The Malmstrom AFB UFO Incident

On March 16, 1967, ten nuclear-armed Minuteman ICBMs at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana simultaneously went offline as security personnel reported UFOs hovering over the missile silos. The incident remains one of the most significant UFO-nuclear weapon connections.

The Encounter

Security teams reported a glowing red object moving silently over the missile facility. As the object passed over individual silos, the missiles went into a “No-Go” condition, meaning they could not be launched. Multiple objects were observed.

The Malfunction

Captain Robert Salas was on duty when the missiles failed. He and his crew could find no explanation for the simultaneous shutdown of ten missiles. Boeing engineers later investigated and found no technical cause.

The Pattern

This was not the first such incident. UFOs had been seen near nuclear facilities before, and similar missile shutdowns had occurred. The pattern suggested deliberate interference with nuclear weapons.

The Testimony

Multiple personnel, including Salas and other officers, have testified publicly about the incident. They have pressed for government disclosure. The Air Force has confirmed the missile shutdowns but not the UFO presence.

Assessment

The Malmstrom incident suggests that whoever operates UFOs has the capability and interest to interfere with nuclear weapons. The implications for national security are profound. The incident remains officially unexplained.
