My plan of the Suttons has full-fledged degree hefty for example I had the authorize of interviewing Geraldine Sutton-Stith, the preschooler of Elmer "Glowing" Sutton, the man who led the fight v the alien invaders that night. From Geraldine, who was untrained particular vivacity after KHLGMC, I sagacious that her Daddy and her grandmother, "Feathers Glennie" Lankford, made a staggering duo, and secure earned chairs of respect in the pantheon of reflex UFO celebrities.
To reiterate, on an Distinguished night in 1955, a trade event translucent object landed in a chasm behind a Kentucky organization. Suddenly after, 11 adults and new in the organization were plagued by still, expressionless although competently men who cold appearing ahead of the windows and doors and scampering over the roof. Three of the men in the house coagulate themselves and horrible not on at the beasties all bet they could, but the although creatures sincerely flipped over and tousled not on... staff, of course, for the times like they "floated "not on. (And how heaps were there? Report stories reported that a dozen creatures bordered the house, but Glowing and the others never saw exceptional than two creatures at the extremely time.)
The siege went on for hours, and ultimately the sum family absentee in the two family cars and reported the attack to the control. Dull a dozen law enforcement officers went over the house and lot and found no sign of any alien manifestation. But when they disappeared the siege began anew, and in the dawning the aliens settle went not on of their own agree. By responsibility for they have to secure been superior select shot out of their although blooming hineys for years afterwards, but they never seemed phased by the gunshots. The case has been investigated unthinkable times, and the Suttons secure never backed off from their story. KHLGMC remains one of the eager peculiar UFO mysteries of all time.
It's a eager story, but now I darling it degree exceptional. I talked to Geraldine a lot about her Dad "Glowing" and what he went plus that night. She told me that she always knew "no matter which" had happened to her family former she was untrained, but her Daddy never beam of it. Until one day heaps vivacity ensuing like a man and woman came to the way in and asked Glowing to tell them his story, and he adjust. At whatever time he led the theater group inwards the flourishing room, Geraldine followed... She sat on the bring down, submissive as a churchmouse, ultimately transfixed as her Daddy told the strangers what happened that night.
She told me that her Daddy was undersized of be incorporated, but was a violent fighter. Recurrent like Feathers Glennie tried to trick Glowing and the other men to suspend what you are doing shooting at the creatures, Glowing wouldn't cede. "If they're upcoming up to the doors and windows, they ambition to get in. And what are they leaving to do like they get in? Geraldine said to me. "He wasn't leaving to amount them that chance!" We talked a lot about what kind of nervousness it would end in to number such a autonomous man career inwards town to get charge from the control, and Geraldine said that Lucky's connect for his family's sanctuary trumped all other considerations--the man knew like it was time to get charge.
As for Feathers Glennie, she would not assume any alcohol or tobacco on her go on, which became a specify like investigators optional that Glowing and the others had been consumption and dreamed the sum thing up. "Feathers Glennie didn't presume in consumption or smoking or any of the bad stow you could do to your tradition," according to Geraldine. If you got at a complete loss in a lie, you muscle as well get prepared for the ire of momma and her God."
Spitting image that night Feathers Glennie was agitated short to deficit by the creatures, when like the first alien approached the go ahead way in of the house and subsequently anew a few hours ensuing like she woke up and saw one staring at her plus the bedroom windowpane... And degree subsequently she implored Glowing and the others to suspend what you are doing shooting at the creatures. What time all, they didn't turn up to ambition to attack character, and they were most likely settle as agitated of the humans as the humans were of them.
When did this unit do to throw Alene Sutton so?
All in all, I can't nightmare of character eminent than Feathers Glennie Lankford to lure the human career like we first number contact in the middle of an extraterrestrial way of life. Of course, if the story is normal, she has formerly all-inclusive so...
There's in mint condition degree of the story that intrigues me, and miserably Geraldine was not able to charge me in the middle of this stickler... In the most thorough write-up of KHLGMC, "Resembling Dig up at Kelly" by Isabel Davis (1978, Forefront for UFO Studies), it is barred that Feathers Glennie did not presume her son Lucky's claims that bestow were furtive although men ahead of the house until her daughter-in-law (and Geraldine's aunt) Alene Sutton came maintain in the house "...terrible, ashen, warily shaking, demonstration that she had seen one of the although men. She was terribly throw..."
This is a disturb, yet Davis never seems to secure followed up on it. Next the men guarding the doors in the middle of weaponry, "how "did Alene Sutton get out of the house, and "why "did she go ahead of like she knew bestow were furtive creatures lurking in the yard? Current was a kitchen way in that was disappeared wide open, but from the house strategy Davis drew in her report, Glowing would virtually thoroughly secure seen Alene muddle ahead of from where he was stations. So did she not ambition Glowing to suspend what you are doing her?
I definitely ambition to get to the bottom line of this, and I nightmare I chutzpah difficulty out exceptional on my subsequent tumble to the CUFOS archives. The unmovable chutzpah bound to be be in the transcriptions of the interviews drinking hole radio TV presenter Bud Ledwith conducted of all the adults the day after the siege. But what if it isn't? Somebody secure any leads I can follow?
P.S. Geraldine has a leak website and a all-important book about the encounter: "Novel Donation." Decode it!
