for decades the government has told us
UFOs aren't real for decades they've
called it
misidentifications hoaxes or just
overactive imaginations but what if I
told you there's a timeline a hidden
history of UFO encounters that stretches
back farther than Roswell a decades long
pattern of sightings crashes and
coverups that has shaped the world
without us even realizing it this is not
just one story this is an entire series
dedicated to uncovering the truth
incident by incident Case by case
because the evidence is out there it
always has been and it might have
started on a quiet night in
1941 welcome to Divergent files the UFO
encounters miniseries
[Music]
if you think UFO history begins with
Roswell think again long before the term
Flying Saucer even existed before the
government started officially denying
everything there was a crash one that
most people have never even heard of a
pastor called to perform last rights a
wreckage that wasn't from this world and
a coverup so complete that the world
never even knew it
happened this is Cape Gerardo
1941 and this might be the moment the
UFO coverup Playbook was first written
let's
[Music]
begin it was a calm spring night in 1941
when Reverend William Huffman received
an urgent call
an accident had occurred just outside
Cape jardo Missouri as a man of Faith he
assumed he was being called to give
final prayers for a dying soul but when
he arrived what he saw wasn't anything
he was prepared for instead of a car
wreck Huffman found a strange metallic
craft seamless and disc-shaped partially
buried in the earth military personnel
were already swarming the area but the
real shock came when he saw the bodies
they weren't human according to later
accounts from Huffman's family the
beings were small with oversized heads
and large black eyes their features were
eerily similar to the gray aliens that
would later become infamous in abduction
stories but this was
1941 decades before those descriptions
became mainstream Huffman was sworn to
secrecy the wreckage was taken away and
that was supposed to be the end of it
but here's the thing about Secrets they
don't stay buried
forever years later Huffman's family
leaked what they knew and his
granddaughter recalled seeing a
mysterious photo one her grandfather
allegedly brought home from that night
it showed a lifeless humanoid creature
being held up by men in uniform but just
as quickly as it surfaced the photo
disappeared so here's the million-dollar
question was this the first first real
UFO crash in American history and if so
did this event set the stage for the
government's policy of denial and
coverups that would
[Music]
follow this wasn't just another strange
sighting this was the first time we see
a fullscale military intervention to
suppress an extraterrestrial encounter
before Roswell before project Bluebook
before any of it and if they were
covering things up this early how many
more stories were wiped from history
before we even had the chance to ask
questions oh sure they lost the only
known photo of an alien corpse what a
shocker look at this point I'm 90%
convinced the government's top secret
archives are just a warehouse full of
conveniently missing evidence either
that or they really really hate filing
paperwork and this this was just the
beginning because if Cape jardo was the
first then Roswell that was the
explosion that forced the world to start
paying attention and in our next episode
we're diving into the moment UFOs went
mainstream the crash that changed
[Applause]
