Northland MUFON Presents: Geraldine Sutton Stith "The Kelly Hopkinsville "Little Green Men" at the November 2024 Public Meeting. Held in Grand Rapids, MN, Fargo, ND and Online Simultaneously.
On Saturday, November 23rd, Geraldine Sutton-Stith captivated a packed room with her family’s extraordinary tale of the Kentucky Goblins. What began as a gathering for camaraderie and story-sharing quickly became the perfect setting for a remarkable family legacy—a story that’s full of mystery and terror.
Geraldine, a warm and gracious southern lady, stands as the voice of a story so chilling it’s hard to reconcile with her gentle demeanor. In 1955, her grandparents, father, uncles, and aunts were thrust into an unimaginable nightmare when bizarre creatures began appearing around their Kentucky farmhouse—peering in the windows, hanging from the trees, and scrambling across the roof. Fearing for their lives, the family armed themselves with rifles and shotguns, firing shots into the night as the creatures lingered. But the horror wasn’t over. Despite taking hits from buckshot that sounded like “BBs hitting a tin bucket,” the creatures didn’t retreat. There was a strange aura around them, almost like a “force field” that made them seem impervious to the family’s attempts to protect themselves.
Geraldine’s grandmother, a devout woman, made it clear there was no moonshine involved in these events, refuting rumors that might have explained the terror away. When the chaos subsided, the family fled to the nearest town, Hopkinsville, to report what had happened. The local sheriff contacted the military, who came to investigate and found undeniable signs of a battle—spent shotgun shells, bullet casings, and bullet-riddled walls and windows. Despite the military’s intervention, the creatures returned again that night, only to vanish with the rising sun.
But the mystery didn’t end there. A large, 34-foot-wide circle appeared in the woods behind the house where something had apparently landed, and to this day, nothing grows in that patch of earth. A few days later, the sheriff reported seeing a large craft in the sky, adding further intrigue to the already unsettling events. Yet, once the story leaked, the family’s property became a spectacle—crowds of people, including police and reporters, descended on the Sutton homestead, hoping for a glimpse of the creatures. But the Goblins were long gone, and the family was left to endure ridicule and invasion of privacy. Strangers even stole souvenirs from the property, furthering the family’s trauma.
For decades, the Sutton family refused to speak about the incident, but Geraldine bravely broke the silence to share their story with us. We’re incredibly grateful for her courage in preserving this remarkable part of history, and we’re honored to hear it firsthand.
