1 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,320 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,800 Today's topic Cape Girardeau UFO. 3 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,680 Now this article comes to us from a while ago back in 4 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:23,280 February of 2015 by Bill Rickerson and the title is the 5 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:28,760 1941 Cape Girardeau UFO Crash. This can be found on Cape 6 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:35,400 Girardeau columbiatribune.com and it says on its website 7 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,800 ufocenter.com. The Seattle based National UFO 8 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:45,720 Reporting Center New Fork has accounts of 1857 UFO sightings. 9 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,520 I'm sure it's a lot more than that by now, observed throughout 10 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,880 most sections of Missouri since the early 1950s, because only 11 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,960 about 5% of UFO witnesses actually report their 12 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,790 experiences. The total number of UFO 13 00:01:00,790 --> 00:01:03,510 encounters is no doubt much higher. 14 00:01:04,830 --> 00:01:09,150 Well, certainly if you know you have 1800 UFO reported 15 00:01:09,150 --> 00:01:13,630 sightings, and that's only 5%, my goodness, we must be looking 16 00:01:13,630 --> 00:01:19,070 at 20 times that many, maybe 40,050 thousand UFO sightings. 17 00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:22,110 That's really a huge number when you think about it. 18 00:01:22,990 --> 00:01:26,830 It says an account of a UFO crash in southeast Missouri 19 00:01:26,830 --> 00:01:31,600 preceded the well known Roswell, NM crash by almost six years. 20 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,520 In 1991, the late Leonard Stringfield, an early UFO 21 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,120 investigator and former civilian consultant to UFO operations at 22 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,040 Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH in the 1950s, 23 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,600 published an account of an alleged 1941UFO crash near Cape 24 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,360 Girardeau. Stringfield's article appeared 25 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:59,740 in July 1991 issue of Status Report, a monthly publication on 26 00:01:59,740 --> 00:02:02,300 UFO activities and investigations. 27 00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:06,220 The article based on information received from Charlotte Mann, 28 00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:09,660 who was a young child living in Cape Girardeau in 1941. 29 00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:13,580 At the at the time, Charlotte's grandfather, the Reverend 30 00:02:13,580 --> 00:02:18,340 William Huffman, was pastor of Cape's Red Star Baptist Church. 31 00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:21,740 So this is going back a long ways. 32 00:02:22,260 --> 00:02:26,530 Just think about that 1941, this is, you know, whether we're in 33 00:02:26,530 --> 00:02:31,690 the middle of or just at the beginning rather of World War 2 34 00:02:32,250 --> 00:02:36,970 at pre cell phone, pre Internet. In fact a lot of people didn't 35 00:02:36,970 --> 00:02:40,610 even have telephones. So this is this is going on now 36 00:02:41,050 --> 00:02:45,170 almost 80 years ago, it says. Charlotte told Stringfield her 37 00:02:45,170 --> 00:02:50,770 grandfather received a call in spring 1941 from local police 38 00:02:50,770 --> 00:02:54,850 asking him to travel with them to the site of an airplane crash 39 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,560 outside the city limits to minister to the victims of the 40 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,000 crash. Now that might sound a little 41 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,520 out of the ordinary today, but from what I can gather, this was 42 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,360 kind of a common thing back in that time where people, they 43 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,920 would actually take a pasture with them to a car crash or a 44 00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:18,600 plane crash where they knew there was no hope that these 45 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,000 people could recover. They were just on the way there. 46 00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:24,470 And so they took the passion with them the same way they 47 00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:27,910 might take an EMT with them. Today when the Reverend Huffman 48 00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:31,910 arrived on the scene, police officers, firefighters, FBI 49 00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:35,870 agencies, emergency medical crew and numerous military personnel, 50 00:03:36,270 --> 00:03:40,350 presumably from the Army Air base in nearby Sikeston 51 00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:45,270 reviewing what Huffman described as a disk shape object, the 52 00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:50,710 interior of which contained a small metal chair, gauges dials 53 00:03:51,140 --> 00:03:55,580 in hieroglyphic like inscriptions and writings around 54 00:03:55,580 --> 00:03:58,220 the inside. Now this is odd because this is 55 00:03:58,220 --> 00:04:01,340 a lot like what we heard about at Roswell. 56 00:04:01,340 --> 00:04:02,860 The crash that happened six years later. 57 00:04:03,340 --> 00:04:08,500 This hieroglyphic type writings on the inside of the craft and 58 00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:11,940 this definitely falls into the category of a mechanical device. 59 00:04:11,940 --> 00:04:14,540 And then we talk about the different types of Ufo's. 60 00:04:14,780 --> 00:04:17,180 Well, this type of UFO is something that's there. 61 00:04:17,459 --> 00:04:21,779 It's 3 dimensional. It's in the flesh, in this case 62 00:04:21,779 --> 00:04:25,860 in the middle. Now it says he also saw three 63 00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:29,900 entities or non human people. Well now here you go, they 64 00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:32,460 called him non human people. Today we refer we would refer to 65 00:04:32,460 --> 00:04:35,940 these as maybe aliens, extraterrestrials or even non 66 00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:44,780 human entities. It says he also saw he also saw 67 00:04:44,780 --> 00:04:47,740 three entities non human people lying on the ground. 68 00:04:48,180 --> 00:04:53,020 Two were just outside the craft, with a third somewhat further 69 00:04:53,020 --> 00:04:56,260 away. He decided the he described the 70 00:04:56,260 --> 00:05:01,500 bodies as hairless, with large heads, big eyes, small mouths, 71 00:05:01,780 --> 00:05:05,380 and very small ears that Reverend Huffman said the dead 72 00:05:05,380 --> 00:05:09,340 individuals were about four feet tall and seemed to have no hard 73 00:05:09,340 --> 00:05:12,740 bone structure but very long arms and fingers. 74 00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:17,260 I'm not seeing just yet what color these things were, but 75 00:05:17,260 --> 00:05:20,660 almost sounds like a classic Gray alien. 76 00:05:21,180 --> 00:05:24,260 And the fact that they were laying outside the craft, the 77 00:05:24,260 --> 00:05:27,020 craft crashed. We have to wonder if this was 78 00:05:27,220 --> 00:05:30,780 just, you know, if they were, if they were discharged on impact 79 00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:34,460 or if the military had already gotten there and and removed 80 00:05:35,140 --> 00:05:38,940 these aliens out of the craft. It says shortly after viewing 81 00:05:38,940 --> 00:05:41,380 the dead bodies, OK, and we know they're dead. 82 00:05:41,660 --> 00:05:44,220 Reverend Huffman was asked to pray over them. 83 00:05:44,620 --> 00:05:48,760 Upon doing so, he was escorted by military officials to a 84 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,280 nearby location where he was sworn to secrecy and strongly 85 00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:54,440 warned to never discuss the crash with anyone. 86 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,840 Now some people might some of the skeptics might take issue 87 00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:01,760 with well, this pastor was asked to pray for them. 88 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,640 Let's keep in mind this is 1941. Society wasn't nearly as jaded 89 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:15,930 it is today, and at that time, even even people that weren't 90 00:06:15,930 --> 00:06:18,530 believers, you know, really would tend to show respect 91 00:06:18,530 --> 00:06:21,930 toward a pastor. A pastor hadn't become an object 92 00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:24,770 of ridicule at that time from Hollywood. 93 00:06:25,130 --> 00:06:31,010 I mean, a pastor was considered to be a position of trust and a 94 00:06:31,010 --> 00:06:32,810 position of respect in the community. 95 00:06:33,330 --> 00:06:36,370 So it doesn't strike me out of the ordinary at all. 96 00:06:36,370 --> 00:06:38,730 It's completely believable and completely normal to me. 97 00:06:39,090 --> 00:06:41,090 This pastor would have been taken here to pray with these, 98 00:06:41,490 --> 00:06:43,690 to prayer over these ails. That's what they did back then. 99 00:06:43,690 --> 00:06:45,570 When they didn't, when they didn't know what else to do, 100 00:06:45,570 --> 00:06:48,250 they prayed. And you know, maybe that would 101 00:06:48,250 --> 00:06:51,810 have been a good idea a lot more often in the society that we 102 00:06:51,810 --> 00:06:56,090 live in today, Maybe, if nothing else, it would have given people 103 00:06:56,290 --> 00:06:58,490 a few minutes not to make the wrong decision. 104 00:06:58,930 --> 00:07:03,570 Just if for no other reason. The pause and taking immediate 105 00:07:03,570 --> 00:07:07,370 action sometimes is better. Sometimes it's better to do 106 00:07:07,370 --> 00:07:10,890 nothing than to do something. But in this case here, this 107 00:07:11,050 --> 00:07:15,100 whole, this whole story has a ring of truth to it. 108 00:07:15,540 --> 00:07:20,620 That is exactly how I would have expected people in Missouri to 109 00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:24,380 act at that time. To see this pastor called out to 110 00:07:24,380 --> 00:07:30,060 help, to offer assistance and to be into have been treated with 111 00:07:30,060 --> 00:07:33,900 respect and dignity is exactly what I would have expected in 112 00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:36,860 1941. Now some people might might not 113 00:07:36,860 --> 00:07:39,780 see that because they're not old enough to remember how things 114 00:07:39,860 --> 00:07:43,540 used to be. But being a little older, I can 115 00:07:43,540 --> 00:07:46,660 see that is exactly how things used to be. 116 00:07:47,620 --> 00:07:50,900 Now it goes on. It says Huffman did not know. 117 00:07:51,860 --> 00:07:55,900 Huffman did not know what was told to others at the scene, but 118 00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:59,540 he was told this didn't happen. You didn't see this. 119 00:07:59,820 --> 00:08:03,700 This is national security and is never to be talked about again. 120 00:08:03,980 --> 00:08:07,890 That also sounds exactly like something that he would have 121 00:08:07,890 --> 00:08:09,410 been told by the military on site. 122 00:08:09,690 --> 00:08:12,370 Possibly the military on site had no idea that this pastor was 123 00:08:12,370 --> 00:08:17,490 even going to show up, but they were containing the site and we 124 00:08:17,490 --> 00:08:20,770 see this over and over again when the military gets involved 125 00:08:20,770 --> 00:08:23,810 in a UFO encounter, or especially in a UFO crash. 126 00:08:24,450 --> 00:08:27,770 Given the large number of individuals present, it was 127 00:08:27,770 --> 00:08:30,690 highly likely the secret would eventually be revealed. 128 00:08:31,900 --> 00:08:34,780 Well, that's true, but it wasn't going to be revealed for a long 129 00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:38,780 time. Remember, the US government was 130 00:08:38,780 --> 00:08:42,780 able to develop nuclear weapons without them being revealed 131 00:08:43,380 --> 00:08:46,180 until they bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 132 00:08:46,180 --> 00:08:49,940 I mean, they put up giant dams to generate the power to build 133 00:08:49,940 --> 00:08:52,140 the bombs, all this sort of thing. 134 00:08:52,140 --> 00:08:54,980 And they were able, they were so good at compartmentalizing 135 00:08:55,940 --> 00:08:59,020 information that they were able to keep the whole thing top 136 00:08:59,020 --> 00:09:01,840 secret right up until the time they drop the bombs. 137 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:08,080 So it what we see here is the military containing a UFO crash 138 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,520 site and doing what they do best and that is containing the 139 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,960 information about this wreck by compartmentalizing it. 140 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,560 And they were very good at it and they were successful at it. 141 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,200 It says given the large number of individuals present, it was 142 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,640 highly likely the secret would would eventually be revealed. 143 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,840 And although the Reverend Huffman intended to keep silent 144 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,600 regarding his participation in the affair, he was not 145 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,040 completely successful. Among those who eventually 146 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:43,000 learned the secret, Or his wife Floyd and his granddaughter 147 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,880 Charlotte. Or his granddaughter Charlotte 148 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,920 and their brother of Cape Girardeau County Sheriff 149 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,960 Clarence Shade, who partially confirmed the story in a 150 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,800 notarized sworn epidata. In addition to the accounts of 151 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,750 the UFO crash passed on to her by her grandmother, Charlotte 152 00:09:59,750 --> 00:10:02,830 recalled one of the first situations in which she heard 153 00:10:02,830 --> 00:10:04,630 about it. Quote. 154 00:10:04,950 --> 00:10:08,270 Well, the first awareness that I had of it, the dead bodies, is 155 00:10:08,270 --> 00:10:11,350 actually a picture that my father had, and it was at a 156 00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:14,830 dinner party and I heard rumors and bits and pieces over 157 00:10:14,830 --> 00:10:17,190 conversations. But it was a picture, an old 158 00:10:17,190 --> 00:10:20,830 picture, because it had it was like the old Kodak with little 159 00:10:20,830 --> 00:10:24,390 lions and scalps around it. There were two men holding up. 160 00:10:24,470 --> 00:10:28,380 A non human is the best way I can describe it, a little 161 00:10:28,380 --> 00:10:32,220 entity, a little person who appeared to be about 4 foot 162 00:10:32,220 --> 00:10:34,420 tall. They had him underneath the 163 00:10:34,460 --> 00:10:37,700 armpits with arms outstretched on either side of him. 164 00:10:38,180 --> 00:10:41,740 Unfortunately, that picture was not in Charlotte's position and 165 00:10:41,740 --> 00:10:45,020 the UFO researchers have been unable to locate it. 166 00:10:45,580 --> 00:10:47,540 Now that sounds like something that might have been taken by 167 00:10:47,540 --> 00:10:51,940 the locals when they showed up, you know, or even maybe at like 168 00:10:51,940 --> 00:10:55,090 a local press person. I mean, it was not uncommon in 169 00:10:55,090 --> 00:10:59,170 those days that there was a car wreck for pictures to be taken 170 00:10:59,170 --> 00:11:02,770 of the car wreck and even pictures of the unfortunate 171 00:11:03,130 --> 00:11:07,570 occupants who had expired to have had their picture taken. 172 00:11:08,010 --> 00:11:11,330 So it'd be no surprise to me that if word had gotten out, 173 00:11:11,330 --> 00:11:13,730 maybe on a police radio or somebody had called the local 174 00:11:13,730 --> 00:11:16,690 newspaper person, that someone would have showed up with a 175 00:11:16,690 --> 00:11:19,550 camera and taken a picture like this, and maybe they would have 176 00:11:19,550 --> 00:11:23,030 gotten out of there before the military got on scene. 177 00:11:23,070 --> 00:11:26,030 I mean, so this part is also very believable to me. 178 00:11:26,910 --> 00:11:31,790 Goes on it, says UFO journalist BJ Booth says of the Cape 179 00:11:31,830 --> 00:11:35,030 Girardeau story. This case ends like many others, 180 00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:37,630 but it appears, by all indications, to be authentic. 181 00:11:37,950 --> 00:11:41,510 All who have come in contact with Charlotte Mann have found 182 00:11:41,510 --> 00:11:44,630 her to be a trustworthy person who is not given to 183 00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:48,170 sensationalism, and she has sought to gain, and she has 184 00:11:48,170 --> 00:11:52,050 sought no gain from her account. A Charlotte man moved from Cape 185 00:11:52,050 --> 00:11:55,850 Girardeau to Tyler, TX. Based on his own analysis of the 186 00:11:55,850 --> 00:12:00,330 Cape Girardeau episode, noted ufologist Ryan Wood says one can 187 00:12:00,330 --> 00:12:03,690 reasonably conclude that there was a crash event. 188 00:12:03,930 --> 00:12:08,210 The implications of this case, if fully proven, are part of the 189 00:12:08,210 --> 00:12:10,930 larger picture. Namely, extraterrestrial 190 00:12:10,930 --> 00:12:14,970 visitors are real, and certain factions of the government have 191 00:12:14,970 --> 00:12:19,090 been hiding this fact since at least 1941. 192 00:12:19,370 --> 00:12:22,170 What also says the final resolution of this case is still 193 00:12:22,170 --> 00:12:24,370 out there. It may come in the form. 194 00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:26,570 It may come in form of new physical evidence, but it's a 195 00:12:26,570 --> 00:12:29,290 wreckage. New witnesses, historical air 196 00:12:29,290 --> 00:12:32,290 photography, soil samples are archived research. 197 00:12:32,890 --> 00:12:36,250 All of these fronts are being actively worked and there is 198 00:12:36,370 --> 00:12:40,770 reason to predict success now. I would just say interject here. 199 00:12:41,170 --> 00:12:45,090 You know, at this point in time when we have for profit UFO 200 00:12:45,090 --> 00:12:50,430 research companies on the prowl, I mean, it's kind of like the 201 00:12:50,430 --> 00:12:54,630 Mike and Frank of the UFO world out there looking for a UFO 202 00:12:54,630 --> 00:12:57,150 artifacts, meta material, whatever. 203 00:12:57,990 --> 00:13:02,710 If the stuff turns up, we have to wonder if we'll have a chance 204 00:13:02,710 --> 00:13:08,710 of seeing it or if they'll simply sell it to the US Army, 205 00:13:08,710 --> 00:13:12,190 US Air Force, Navy, whoever, and somehow monetize it. 206 00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:15,630 That that's kind of the problem we have right now when we have 207 00:13:16,770 --> 00:13:20,410 UFO pickers basically out there scavenging the countryside for 208 00:13:20,410 --> 00:13:23,610 this stuff. It says for Ryan Woods in depth 209 00:13:23,610 --> 00:13:25,130 analysis and extensive documents. 210 00:13:25,130 --> 00:13:28,730 In this case Google evidence for a crash retrieval in Cape 211 00:13:28,890 --> 00:13:31,650 Girardeau. Quite an interesting article 212 00:13:31,650 --> 00:13:36,530 there. Now I have another article here 213 00:13:36,530 --> 00:13:43,810 I did find and I posted a link to it on my Twitter account. 214 00:13:44,130 --> 00:13:47,590 UFO Warning. And now while I'm on here real 215 00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:51,230 quick, I just want to mention that I posted another link on 216 00:13:51,270 --> 00:13:55,830 the Twitter account to a UFO documentary. 217 00:13:55,870 --> 00:13:58,270 Show us out there. It's Nick Pope, and I'm sorry 218 00:13:58,270 --> 00:13:59,910 but I can't remember the other fellow's name. 219 00:13:59,910 --> 00:14:04,430 Anyway, something UFO basement. I've watched a couple of the 220 00:14:04,430 --> 00:14:07,870 videos, they are completely awesome, OK? 221 00:14:07,870 --> 00:14:11,510 And I put a link there. They're on YouTube and I watched 222 00:14:11,510 --> 00:14:18,210 two of them and I have never seen so much UFO investigation 223 00:14:18,210 --> 00:14:23,050 data and information packed into one little 30 minute show and I 224 00:14:23,050 --> 00:14:25,450 think they're either sponsored by or connected with New York 225 00:14:25,450 --> 00:14:26,330 Post. I don't know. 226 00:14:26,730 --> 00:14:30,010 But you can go to the website like I said, you can link there 227 00:14:30,010 --> 00:14:35,090 from the anchor website right to my UFO warning Twitter account. 228 00:14:35,090 --> 00:14:41,290 I think it's warning sub UFO. Anyway, if you want to do a 229 00:14:41,290 --> 00:14:44,850 follow, do a follow and I'll and I try to always follow back but 230 00:14:44,890 --> 00:14:46,810 you can link to that video and then you can link to this 231 00:14:46,810 --> 00:14:49,970 article right here. And this comes from like four 232 00:14:49,970 --> 00:14:57,170 years ago it's KFVS news KFV s12.com and it it says 75th 233 00:14:57,290 --> 00:15:01,170 anniversary of alleged UFO crash in Cape Girardeau and they got 234 00:15:01,170 --> 00:15:05,050 like a little minute long report which is fine and it says here 235 00:15:05,050 --> 00:15:09,010 it's by Amber Rush and Kate Brosman April 12th, 2016. 236 00:15:09,870 --> 00:15:12,750 It starts off it says an urban legend in Cape Girardeau is 237 00:15:12,750 --> 00:15:17,270 believed to be an alien cover up and the crash before Roswell. 238 00:15:18,790 --> 00:15:23,590 Now I have to say I would not call this an urban legend. 239 00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:25,550 Okay. I'm not really sure that Cape 240 00:15:25,550 --> 00:15:29,470 Girardeau was that urban. It's more of a it's more of a 241 00:15:29,470 --> 00:15:34,590 UFO account that's been handed down over a couple generations. 242 00:15:34,590 --> 00:15:38,030 Now it says April 12th mark the 75th anniversary of the legend 243 00:15:38,670 --> 00:15:42,630 Cape Girardo UF crash of 1941. Of course we're four years past 244 00:15:42,630 --> 00:15:46,390 that now, Cape Girardeau UFO researcher Michael Huntington 245 00:15:46,390 --> 00:15:48,750 said. The story dates back to 1941, 246 00:15:49,270 --> 00:15:51,910 when a reverend was called to what he thought was a plane 247 00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:55,270 crash to read the last rites of the passengers. 248 00:15:55,470 --> 00:15:58,550 The Reverend William Huffman, who was the minister there, was 249 00:15:58,550 --> 00:16:01,670 called by the local sheriff to come assist in delivering some 250 00:16:01,670 --> 00:16:03,670 sort of last rites at a plane crash. 251 00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:07,020 That's when the Reverend was under the impression that he 252 00:16:07,140 --> 00:16:09,180 that's what the Reverend was under impression he was going to 253 00:16:09,180 --> 00:16:11,620 do. A car arrived at his house, 254 00:16:11,620 --> 00:16:15,780 which was nearby the current Red Star Baptist Church location, 255 00:16:16,060 --> 00:16:20,020 and they drove about 18 miles or so outside of Cape Girardeau, 256 00:16:20,020 --> 00:16:23,860 closer to the Chaffee area. When they showed up on the 257 00:16:23,860 --> 00:16:28,060 scene, it was not a plane crash. It was allegedly a flying 258 00:16:28,060 --> 00:16:34,020 saucer, a classic silver round disc that it crashed that had 259 00:16:34,020 --> 00:16:36,860 started a fire. There were police and fire there 260 00:16:36,860 --> 00:16:41,220 to take care of the scene, put out the fire on a locals farmers 261 00:16:41,220 --> 00:16:44,380 field, Huntington said. Their reverend arrived and saw a 262 00:16:44,420 --> 00:16:49,700 classic flying disc with part of the side ripped open and two 263 00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:53,420 alien bodies that were at least dead and one that may have been 264 00:16:53,420 --> 00:16:57,300 dying, may have been alive. Couldn't breathe, he continued. 265 00:16:57,660 --> 00:17:01,820 The Reverend looked inside the flying saucer and saw wires and 266 00:17:01,820 --> 00:17:05,030 components of some sort of alien design. 267 00:17:05,550 --> 00:17:09,869 There were strange hieroglyphics and bizarre knobs and dials. 268 00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:13,630 The Reverend knew that he couldn't really give the the 269 00:17:13,630 --> 00:17:16,310 last rites. About that time the Army Air 270 00:17:16,310 --> 00:17:20,710 Corps arrived from Sikeston's field and cordon off the area 271 00:17:20,950 --> 00:17:24,990 and swore everybody to secrecy and confiscated any pictures. 272 00:17:25,589 --> 00:17:29,760 Well, apparently they didn't confiscate all the pictures 273 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,360 because we now have been told by the reverend's daughter that at 274 00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:37,400 least one picture survived of two people holding up the alien. 275 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,880 Now it goes on and says the reverend knew that he couldn't 276 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,320 really give last rights by the time the Army Corps air arrived 277 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,240 from Sikeston's field and cordon off the area and swore everybody 278 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,160 to secrecy and confiscated any pictures. 279 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:53,040 There were pictures allegedly taken that night of men holding 280 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,760 one of the alien bodies, and somewhere out there are those 281 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,760 pictures. It became part of the legend. 282 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,440 It's Cape Girardeau's urban legend, Huntington said. 283 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,560 According to the legend, the story was kept quiet for years, 284 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,880 but witnesses told the story on their deathbeds. 285 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,200 The story got out through Charlotte Mann, who was the 286 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,600 reverend's granddaughter, who began to give accounts of the 287 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,680 story in the late 1970s, Huntington said. 288 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,880 This story has been known about by UFO researchers for as far 289 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,640 back as then. It was a deathbed confession, 290 00:18:28,090 --> 00:18:31,170 Reverend Mann told to his granddaughter and she had seen 291 00:18:31,170 --> 00:18:35,050 in pictures, I believe at one time, I believe at one time, of 292 00:18:35,050 --> 00:18:39,050 the alleged aliens, years after the event, obviously, she told 293 00:18:39,050 --> 00:18:41,410 the researchers. And they begin to look into it. 294 00:18:41,810 --> 00:18:43,930 Now. You can hear from the previous 295 00:18:43,930 --> 00:18:46,850 account that I just read, which actually honestly was a little 296 00:18:46,850 --> 00:18:49,890 more professionally done, how the author described that. 297 00:18:49,890 --> 00:18:53,610 The picture was the very old Kodak style where you had like 298 00:18:53,610 --> 00:18:57,550 the little, you know, Half Moon indentions along the sides of 299 00:18:57,550 --> 00:18:59,710 the picture that would tell me the picture was taken back like 300 00:18:59,710 --> 00:19:03,470 in the 40s, like at the time. Whether you believe the stories 301 00:19:03,470 --> 00:19:06,030 are not Huntington City crash is important to history, folklore 302 00:19:06,030 --> 00:19:08,550 and culture. This story, whether you believe 303 00:19:08,550 --> 00:19:10,590 it or not, is part of Cape Girardeau's history is part of 304 00:19:10,590 --> 00:19:12,390 our culture. It's part of our religious, our 305 00:19:12,390 --> 00:19:15,590 regional folklore. And it's part of a broader 306 00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:19,110 history of UFO's, which is a part of American history. 307 00:19:19,630 --> 00:19:24,110 Nobody can deny the influence of UFO culture, UFO stories, the 308 00:19:24,110 --> 00:19:27,310 visuals of fascination. Nobody can deny that it's had an 309 00:19:27,310 --> 00:19:30,270 impact on American culture and American politics, Huntington 310 00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:32,750 said. Huntington asked that if you 311 00:19:32,750 --> 00:19:35,270 have any information on this ledge crash, please contact him 312 00:19:35,270 --> 00:19:37,750 or another researcher. And then he says here, if 313 00:19:37,790 --> 00:19:41,830 anybody out there within the Cape Girardeau area or Jackson, 314 00:19:41,830 --> 00:19:45,230 or especially folks near Chaffee, if you've heard any 315 00:19:45,230 --> 00:19:48,030 stories, share them with us. Try to get ahold of me or some 316 00:19:48,030 --> 00:19:50,360 of the other researchers out there. 317 00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:52,840 The more information we have, the more we can get an idea of 318 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,560 what actually happened, Huntington said. 319 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,280 And like I said, I've linked to this article here and you can 320 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,680 find it on my Twitter feed account. 321 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,120 It's got a nice, it's got a, it's got a nice drawing here. 322 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,480 I'm not sure if that was done at the time, but it shows a saucer 323 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,920 with the classic Dome over it, and it has an alien sitting 324 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,800 inside of it. But there were four aliens. 325 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,040 They must have really been crammed in that thing. 326 00:20:18,740 --> 00:20:22,420 You know, you kind of wonder. The fascinating thing about this 327 00:20:22,420 --> 00:20:28,460 story is we have this alien interaction, and it seems like 328 00:20:28,460 --> 00:20:32,700 it was kind of an ongoing thing from just as World War Two was 329 00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:35,940 kicking off until after the war and then beyond that. 330 00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:40,700 But it's another it's another trend that we see that when 331 00:20:42,060 --> 00:20:47,560 there seems to be a lot of a lot of negativity in the air, such 332 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,120 as a war or such as what we're going through right now, it 333 00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:54,520 always seems to correspond with UFO encounters. 334 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,920 And in this case, we have not just UFO encounters, we have UFO 335 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,320 crashes. And why these things were 336 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,040 crashing? Well, some people think it might 337 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:09,300 have had something to do with the radios being, you know, 338 00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:12,420 towers being put up. I mean, the countries I was 339 00:21:12,420 --> 00:21:15,260 being electrified or maybe it was even something to do with 340 00:21:15,260 --> 00:21:18,700 the government themselves. You had Sykeston's Air Force 341 00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:21,820 Base, they say. They seem to have showed up 342 00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:24,420 there fairly quickly after the crash. 343 00:21:24,940 --> 00:21:30,420 So we have to think that even back in 1941, the military, the 344 00:21:30,420 --> 00:21:32,860 Air Force in particular, was monitoring these things. 345 00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:37,530 If they had been monitoring these things, then you have to 346 00:21:37,530 --> 00:21:39,650 wonder how they got there so quickly. 347 00:21:39,650 --> 00:21:43,210 Unless, of course, maybe law enforcement had called them to 348 00:21:43,210 --> 00:21:46,130 notify them of an airplane crash, thinking that it could 349 00:21:46,130 --> 00:21:48,250 have been, you know, one of ours. 350 00:21:48,690 --> 00:21:51,650 Either way, the whole article is very interesting and it's so 351 00:21:51,650 --> 00:21:54,250 much fun to go back and look at these things that happened 6070 352 00:21:54,250 --> 00:21:59,490 years ago and see how much they have in common with the same 353 00:21:59,490 --> 00:22:01,490 kind of encounters that happen even today. 354 00:22:02,370 --> 00:22:05,920 Until next time, this is UFO Warning Over and out play 355 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,200 trailer of the movie.
