Dr Mitchell further states sources who had contact with occupants described the creatures as "little people who look strange to us" like the popular culture image [gray with short stature, slight frame, large eyes, and large head].

How the CIA Views the UFO Phenomenon
By Victor Marchetti
SECOND LOOK, Vol. 1, No. 7, May '79
My theory is that we have, indeed, been contacted perhaps visited by extraterrestrial beings, and that the U.S. Government, in collusion with other national powers of the Earth, is determined to keep this information from the general public.
There were, however, rumors at high levels of the CIA...rumors of unexplained sightings by qualified observers, of strange signals being received by the National Security Agency, and of little-gray-men whose ships had crashed,...
Holt Family History Secrets
Margaret Gramly speaks with her Mother, Allene Holt Gramly, and Aunt, Lucille Holt Andrew, about a family secret. Reverend Turner Hamilton Holt, father and grandfather, confided in his daughters about a secret Washington, D.C. meeting with Cordell Hull, Reverend Holt's cousin and Secretary of State to Franklin D. Roosevelt. According to the respected minister, Cordell Hull escorted the Reverend to the Capitol sub-baseemnt where the debris of an unidentified crash retrieval remained hidden from public view.

His first career was as an officer in the U.S. Air Force, where he served as a transport navigator, Strategic Air Command missile crew commander, Air Force Academy professor, and weapon system project manager.
In response to an inquiry about unidentified crashes, Dr. Baker responds:
First off, I would say that anything is possible in such matters. Anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves.
But as far as any sort of flying wing involvement, I know of none, and I believe it would be unlikely. The big wings did not exist at that time--they did not fly until 1946 and 1947--and even if they had existed, they were way too big and way too distinctive to hide. When they ultimately did crash--one in 1948 and another in 1950--their demise was national news.
Which would leave some of the smaller, fighter-sized wings, which did exist in 1940 and after. But all of those are accounted for, even the then-secret ones, and in any event they were kept on pretty short leashes: they rarely left their southern California desert environs.

Len Stringfield had told Charlette Mann's story but would not tell anybody where she was.
Some few years after his death, I asked Len's wife if she would provide contact information. She refused. She was saving Len's files for a grandchild who might be interested at some time in the future.
I started with the church in Cape Girardeau and eventually located people who had known Reverend Huffman, a copy of his obituary and then Charlette herself. She was most cooperative.
I also managed, with considerable effort, to locate the person to whom Charlette's father had loaned the picture that her grandfather had taken of the being. He was quite a mysterious guy. I passed that information to Ryan Wood who spoke with him in New Mexico.
Charlette has been filmed. I have no good reason, now, to doubt her story.

Huffman Family History Secrets
Charlette Mann speaks of the secret Grandfather Reverend William Huffman shared with family. One spring Cape Girardeau evening in 1941, the Reverend received a call for assistance. Upon arrival to a crash site "13-15 miles or so" outside of Cape Girardeau, the Reverend found something extraordinary. The local military personnel on site swore all to secrecy because the object was of unknown origin. It was, according to the respected Baptist Reverend, a downed space ship–an alleged UFO.
www.seekingmoinfo.com seeks information that will help to clarify various family history narratives that include Franklin D. Roosevelt era covert unidentified crash retrieval (UFO).

Lucille continued to work full time teaching piano and voice until her death. Lucille strongly believed she and her sister had an obligation to fulfill their father's request to make information about the Capitol sub-basement known long after he and Cordell were gone.
"We can be thankful that she took the time to write CUFOS as that allowed us to document the story as we know it so far. We owe Lucille our gratitude for opening up an important avenue of investigation into the history of this country’s handling of the UFO mystery".
