According to a captain in the US Air Force, a UFO attack purportedly destroyed weaponry on a nuclear missile station he was working on more than 50 years ago. The Air Force Captain said in a statement to National Geographic, that the incident was kept secret from the public.
Retired US Air Force captain Robert Salas shared his story of the incident where his nuclear missile site was supposedly “attacked by a UFO,” saying that it occurred more than 50 years ago, specifically on March 24, 1967.
He claims that the base had ten nuclear missiles at that time.
The close encounter reportedly left the guards on duty “frightened,” “screaming,” and “babbling.”
UFO attack: His team was overseeing a Malmstrom base in Montana when they noticed eight orange-colored lights over the base
In an interview with National Geographic for its UFO series, Salas alleged that the US government hid the incident.
According to Express UK, the former Air Force Captain and his team were overseeing a Malmstrom base in Montana when they noticed eight orange-colored lights over the base.
He said, “Sometime in the evening hours, I get a call from the main guard upstairs. He tells me that there are strange lights flying upon the facility.”
“I kind of dismissed it. I even said: ‘You mean like UFOs?’ About five minutes later, he calls back, and he is screaming.” “When I hung up the phone, I thought we were under attack. By who or what, I had no idea and we had bells and whistles going off in our control room. We could see the lights going from green to red all across the board, meaning the missiles were inoperable.”
He asserts that despite the probable compromise of a sizeable section of the US nuclear arsenal, no inquiry was carried out and that he and his colleagues were forced to sign documents and oaths of silence.
Salas claims that a UFO investigation was first opened into the occurrence. The US Air Force ended its UFO inquiry three years after the terrifying encounter, claiming that no documented sightings had ever posed a threat.
