Default RE: Spread spectrum problems, anyone?

I used to trust the DX-systems to 100%, but unfortunately had one strange experience recently.
Was on a road trip in Nevada, made a stop at this beautiful Pyramid lake located inside a Indian reservation to fly my modded Stryker.
Everything was fine until I, after a slow low altitude passage, first heard the motor stop, then realized that I didn't have any control over the plane at all...???
All communication with the plane was lost...
I had to helplessly see my Stryker slowly turn right and go out over the lake and SPLASH... )(*#% &)_@ %^#$%
It was however a quite nice 400 meters swim out to the innocent looking Stryker floating out there like a silly duck~~~
Everything survived, radio ESC etc... No explanation possible at this state.
I wonder what happen?
