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?
