UFO abduction show on Fox a couple years back

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Ok, Fox ran a 1 hour show a couple years ago about a family just minding their own business one night then all of a sudden, BOOM, aliens are seen around the area then overtake the house.

 

They Blair Witched it saying they "found the footage" and whatnot. It was obviously fake, but still pretty entertaining. A little cheesey on the acting, but spooky.

 

But the thing is that no one else I know has see it. Anyone remember the show?

[Guest Jack Tunney]

I remember it,it was called "Incident At Lake County" or something.Yeah,it was really fake looking,especially when the credits said:

 

Alien #1........whoever

Alien #2..........whoever.

 

and so on.

I saw it on UPN, and I know dreamer's seen it too, because we discussed it before in another thread. Yes, the ending scared me to death. Kept me up for a week.

 

What was even scarier was UPN didn't play the credits, and I didn't find out until much much later it was faked footage.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

I just checked IMDB.com for it, and Emmanuelle Chriqui was in it...she was the hot/sluttyish chick from 100 Girls.

 

I'd kinda like to see it again, it's fake as hell...but entertaining

[Guest Eagan469]

Was that the one where the whole thing seemed like an entirely real newscast where aliens were taking over the world?

 

That scared the SHIT out of me when I was a kid.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

No...it's like Thanksgiving dinner at a family's house, and the teenage son is camcording everything. So he's almost the director.

 

Then they hear something outside, so the kid, dad, and a brother go to see what it is. They walk to the neighbors yard and see some weird shit with these little guys beaming a red laser on cattle...then it spots them and they run back to the house.

 

And the rest of the night they're fucked with, paranormal and whatnot. And the show kind of ends pretty scarey.

 

It's worth a view...althought probably wasn't as good as it was when I first saw it and knew nothing about it.

That special was spooky as shit.

 

True, in retrospect certain parts of it were fake as hell, but, much like Blair Witch, it was easy to get caught up in the atmosphere of the show, to put yourself in the place of the family.

 

Plus it had some freak-out moments.

 

The ending was one of them, of course.

 

But the cows? That one freaked me the most. The kid with the camera filmed them dissecting the cow with the laser.....then for some reason, he turned away, focusing the camera on one of the two guys with him for just a second. And when he turned the camera back to the aliens, they were looking RIGHT AT THEM.

 

I remember when I saw that the first time, I was like, OH SHIT.

[Guest SP-1]

I must see this. Is it online anywhere?

[Guest tank_abbott]

I have a copy of it...

I remember something like that Eagan back a LOOONG (like 20 years) time ago. Scared the crap out of me as a kid. It was a fake newscast that was allegedly in real time. I missed the beginning but it went something like:

 

a) Unidentified object spotted in space,

 

b) Something happens and we blow it up

 

c) Turns out it was an emissary or something, and they take it as an act of war.

 

d) They send some kind of GIANT (like Armageddon sized) asteroid to destroy the Earth.

 

e) We blow it up (complete with radar confirmation) and everyone celebrates in the news room.

 

f) Then on the radar a bunch of new blips show up and everything goes quiet. They get close and closer and all you hear is the anchor say, "Oh my God...." then the screen goes black.

 

Again, I was just a kid but it scared the everloving shit outta me that night.

back when Independence Day came out, Fox aired this fake newscast that was basically like Blairwitching the arrival/destruction events in the film only they played it up like it was real. And I was a lil' supergeek back then so I taped it.

 

Well I was babysitting my nieces and nephew and decided to have some fun. I played the tape and had them pretty scared, I think. IIRC, they wound up locked in a bathroom or something.

 

EDIT: Do you have it on your computer, Tank?

[Guest evenflowDDT]

I'm sure if I saw it again it'd be lame, but it's one of those things where like the memory itself is so frightening that I don't want to see it again because I don't want to risk being that scared again. Like E.T....

No Just on a VHS Tape Upstairs in my chambers

 

 

I believe this was inspired by an actual case of Aleins Attacking a farm in the 60's

 

Errrrrr...actual if you believe in Aleins and whatnot that is...

Yeah,the "Hopkinsville Goblins" incident.I'm a dork so I read about this stuff.But it's a cool story even if you dont beleive in aliens.

[Guest evenflowDDT]

What was the incident it's based on? I didn't think they had home movies or were too aware of cattle mutilation back in the '60s.

[Guest tank_abbott]

One of the oddest stories in UFOlogy is the Kelly-Hopkinsville Case, which took place on August 21 - 22, 1955.

 

Kelly is a small town, and Hopkinsville a small city, both located in rural Christian County in southwestern Kentucky. "Lucky" Sutton's family farm was located nearer to Kelly, but the nearest police were in Hopkinsville. Thus, this case acquired the name Kelly-Hopkinsville.

 

At around 7.00 P.M. on August 21, a visiting Pennsylvania man named Billy Ray Taylor went out to fetch some water from the Sutton family well. While he was at the well, he saw a large shining object land in a gully about a city block away. He went back inside and told the others, but they laughed and didn't believe him.

 

A short time later the family dog began barking wildly outside, so Carl "Lucky" Sutton and Billy Ray grabbed their guns and went out to investigate. They had walked a few yards from the front door when they saw a small 3-to-4 foot creature walking towards them with its hands up, as if surrendering. They later described the creature as having large eyes, a long thin mouth, large ears, thin short legs, and hands ending in claws.

 

In a rural area in the 1950s, folks were likely to shoot first and ask questions later if they felt threatened. Even though the creature seemed to be peaceful, Billy Ray fired a shot at it with his .22, and Lucky blasted away with his shotgun. They couldn't possibly have missed the creature at that range, but it just did a quick back flip and ran quickly into the woods, apparently unharmed.

 

Billy Ray and Lucky returned to the house, but before they could tell the others what had happened, the creature, or another one like it, appeared in front of a window. They shot at him through the screen, leaving a hole that investigators noticed later. When the men went outside to see if they had killed the creature, they found nothing. As they looked, one of the creatures, from the roof of the house, reached down to touch one of the men's hair. They shot at it, but it just floated to the ground and then ran off into the woods.

 

They went back inside and soon the house was under siege by a group of the creatures. The seven adults and four children in the house at the time were terrified as creature after creature appeared at windows around the house, seemingly taunting them. The men's guns were totally ineffective against the creatures.

 

After about three hours of this, the family decided to make a run for it. They piled into two vehicles and drove down to the local police station to report the event, arriving at about 11:00 P.M.. When police officers were finally persuaded to go to the farm and investigate, they could find no evidence of the strange events except for gunshot holes in the windows and walls.

 

According to reports, Sheriff Russell Greenwell was among the twenty-five or so law enforcement officers investigating the scene and the family who had told this wild tale. By all accounts, the witnesses were determined to be sane, not drinking, and in such a state of terror that no one who talked to them doubted that they had seen something unusual. Neighbors reported hearing the shooting, and one person had seen "lights in the sky" earlier that evening.

 

Shortly after the police left, at about 2:15 A.M., the creatures returned. As before, they began staring into windows, curious but not hostile. Again the men responded with gunfire, and again it had no effect. This ordeal continued until a half an hour before sunrise. On the morning of the 22nd, the police, along with the Air Force, investigated but again found nothing. Billy Ray and Lucky weren't there, having driven to Evansville, Indiana to take care of some sort of business. The Hopkinsville newspaper, The Kentucky New Era, carried the story on 8/22/55.

 

Many people believe this case to be a complete hoax. If it was then it has to be one of the biggest and most useless hoaxes in ufology to date. The family made no money from the incident and did not want any publicity at the time. They had to make extensive repairs to the house which cost them a considerable sum of money for that year. In the course of shooting at the creatures, Billy Ray and Lucky had shot up the house pretty well. All seven adults told the same story with no contradictory evidence in their statements. Sketches of the creatures based on descriptions from different witnesses matched closely. Their stories were unwavering a year later when a thorough investigation of the case was conducted by Isabel Davis.

 

No evidence of a hoax has ever been revealed in this case, and the Suttons still insisted that it was true years later. Now, over forty years later, it's likely that many, if not all, of the Suttons who were adults at the time have gone to their graves without changing their story.

 

Noted astronomer and UFOlogist J. Allen Hynek took the story seriously because he discussed the case with two of the principal investigators of the story: Bud Ledwith, an engineer at a radio station in Hopkinsville and a personal acquaintance of Hynek's, and Isabel Davis, an investigator from New York City.

That's pretty strange. Despite my not neccessarily believing in aliens in that manner, I love reading up on stuff like that. Reports about the MiB are always a fun read, heh.

 

I'd have tried to poison the little bastards.
