The Encounter
The person involved is First Lieutenant Robert Salas, who was stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana in March 1967. While on duty, he received a call from a frightened security guard reporting strange red-orange lights hovering above the base. The guard described the lights as huge and pulsating. Shortly after, multiple nuclear missiles went from alert status to shutdown. Salas and his commander investigated the situation, confirming that the lights were seen by other personnel and on radar. The incident raised concerns about UFOs interacting with nuclear weapons. After the encounter, Salas felt there was a deliberate attempt to discredit his story and expressed ongoing concern about the connection between UFOs and nuclear security.

In March of 1967, while on duty at Malmstrom Air Force Base, I received a call from a frightened topside guard reporting unidentified flying objects, glowing red lights hovering above the base, which appeared to interact with the nuclear weapons.
Between September of 1966 and March of 1967, we lost 30 missiles to UFO activity.
The Wall Street Journal published a hit piece attempting to discredit my account, claiming that an experimental non-nuclear EMP was responsible for the missile shutdowns, despite evidence showing that the model cited was not operational in 1967.
