Families with seven kids and home/landowners in 1955 rural Kentucky would have been highly unlikely to make up such a major hoax involving police and military knowing full well they and their kids would be branded as liars and driven out of the area (which is actually what happened).
Highly unlikely or not, it’s still way more likely than aliens. People have done stuff like this and MUCH stranger things. It’s not even hard for me to believe.

Some of the explanations may not be that likely, but weird situations, like folie à famille or ingesting hallucinogenic substances, happen sometimes.
this would be an interesting hypothesis. No report from the police the family were in any way under the influence of drugs police (even back in 1955) would check the level of sobriety of individuals making wild claims. Again no evidence the family (certainly not the 7 kids) were intoxicated in any way.
It doesn’t mean that they couldn’t have been under the influence of some substance.
