Crashed UFO Cover-up 6 years before Roswell?

[Sol]

I am posting this as this is the first time I ever hear of this story and perhaps, others haven't as well.

A UFO crashed in Cape Girardeau, Missouri in the spring of 1941.

A Minister, Reverend William Huffman, was called in to pray over the alien crash victims.

Reverend William Huffman had been an evangelist for many years, but had taken the resident minister reigns of the Red Star Baptist Church in early 1941. Church records corroborate his employment there during the period in question.
After receiving this call to duty, he was immediately driven the 10-15 mile journey to some woods outside of town. Upon arriving at the scene of the crash, he saw policemen, fire department personnel, FBI agents, and photographers already mulling through the wreckage.
He was soon asked to pray over three dead bodies. As he began to take in the activity around the area, his curiosity was first struck by the sight of the craft itself.

As any good cover-up would have it, he was then sworn to secrecy by the military personnel on site whom were already retrieving the evidence.

Expecting a small plane of some type, he was shocked to see that the craft was disc-shaped, and upon looking inside he saw hieroglyphic-like symbols, indecipherable to him.
He then was shown the three victims, not human as expected, but small alien bodies with large eyes, hardly a mouth or ears, and hairless.
Immediately after performing his duties, he was sworn to secrecy by military personnel who had taken charge of the crash area. He witnessed these warnings being given to others at the scene also.

What makes this one an interesting story is the evidence and paper trail that have seen the light of day since the event.

There are also Fire Department records of the date of the crash. This information does confirm the military swearing department members to secrecy, and also the removal of all evidence from the scene by military personnel.

As many of the UFO sightings - or crashes - of the era, the flying disk is once again described. Strange hieroglyphs on the wreckage were seen by witnesses...Marcel anyone?

And much like Jesse Marcel, Reverend Huffman - still in a state of shock - told his wife and his sons what he had just witnessed.

They would all keep much of the secrecy for a lifetime, except for Floy, his wife, who would tell the whole story to her grand daughter Charlotte, as she was dying of cancer.

Charlotte has been very active in researching what has happened as she's shared the story she was told.


And it's quite an amazing story.


Here are links to interviews and a documentary with Charlotte Mann, grand daughter of Reverend Huffman, press articles and the actual UFO Casebook story.
