Loring AFB Intrusions
Unknown objects penetrated the airspace of this nuclear weapons storage facility on multiple nights. Jets were scrambled but could not intercept the craft that hovered near the weapons storage area.
Nuclear Base Intrusions
In late October 1975, Loring Air Force Base in Maine—a Strategic Air Command installation with nuclear weapons—experienced multiple nights of UFO intrusions. Unknown craft penetrated restricted airspace and hovered near weapons storage areas.
The Base
Loring AFB:
- Limestone, Maine
- Strategic Air Command
- B-52 bomber base
- Nuclear weapons storage
- High security
The Pattern
Multiple nights:
- October 27-31, 1975
- Repeated intrusions
- Similar objects
- Same areas
- Ongoing penetration
First Night
October 27, 1975:
- Unknown craft detected
- Penetrated restricted airspace
- Approached weapons area
- Security response
- Unable to intercept
The Objects
What was observed:
- Elongated craft
- Bright lights
- Hovering capability

- Government concern
Significance
UFOs penetrating nuclear weapons facilities and evading military response—a pattern repeated across multiple bases.
Legacy
The Loring AFB intrusions, documented in declassified files, demonstrate that unknown objects with advanced capabilities showed deliberate interest in America’s nuclear arsenal.
