America's First Alien Contact Wasn't Roswell!
Six years before Roswell, something came down over Cape Girardeau, Missouri — and the government made sure you never heard about it. This week we sit down with author and researcher Paul Blake Smith to dig into his book The UFO Bombshell Before Roswell: Missouri's 1941 Crash and Cover-Up.
Paul walks us through the wreckage, the witnesses, and the powerful names tied to the cover-up — FDR, a young Senator Harry Truman, and even whispers of Einstein. We get into what allegedly happened to the recovered craft and its occupants, why the Freemason connections in the case run so deep, and how MO41 may have quietly set the stage for the country's reaction to Roswell six years later.
Paul is the author of eight books, including the bestsellers President Eisenhower's Close Encounters and The Nixon-Gleason Alien Encounter. This is a deep one — bring your tinfoil hat.
