Nobody Remembers Malmstrom Air Force Base and UFO’s
Nobody Remembers
“Yes, your father and I saw a UFO. We were driving one night just for a ride, and we saw it over some fields.” said my mother. She was in her nightgown, and I had been sitting on her bed as I often did at night…and so I said to her, “So, you tell me NOW? ” She was in her late seventies.
This from a lady who never told a lie in her life.
UFOs—- I don’t remember how we got on the subject, but while I’ve never seen one, there is no denying that millions of people all over the planet have. That doesn’t mean, aliens are watching us and flying around every night (Frankly, I’d skip this planet if I were them.) but, today, I thought it would be fun to rehash at least one UFO that they just couldn’t explain away.
The time: March 16, 1967. The place: Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana. The man who tells the story was Robert Salas, who was in the underground command center that day.
The reason this is important, is that this base had ICBMS, which comprise 1/3 of the nuclear triad: Underground missile bases, Nuclear Submarines, and B-52s packing.
There were two complete flights, Echo and Oscar involved. Each flight controlled ten ICBM’s. (Intercontinental ballistic missiles.)
The first incident occurred at the Echo Flight site. At 8.30 in the morning, one by one, each of the missiles went offline. (They cannot be launched). All ten went down. Power had NOT been lost. Now, for even one missile to go offline is very rare, but all ten at once?
Almost impossible.
The Deputy crew member said that he received a call from the security personnel who were above ground. The guard said that a UFO had been hovering over the launch site. Of course, down below, they didn’t believe him. BUT…Two security alert teams also reported that they had seen UFO’s (more than one) hovering over two of the sites.
That same morning, at Oscar Flight where Bob Salas was, before dawn, the Airmen above saw UFO’s maneuvering in the sky. They said they would streak across the sky, stop, change direction, then return to a position overhead. They told Bob, but he didn’t think much of it.
Then Bob got another call–it was the NCO who reported that there was a UFO hovering at the front gate, and requested instructions. Bob went to tell Lieutenant Fred Meiwald, but the alarm went off, because within a few seconds 8 of the ten Oscar Flight missiles went offline.
At least 16 missiles went offline, something that had never happened before, and has not happened since. Of course, there was no simple way to put them all BACK online with a switch.
It took the whole day to fix it.
An extensive investigation by a Boeing technical representative said there WAS no reason for that to happen. Only an EMP could do it, but the size of the equipment would have had to be very large and put right next to the silo.
I got this story out of a book by John B. Alexander, Ph.D.–called UFO’s: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities. John was a Green Beret, a colonel when he retired from the Army: A project manager at Los Alamos, a member of studies of nonlethal weapons conducted by NATO, a consultant to the National Intelligence Council, the CIA, U.S. Special Operations Command, and the Army Science Board. Pretty impressive resume.
(And why do we have a community organizer as a President? Anybody?)
In most of his book John argues about how the government really isn’t trying to hide anything, his reasoning being, all government officials are greedy. They would have to put big money into it, and nobody in ANY department wants to give up their cut of the pie.
He interviewed every man that was there that day, and they all have the same story and they are sticking to it. Either it happened just like they said: Or some bigwig goofed up and everyone was given a cover-up story.
We’ll never know…but I believe it happened, because I listened to Bob Salas tell in in this video.
Tell me that man is lying.
So, why did my mother wait until she was in her seventies to tell me she saw a UFO? Probably for the same reason most people do. Why mention it? People will think you’re crazy.
But my mother AND Ronald Reagan, two of my most favorite people, both said the same thing–they had seen one—I believe them.
And I must admit, I’m a bit envious that my mother got to see such a wonder. And if they do exit, let’s hope they are hovering over all the silos.
That would be such a nice thought..wouldn’t it?
Do YOU Believe in UFO’s?
Nobody Knows
–If we are being visited by aliens from other planets, although, Steven Spielberg has made some great movies pondering it. Carl Sagan thought it was almost an impossibility for life on other planets NOT to exist, and if you apply all the laws that we know to the universe, he is right.
But, if you have never seen a UFO, you want proof. (Show me the Starstuff!) David J. Eicher, the Editor- in- Chief of Astronomy Magazine had this to say in the Huffington Post:
In this day and age we are awash in a sea of information overload — much of it good and much more of it utter nonsense. It pervades TV, social media, and cellphones. Much of it panders to people’s faint wishes rather than sticking to the facts, and nowhere is this better illustrated than the garbage pseudoscience programs catering to UFO enthusiasts.
He goes on to point out that space is just TOO big for any life forms to get here…and yet, there have been many a reliable person that HAS seen UFO…and gone on to tell about it. Jimmy Carter, saw one, and while many do not like his politics, he did have a degree in nuclear physics. In fact, thousands of people all over the world swear they have seen one…do we just dismiss them?
My parents said they saw one, driving home one night from a friend’s house.
I grew up believing my brother was an alien from another planet, because he once said he saw one land back in the woods behind our house in Florida…and sure enough, he took me to see the sight, and sure enough, the plants and sand were burnt where he said he saw it land. After that, I was convinced they had come before and impregnated my mother with my brother and just came back every few years to check up on him. No human could get by with as much as he did, unless his name was Ferris Bueller.
(He really didn’t start looking like my dad until he was 45.)
But, David forgets something: UFO’s have been around long before TV, Cellphones, and the internet. All over the world, from the time man has been able to write, he has reported seeing UFO’s. :
91 BC, Umbria, Rome, Italy: “Near Spoletium a gold-colored fireball rolled down to the ground, increased in size: seemed to move off the ground toward the east and was big enough to blot out the sun.”
12 BC: China: “In the first year of the Yuen yen period, at the 4th Moon, between 3pm and 5pm, a meteor appeared, the front part the size of a vase over 100 feet long. It’s light was red whitish. It stood far to the SE of the sun. It threw off fiery sparks on four sides, some as large as a pail, others the size of an egg. They fell like rain. This phenomenon lasted until the evening
187 Rome, Italy: “We read in Herodian that in the time of Commodus stars were seen all the day long, and that some stretched in length, hanging as it were in the midst of the air, which was a token of a cloud not kindled but driven together: .
And let’s not forget Ezekiel of the Bible, who said he was taken away by some wheels in the sky…
It’s all too familiar. There are literally HUNDREDS of sightings of UFO’s recorded by various people in all the countries of the world, long before Christ was born, and all throughout history..that nobody talks about. One guy even wrote a book about it: Wonders in the Sky, Jacques Vallee.
Nobody Thinks that David is right about one thing, lots of people are having a lot of fun…running around hyping about UFO’s.
But on the other hand, I think to say that just because space is so vast, nobody would come here to visit us, is a simple rationalization from a simple mind. He has no proof, therefore it isn’t real.
Imagine what a caveman would have thought if he saw a modern plane land near his cave? No caveman alive would have ever imagined putting 300 people on a plane in the air. David would have been the caveman saying, “You people must know that man can’t fly! Remember when Beelzebub fell off the cliff?”
And I’m not sure Aliens would want to visit us…unless we were on the menu.
Remember when Obama said:
“YOU DIDN”T BUILD THAT!”
He was really talking about the pyramids.
So…let’s be honest: Nobody really Know if the aliens are just watching us but …in the meantime, why not imagine it?
It would be foolish not to.
