Ryinrea Posted February 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) This is a strange tale involving a family back in 1955 were they had been attacked by unknown 3-5 feet tall creatures were they had seen a bright flash of light go across the sky before hand. During the time after they saw the light they had a terrifying encounter which apparently led too a shoot out with these creatures when they kept on coming back to their small home in Hopkinsville. This incident apparently caused them to go in too debt to repair their home and apparently a theory was these creatures were owls.

dr no Posted February 21, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I loved this story when I was a young man thoroughly convinced that aliens were visiting us back in the late 70s/early 80s,I think its because its like a 50s sci fi film brought to life.I reckon they got freaked out by something,possibly owls and then started blasting away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetpumper Posted February 21, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 21, 2014 One explanation I've heard is they were drunk and shooting at owls. Or sexual abuse. Possibly mass hallucination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scowl Posted February 21, 2014 #10 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I loved this story when I was a young man thoroughly convinced that aliens were visiting us back in the late 70s/early 80s,I think its because its like a 50s sci fi film brought to life.I reckon they got freaked out by something,possibly owls and then started blasting away. This was by far my favorite UFO story back in the 70's. Unfortunately their description of the "aliens" is too close to owls: Big orange eyes just like owls. "Large floppy ears" are fluttering wings. "Claws held up under their heads" are exactly where owl talons are. One creature floated/flew down from the roof just like an owl. The lower bodies were barely visible because owls don't have them. Owls are creepy when you don't expect them or are drunk. Add in that they never got a good look at them. The area around the house was dark. They saw some of the "aliens" only through windows. Shooting their guns at things through window glass showed that they were acting irrationally. They're lucky someone didn't get injured. The case makes no sense. Why would aliens go out of their way to play pranks on a bunch of drunk hillbillies with guns? Why did the aliens run and hide when the sheriff showed up, then return after he left? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree but why would they be three to five feet owl? But they were apparently could have been a prank that went wrong lol Edited February 21, 2014 by Ryinrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawken Posted February 21, 2014 #14 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Let me tell a story 'bout a man named Jed, The poor mountaineer that barely kept his family fed, Then one day he was shootin' at some food, The aliens fell in the outhouse stool.

But they were apparently could have been a prank that went wrong lol Because when owls are angry at you, they'll fly low at your body. It was so dark around the house that the hillbillies couldn't see that the owls were flying and didn't have bodies below their talons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawken Posted February 23, 2014 #20 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Hawkin, The new Moonshine is pretty good and now comes in different favors. I thought the Mixed Drink was invented due to Moonshine. Back in Prohibition days they would cut it with juice because it was so strong and serve it in Speak Easys to patrons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DONTEATUS Posted February 23, 2014 #23 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I wonder just how many of those Moonshiners blow themselfs up each year in the back woods?

Friends of mine go South every Fall for quad riding and they bring back Moonshine, it is pretty pricey runs about $40.00 for a quart jar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
