Being the closest city to the point of Greatest Eclipse, Hopkinsville wasted no time at all in beginning preparations in earnest for Eclipse day! Their preparation efforts are positioning the Hopkinsville area as a prime viewing location – whether you are coming from across the country, or around the world!

They have truly responded to this challenge, and are fully focused on offering EVERYONE the very best of Kentucky hospitality!

We’ve been in close contact with the Hopkinsville Community Preparedness Committee, in full support of the events and activities they are planning. You can visit their page here to keep up to date with the latest breaking information.

Also check out their Facebook page!

We will be posting updated information, including official viewing site information, as this becomes available!

[LITTLE GREEN MEN?]

This is the kind of thing you just can't believe, and we just simply HAD to include it!

On the night of 21 August 1955 (that's right - eclipse day will mark the 62nd anniversary!), the Hopkinsville area played host to one of the most bizzare UFO encounters in all history! So overwhelming was the experience that these folks had, Steven Spielberg himself used the event as one of the inspirations for his blockbuster hit movie, E.T.!

There is nothing more we can say about the facts of the case that aren't already very well documented. But just imagine how cool this will be, to have the official Hopkinsville "Little Green Men" festival play out during the eclipse festivities!

We don't think that this is an event to be missed! So check out their official page... and decide for yourself: What do you believe?
