The Day a UFO launched a U.S. Nuclear Missile
In a new interview, Robert Hastings—author of the acclaimed UFO and Nukes—explains how UFOs nearly sparked a nuclear holocaust on U.S. soil and were still interfering with nuclear missiles in 2010
Robert Hastings is one of the most respected author regarding military encounter with advanced platforms. In a new interview with psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove, he demonstrated not only the utmost failure of the US defence to address the violation of its airspace by platforms technologically superior, but its inability to protect its nuclear assets from being activated by unknown craft hovering above Minot AFB missile sites.
In 2007, I interviewed a former Air Force, I believe he was retired, Air Force missile launch officer named Captain David Shuur
He was at a place called Echo, flight. It was a group of 10 Minuteman nuclear missiles
He was in the underground launch capsule when suddenly he got a call from his security guard, one of them at ground level, saying that this fully luminous disk-shaped object was maneuvering above one of the missile sites.
No sooner had he gotten that message down on his launch console in the capsule, that missile's light lit up, what's called launch-in-progress light, and to all intents and purposes, it appeared that missile was launching.
Many people interested in UFOs hope that they are the solution to the world's problems. This mindset can easily lead individuals to join UFO cults with dramatic consequences. Furthermore, facts seem to disprove any benevolent intent from those commanding them.
There are no records of UFOs sending food, stopping wars, or evacuating people before tsunamis hit. New Age seers who claim to predict the arrival of UFOs to save the world fail to acknowledge the lack of evidence supporting their goodwill. Even when considering close encounters, the transmitted messages point to humanity's responsibility for exploiting nature, but make no reference to human pain and needs. On the contrary, many close encounters seem traumatic, both psychologically and physically.
Conspiracy theories flourish, linking UFO sightings to nuclear disaster sites and claiming that the UFOs are there to remove the radiation and heal the environment, yet it seems sites are still contaminated to this day.
Who really saved the world from a nuclear apocalypse?
Captain Shuur flipped what's called an inhibit switch and stopped that progression to countdown.
Imagine how the USSR would have reacted during the height of the Cold War if it had detected the launch of 15 to 150 nuclear missiles from Minot Air Force Base. What if Captain Shuur had been affected by a DEW like the one used on Maurice Masse a few years earlier, which prevented him from moving?
Shuur’s testimony is very similar to another one:
There is another former launch officer who was at Minot during the same time frame, his name's Larry Manross, former captain, and he has confirmed that the same thing happened in his capsule, but because neither Shuur nor Manross could remember the exact date, we couldn't really correlate whether that was the same event or two different events.
The most intriguing part of the interview came at the end.
The last case that I investigated occurred in October 2010 at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming.
In October 23rd of 2010, the Atlantic website had a dramatic story based on leaked information that five of these MAFs, missile alert facilities, suddenly could not communicate with F.E. Warren Air Force Base, meaning that if, God forbid, there had been an order to launch their missiles at that time, they could not have gotten their order through normal channels.
These two missile maintenance technicians were out in the field addressing this communication issue. And both of them reported seeing what was described as a huge cigar shaped object flying in the sky above the missile field when these technical issues were cropping up.
If the same problem has affected nuclear missiles for the past 60 years, what does that say about the protection of US citizens?
According to AARO’s historical report:
Like all historical UAP cases, very little actionable data exists beyond limited firsthand narrative accounts. Nevertheless, AARO continues to investigate these cases due to the sensitive nature of these events potentially impacting the readiness of the U.S. nuclear program.
Readers interested in more information can find them in Hastings’ book.
At the time of writing, the Department of Defense didn’t comment on the issue.
