KellerThe author has done extensive research into the background of this event; including corresponding with myself; my uncle and sister who heard stories from my Mother about the event. She lived in the same house with a rural school teacher who boarded there. His girl friend was one of the nurses who was very frightened by the sight of the alien bodies. This man later served as the Cape Girardeau County Superintendent of the rural schools and signed report cards for me and my sister and all the other county rural school pupils. Another person who has recently been making repairs to my Mother's house says his uncle saw the crowd gathered at the crash site in 1941. There seems to be plenty of remaining memories reflecting that something very bizzare happened that spring-time night in southeastern Missouri.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Prequel to Roswell UFO crash.By Michael MurphyVery interesting narrative of a potentially earth shaking event in 1941. I got lost in all the abbreviations; minutiae; conjecture; speculation by the witnesses and their families over the ensuing decades. An important event in which evidence was effectively overlooked; confused; lost; strayed; misfiled; and confiscated; by the government for national security reasons. A good re-edit could sharpen an interesting narrative to known facts in order to draw amazingly similar parallels with future 1947 Roswell UFO crash. Anything that adds clarity to these events will help fill in historical gaps.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
