The Kelly–Hopkinsville goblins
On the night of 21 August 1955 the Sutton family, from a farm outside Kelly, Kentucky, ran into the police station at Hopkinsville and said they had spent hours shooting at short creatures with large ears and glowing eyes that came up to the windows and did not fall when hit. Police went out to the farm, found shot-out windows and screens, and no trace of the creatures. There were eleven witnesses including children, there was no drink in the house, and the family had nothing to gain — they turned down money for interviews. The case remains one of the most argued-over in American ufology.
Allagash and the Four Men on the Lake
In August 1976 four men — two artist brothers and two friends — were night fishing from a boat on a lake in the north Maine woods when, by their account, a bright sphere over the water put a beam on them. After that there was a gap: the campfire they had built before going out had burned to ash. Twelve years later all four went under hypnosis separately and described an examination inside a craft. One of the brothers drew what he had seen, and the drawings became the well-known part of the story. It is one of very few abduction cases with several witnesses at once, and simultaneously the sceptics' main exhibit: hypnosis recovers suggested images as readily as memories.
