Cash-Landrum in the News
The dramatic (and possibly ultimately deadly) UFO encounter of December 1980 near Houston, Texas that is known in some quarters as the “Cash-Landrum Affair” is one of the more intriguing on record.
To some, the case is evidence that the U.S. Government has a quick-reaction project on-hand designed to recover either crashed or malfunctioning UFOs. For others, the incident is prime evidence that the military was test-flying an advanced, prototype vehicle (and possibly nuclear-powered) that went catastrophically out of control and inadvertently led to the tragic deaths of key players in the saga.
Whatever the truth of the matter, with the anniversary of the event looming on the horizon, it’s once again in the news.

I remember hearing about this case for the first time, when seeing an episode of “That’s Incredible!” on mexican t.v. In the show they performed an hypnotic regression on Vickie, and I was very impressed with the enmotional reactions she had when reliving the experience.
What was particularly moving was that, at first Vickie tried to rationalize the experience through her christian beliefs, trying to comfort her grandson by telling him that the misterious radiating object was Christ. In the end it is revolting to think these people were left without any assistance from the government and their health suffered greatly from something they didn’t chose to happen.
Maybe what angers me more is that I too would have gotten out of the car…

I completely remember that episode of that’s incredible, and it scared the daylights out of me. She said something like “if a big man gets out of that rocket ship, it’s just jesus, honey.” Honestly, I can barely imagine a more terrifying scenario.
When I saw Star Trek First Contact–and the Vulcan steps out of the ship after warp drive is engaged, it’s all very messiah-like and I flashed back to that imagery I got from that’s incredible. There’s something kind of archetypal about it all.

I have been told that the craft was indeed a nuclear-powered craft that ran into trouble. It supposedly was flown by two pilots using video monitors, which unexpectedly went out, leaving the pilots blind to their surroundings.
Of course, I have no way to prove this!
If I remember correctly, Peter Gersten was hired to be their lawyer to sue the gov’t for damages, but he advised them to refuse a payoff in order to force disclosure on the subject. The Air Force rescinded their offer and later denied having made any such offer.

So Greg, the Air Force DID offer them money in the first place?

Very interesting Greg and thanks for sharing- I’d never heard that. The helicopters lead me to believe that it was a experimental aircraft- one of ours. I’m certain something happened.
