D612(RS): One of the alien creatures seen during the Kelly-Hopkinsville encounter on 21 August 1955. There were many witnesses to the 3-foot oblins?with pointed ears which appeared around a farmhouse near the towns of Kelly and Hopkinsville in Kentucky. The creatures, which appeared to float, terrorised the family over one night, disappearing with the dawn. There were also sightings of strange lights in the sky.
