The Encounter

Robert Hastings is a prominent UFO researcher. He interviewed two retired Air Force air traffic controllers in 2007 about a UFO sighting at Bentwaters in December 1980. The controllers, Ike Barker and Jim Cary, reported tracking a UFO on radar. They saw it move quickly across the radar screen, make sharp turns, and change direction. One controller described the object as having an orangish color with lights that resembled portholes. They noted the object's speed and maneuverability were unlike any known aircraft. The encounter had a connection to nuclear weapons storage at the base. After the encounter, the controllers felt the need to share their experiences, highlighting the lack of official records on the event.
