ET Was Originally About Alleged Alien Attack

08.12.11

The Kentucky encounter never made it to the silver screen because Spielberg was able to talk Harrison Ford’s girlfriend at the time, Melissa Mathison, into rewriting the screenplay, producing the loveable character we know today. The creatures that the Sutton and Taylor families claim attacked them the night of August 21, 1955 near Hopkinsville, Kentucky, were not so loveable.

It all started during a visit by the Taylor family to the Sutton’s farm. There was no running water, so Billy Ray Taylor went out to fill a bucket at the well around 7 pm. While outside he says he saw a rainbow colored disk-like UFO land in the forest. When he reported this to the rest of the group inside, no one believed him.

Taylor convinced one of the others to help him investigate, so the two men grabbed their guns and headed outside. It didn’t take long before they saw a creature with long skinny arms, just over three feet tall, with large pointed ears, large claws and wearing a silver jumpsuit. It began walking towards them with its arms in the air. Scared for their lives, the two men fired on the creature. However, their bullets sounded as though they were hitting metal and had little effect. They saw more of the creatures on their roof, in the trees, and in the forest. When hit with the bullets, the monsters would just roll up into a ball and zoom away.
