The Cash-Landrum incident: two women and a child injured by a craft

not stated, United States

Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.

What was reported

Recommending John Schuessler's book on the Cash-Landrum incident, Hind sets aside the question of whether the object was an American military exercise or a craft from outer space. What matters to her is that two women and a child were dangerously injured by coming too close to it, suffering hair loss, eye damage, skin eruptions and, in the end, cancer, and that their claims for compensation could not even get considered. She asks how far the damage has to go before anyone sits up and takes notice, echoing her own two-issue series on UAP effects.

What Hind made of it

Whether military exercise or spacecraft is not the point; the injuries were real and nobody took responsibility.

Explanation offered
Hind mentions the possibility of an American military exercise rather than a craft from outer space.

In their words

  • How far does the damage have to go before anyone sits up and notices?
