Softcore History

The recent release of the UFO Files left out arguably the most exciting human vs. extraterrestrial encounter in American history: when a group of backwoods Kentucky rednecks spent an August night in 1955 fighting off a dozen goblin-like aliens with a shotgun and a rifle from inside their humble farmhouse. This is the story of The Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter aka the Hopkinsville Goblins.

The Assyrian queen Semiramis is one of the most notorious rulers in ancient history. Not just because she was a woman ruling a violent, male-dominated society. And not because she competently ruled the massive empire for years. Mostly, it turns out, because there were some WILD stories about her, um, dating life.
