The Storm That Stole Breath From The Healthy A federal lawsuit in 1981 was literally burned through, with a black circular scorch mark melted into a Texas highway cut out and paved over before investigators could photograph it. Three people saw what made that mark, but only one, a seven-year-old boy, is still alive today, searching for an answer no government agency will provide. What happened on that rural highway on December 29, 1980? In this episode, we revisit the night a diamond-shaped object hovered 100 feet ahead of a stopped car, shooting fire into the pavement beneath it. Explore the testimony of Betty Cash, Vicky Landrum, and Colby Landrum, and the strange events that followed, including the appearance of military-style helicopters escorting the craft. If no military operation occurred that night, what burned those three people?
