The UFO Bombshell Before Roswell: Missouri's 1941 Crash and Cover-Up
In 1941, a presumed airplane crash changed history. Immediately after, the US government covered it up. This thrilling book reveals the truth of America's early contact with aliens.
There are plenty of books about the 1947 extraterrestrial encounter at Roswell, New Mexico. But only this one uncovers the full story of the UFO crash at Cape Girardeau, Missouri—six years before Roswell.
Paul Blake Smith reveals how and why this crash was covered up—and where they took the evidence. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt knew about it. Harry S. Truman—Missouri senator at the time—knew about it. Did Albert Einstein know about it, too? Did the alien technology culled from the crash help refine the atomic bomb? This book presents meticulous research, historical documents, and thrilling witness accounts so you can decide what really happened that night.

Review of advance copy received from Edelweiss+
There is a lot out there about aliens and the Roswell crash, but what about the crash and subsequent cover-up six years earlier in Cape Girardeau, Missouri? This book explores that event and how many people knew about what was found there, how it was covered up, and whether they used some of that technology in building the A Bombs used in Japan. The author explores all aspects of the cover-up and has done a lot of research on this event. He even has some witness accounts and has found documents to back up his theories.
While I am not so sure about the truth of aliens coming to Earth, I found this book interesting, as that time period interests me, and I used to live not too far from Cape Girardeau. This is not the author's first book on the subject, and while I am not so sure I will go back and read the others, I did find this one entertaining.
