Captain Robert Salas was on duty in Montana in 1967 when a UFO shut down the nuclear missiles on his base. And he's hardly the only one to make such a claim. On Monday, six former U.S. Air Force officers and one former enlisted man will break their silence about similar events at the National Press Club, all centering around unidentified flying objects and nuclear missiles. They plan to urge the government to publicly confirm the incidents, stating that they were ordered never to discuss the events. "We're talking about unidentified flying objects, as simple as that," Salas told FoxNews.com. "They're often known as UFOs, you could call them that," he added. Salas, a former U.S. Air Force nuclear missile launch officer, will host the event along with researcher Robert Hastings, author of "UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites. According to the pair, witness testimony from more than 120 former or retired military personnel points to an ongoing and alarming intervention by unidentified aerial objects at nuclear weapons sites, as recently as 2003. In some cases, several nuclear missiles simultaneously and inexplicably malfunctioned while a disc-shaped object silently hovered nearby. "I was on duty when an object came over and hovered directly over the site," Salas said, regarding the March 16, 1967, event at Malmstrom AFB in Montana. "The missiles shut down, 10 Minuteman missiles. And the same thing happened at another site a week later," he said. Are they evidence of unknown military action from a foreign country, or are these extraterrestrial visitors? Salas thinks the answer is clear -- and finds it curious that they're so interested in our nuclear arsenal. "There's a strong interest [in our missiles] by these objects, wherever they come from. I personally think they're not from planet Earth." Another participant, retired Col. Charles Halt, observed a disc-shaped object directing beams of light down into the RAF Bentwaters airbase in England and heard on the radio that they landed in the nuclear weapons storage area. Both men claim the Air Force warned them never to disclose details of the events. "The U.S. Air Force is lying about the national security implications of unidentified aerial objects at nuclear bases and we can prove it," Salas said. Col. Halt adds, "I believe that the security services of both the United States and the United Kingdom have attempted -- both then and now -- to subvert the significance of what occurred at RAF Bentwaters by the use of well-practiced methods of disinformation." The group plans to distribute declassified U.S. government documents at the event that they claim will substantiate the reality of UFO activity at nuclear weapons sites extending back to 1948. The press conference will also address present-day concerns about the abuse of government secrecy as well as the ongoing threat of nuclear weapons. "This is only the tip of the iceberg, these stories," Salas told FoxNews.com.

So they're going to disobey orders and spill their guts to the mainstream as a public service. Forgive me. I smell the concoction of a campaign of mental conditioning in the works here. I approach all assertions having to do with "UFO's" with extreme prejudice. The manifestation of extraterrestrial intelligence is a subject that excites the imagination in strange and powerful ways, and one in which the state holds all of the cards as it purports to have most of the corroborating evidence in its voluminous collection of data on the topic. The military works hand in glove with Hollywood and has all the masters of illusion in its pay. The moment one of its officers opens his lips, I am braced to hear the latest gem of disinformation the Pentagon has crafted for us.
I've seen them, in daylight and within 1/2 mile. Believe me or not, your choice. But I dont know who was flying them, or where they came from, and I wont guess. .
I'll accept your assertion on its face. You saw an "unidentified flying object." Was it of "alien" manufacture?
I wouldn't even guess. But they were silent, and they flew like they were rocks skipping on water, bouncing up nad down. And there was no formation. It was just a group. They were at low level, maybe at most 500', there were about 6 or 7, I saw them coming in from the north. It happened on I-8 in AZ in daylight, they flew at about 300 mph, north to south and from the front and side they looked like F-16 sized frisbees. There were no vertical surfaces. They did not react to me in any way that I could tell. They deliberately flew right in front of me. If they had shifted course they could have flown behind me and I'd have never known that they were there. No one would have seen them since I had the road to myself. I-8 isn't that heavily traveled. And now, you know as much about them as I do. .
The one I saw from about 1/4 mi. away was moving at about 10 mph from my right to left, east to west. The strangest part to me was that it was like a slight/moderately "out of focus" photo. No really sharp definition. Absolutely NO noise or sound of any kind. I'm a private pilot, and know enough about aerodynamics to know there was no normal lift in place, so the lack of sound eliminates Thrust from anything/source still known.

Yeah. That's what stuck out to me too. No sound. And I know what sound to expect from being around military craft. I dont know what to say about yours being out of focus. That requires speculation. Mine were easy to see and very physical. .
