UFOs have monitored and possibly tampered with American nuclear weapons, according to a group of former Air Force officers who will make their claims public next week at a Washington, D.C., news conference.
“While most of the incidents apparently involved mere surveillance, in a few cases, a significant number of nuclear missiles suddenly and simultaneously malfunctioned, just as USAF security policemen reported seeing disc-shaped craft hovering nearby,” says Robert Hastings, author of “UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites.”
On Monday, at the National Press Club, Hastings will present six former Air Force personnel who will break their silence and disclose dramatic first-hand experiences with UFOs at nuclear weapons sites.
In a statement, Hastings said, “At long last, all of these witnesses are coming forward to say that, as unbelievable as it may seem to some, UFOs have long monitored and sometimes tampered with our nukes.”
Hastings’ co-host for the news conference, ICBM launch officer Capt. Robert Salas, was witness to a UFO incident in 1967 that, he says, caused a missile disruption at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, and he was ordered to keep quiet about it.
“The Air Force is lying about the national security implications of unidentified aerial objects at nuclear bases, and we can prove it,” Salas said.
Another officer scheduled to appear at Monday’s conference, Col. Charles Halt, witnessed a disc-shaped object shooting beams of light onto the joint Anglo/American RAF Bentwaters airbase in England in 1980. The lights were reportedly near the base’s nuclear weapons storage area.
“I believe that the security services of both the United States and the United Kingdom have attempted — both then and now — to subvert the significance of what occurred at RAF Bentwaters by the use of well-practiced methods of disinformation.”
Along with the other officers who will be on hand to support this remarkable UFO agenda, Hastings says that he and the auspicious military group will discuss the national security implications of these and other UFO incidents, and they will urge the government to come clean about the subject.
In addition to declassified U.S. government documents that will be offered at the event, the group plans to address the following questions:
- Why do UFOs continue to appear at nuclear weapons sites, decade after decade?
- What might these incursions indicate about the intentions and goals of those who presumably pilot these craft?
- Why has the U.S. government chosen to keep the American public, and people everywhere, in the dark about these dramatic developments?

Dear Sir;
Your use of Robert Hastings or Robert Jamison or Robert Salas (two of Hastings’ ex-USAF personnel who support his claims of UFO interference with nuclear missiles in the United States) as believable sources of information is a mistake. You are basically placing your trust in a man who is a fraud, a liar, and a regular author of pure fiction, charges that have been repeatedly proven.
I’m quite satisfied that Robert Hastings is a liar and a fraud who shouldn’t be trusted in regard to anything, including what he had for breakfast this morning. As soon as you start questioning his witnesses, you find out almost immediately that they are either not willing to establish the claims that Hastings has made for them, or have nothing to say that qualifies as valid evidence. Hastings, aware finally that his witnesses can be tracked down and reinterviewed, is now using anonymous witnesses to validate his claims. He’s a fraud and a petty con-man trying to sell an idea, his book, and nothing more.
If you like, I can send you copies of multiple emails from Hastings that contain a number of absolute and easily proven lies. His conduct on and off the internet has been dishonest, highly offensive, and full of outright lies. He refuses point blank to answer any detailed questions in regard to his claims, part of the reason being the very well substantiated fact that his own witnesses in regard to those claims have, on occasion, accused him of lying, taking statements out of context, and refusing entirely to assert the claims of those witnesses, who have insisted repeatedly that no UFO was involved in that incident, no UFO was sighted, no UFO was reported, no UFO was investigated, and no UFO was ever thought to be involved by anyone in the chain of command. Even his methods for documenting the transcripts of telephone interviews have shown a deceptive streak, allowing him to hide the actual claims of such witnesses (see http://www.realityuncovered.net/blog/2011/08/strategic-editing/).
When his own witnesses consider him a fraud, something is going on, and it has nothing at all to do with honesty on his part. He’s even gone so far as to invent a number of medical publications and articles establishing a fictional association between epilepsy and violent mania for no other purpose then to raise the issue of credibility in reference to those who have established claims contrary to his own, and he did so without once refuting, explaining, accounting for, or, in some cases, even acknowledging the evidence presented. A man who fails to defend himself or his claims, merely attacking the credibility of his critics with disgusting insinuations and personal insults is not a man who can defend his assertions honestly. The fact that he refuses to even try is not necessarily a point in his favor.
Robert Hastings is a liar and a fraud, charges that have been proven … repeatedly.
His promotion of Robert Salas’ alleged experiences at Echo Flight and Oscar Flight in March 1967 as UFO related incidents are part of his habitual reliance on lies and subterfuge. There were no UFOs involved at Echo Flight at all, and the incident at Oscar Flight never even happened, and it doesn’t matter one whit what Salas and Hastings claim, because those claims are easily been proven lies. Both the commander and the deputy commander at Echo Flight on March 16, 1967 have repeatedly come forward to state that UFOs were not involved. They also insist, as do many dozens of other witnesses who were at Malmstrom AFB on the dates in question, that the incident at Oscar Flight never even occurred; in fact, there is no record anywhere suggesting that such an incident ever took place, and there has never been an attempt to declare such an incident until Robert Salas did so nearly forty years later.
The only thing people need to understand about sources of information like Robert Salas and Robert Hastings can be summed up quickly: if you can’t trust them to tell the truth, why would you listen to anything that they have to say?
I would recommend that if you are truly interested in understanding something about Salas’ or Hastings’ credibility, you go to the following URLs, where you can download at no cost a book and supporting articles discussing in some detail exactly how far they can be trusted:

http://www.realityuncovered.net/blog/2011/08/strategic-editing/
I would also recommend that you examine the numerous interviews and articles at the Reality Uncovered website: http://www.realityuncovered.net/ — many of the top articles referenced discuss the events at Echo Flight in March 1967, and include interviews with both the commander and the deputy commander at Echo Flight on March 16, 1967 when the missiles were taken offline by an electronic noise pulse, an incident that was thoroughly investigated and very well documented, contrary to what Hastings and Salas have always insisted.
It’s a sad thing indeed when the resources that so many consider to be so credible have refused to examine 90% of the evidence available, including over 80 pages of FOIA documentation, the statements repeatedly issued by the only actual witnesses at Echo Flight, the statements originating with Salas’ own crew commander during the alleged incident at Oscar Flight, and the statements of literally dozens of ex-missileers regarding the supposed event at Oscar Flight, including absolute and verified proof that no equipment failures occurred anywhere on Malmstrom AFB during the same period of the Oscar Flight failures insisted upon by both Salas and Hastings.
A lot information regarding this incident can also be found at the Reality Uncovered forum, in particular the Echo Flight Incident thread: http://www.realityuncovered.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1688&sid=fb3fd24f098c0f3bc35595ea1b41a146.
Tim Hebert, an ex-USAF missileer himself, has also written some enlightening articles regarding the case on his blog at: http://timhebert.blogspot.com/
Dr. David Clarke, for many years an accepted expert regarding the British military forces’ investigations of the UFO phenomenon, has also discussed this case in the context of the “UFO and Nukes” connection asserted by author Robert Hastings. You can read his article on the subject at http://drdavidclarke.blogspot.com/2010/11/flat-earth-nukes.html.
There is no doubt whatsoever that Hastings and Salas created this case for their own benefit. There were no UFOs involved — it is a lie, and nothing more. This doesn’t entirely negate their arguments in relation to these two events. If the witnesses both men have promoted — Col. Walt Figel and Col. Frederick Meiwald — actually told them what Hastings and Salas say they told them, it should be very easy to simply ask them to do so again, except write it down in a statement instead of using transcripts of telephone calls that both men have already and repeatedly refuted. This is a standard confirmatory process that Robert Hastings in particular has been extremely willing to establish with other witnesses. So why does he refuse to even discuss the matter where the Echo Flight witnesses are concerned? A written statement of the events that occurred and a willingness to respond to a very few clarifying questions immediately afterward is a time-honored test of one’s confirmation of an act or incident. It’s almost as if Hastings is afraid that a written statement will indeed call atention to his numerous flaws as an honest investigator of UFO phenomena.
These men are still alive, and I have already ascertained that they are willing to respond to enquiry regarding the events they participated in. I have, in fact, provided exactly that in regard to these silly UFO assertions. Given these points, why have Robert Salas and Robert Hastings refused to obtain from them a single, cohesive statement that resolves very plainly the questions asked, making clear those points they have been trying to establish for over 15 years? I would think that such an easy opportunity to not only establish their claims, but establish as well the honesty of their accounts and the honesty of the witnesses they have presented would be eagerly approached by someone who is actually telling the truth. Instead they’ve ignored every opportunity to establish their insistent assertions, and correct whatever doubts have been applied to the substance of their accounts.
The bottom line regarding their assertions is simple: they cannot be trusted to tell the truth, so why would anybody believe anything at all that they have to say? Both men have proven themselves to be dishonest, so any information regarding this issue that they are being paid to discuss should not be trusted. These men have told numerous lies to support their claims, and that should be taken into consideration whenever they present such doubtful claims as those they have repeatedly consigned to the public trough. In light of this, it isn’t even necessary to examine other cases that have originated with either man; if they have proven themselves to be unreliable and dishonest sources of information in one case, all other cases they’ve defined should be rejected in turn. Of course, this doesn’t concern any cases that have not originated with Hastings or Salas, and should not be applied to them. The doubt originates with their ethics and honesty, and can’t be applied to cases that have originated elsewhere.
Thank you,
James Carlson
