This is the first time that I have had this report to reviewand it is critically important because it is the first that led clearly to areported recovery. Yet little has beendone to track what happened to the data itself. It certainly was not buried in this farmer’s field.
It all also happened before any military or governmentagency had a reason to establish a response protocol at all. So that background should not contaminate theevidence.
Somewhere there are real paper reports on all this buried inarchives. Why have they not surfaced? Otherwise, we have to believe that some folksdid pick up the bodies and then just buried them while also perhaps crushingthe craft and selling it for scrap. Thiswould be gross negligence even in the eighteenth century. It did not happen that way.
However it all disappeared and we are left with realphotographs dated from the time and place that simply could not have beenimagined then. In fact we waited a lotof years to get equal information.

One of the most mysterious stories of a crashed UFO with alien bodies precededthe well know
He opened a tantalizing account of amilitary controlled UFO crash retrieval which is still being researchedtoday. The details of the case were sent to him in a letter from oneCharlette Mann, who related her minister-grandfather's deathbed confession ofbeing summoned to pray over alien crash victims outside of After receiving this call to duty, he was immediately driven the 10-15 milejourney to some woods outside of town. Upon arriving at the scene of the crash,he saw policemen, fire department personnel, FBI agents, and photographersalready mulling through the wreckage. He was soon asked to pray over three deadbodies. As he began to take in the activity around the area, his curiosity wasfirst struck by the sight of the craft itself.
Expecting a small plane of some type, he was shocked to see that thecraft was disc-shaped, and upon looking inside he sawhieroglyphic-like symbols, indecipherable to him. He then was shown thethree victims, not human as expected, but small alien bodies with largeeyes, hardly a mouth or ears, and hairless. Immediately after performinghis duties, he was sworn to secrecy by military personnel who had takencharge of the crash area. [already we have a military response inthe face of the strange. - recall that the War of the Worlds broadcastwas then only three years before in 1938. Unbelievably, this fear of mass panic really does date back to the 1938broadcast and explains the military protocol – Arclein ] He witnessed these warnings being given to others at the scene also.
As he arrived back at his home at
As her grandmother tolerated her last few days on this Earth, Charlette knew itwas now or never to find out everything she could before this intriguing storywas lost with the death of her grandmother. She also learned that one of themembers of her grandfather's congregation, thought to be Garland D.Fronabarger, had given him a photograph taken on the night of thecrash. This picture was of one of the dead aliens being help up by twomen. -ufocasebook.com
Local UFO probe Researcher seeks answers to report of crash in 1941
A
"Project Identification: The First Scientific Field Study of UFOPhenomena" outlines Rutledge's research.
Westwood said Rutledge told him he has not heard of the 1941 incident.Westwood, a retired Navy man and engineer; is looking for people who mayremember an incident from 1941 when some type of aircraft reportedly crashedapproximately ~3 to 15 miles outside
Westwood bases his investigation on an account by Charlotte Mann, a Texas womanwhose grandfather, the Rev. William Huffman, was the pastor of
Leonard H. Stringfield, a renowned UFO investigator, recounted Mann's story inthe July 1991 issue of his "Status Report," a monthly publication onUFO activities and investigations. Mann told Stringfield her grandfather got acall one spring night from police asking him to accompany them to the site ofan airplane crash outside town in case the victims needed a clergyman.
"A car was sent to get him, but grandmother said it wasn't a policecar," Mann said in Stingfield's recounting of the story. When Huffman gotto the crash scene, Mann said, he noticed one piece of the wreckage thatappeared to have a rounded shape with no edges or seams," and a "veryshiny metallic finish."
"Police officers, "plainclothes men" and "military officerswere already at the scene sifting through the wreckage, Mann said. Laid to oneside of the scene were "three bodies, not human," she recounted."It was hard for him to tell if they had on suits or if it was their skin,but they were covered head to foot in what looked like wrinkled aluminumfoil," Mann said. [ This isimportant because it informs us that they need to wear a faraday cage insidethe craft to protect them selves from powerful currents - Arclein] "He could see no hair on their bodiesand they had no ears. They were small framed like a child, about 4 feet tall,but had larger heads and longer arms." Their faces had "large,oval-shaped eyes, no noses, just holes and no lips, just small slits formouths," Mann said. Huffman was told by one of the military officers atthe scene not to tell anyone what he had witnessed for security reasons, Manntold Stringfield. Huffman told his wife, Floy, and their two Sons what he hadseen when he returned home from the crash site but never spoke of it again,said Mann.
Huffman died in 1959. His wife, who died in 1984, told Mann the story. A fewweeks after the crash, Huffman was apparently given a photo of two men holdingone of the corpses found at the scene. Mann's father loaned the photo to afriend but never saw it again.
Now Westwood, who read Mann's account in Stringfield's publication, is lookingfor other who may remember hearing about the crash. "What you need here isanother source, at least one other person who says, I sort of rememberthis," Westwood said. "Even if it's second-hand account, you've atleast got another source.
"Mann's account says the crash happened in the spring. Westwood speculatesit may actually have happened in the fall because of the mention of a fieldfire caused by the crash. In the spring, he reasons, vegetation would havebeen too wet to burn easily. "But in the fall, it's very dry,"he said.
He also speculates the military officers on the scene may havebeen called in from an Army Air Corps base in
Westwood began researching Mann's story at the beginning of the year.He has been in
"There isn't anything that I would consider even close," Westwoodsaid. He found a report of a student pilot's airplane crash near Morley in
The other problem is the Huffmans left the area not long after the allegedcrash. The
And Stringfield, who investigated hundreds of reports of UFO crashes andretrievals, died in 1994. His family has refused to release his files to otherresearchers.
Westwood says he has never seen a UFO or been in contact withextraterrestrials. "There's no doubt in my mind that UFOs are real flyingobjects from outer space," he said. He points to similarities in thousandsof sightings and reports from people who have reported having contact withextraterrestrials as evidence that something is out there. But what he callsthe "cultism" surrounding the study of UFOs and false reports byattention-seeking hysterics detracts from evidence given by witnesses or peoplewho claim contact, Westwood says, "aren't any crazier than anybodyelse."
Tracing UFO reports is "an interesting kind of detective story,"Westwood said. "It's a Sherlock Holmes kind of thing in which you have tosort through a lot of BS looking for those nuggets. In the end, some of thethings fit, and some Things don't"

Summary: Interview with Charlette Mann, granddaughter of ReverandWilliam Huffman who was called in 1941 to pray over the bodies of alien crashvictims. Charlette recounts the experience as told by her grandmother beforeher grandmother's death in 1984.
INTERVIEW WITH CHARLETTE MANN
Charlette Mann, Spiritual Counselor, Tyler, Texas, and Granddaughter ofSouthern Baptist Minister William Huffman who began his ministry in CapeGirardeau,
My grandmother became ill with cancer and so she spent a great deal of time inmy home taking chemotherapy and staying with us until she was a little bitstronger. That was shortly before her death that I began to ask her questions.And I tried to make them very open ended. I didn't want to lead her intoanything and I asker her if she recalled that evening when grandfather hadreceived a call. And it took me quite a few days to even convince her after allthese years and grandfather having passed away quite some time ago to breakthat bond or confidence that they had made. Grandfather and this is how it wasrelated by my grandmother and then I knew if it came out of my grandmother'smouth, I knew it was correct.
WHEN WAS SHE ILL AND DYING, WHAT YEAR?
It was in 1983 to 1984 and passed away I'm not good with dates it was in theyear of 1984, I believe. She was here at my home. She lived in
IN
Yes.
AND DURING THAT TIME IN 1984 BEFORE SHE PASSED, THAT'S WHEN YOU WERE ABLE TOHAVE SOME KIND OF CONVERSATION WITH HER ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN
Right.
DID SHE EVER SUGGEST A MONTH OR A DATE?
We talked about it and she thought, and I still strongly believe, that it wasthe latter part of April. The reason being is that my mother and father werethere visiting grandmother and grandpa and she was expecting my sister. Mysister was born on May 3, 1941. And so, they had been there 3 or 4 weeks beforeMother delivered.
OK, APRIL 1941. WHAT DID SHE TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT SHE REMEMBERED?
Well, they were sitting around visiting and it was 8 or 9 o clock of theevening. The phone rang and grandfather went to the telephone. He talked for alittle bit and hung up the phone. What was said at that time was that someonefrom, had called the police department, or we assumed it was the policedepartment, and they had reported what they saw was a plane crash, that theperson whose property it was on had seen it. It had landed into a field andthere was some fire associated. So, they asked if grandfather would be willingto go out with them to the scene in case there were some people who might needprayer or assistance because they weren't quite sure what they were headed to.
So, he agreed to do that and a car was sent for him. They picked him up. Idon't know how long he was gone. She didn't ever tell me that, but for awhile.It was later because they stayed up late to wait. When he came back, he wasvery shaken and it took a lot to shake my grandfather. She said that he setdown and told her, 'I'm going to tell you what has happened. You can neverrepeat it and I will never speak of it again.'
And he said that when he got out there that it wasn't a crashed plane at all.There were some civilians. We assume probably people who lived near the farmwhere it had crashed, near the people who had placed the call. Neighbors. Ibelieve there was a newspaper man from the newspaper. I believe there mighthave been fire people at the time. But some civilian people.
Grandfather described what he saw was a saucer-shape that had broken in halfand you could walk up to see inside. He saw a lot of panel of things he didn'tknow. Gauges, different things and small little seats that lookedchildren-sized. The thing that seemed to impress him the most and intrigued himthe most was there was a band around it of a type of metal that he was notfamiliar with. It looked as if it had hieroglyphic, like Egyptian-type, writingthat he assumed was writing.
Southern Baptist ReverendWilliam Huffman, witness to the crash in
THE SYMBOLS WERE ON THE WALLS INSIDE THE CRAFT?
On the inside. And that there were three beings, thrown. They were on theoutside and assumed they were thrown out (by the crash). One was stillbreathing, was not dead. Grandfather knelt down next to him and he expired, buthe prayed over each and every one of them."
In 1999, Charlette Mann drew what she remembered seeing in the photograph thather father kept of the 1941 incident. Around her drawing, she wrote: "MyGrandfather stated that the being was not alive at the time of this picturebeing taken. The picture was approximately 9 inches by 9 inches and hadscalloped (white) edges. This is how the little Alien was being held in thepicture I saw of my grandfather's (incident). There were some trees. The grasswas ankle high and deeper in places. I was so fixed on his eyes I don't recallas much other details as I might have." She also noted that the man on theright in her drawing "had on dress slacks, wide brimmed hat. They both hadwhite shirts on." The man on the right had "his sleeves rolled up.The other had a short waist coat jacket. There was no one else in the pictureexcept these three."
It seemed to be a child-sized being, probably 4 feet tall, maybe. It wasdifficult to tell if it had on a metallic suit or if its skin it kind oflooked like crinkled aluminum foil, but soft. I stated in speaking about itsince then, he looked as if he had no bone structure, but kind of like octopustentacles would appear soft like that. Very large oval eyes. I have never everseen anything like it until at one point several years ago, I saw WhitleyStrieber's book cover on Communion, and that alien being, that face, was thefirst I had seen not exactly the same, but fairly close. Larger head. Thedark oval eyes. Large eyes. It didn't really have a nose. It looked like twolittle dots, like someone had taken a pencil. and marked two dots. I don'trecall the mouth. It was more as if you took a knife and slit across. No lips,nothing like that.
I can't recall the feet because I never could hardly get past those eyes. I dorecall it had a small framed body. The arms were much longer than our arms.Their hands I don't know how many fingers it had exactly, but I do recallthat it was not formed like our hand. But there were less fingers and muchlonger.
DO I UNDERSTAND THAT THE MEN ON EITHER SIDE OF THIS NON-HUMAN WERE NOT DRESSEDIN MILITARY UNIFORMS?
Oh, absolutely not. They were there before the military got there.
WHO DO YOU THINK THEY WERE?
They were local people. The photograph itself was in a rural field-like countrysetting. In other words, it was grass that is grown up, or wheat or whateverhappened to be in the field. I remember there being a large tree in one area ofit. There were no other people who were visible. There were two men, one oneach side, that were holding the alien up. Each one of them had one hand underthe armpit and then had hold of the arm further out, not quite reaching thewrist, but fairly close.
AS IF DEMONSTRATING HOW LONG THE ARMS WERE, AS WELL?
I think so, because they went completely across their bodies and were stillextended further out.
The alien, I don't know how to describe it exactly other than to say itactually did not look like it had on clothes, but there were no physical maleor female features. And it looked crinkled, kind of shiny, if you will, as ifit could have been aluminum foil and crinkled. So, I don't know if that was asuit or his skin, but it covered every part of him. You couldn't see seams orbuttons or anything like that.
WHAT ABOUT THE NECK AND THE HEAD? WERE THEY COVERED AS WELL?
No, they were out just normal. As I said, the eyes were looked just huge ovalwith blackness. No expression.
NO EXPRESSION. WHEN YOU SAY AN OVAL, IT COULD BE VERTICAL IN THE FACE ORHORIZONTAL OR SLANTED. DO YOU REMEMBER IF THOSE EYES WERE SITTING HORIZONTAL,VERTICAL OR SLANTED?
Vertical, up and down.
I SEE, VERTICAL OVALS.
Yes. And two little dots for what I would have called a nose and a slit for themouth.
AND NO EARS?
I don't remember no, no ears like we have ears. I can't say he had ears, no.I couldn't see a side view of where the ear might have been, so I don't know ifhe would have had the same little dots like for the nose. I don't know. But no,not ears like ours at all.
IF THIS CRINKLY PART THAT SEEMED TO BE SORT OF METALLIC LIKE CRINKLED TINFOILWENT UP TO THE NECK AND THE FACE, BUT DID NOT COVER THE NECK AND FACE?
It did not actually that's why I say it's hard to know what you were lookingat because there was no seam. It wasn't like if you have a suit and there is acollar with a seam. It just blended or moved into. I don't know how else todescribe it.
DID THE NECK AND FACE COLOR IN THE B&W PHOTO SEEM TO BE SIMILAR TO THECOLOR YOU WERE SEEING AS CRINKLED TINFOIL OR WAS IT DARKER OR LIGHTER?
Being a B&W photograph, it's hard to distinguish. No, it was not darker. Ifanything, lighter.
WITH THE DARK OVAL EYES. AND IN TERMS OF THE FACE, HOW BIG DO YOU THINK THOSEOVALS WERE IN TERMS OF THE AREA THEY COVERED IN THE FACE?
Most of its face.
AT THE ENDS OF THOSE VERY LONG ARMS, WHAT CAN YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THE HANDS?
I do remember as if he had I don't remember seeing more than 3 fingers andthey were very, very long, much longer than ours. I don't recall seeing anyfingernails, but I can't swear to that because I was so taken with the face.But I do know he did not have 5 digits. That I can tell you. It seemed to bemore like three and they were quite elongated and both hands were the same.
DOWN THE LEGS TO THE FEET?
I don't it's odd. I don't recall seeing his feet. I just was too taken withthe face. I noted that he was, I know he had legs. But I can't describe thefeet for you at all. I'm sorry, but I just didn't focus on them.
OK. DID YOUR GRANDFATHER SAY THAT HE KNEW THAT THIS BEING WAS DEAD IN THISPICTURE WITH THESE TWO CIVILIANS HOLDING IT? OR WAS THAT AN ASSUMPTION THAT WASMADE?
No, because he I think the picture was taken while he was ministering to theone who he said still seemed to be taking short breaths. And so, the other twowere several said dead on impact. So, he knew it was one of those that thepicture was taken of. How he came about he wasn't aware that that picture hadbeen taken. But someone came to the house, this gentleman came to the house twoweeks later and he seemed, Grandmother said, 'Very, very frightened.' And hewanted someone that he trusted to have a copy. Hew felt like someone shouldhave a copy of the picture and he asked grandfather if he would take it and hedid. So, that's how we came about to even having it."
Military Arrives and Orders Secrecy in the Interest of National Security
While this was taking place, all of a sudden, military just showed up,surrounded, and overran the place. Grandfather was taken aside as were severalof them and they were told that they had not seen what had taken place, that itwas high security as far as the government (was concerned) national security.So, they weren't to speak of it.
Nowadays, we probably wouldn't (obey). But in that day and time, if you said tomy grandfather, 'This is about our country and this is important and it will bedetrimental.' He truly never did speak of it again to our knowledge.
So, I think they (military) scared some of them much more than it did mygrandfather. My grandfather seemed to be more shaken with the fact that therewere alien beings. But anyway, they (military) dispersed them. Grandfather camehome. That would have been that, except one of the men, a photographers hadtaken I guess a personal camera one of his own in addition to hisprofessional newspaper camera. He had taken some pictures. That was the one Ilater saw.
THIS WAS OF TWO CIVILIANS OR FIRE WORKERS ...
No, they were not fire workers. They were definitely two civilian peopleholding up one of the deceased aliens.
THE BEING WAS DEFINITELY DECEASED?
This one, yes.
AND YET IT HAD ITS EYES OPEN?
The eyes appeared just yes, they did. I don't know if they have eyelids. Idon't know. I can only tell you what I saw. I can't explain it. I don't try. Idon't want to tamper with it. I just give the account that was given to me. Theeyes were very visible.
DID YOU EVER HEAR ANY DETAILS ABOUT WHETHER YOUR GRANDFATHER COULD SMELL ODORFROM THE BEING, COULD FEEL TEMPERATURE, COULD HEAR ANY SOUNDS OR HAD ANY MENTALIMPRESSIONS AS HE BENT OVER THE LIVE BEING TO DO PRAYERS?
I don't think any of that in that kind of order was ever discussed. So, I don'tknow about smell. He did say about the breathing, that's why he believed him(alien) not deceased. There were a few short, shallow breaths. He did mentionthat. I can only say that grandmother said he was forever changed by it. He wasa southern Baptist minister for 40 years of his life, but he became much lessrigid, much more accepting of unexplained things after that. Now, that wasrelayed to me through my grandmother and my father. But none of the other thatyou speak of, I'm sorry to say.
WHERE DID THE MILITARY TAKE THE CRAFT AND THOSE BODIES?
We never heard anything else after grandfather came home and gave his account.There was never anything else mentioned.
BUT IF IT HAPPENED IN
Well, I would have thought that until the last few years in finding out what Ihave about our government and our news media. If you can keep the bomb that wasdropped on Hiroshima a secret with the number of people involved and the numberof people who worked on that, then I'm convinced they can keep, they can reallyquell a story if they desire to. And I think it wasn't just their ability, buthow it was presented to the people and how they accepted that responsibility atthe time. I don't believe it was covered in the newspaper as what it actuallywas. I don't know if you went back and traced the papers if there would be amention of a plane crash or I don't know because granddad knew it hadhappened. He didn't need proof for himself and he wasn't going to talk aboutit. And my dad just didn't go after the facts. I'm not sure you have to bekind of a researcher to know how you do that and I just don't know that heknew. I guess it's just if you have seen the picture, and we had that, wedidn't need any proof and we weren't, my intent has never been I'm not out toprove anything to anybody. I can't answer all the questions correctly. I canonly give the account of the picture I saw and what was related to me."- Genealogical Research / Southeast

East Texans Shares "Family Secret" Of UFO Sighting
"I was not a big UFO person, didn't know much about it other than my ownexperience." Sitting in her
It was April, 1941 in
According to the story, 3 alien bodies lay on the ground next to the spaceship;two already dead. "However, granddad said the third one when he got tohim, he was breathing very shallow and so he did pray with him. He did expireas he was on his knees praying for him. He then went to the other two andprayed over them."
Quickly, the scene was covered with military personnel and Reverend Huffman wassworn to secrecy.
But the enormity of what he had witnessed was too much for a man. The shock onhis face told what his words, at first, did not. Then after gaining theirpromise, he shared with his family what had happened. "Granddad was aquiet man to begin with but grandmother said the look on his face wasdifferent," says
A few weeks after the UFO crash, Reverend Huffman was given a picture takenthat night by a local photographer. "He felt like someone else besideshimself should have a copy and granddad was the only one he trusted. So he gavehim a copy of the picture. So I had seen that picture all growing up."Charlotte goes on to say, "You couldn't see those big eyes and not beaffected. It wasn't anything I had ever seen."
That picture went missing years ago after her grandfather loaned it to afriend, who never returned it. But seeing that picture and knowing theintegrity of her grandfather,
"We got validation by going to the archives in
But
Charlotte's story is one of many involving UFO's and she's quick to point out,it won't be the last, saying the next extraterrestrial visit is not far away."I don't think that's a thing of the future. I just think we're going tosee more of it and Stephenville is just the beginning of it happening everywhere.I think there will always be things that we are not aware of but we shouldalways keep an open mind for possibilities."
