The Kraken Lives!

I think this mission may be doomed as the Kraken eats my pod when it touches where the ground should be less than 30 seconds after that screenie was taken. Wonder which mods is causing this...I'll remove some and find out... Note that the view in the screenie should be looking down at the ground. This was a night landing attempt on Kerbin with a target of KSC's Pad. The clouds on the opposite side of Kerbin are clearly seen, as is Kerbol. Then there's that blue glowing sphere in what is likely the center of Kerbin...

I've had that happen a couple of times this week. Kerbin just disappears while landing.

Thing is, if I zoom out far enough, a lower res version of itis there (probably the Level Of Detail used in orbit or from farther away).

I had the Same Issue ;/

Oh, I had the Blue Hole Of Death appear. I was parachuting down to the ocean, and there it was. I landed safely, though.

If it makes you feel any better, those kerbals were delicious.

I don't care about the Kerbals, but you ate my Science!

Same here and I'm 100% stock. Seems to happen on interplanetary returns when aerobraking hard into Kerbin. The landing looks fine until about 3000m (or was it 10,000m? I don't remember), then the ground disappears revealing blackness and a blue dot underneath you. Command module then explodes at 0 altitude even though I was going 6 m/s with 3 radial parachutes.

Ive seen this happen all over the place, yet I can't get it to happen to me!

For this mission, I'd returned from the Mun, gotten myself into a stable LKO of ~72km x 72km, then used MJ to land at KSC. I've never had this issue before, and I've done plenty of Mun, Minmus, and interplanetary missions in previous versions of KSP.

I thought it was something to do with the mod that adds the clouds (remembering names is too easy); it just makes the ground invisible occasionally (as you do). It shouldn't be a problem; the ground should still be there; just quit to menu and reload your save; if not restart the game.

If its still not working, you'll need to 'clean' your PC with a small nuclear device.

If it actually kills your ship, that's a kraken attack, which is caused by something different; refer to the point above for the solution to this problem.
