Solar Eclipse... They're Out There.....
Hey Gang, As everyone knows we are a month away from a solar eclipse on August 21. I live in Evansville Indiana about an hour and a half from Hopkinsville Ky. where the total eclipse is supposed to happen.

But be careful of martians and UFOs!! Now before you think I need to be fitted for a straight jacket I came across an interesting story that our local TV station picked. Apparently there is a small town in Kentucky, Kelly, where a family had a close encounter with aliens during the last lunar eclipse. There are folks that thinks this could happen again.

Here is a link to the story and video:

Special Report: Kentucky "Close Encounter" - Tri-State News, Weather & Sports

Personally, I think there was a lot of 'shine being passed around!!

Solar eclipse, not lunar. There is a difference.

That wasn't a lunar eclipse in Hopkinsville, it was a luny eclipse.
