UFO's Buzz Nukes

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 Ben****ers 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 Ben****ers 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.
