[edit] Concerning the encounter

I know this will come off as sounding as vicious sarcasm, but I wonder if alcohol and drugs had anything to do with it at all. www.geocities.com/berniethomas68 16:27, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

These are extremely religious people and they are not "religious nuts" either. This sounds like the Robertson Panel protocol, related protocol used to insult, ridicule them. I've had contacts in the military and in law enforcement.Martial Law 21:47, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I saw a documentary on the case a few years ago, and apparently some of the local police felt that "moonshine" had been involved. However, others disputed this, pointing out that the Sutton family were not known as drinkers, and the police who investigated that night found no alcohol in or around the farmhouse.

[edit] Wikipedia article vs. Contemporaneous Newspaper Article

I have the original newspaper article from the August 25, 1955 Louisville Courier Journal (I'm from Hopkinsville). It contains the details obtained by the Courier Journal from the eywitnesses and local police within a day or two of the incident. I feel that it is the definitive source for information on this subject. I recently added the drawings of the creatures that appeared in the newspaper article. My problem is that the Wikipedia article contains several facts that are at variance with the Courier Journal's reporting. I am not a frequent contributor to Wikipedia and am not sure what to do about these inaccuracies. Anyone?

• Change the erroneous details, give a citation for your corrected details. That should prevent them from being changed back later. --208.204.155.241 17:23, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

This picture does not have a description and I don't think it reflects what we know about this encounter. Maybe the pic should be removed and a better one found. Mstuomel 09:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Explanations

I am suprised this wiki article does not include the "Cansler Cat Theory" printed in the local Kentucky New Era in 2003. The orignal article is only searchable in the archives for subscribers, but a transcript exists at http://ufoevidence.conforums.com/index.cgi?board=STRANGE&action=display&num=1058558014 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.145.31.10 (talk) 19:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC).
