Bonsoir,

Voilà le petit chapitre 31 (pp 183 à 186) du livre de John Schuessler "The Cash Landrum Incident", intitulé Rapports intéressants
mais non confirmés sur des hélicoptères "Unconfirmed but interesting reports of helicopters" .

------------------------
Unconfirmed but interesting reports of helicopters

A lot of people have come forward with reports of helicopter activity that may be related to this incident. Some said they
"believed" they saw helicopters that night, but could not be sure. Others were sure it was the same night, but they did not want
their names used in conjunction with their reports. Situations like this are always frustrating to the investigator and to the
victims; however, the wishes of the witnesses must be respected.

One unconfirmed, but interesting report came from a co-worker in the aerospace business. An employee of AVSCOM, the Army facility in
St. Louis, Missouri, related the following information about the failed raid into Iran to rescue the hostages. He said they used
H-53 helicopters on the raid rather than CH-47s because the Chinooks didn't have the Omega system installed.

The CH-47s were the Army's first choice for the mission and were flown on parallel missions in the United States during the training
period an during the mission in Iran.They were flying between Fort Carson, Colorado, and Fort Campbell in Kentucky. They flew at
night and at very low levels during the month of December 1980. He cited "possible" otherlong distance flights in Texas, but was
afraid to say much more.Tom Adams, an excellent UFO investigator, writing his own publication known as Stigmata, issue No. 19, told
of related information he had obtained from a military person. The following is an exact quote from Tom's report:

Project Stigma has a source in the military community whom we shall call "Victor." While being normally stationed in a particular
area, Victor periodically visited yet another military base in the U.S. during 1989. While at this second base, he was contacted by
another military man ("Tony") who had sought to meet Victor, knowing of the latter's interest in UFOs. He wanted to tell Victor of
an experience he had had while stationed at Fort Hood, Texas in December of 1980. While Tony related his story, Victor closely
observed his facial expressions and noted every nuance in his tone and manner of speaking. Victor felt that Tony was being sincere.
Tony was a helicopter pilot at Fort Hood. Between Christmas and the end of 1980, there was a "special alert." The helicopter pilots
(not known how many participated, other than Tony) did not know where they would be going - that once they reached the general area,
they would he vectored in. They were told they would see an "unusual aircraft" there - that their mission was to "cover" this craft
and try to force it to land by keeping it at a low altitude. Once the craft landed, they were to "mark" the spot, radio in, and wait
for "other people" to move in. The choppers would then be dismissed to return to their base.

Tony told Victor that the whole operation happened so suddenly that he was "halfdrunk" when he took off from Fort Hood, but that
what he saw later sobered him up. They reached the area in question and Tony saw a craft he described as "the biggest damndest
diamond he ever saw in his life." As the choppers flew over the top of the object, trying to "hold it down," it was "throwing off
sparks like a 4th of July sparkler." Sometimes the sparks would hit the ground; sometimes they would appear to burn out before
hitting the ground. The craft began to move off and the choppers followed it for 7 to 10 miles. As they were following it, it
stopped throwing off sparks and started to "glow." The craft then became stationary again. At that moment, the choppers received
word that they were to abort the mission and "return to their various bases" (i.e., they had come from more than one base). Later,
the Fort Hood personnel who had been involved in the mission were re-assigned. Tony ended up in Germany.

After their arrival back at Fort Hood, everyone was debriefed. They were told that what they had encountered was an "experimental
aircraft" that had gone astray outside of its flight pattern and had started to "experience problems." It was crucial to insure that
no one [civilians] got too close to it. Not all of the choppers were CH-47 "Chinooks;" some were UH-1 "Hueys," which is what Tony
was piloting. The Chinooks had "contact teams" in them. If the craft had crashed or set down,
these "contact teams" were to go down and secure the area. From what Tony had understood, there had been 4 contact teams.Tony
couldn't verify the total number of choppers [23?] since they had come from different bases. Tony had no idea what the "diamond
object" really was. They were told they would be vectored into the location; but then they would have to "go visual" because the
object they were looking for would be flying below radar. Apparently, thought Tony, whatever malfunction had occurred on board the
strange craft, it was corrected. Tony said he had kept his mouth shut about this incident, and nothing untoward had happened to him
since then. He felt that Victor would be interested in the story, but Tony advised he should keep his mouth shut about it, as well.
