What do you think about this?
It was the night of December 29, 1980, on a deserted road outside Huffman, Texas. Betty Cash, her friend Vickie Landrum, and Vickie’s seven year old grandson Colby were driving home from dinner. They saw a light in the distance that grew into a diamond shaped craft hovering low over the road, fire shooting from its base, the air around it shimmering with heat.
They got out of the car. Betty Cash got close enough to the thing that her car door handle was hot enough to leave a burn through her glove.
Then the helicopters came. Twenty three of them, Chinooks the women later identified by sight, flying in formation around the craft as if escorting it away.
Within hours, all three of them were sick. Burns on the skin. Hair falling out. Blistering. Eyes swollen shut. Betty Cash spent twelve days in the hospital. Doctors documented their symptoms as consistent with acute radiation poisoning.
They sued the United States government for $20 million. The case went to federal court in Houston in 1986. The court did not deny they had been injured. It dismissed the case because the women could not prove the craft belonged to the US government, which the government also refused to confirm or deny.
The medical records exist. The court ruling exists. The twenty three helicopters were tracked by witnesses across multiple counties.
Could it be the United States had a craft in the air that night so secret it was worth letting three civilians get burned by it rather than admit it ever existed?
What do you think about this? In 1715 a hurricane sank eleven Spanish treasure ships off Florida. In 2015 divers pulled up $4.5 million in gold coins from just 15 feet of water. The Queen’s jewels have never been found. Gone forever, or waiting for the right storm?
What do you think about this? Today is the equinox, and at Chichén Itzá a serpent of light will crawl down a pyramid built with 365 steps. Clap at its base and the echo chirps like the sacred quetzal bird. Brilliant engineering, or knowledge from somewhere older?
What do you think about this? Scans of Gunung Padang in Indonesia show hidden chambers deep inside the hill, and one team dated its oldest layers to 25,000 years ago. The study was retracted in 2024. The chambers have never been opened. Natural hill, or the oldest pyramid on Earth?
What do you think about this? Edgar Cayce gave over 14,000 trance readings, all written down and still on file. He said proof of Atlantis would rise near Bimini in 1968. That year divers found a half mile road of giant stone blocks there. True seer, or lucky guess?
What do you think about this? Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Kentucky built a 500 foot tunnel just to move its dead out of sight of the living. It closed in 1961. Visitors still report a boy rolling a ball across empty floors. Restless spirits, or a dark building playing tricks on the mind?
What do you think about this? In 1891, a poor French priest named Bérenger Saunière began tearing up his church floor, then spent the next two decades funding lavish buildings on a stipend that should not have covered it. Real treasure, or a secret about how he ran his church?
