Washington D.C.: Holt sisters claim crashed craft & creatures

Hintergrund Around 1939, Rev. Turner Hamilton Holt, cousin of US Secretary of State Cordell Hull, allegedly viewed a damaged round vehicle and containers holding small entities in a secure storage area beneath the US Capitol in Washington, D.C. Holt shared this privately with his daughters before public UFO interest emerged.

Zeugen und Berichte Lucile Holt and Allene Holt independently recalled their father's account during his time as minister at Shenandoah Christian Church in Greenwich, Ohio, prior to 1947. The entities were under four feet tall, near silvery metallic debris from a disassembled craft. Allene's daughter Eloise G. Watson and researcher William E. Jones documented the claims in 2001-2002.

Beweise und Untersuchungen Capitol curator confirmed a sub-basement existed then, though altered since. No records in Hull's memoirs or papers support it. Story surfaced via 1999 letter to UFO Studies Center, predating Roswell by years.

Bedeutung This pre-WWII tale suggests early recovery of non-human craft/bodies, challenging modern UFO timelines, yet lacks corroboration.
