The Encounter

Daniel Gibson is a retired Air Force major who had a UFO sighting in the fall of 1995 while stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana. He was on a KC-135 aircraft conducting mid-air refueling for B-1B bombers. While enjoying the Aurora Borealis, he and his crew saw a very bright light that descended into the Aurora and then shot straight up. They observed its speed and movement, concluding it was not a star or planet. The object displayed unusual characteristics like instantaneous acceleration and hypersonic velocity. After the sighting, 10 nuclear warheads at the base were inexplicably turned off. This experience led Gibson to believe there is a connection between UFOs and nuclear technology.
