Episode #27: 1941 Timeline Twist & The Cape Girardeau UFO Crash

5/29/2024: On today’s episode, Valerie’s 1941 Timeline Twist presents  an astounding Lindy Hop dance clip from the 1941 musical comedy Hellzapoppin’, a failed two act operetta about famed lumberjack Paul Bunyan, how to feed a mess (hall) of people for Thanksgiving, “Over There!”, and the account of a fortuitous meeting in an L.A. pub that resulted in the Moscow Mule. Amy Jo covers the eerie story, cover up, and supposed photographic evidence of the Cape Girardeau UFO Crash in the Spring of 1941 (six years ahead of the widely famous Roswell incident) when Reverend William Huffman was called to the site of a “plane crash” to minister to the wounded and was so astonished by what he saw he “never spoke of it again” - that is until he spilled it to his family that very night.
