The Night the Nukes Went Dark

On March 16, 1967, something appeared over Malmstrom Air Force Base and accomplished the impossible—it disabled 10 nuclear missiles simultaneously. The weapons were designed to be unhackable. Yet something shut them down while a UFO hovered overhead.

The Base

Malmstrom AFB:

• Great Falls, Montana
• Strategic Air Command
• Nuclear missiles
• Minuteman ICBMs
• National security

The Night

March 16, 1967:

• Early morning
• Security alert
• UFO reported
• Then catastrophe
• Missiles offline

The Missiles

What went down:

• 10 Minuteman ICBMs
• Simultaneously
• All went to “no-go”
• Full flight offline
• Unprecedented

The Witnesses

Who saw UFO:

• Security guards
• Multiple personnel
• Reported UFO
• Over launch sites
• Same time as shutdown

Captain Robert Salas

Key witness:

• Missile officer
• On duty that night
• Underground capsule
• Received reports
• Missiles failed

The Impossible

Why significant:

• Hardened systems
• EMP resistant
• Independent circuits
• Simultaneous failure
• Should be impossible

The Security Guards

Outside reports:

• Saw glowing object
• Red/orange light
• Hovering
• Over front gate
• Reported immediately

The Sequence

What happened:

• UFO reported
• Commander informed
• Missiles failed
• One by one
• All ten down

The Investigation

Air Force response:

• Boeing examined
• No explanation found
• No hardware failure
• No software failure
• Unexplained

Official Denial

What happened:

• Classified incident
• Never publicly acknowledged
• Witnesses silenced
• Records sealed
• Cover-up

Robert Hastings

Researcher:

• Investigated for decades
• Collected testimonies
• Multiple witnesses
• Wrote book
• Exposed case

Other Incidents

Pattern exists:

• Multiple bases
• Multiple nations
• UFOs and nukes
• Consistent connection
• Not isolated

Echo Flight

Same month:

• Another flight
• Ten more missiles
• Same shutdown
• Same UFO reports
• Pattern clear

Soviet Reports

Not just US:

• USSR reported same
• Nuclear sites
• UFO interference
• Global phenomenon
• Both superpowers

The Implications

What it means:

• Technology beyond ours
• Interest in nukes
• Ability to disable
• Warning?
• Monitoring?

Disclosure Efforts

Witnesses speak:

• National Press Club
• 2010 event
• Officers testified
• Public record
• Still denied

The Message

What they showed:

• Can disable nukes
• At will
• Any time
• Serious capability
• Clear demonstration

Air Force Position

Official stance:

• Didn’t happen
• No records exist
• Witnesses mistaken
• Case closed
• Despite evidence

Significance

10 nuclear missiles simultaneously disabled while UFO hovered overhead, witnessed by military personnel.

Legacy

Malmstrom proved that something takes an interest in our nuclear weapons—and demonstrated the ability to disable them at will, a message humanity has yet to understand.
