Malmstrom 1967 Missile Shutdown: Salas's Alleged Alien Intervention and the Unexplained Event
To the point
Robert Salas, a former US Air Force missile officer, says that in 1967 at Malmstrom Air Force Base intelligent non-humans caused 10 ICBMs to go offline, with strange lights hovering over the base and signals disrupting guidance, guards reporting a pulsating red light from a UFO above the front gate, incursion lights activating and personnel signing strict non-disclosure agreements; a Boeing investigation could not identify a plausible mechanical cause and instead attributed the shutdown to an external electromagnetic signal affecting the guidance and control systems, and Salas says he spoke out after encountering a similar case in a publicly available UFO book, leaving the question of whether aliens saved Earth from a nuclear disaster unresolved and contested.
