Cash-Landrum Incident, Witnesses Suffer Radiation Injuries After Encounter

Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum, and Vickie's grandson Colby encountered a diamond-shaped object emitting intense heat while driving near Huffman, Texas. All three suffered symptoms consistent with radiation exposure, including burns, nausea, hair loss, and eye swelling. Betty Cash was hospitalised multiple times in the weeks that followed. The witnesses also reported seeing military helicopters, later identified as CH-47 Chinooks, surrounding the object. Cash and Landrum filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government, which was dismissed when the government denied any involvement. The case remains one of the few UFO encounters with documented medical evidence of physical harm.
