The UFO Bombshell BEFORE Roswell - The Paranormal Podcast 946

Was Roswell really the first major American UFO crash story?

Author Paul Blake Smith joins Jim to discuss a case he believes deserves far more attention than it gets: the reported 1941 crash near Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

His book, The UFO Bombshell Before Roswell: Missouri’s 1941 Crash and Cover-Up, explores claims of a downed craft, strange bodies, military involvement, and a local minister allegedly called to the scene under extraordinary circumstances.

Jim and Paul dig into the witness accounts, the historical setting of pre-war America, and why a case like this may have stayed buried for so long. Along the way, they discuss possible links to government secrecy, earlier European crash claims, recovered technology, and the larger question of whether the UFO story began long before most people think. It is a fascinating look at an overlooked case that challenges the usual timeline of UFO history.
