The term "little green men" came from a reported alien encounter in 1955 in what Kentucky city?
The Kelly-Hopkinsville encounter in Hopkinsville, KY. One evening, a family of 5 adults and 7 children went to the Hopkinsville PD, reporting their home had been attacked by what later became described as "little green men." Police went to the home and found no aliens, but it had been completely riddled by bullet holes from the family shooting from the inside at the "aliens" outside. The next day, neighbors reported the family had abandoned the home in the middle of the night, because the "aliens had returned"...and they never came back. This was one of the most infamous alien encounters in pop culture history and spawned the term "little green men" and the drawing of a little green figure with giant head and pointy eyes.
