desde tiempos remotos el hombre ha informado periódicamente contacto con seres de otros mundos. Algunos consideran estos misteriosos visitantes como hadas o gigantes y en algunos casos incluso haled ellos como los dioses, va tan lejos como para integrarlos en sus sistemas de creencias religiosas. Pero en 1955, cuando la familia de Sutton-Lankford de Kelly Kentucky supuestamente descubrió que los visitantes extraterrestres que llegaron a una misteriosa nave y se aproximaron a sus casa en el medio de la noche, hicieron lo que hacen cualquier campesino cuando se encuentran en tales situaciones. ¡Comenzaron a disparar! Pero a la consternación de los defensores las balas no tenían efecto en los invasores, incitando a la familia a abandonar el local y buscar la ayuda de la policía. Fue dicho de esta familia por el jefe de la policía que “no es el tipo de la gente que normalmente llaman a la policía para la ayuda.”

Es uno de los más famosos y bien documentados casos de un presunto encuentro extraterrestre en la historia. Durante los años cientos de periodistas e investigadores de todo el mundo han examinado los detalles del incidente que continúa inspirando curiosidad casi 60 años después. De hecho Steven Spielberg se inspiró en la historia y se dice que ha influido en la creación de la historia de la película E.T. aunque E.T. no era tan horrible como los creaturas de aquel noche.

Varias fuentes existen que se tratan de documentar el incidente. Uno que recomiendo es un libro reciente escrito por mi amigo un periodista que se llama Rob Dollar y otro periodista Tim Ghianni. El libro se llama Monkey’s Don’t Wear Silver Suits y logra algo único. Es un tratamiento muy informativo y de mente abierta de un tema con implicaciones potencialmente monumentales y espantosas y lo mezcla con bastante humor y un escepticismo sano que lo hacen unlibro equilibrado. Un detalle asombroso que los autores también mencionan en el libro es que el incidente en Kelly no era el único encuentro con criaturas extrañas hizo un informe en el área. Los otros también encontraron a criaturas extrañas ese verano de 1955 y hasta los años más recientes había avistamientos semejantes.

¿Así pues, qué realmente transpiró esa tarde profética en 1955? Es difícil decir. Algunos teorizaron que las criaturas eran monos escapados. Unos sugieren que toda la familia tenía alucinaciones. Lamentablemente la mayor parte de los testigos son ahora el difunto. Pero las cuentas proporcionadas por los testigos (8 adultos y 3 niños) nunca cambiaron y eran constante durante los años, un aspecto notable ya que la mayor parte de mentiras se desacreditan con el tiempo con historias contrarias.
Dos hechos adicionales destacan en este caso según los investigadores. En primer lugar, los testigos estaban sobrios en esa noche y no bajo la influencia. En segundo lugar, lo que se encontraron con que la noche les dejó severamente asustados y traumatizados por el resto de sus vidas. Ex jefe de policía de Hopkinsville Russell Greenwell dijo: “espantados a estas personas. Algo más allá de la razón — nada ordinario.”

Haber investigado el caso y visitó el lugar donde el incidente fue reportado yo estoy de acuerdo con el investigadora Isabel Doris en su evaluación final del caso.

“Si fuera no por esta determinación universal a descreer de la historia de esta naturaleza, es probable que las explicaciones hemos examinado nunca hubiera sido dado seria consideración”.

En otras palabras, si bien no es la explicación que queremos creer, una visita extraterrestre real es más creíble que las otras explicaciones ofrecidas. ¿es prueba suficiente? Claro que no. Pero como siempre, se seguimos explorando.

    One thing I did not mention in the article was another possible theory I have. It’s possible that entire affair was the product of a psychological experiment using a drug like LSD since we know that rogue operatives and scientists within the intelligence and defense-academic complex did indeed use LSD on unsuspecting citizens during this period. This may one day emerge to be the best alternative explanation to the theory of visitation from non-human entities. Both are equally disturbing possibilities in my opinion.
