The Encounter
Robert Salas was a captain in the Air Force stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in 1967. On March 16, he received calls from his security guard about strange lights in the sky. Initially dismissive, he later learned that a glowing red object was hovering outside the base. As he reported this to his commander, multiple nuclear missiles went into a no-go condition, meaning they could not be launched. This incident coincided with a similar event at another flight where all missiles were lost. Salas and his team were never debriefed about the incident, and he believes it had a significant impact on the personnel involved, leading to ongoing concerns and investigations into the matter.
