The
recent strange light that appeared over Cape Girardeau reminded me of the alleged
UFO crash that some claim happened right here in Cape back in 1941.
According
to my research, in the spring of 1941 Red Start Baptist Church Preacher William
Huffman was summoned to pray over an alien crash outside of Cape Girardeau. I
wanted to get some facts so I did a quick search and discovered that Huffman's
granddaughter, Charlette Mann lives in Tyler, TX. Another search uncovered her
phone number, so I called her for some details. Mann says she remembers seeing
a picture from the crash and that her grandmother gave her the details of the
Cape UFO crash before passing away.
During
our conversation Mann informed me that with the help of a few others she is writing
a book about the Cape Girardeau UFO crash. Mann pointed out that the Cape Girardeau
UFO crash preceded the Roswell event several years.
Here's
what I found interesting, during a television interview Mann says, "
My
grandfather came home and told the story to my dad, who was there, and my grandmother
and my uncle. Now my mother was expecting at the time, so she was off in the bedroom.
My sister was born May 3, 1941, so we are assuming this was the middle to the
last of April
" In other words, the Cape UFO crash allegedly occurred
in mid to late April of 1941 and in mid to late April of 2008 folks in Cape are
seeing strange lights over the city. What do you think? I think it's just a coincidence!
