For starters, there are Air Force bases nearby, and based on witness descriptions, they look exactly like the kind the military uses.

Plus, who else could it be?

Who else owns that many helicopters?

John reaches out to all the military bases in Texas.

but they deny any involvement in the incident.

In fact, they act like they have no idea what he's talking about, but like John is just some weirdo talking nonsense, which is a hard pill to swallow because John's sitting there with three people who have documented health problems, which seem to have a direct one-to-one connection with this military style event that seven other people also saw.

and the best the military can do is shrug and say, sorry, not us, can't help you.

Even if they're telling the truth and it wasn't them, shouldn't the government know if 20-something foreign craft suddenly entered their airspace?

His Vicki Landrum tells the newspapers, if the government really doesn't know anything about it, they'd better find out.

Now, John's investigation continues for months and eventually years.

He's dedicated to helping Betty and the Landrums.

But unfortunately, he doesn't make a whole lot of progress.

It's just more obstacles.

Turns out, getting medical professionals to speak publicly about health complications caused by an apparent UFO encounter proves nearly impossible.

The Texas Department of Health eventually decides to test the area where the incident occurred for radiation, but according to their representatives, their equipment doesn't register anything.

which might not be surprising by the time they investigate, it's been almost nine months since the UFO sighting.

And even if they acted sooner, there are certain types of radiation that don't always leave traces like ultraviolet and infrared light.

At some point, John tries to build out his case by hiring a private pilot to fly over the area and take pictures.

But before the photos can be developed and studied, the pilot's home gets broken into and his camera is stolen with the undeveloped film inside.

That could be a total coincidence, right?
