He's keeping eye on close encounters

Grayden Jones - The Spokesman-Review

**

He's seen the radiation burns and hair fall out. He's documented
the paralysis and fried corneas.

In more than 400 cases, John Schuessler has recorded evidence of
physical injury by people who claimed they have had close
encounters with unidentified flying objects.

"It can happen to anyone at any time," said Schuessler, deputy
director of the San Antonio, Texas-based Mutual UFO Network Inc.
(MUFON). "Most people are apathetic about UFOs, but when it
happens to them, it changes their life."

Schuessler, who lives in Littleton, Colo., is in Spokane this
weekend to hold private meetings with members of MUFON, an
organization that tracks and researches UFO incidents. The local
chapter has 18 members.

The retired Boeing engineer is considered the nation's expert in
the dramatic case of Betty Cash and Vickie and Colby Landrum,
two Texas women and a grandson who in 1980 claimed they were
nearly killed by radiation from an object that hovered over
their Oldsmobile Cutlass.

Schuessler rejects any suggestion that bug-eyed, bulb-headed
aliens are communing with humans. He's convinced that the long
list of physical injuries are proof that something other than
hallucinations are behind many UFO sightings reported each year.

Nine out of 10 UFO reports are bogus and can be explained by
science, Schuessler said.

Schuessler said he spent 16 years researching his book, "The
Cash-Landrum UFO Incident." He concluded that a diamond-shaped
object with power and mobility not known on Earth scorched the
Texas women. Federal officials have attempted to cover up the
incident, Schuessler said, denying any knowledge of military
helicopters that witnesses said were tracking the object.

Jerry Rolwes, director of MUFON in Spokane, said that since 1994
there have been 10 documented cases of UFOs across the Inland
Northwest. One of the most spectacular occurred in early 1996
when a Sagle, Idaho, woman, her teenage daughter and two
Sandpoint police officers witnessed an unexplained, bright
object over a lake.

"I've never witnessed a UFO," Schuessler said, "but it intrigues
the heck out of me."
