The Lore
On August 21, 1955, the Sutton family in Kelly, Kentucky reported being terrorized by small silver creatures with oversized heads, pointed ears, and glowing eyes. The beings allegedly floated, were impervious to gunfire, and scratched at the roof. The family fled to the police. This case is widely considered one of the most credible close encounter reports in history.
