By now Roswell, N.M., site of a reported UFO crash and retrieval in 1947, has become a household word. It is not generally known, however, that Roswell is only one of many such cases, and not the earliest. Another UFO crash and retrieval of debris and bodies reportedly took place in the spring of 1941 at Cape Girardeau, Missouri. At last weekend's UFO Crash Retrieval Conference in Las Vegas, Nev., Ryan S. Wood presented eyewitness testimony backed up by newly released intelligence documents that support the reality of the case. The primary witness is Charlette Mann, who says her grandfather, the Rev. William Huffman, was called on the scene to "bless" three dead non-human occupants of a crashed saucer. Mann's testimony first appeared in Leo Stringfield's book "Crash Retrievals: The Inner Sanctum, Status Report VI." Mann recounts the 1984 deathbed confession of her grandmother who said her husband on an early spring night arrived at the site 10-15 miles outside Cape Girardeau where police, firemen, FBI and photographers had already gathered. He was asked to provide blessings to the three dead occupants of the craft, and while praying over the non-human entities, managed to glance at the inside of the craft and saw various guages and dials plus hieroglyphic writing.

When the military arrived, everyone was sworn to secrecy, but Rev. Huffman chose to share this story with his wife and family. Wood later met Ms. Mann and videotaped her testimony, which was shown at the conference. In Charlette's own words, as recorded by Wood for an upcoming television documentary, she said she had seen a photograph of one of the dead aliens that had been handed down in her family. "I saw that (picture) and asked my grandmother at a later time. She was at my home fatally ill with cancer so we had a frank discussion. "He [Rev. Huffman] described it as a saucer that was metallic in color, no seams, did not look like anything he had seen. It had been broken open in one portion, and so he could walk up and see that. In looking in he saw a small metal chair, guages and dials and things he had never seen. However, what impressed him most was around the inside there were inscriptions and writing, which he said he did not recognize, but were similar to Egyptian hieroglyphics. There were three entities, or non-human people, lying on the ground. Two were just outside the saucer, and a third one was further out. His understanding was that perhaps that third one was not dead on impact.
