Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum, and Landrum's grandson Colby reported a diamond-shaped object emitting flame and heat over a country road outside Houston, accompanied — according to the witnesses — by twenty-three CH-47 Chinook helicopters. Cash and Landrum subsequently developed symptoms consistent with acute radiation sickness. Their lawsuit against the U.S. government was dismissed because no U.S. military or NASA asset matching the description could be identified.
