What was reported
Hind opens UAP Effects Part II with the best-known radiation case. In December 1980 two women and a child stopped their car when a diamond-shaped object hovered in front of them, climbed out and stood in its heat and light for several minutes. They afterwards suffered severe burns, blistering, hair loss and vomiting and were hospitalised; Betty Cash later underwent breast-cancer surgery and never recovered her health. Although about 23 helicopters were seen circling the object, and a police patrol officer and his wife independently reported military helicopters that night, the US government denied involvement and refused compensation.
What Hind made of it
A terrible ordeal; used as the benchmark for radiation injury from a UAP.
Explanation offered
US government claimed it was not involved
