Cape Girardeau, Missouri 1941 — Alleged Crash Recovery
The Cape Girardeau incident is one of the alleged pre-Roswell crash recovery cases. Reverend William Huffman reportedly witnessed a crashed craft and non-human occupants and was asked to pray over the bodies. His family members testified to his account decades later. FBI records referencing 'three discs recovered' in the Midwest were later cited in connection with 1940s crash recovery allegations. The case is unverified but has been investigated by multiple researchers using FOIA requests.
