Project Blue Book Episode: 1955 Hopkinsville, Ky (Near Ft. Campbell) Sighting and Encounter

The Encounter

In the fall of 1955, 50-year-old Glennie Lankford lived in a simple farmhouse about 12km north of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, in the small hamlet of Kelly. She owned a small farm about 400 meters from each of her nearest neighbours, and lived with her son from her first marriage, J.C. Sutton, who ran the farm, and his wife, Alene, as well as her three children from her second marriage: Lonnie, Charlton, and Mary.

They kept a few pigs, a dog, and some farm cats. The family had no radio, phone, or TV, and their only water came from a well in the back yard. On the evening on August 21, 1955, Mrs. Lankford had a number of guests staying at the house: Elmer Sutton, the eldest son from her first marriage, and his wife, Vera, as well as Elmer's friend, Billy Ray Taylor, and his wife, June.

Alene's brother O.P. Baker was also staying the night, for a total of 11 people. Mrs. Lankford allowed no liquor in the house, and no one was drinking. Around 7pm, Billy Ray went out to the well for a drink of water and saw a bright, silvery "saucer"- shaped object gliding silently through the air. It flew 9 -12 meters off the ground, and left behind a trail of multi-coloured exhaust.

The object flew in from the south and stopped over the neighbour's field to the north of the farm. It then descended straight to the ground and appeared to settle into a gully some 90m from the house, though Billy Ray could not see it land through the trees. He ran inside and told the others that he'd seen a flying saucer, but everyone told him it was just a meteor.
