Cash-Landrum Case of 1981 (UFO)

Friday, August 14, 2026 • Duration 18:03

Brittany Barbieri explores the Cash-Landrum incident, a compelling 1980 UFO case from Huffman, Texas.

Despite investigations by the FAA, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, and NASA, no government involvement was ever confirmed.
