Hastings, 'UFOs and Nukes'
Robert Hastings's collection of testimony from former US Air Force personnel describing UFO activity at nuclear weapons sites, including Malmstrom AFB in Montana.
2008 CE · 47.50, -111.18 · status: disputed
The account
Hastings interviewed missile officers and security staff who described objects hovering near launch facilities, sometimes coinciding with missiles going offline, and argued that the phenomenon shows a specific interest in nuclear weapons. The theme has since been echoed in congressional briefings.
The sceptical view
Most testimony was given decades after the events; the 1967 missile shutdowns at Malmstrom have documented engineering explanations, and some witnesses' memories conflict with records.
