Burned by a UFO: The Cash-Landrum Incident

On a December night in 1980, three witnesses — including a young child — encountered a low-flying, diamond-shaped craft over a rural Texas road, followed immediately by a formation of military helicopters. Within days, all three developed symptoms consistent with acute radiation exposure, prompting one of the only formal lawsuits ever filed against the U.S. government over a UFO encounter. This episode reconstructs the incident using documented testimony, medical records, and still-classified government documents to ask what, exactly, was recovered from that night.
