I think these hillbillies made this whole thing up so they could gain some publicity. Maybe then they could make some money. Probably they heard about UFO sightings in 1950 and decided to make this whole sh**t up. I don't believe aliens have been on Earth because if they had, they wouldn't just stay flying around in the air for freaking years. It would be about time they landed and showed themselves to the MASSES. Anyhow, this story seems MORE than made up.

It's fun enough hearing peoples' stories about what they THINK they've seen, but this whole thing would have benefitted from more than one alien encounter story. The acting was silly, the writing was atrocious, and the explanation is fairly simple (barn owls and credulous hicks).The "experts" interviewed are embarassing, and the justifications for the story are flimsy: "The matriarch is a good Christian movie, wholly incapable of lying, being mistaken, or drinking alcohol." Also incapable of acting, but seriously, this is not compelling evidence.

This happened to people in 1947. So they lived in the country- so what. That does not make them stupid, jumpy or cowards of any kind. I noticed a lot of people focused on the clothing and noticed "make up" on women in black and white photos- that's how those pictures looked.I do believe something happened that night- nothing scares people that badly to have them fire so many high-powered weapons at "nothing." Monkeys? Please. Bullets and shotgun pellets don't bounce off animals. In 1947, crime investigation was still very basic, and evidence collecting for an "unknown" incident like this. The police simply weren't trained to know what they were looking for, what to collect or what to do with it. The technology to test it didn't exist, either. Think about it- if you were a cop investigating something like this, what would you do if you found out it was real? How about if your bullets bounced off with no effect? Over and over, these honest, God-fearing people who were sober were terrified out of their wits. This was no prank. They did see something. Assuming someone from any particular state is stupid is immature and uncivilized.

This video is hilarious and not too bad of a filler for the times when you're waiting for your pot pie to finish in the oven
