1967 Malmstrom AFB Anomalies: Echo and Oscar Flights, Missile Shutdowns, and the UFO Testimony Debate

To the point

Two separate Malmstrom Air Force Base incidents in March 1967—Echo Flight’s ten missiles going No-Go and Oscar Flight’s missiles going offline after reports of a large glowing object—are at the center of a debate between an official record that treats the shutdown as a real operational anomaly and eyewitness accounts by Robert L. Salas, Robert C. Jamison, Dwynne C. Arneson, and Walter Figel who say a UFO was linked to the events, a claim that remains controversial because public sensor data and imagery are inconclusive.
