The Darkest Day: Eclipse to leave KY in the dark, sparks fears of alien encounters
WAVE3 NEWS ^ | February 20th 2017

The date August 21 may ring a bell for some, especially for Hopkinsville. While covering the eclipse story I uncovered an interesting twist that not only raised my eyebrows, but even the ones of famed movie director Steven Spielberg.

It seemed like a horror story for one Kentucky family, the Sutton family. All 11 of them gathered in their house on August 21, 1955.

It was just after sunset less than a quarter of a mile down this road in Kelly Kentucky where Mr. Sutton went out to the well. Shortly after that a night of terror began for the family.

Sutton said he witnessed a large object in the sky and ran into the house and alerted his family.

"Nobody would believe him--but they believed him later on because it wasn't very long after that--little things started peeking in the windows at them. Like they were trying to get in," explained Geraldine Stith.

The little things were later described as three foot beings with big glowing eyes, huge ears and long arms down to the ground. The family grabbed some guns and started shooting.

The incident lead to inspiration for Hollywood Director Steven Spielberg who has noted the Kelly incident helped him creating creatures like E.T. and Gremlins.

But now the date shares the same as the approaching eclipse, leaving many spooked.

Google the great monkey hoax of 1954. Wikipedia.

I've read about this alien encounter before. It sort of fits right in with this song:

This is right up there with pronouncements of disaster from 2K computer programming faults. Turns out to be a vast amount of hype about nothing at all.

A fleeting moment of shadow, perhaps near-total darkness, then re-emerging light. All explicable by examination of known celestial mechanics.

All else is sheer superstition.

Illegal aliens pose a bigger threat.

Hopkinsville, Kentucky is now known as Eclipseville.

The city of 32,000 will be one of the many areas you’ll be able to fully see the total solar eclipse.

More than 100,000 people are expected to roll into town on Monday. The mayor says his town has been planning for this occasion since 2007.

Any Freepers live in the area?

They mistakenly took the alien encounter concerns to mean from outer space I guess.

The Mayans didn’t predict this one because they quit 4 1/2 years too soon.

I dunno about the rest of y’all but in Centex we have eclipses every night. We utilize these 10-12hr periods to sleep during.

A huge number of people put a great deal of effort into fixing Y2K-related bugs. Those fixes prevented Y2K from being much worse than it otherwise would have been. While it clearly wouldn’t have been the cataclysm some people predicted, the effects were real and much code needed to be reworked.

My power company told me that without fixes, their 12 power plants would shut at midnight.

While that’s possible, anticipating the problems and fixing them before “doomsday” arrived was the key to making Y2K the non-event that it was turned into. Everybody remembers the hype; few acknowledge the work that was done to keep the hype from actually happening.
