A PASTOR’S DEATHBED SECRET: The Alien Bodies of 1941 Missouri
Published 8 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
When Reverend William Huffman was called to pray over crash victims in the Missouri woods one night in 1941, he never expected to find himself standing over small, hairless beings with large heads and hieroglyphic-covered wreckage—a secret his family would keep hidden for over 40 years.

IN THIS EPISODE: When Lottie Chettle identified herself to the court, and gave her occupation as “barber”, a rather astonishing thing happened. People laughed. Why? The story is a strange one! (The Victorian Female Barber in Court) *** Sometimes the sour attitude of a mother-in-law can not only break up a marriage, but it can lead to murder. (A Day of Blood) *** We’ll look at a murder that was described quite well in an editorial in Truth magazine saying: “There have been murders in the hot blood of passion, assassinations prompted by wrong, by jealousy, by greed of gain but this is none of these. It is simply the crime of a vile-tempered bilious wretch, far too many of whose like are still at large, perpetuated not only on a victim who had more case to feel aggrieved at them than he at her, but perpetuated with every suggestion of premeditation.” Why did William Sindram murder Catherine Crave? (Shot Down Remorselessly) *** There have been so many accidents and mysterious disappearances on one particular stretch of road in Australia that it has earned an ominous nickname… “The Highway of Death”. We’ll look at the infamous length of asphalt named Flinders Highway. (Highway Vanishings Down Under) *** UFO stories are a dime a dozen. Even stories of UFOs crashing have become humdrum for many. But what if I were to tell you that there was a UFO crash in Missouri that was so fantastic that a local pastor was asked to come and pray over the three dead alien bodies found at the crash site? (The Cape Girardeau UFO Crash) *** "What people sometimes don't get about science is that we often have phenomena that remain unexplained," said an astrophysicist at MIT. Turns out he was referring to unidentified flying objects. (Unsolved UFO Sightings)
