A former US Air Force missile launch officer has claimed that UFOs disabled 20 nuclear missiles at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana over an eight-day period in March 1967. Robert Salas, now 85, said that the Minuteman I intercontinental ballistic missiles were rendered inoperable by an unknown force that bypassed all shielding.
Salas, who was inside an underground launch control capsule during the Cold War, recounted that on March 16 and 24, 1967, security guards reported seeing strange, fast-moving lights in the sky that could stop, hover, and emit a bright red glow. Shortly after, the missiles went offline. The guards were convinced the craft were not Soviet aircraft.
Speaking on the Danny Jones Podcast, Salas said he believes intelligent non-human civilisations visited Earth to prevent a nuclear war. 'It's another civilisation out there that is visiting us and are concerned about us destroying this planet through nuclear war,' he claimed.
An investigation by Boeing could not determine how the missiles were disabled. Salas noted that the cabling system was triply shielded against electromagnetic interference, yet the signal somehow reached each missile. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations ordered Salas and his commander to sign non-disclosure agreements, but he went public decades later after reading about a similar incident.
