     Or so the debunker claims. Sheaffer’s latest attempt to explain away all UFO sightings as misidentifications of man-made aircraft or astronomical objects, including bright planets, focuses on the now-well-known Oscar Flight case at Malmstrom AFB, Montana, on March 24, 1967. That incident involved the mechanical failure of several Minuteman-I nuclear missiles occurring just as a large, glowing, disc-shaped object briefly hovered above the entrance to the Oscar Flight Launch Control Facility—according to one of the U.S. Air Force launch officers on alert that night.

Former U.S. Air Force Captain Robert Salas has stated that Air Force security police at the site were panicked by the UFO’s looming presence—the head guard estimated the object’s diameter at 30 to 40-feet—and one of them was physically injured during the encounter.

Decades later, in 1996, Salas finally located and telephoned the other launch officer who had been on alert during the incident, retired Colonel Frederick Meiwald, and tape recorded the conversation. An excerpt:

RS: I remember receiving a call first and the security guard said, ‘I’ve seen some UFOs up here flying around,’ and I said, ‘Ah, forget it.’ I didn’t believe him. I kinda hung up on him. And then, a little while later—I don’t know how long it was, maybe five, ten minutes, maybe longer—[he] called back and the guy sounded real scared and said there was [a UFO] just outside the front gate. And he also said, I recall, that one of the other guards had gotten injured in some way. I don’t think it was from the UFO; I think it was from trying to climb the fence or something like that. And then I hung up, or he hung up because he had to go—his guard got injured—and then I, I believe you were either getting up or I woke you up—and then some of our missiles started shutting down. Is that right?

FM: Uh huh.

RS: Is that about how you remember it?

FM: Right. We had security alarms and—

RS: Yeah.

FM: —and problems at a couple of the [missile] sites.

RS: Yeah, okay, okay. Well, I’m sure glad I found you. [Were there] any reports from the field about UFOs?

FM: I remember that two guards that we had [sent] out to one of the sites and finally got back scared to death and we had to relieve them of duty.

RS: Yeah. [Pause] Oh, you mean our guards?!

FM: Yeah.

RS: Oh, I [had forgotten] that.

FM: Yeah, a roving patrol type—

RS: Oh, I see—

FM: —and had gone out to one of the sites, the LFs, and on the way back they lost radio contact and we ended up having to send them back to the base early—I’m not sure what happened but I don’t think they ever returned to guard duty.

On May 6, 2011, an obviously uneasy Colonel Meiwald reluctantly elaborated on his earlier remarks to Salas during a taped telephone conversation with me, excerpted here:

FM: I know that Bob [Salas] has relayed what happened at Oscar very accurately...I think it would be best if I said no more.

RH: Okay. But you will at least confirm that there were reports from the Security Alert Team of a UFO at the LF they were out at, is that correct?

FM: Yes!

RH: Okay, and it was quite clear that object was saucer-shaped—or do you recall what the description was, other than it being a UFO or a flying saucer? Do you have any sense of what they reported to you?

FM: All I remember is a bright object; a bright, flying object at low-level. Beyond that, I can’t say.

RH: But they were terribly frightened by their experience?

FM: They were upset and were directed to come back to the LCF.

RH: Okay, and I believe you said in your letter [to Salas dated October 1, 1996] that they were so frightened that they actually had to go [back to Malmstrom] early; they couldn’t complete—

FM: Well, one man I know was directed to go back to the base, at least one of them was—

RH: Okay, and—

FM: —Whether or not they flew a special helicopter out there to get him or not, I don’t recall that, but I know that he did go back to the base a very upset individual.

Meiwald readily admitted to me that he had been on a rest break when the first UFO appeared at the launch control facility and the missiles began malfunctioning. However, once Salas woke him up, he was completely aware of, and involved in, subsequent events—including being sworn to secrecy about the incident:

RH: Okay. Do you remember, well, you’re willing to confirm, as Bob has said, that your debriefing was in the presence of an [Office of Special Investigations] agent? Is that correct?

FM: That did take place.

RH: And you were required to sign non-disclosure statements about the incident?

FM: Right.

In summary, the two officers who were on alert in the underground Oscar Flight Launch Control Center have confirmed a bona fide UFO-presence during the dramatic events occurring that night, as well as the terrified reaction of a number of security guards who actually saw the objects in the sky. Of course, none of these facts will sway debunker Robert Sheaffer whose observation-of-Mars hypothesis is offered as the most likely explanation for the incident.

Sheaffer writes, “A bright, glowing orange UFO is allegedly seen over the base by security men, and then the Oscar Flight missiles were said to start going off-line, one by one. So let's examine that specific claim. Guards reported seeing a bright glowing orange object in the sky...Whenever witnesses report a bright object in the sky that is red or orange, the first thing to check is whether Mars might have been the culprit. Mars only appears conspicuously bright from earth for a period of a few months every two years. Sure enough, this was one of those times. Mars was only about 3 weeks away from its opposition of April 15, 1967, when it would be directly opposite the sun, and at its maximum brightness until the next opposition 26 months later. It would rise a few hours after sunset, and remain in the sky the rest of the night. The guards were very likely looking at Mars.”

One can recreate the sky on the night of March 24/25, 1967 at www.fourmilab.ch. To see the rising of Mars above the SE horizon, input the latitude and longitude of the Oscar Flight Launch Control Facility, located just east of Roy, Montana (47-degrees N and 109-degrees W will be close enough) and set the Universal Time to 1967-03-25 4:38:00 (which is 1967-03-24 9:38:00 p.m. Local Time).

As the Earth rotated that night, the planet moved into the southern sky and then the southwestern sky before setting below the SW horizon around 1967-03-25 13:38:00 UT (or 6:38 a.m. Local).

In short, Mars traveled from the southeastern to the southern to the southwestern sky that night. Unfortunately for Sheaffer’s Mars-as-UFO theory, the guard who excitedly reported the large, glowing disc-shaped object to Salas on the telephone had to be looking NNW, which is where the launch control facility’s front gate was, relative to his assigned post in the Launch Control Support Building. Given that Mars was never visible in the northern sky at any time that night, it could not possibly account for the UFO sighting, despite Sheaffer’s claims to the contrary.

Once again, the frightened guard, who was screaming into the phone, had told Salas that the UFO was hovering just beyond the gate. Later, after the object left, he told Salas that it was 30 to 40-feet in diameter and that one of the guards was so terrified by its presence that he had apparently injured himself while climbing the barb-wire-topped security fence to get away.

I don’t plan to discuss at length the absurd notion that Mars, or any other planet, even at its brightest, could be mistaken for a 30 to 40-foot hovering disc-shaped object. Sheaffer and his ilk have always been able to engage in such reality-detached mental gymnastics—given their need to explain away the UFO phenomenon as misidentified prosaic objects at any cost—and nothing I can say will ever change that.

But what about the other UFO that was sighted by the frightened Security Alert Team as it hovered near one of the missile silos later that night? Could Mars have been the culprit in that instance, at least in the hopelessly biased mind of Sheaffer and those who think like him?

Given that Col. Meiwald has described the missile silo where the second UFO was observed as being “located just east of Highway 19”, only two sites qualify: Oscar-04 and Oscar-06. To travel between the launch control facility and either of these sites the two-man team would have first gone north on the LCF’s access road, then east on Route 191 until it intersected with Route 19. Oscar-04 is located just east of that junction, meaning that if the reported UFO was at that site, the panicky men would have been looking nearly due East when they were observing it.

But according to the astronomical data cited above, Mars was not in the Eastern sky at any time that night. And, even if it had been, the likelihood that the Red Planet would have thrown the security team into a panic, requiring actual hospitalization for one of the guards, is remote in the extreme. (Although Robert Sheaffer would probably argue otherwise.)

If, on the other hand, the object was above Oscar-06, the SAT team would have turned south onto Route 19 to reach it and the UFO would have appeared SSE of their position as they approached the launch facility. Hey, in this case, Mars may have actually appeared somewhere in the sky above the silo as they travelled toward it. But, again, the possibility that a bright planet was the cause of the team’s terror is highly unlikely, to say the least.

Significantly, Robert Sheaffer conveniently fails to mention is that another USAF veteran, former Captain Robert Jamison has substantiated Salas’ testimony regarding a UFO-related, full-flight shutdown at Oscar Flight. (Although Meiwald later recalled 6-8 missiles going off alert status, Salas has long said that he remembered all ten going down. In light of Jamison’s input, it appears that he was correct on this point.)

At the time of the incident, Jamison had been a Minuteman targeting officer who, along with other Combat Targeting Team members, was involved in retargeting the stricken missiles at Oscar Flight. He has said, repeatedly and on-camera, that his briefers told him and the other targeters that “UFOs had been messing with the missiles” before they left the base. Jamison provided all of this information to me during an interview in 1992, some three years before Salas went public with his own revelations.

Actually, as difficult as it will be for some people to accept, the event at Oscar Flight was not all that unusual. Thousands of declassified U.S. government documents refer to UFO activity at nuclear weapons sites—including laboratories, storage depots, test and deployment sites—extending back to December 1948. A small cross-section of those U.S. Air Force, FBI and CIA files may be reviewed at www.ufohastings.com/documents.

Over the past 41 years, I have located and interviewed more than 140 U.S. military veterans who were directly or indirectly involved in one or more of those cases, including incidents at nuclear missile sites where the ICBMs mysteriously malfunctioned just as a disc-shaped aerial craft hovered near them. Affidavits issued by some of those witnesses—including former Minuteman missile launch and targeting officers—are available at the link above.

On September 27, 2010, seven of the veterans discussed a few of these cases at the UFOs and Nukes press conference in Washington D.C., which CNN streamed live. (See below). The event was also covered, mostly favorably, by mainstream media all over the globe.

UFO debunkers have for years attempted to dismiss the reality of these incidents, often claiming that my book and articles on the subject merely present my “theory” about UFO incursions at nuclear weapons sites. Actually, all I have done is to accurately present the contents of the now-publicly-available documents and the tape recorded testimony of the military witnesses who were involved, all of which demonstrate—beyond a reasonable doubt—a pattern of ongoing UFO activity at nuclear weapons sites over the past six decades.

Robert Sheaffer cites other “evidence” in his article to support the claim that there was no UFO activity at Oscar Flight by quoting former USAF missileer and skeptic Tim Hebert. Even though Hebert was not present for the incident, or any of the other UFO events discussed by my many ex-missileer sources, he has concluded that the UFO-Nukes Connection is non-existent and that all of his former Air Force colleagues who have publicly discussed dramatic UFO incursions at one Strategic Air Command base or another during the Cold War are, at best, misguided.

Hebert also maintains that I have “used” these witnesses for my own allegedly nefarious purposes. I won’t repeat here what those former missileers have said about Hebert to me in confidence, but I recently “used” seven of those ex-military sources again, when I interviewed them for the documentary film I am currently producing. As I have previously mentioned in various articles, all of these gentlemen have repeatedly and profusely thanked me over the years for my dogged efforts to get the facts out, despite the resistance I have encountered in some quarters.

To support his skeptical argument regarding the Oscar Flight incident, Hebert cites the 341st Missile Wing’s official history, which makes no mention of it, as if the ICBM shutdown event never happened. However, both officers on alert that night have said that they were told by an OSI agent that their event was classified Secret. Still-classified material would never appear in a wing history. Hebert knows this, or should know it, so his distorted commentary is most curious. Given that this problematic fact doesn’t mesh with his own skeptical thesis, he has apparently decided to ignore it.

Sheaffer also cites as evidence the demonstrably false pronouncements of James Carlson, the notorious, wild-eyed debunker who has made it a point of calling me and Bob Salas “liars and frauds” hundreds of times in his blog posts. Carlson’s father, Eric, was at another missile flight, Echo, when those missiles shut down, on March 16, 1967, eight days prior to the Oscar Flight incident. James can’t abide the fact that Salas and I have his father’s former missile commander, retired Col. Walter Figel, admitting on audio tape that there was indeed a UFO reported to him during that incident.

Although Carlson incessantly misrepresents—that is, lies about—what Figel has said regarding the Echo Flight case, one may listen to Figel’s comments to me on the matter—including the serious nature of the initial sighting report, the corroboration of the presence of “a large, round object” hovering over an Echo missile silo by security teams sent out to assess the situation, and the debriefing that occurred afterwards when Figel and James’ father were told never to discuss the incident—all of which Robert Sheaffer carefully avoids mentioning in his article. A brief excerpt follows here:

RH: What was the demeanor of the guard you were talking to?

WF: Um, you know, I wouldn’t say panicked, or anything [like that]. I was thinking he was yanking my chain more than anything else.

RH:: But he seemed to be serious to you?

WF: He seemed to be serious and I wasn’t taking him seriously.

RH: Alright. If it was a large object, did he describe the shape of the object?

WF: He just said a large round object.

RH: Directly over the LF?

WF: Directly over the site.

When I telephoned the elder Carlson in October 2008, to discuss the incident, he denied knowing about any UFO reports at Echo Flight, something that elicited this response from Col. Figel when I brought it to his attention:

RH: Uh, did you discuss the report with Mr. Carlson—that you were being told that there was a UFO at one of the sites?

WF: Um, he could hear it, uh, I mean he was sitting right there, two feet away from me—

RH: So—

WF: Whatever I said, he would have heard.

Despite Eric Carlson’s now-untenable insistence that there were no reports of UFO activity at Echo that day, when I asked him why his son James is so clearly out-of-control when attacking me and Bob Salas, Eric candidly replied, “James has some problems”. Moreover, in another telephone conversation with a colleague of mine, also in October 2008, Eric expressed concern that James might “have a nervous breakdown”.

Indeed, a great many people have responded to James Carlson’s manic online rants about Echo and Oscar with astonishment, regardless of their position on UFOs. One of his strongest supporters once called him excitable, which is putting it mildly. Carlson’s behavior may be due to his epilepsy, a brain-related syndrome associated with abnormal psychological manifestations in many of its sufferers. (Google “Epilepsy and Mental Illness” to review scores of scientific papers on the subject).

Regardless, although Robert Sheaffer cites James Carlson as a reliable source of information on the Echo and Oscar Flight incidents, a careful review of Col. Walter Figel’s recorded comments about Echo and Col. Frederick Meiwald’s recorded comments about Oscar, will expose the utterly false nature of Carlson’s many claims.

In conclusion, Robert Sheaffer’s latest article will appeal to his usual audience—persons who have already decided that UFOs don’t exist and are unwilling to take the time to investigate the facts, in an objective manner, or to listen to the
testimony of witnesses directly involved in the most important cases, such as the ICBM-related incidents. No surprise there.

Meanwhile, I am happy to report, two documentary films on the subject of UFO activity at nuclear weapons sites will be out before the end of the year, as will the German and Spanish editions of my book UFOs and Nukes (the Portuguese edition was published in Brazil last October). In short, efforts to educate people everywhere about the reality of the UFO phenomenon’s link to nuclear weapons are proceeding nicely, thank you.

The Echo Flight UFO Incident: James Carlson is Still Wrong After All These Years

By Robert Hastings www.ufohastings.com 11-3-13

     Saying that the moon is made of green cheese doesn’t make it true, even if one repeats that claim over and over, hundreds of times, or finds a small band of like-minded believers who parrot the claim.

It’s not entirely clear why James Carlson continues to post countless comments online, denying the existence of UFO reports during the Echo Flight missile shutdown incident at Malmstrom AFB, Montana, on March 16, 1967, in the face of witness testimony to the contrary—including from one of the missile launch officers present that day.

Carlson knows about the tape recorded conversation (see below) between myself and now-retired Col. Walter Figel, the deputy missile commander at Echo during the incident, in which he told me that he had indeed received a radio call from a security guard at one of the Echo missile silos, saying that he was observing “a large, round object” hovering “directly over the site.”

Robert Hastings/Walt Figel Audio Interview Clip (2008)

Figel also confirmed that he had, in response to the call, sent out two Security Alert Teams to investigate the report and that at least one of them confirmed seeing the object hovering over the missile silo. Figel also said that he and James’ father, Captain Eric Carlson, had been debriefed back at Malmstrom and told not to talk about the incident.

While my recorded conversations with Col. Figel took place between 2008 and 2010, he had made nearly identical statements in another taped phone conversation,(see below) with former Minuteman missile launch officer Bob Salas, in 1996.

Robert Salas/Walt Figel Audio Interview Clip (1996)

There are other U.S. Air Force veterans who have also gone on the record about a UFO involvement in the Echo Flight incident, as well as a Boeing Corporation engineer, Robert Kaminski, whose job it was to find out why the missiles malfunctioned.

In 1997, in a letter to researcher Jim Klotz, Kaminski wrote that, “There were no significant failures, engineering data or findings that would explain how ten missiles were knocked off alert. In other words there was no technical explanation that could explain the event.”

Kaminski also wrote, “Meanwhile I was contacted by our representative at OOAMA [Office, Ogden Air Material Area], Don Peterson, and told by him that the incident was reported as being a UFO event—that a UFO was seen by some airmen over the Launch Control Facility at the time E-Flight went down.”

Actually, the large round object sighted by the missile guard and reported to launch officer Lt. Walter Figel, had been hovering over one of the Echo missile silos, not the launch control facility itself. Nevertheless, Boeing engineer Kaminski’s revealing testimony essentially confirms Figel’s account of a UFO-presence during the incident.

Of course, if James Carlson were ever to admit that Kaminski’s letter is important, or that Figel’s tape recorded statements to me and Bob Salas do indeed contradict his father’s now-discredited claim that there were no UFOs reported at Echo Flight, he would in effect be admitting that he has been making a complete fool of himself online for the past several years, by championing his dad’s untenable position and, in doing so, viciously insulting the other veterans and researchers who dare challenge it.

This is one reason why Carlson will never, in his many online rants about Echo Flight, provide a link to the tape recorded admissions by Col. Figel that are available online.

After all, one can hear Figel tell me that, while he was skeptical of the UFO report he received from the security guard, it nevertheless did indeed occur. Figel also says, clearly on the tape, that while he thought the guard might be joking, that individual’s demeanor was calm and businesslike. “He seemed to be serious and I wasn’t taking him seriously,” Figel told me.

When I posted the transcript of this conversation-excerpt in 2008, James Carlson doubted it’s accuracy and chided me to post the actual tape recording. When I eventually did, Carlson then claimed that I had doctored it to make it prove my points. All challenges by me, to have a team of audio experts examine the tape—to verify that it is pristine and unaltered—have been ignored by Carlson and his supporters. Of course, they would have to pay for that expensive analysis so, it seems, they are not prepared to put some money where their skeptical mouths are.

Another reason James Carlson does not want others to listen to my tape recorded conversations with Col. Figel is because he refutes Carlson’s claims, calling them “off-base”. Figel also says that Carlson “has an ax to grind,” something that James certainly does not want others to hear—given that Carlson incessantly cites Figel as someone who supports his own position. Regardless, James’ relentless hate campaign is quite obvious to anyone who reads his breathless tirades against me and Bob Salas.

Even Carlson’s handful of supporters have urged him to tone it down, given the manic, often hysterical tone of his blog comment postings in which he wildly attacks anyone who supports the notion of a UFO presence at Echo Flight during the shutdown incident. Other, unaffiliated readers of his rants—who have no strong opinion about the case, one way or the other—have called him a “nut”, “wacko”, “fruitcake” and the like.

Years ago I myself accused James Carlson of “foaming at the mouth”. However, that was before I learned that he had been medically discharged from the U.S. Navy due to a diagnosis of epilepsy. One symptom sometimes exhibited during epileptic “fits” is indeed a frothing at the lips during the seizures. Once I had James’ medical situation brought to my attention, I never again used that unkind characterization of his online outbursts.

Nevertheless, James’ usually bizarre, over-the-top tirades against me and Bob Salas—he has called us “liars and frauds” countless times—raises the issue of his state of mind. When I spoke with his father Eric, in October 2008, he continued denying that UFOs had been reported at Echo Flight, however, when I asked why his son was so out of control in his online posts, Eric responded, “James has some problems.”

That same month, in a phone conversation with an associate of mine, Eric told him that he was concerned that James would “have a nervous breakdown.” (I am willing to testify under oath in a court of law that the elder Carlson’s comment to me was exactly as I have portrayed here, and that I have accurately related the other conversation as it was presented to me.)

So, does James Carlson incessantly lie about the facts relating to the UFO events at Malmstrom Air Force Base because he is psychologically unbalanced, or is it just due to his complete lack of ethics? Or both?

Regardless, the questions remain: Why is James Carlson so unwilling (or perhaps unable) to accept the fact that his father misled him when he said that there were no UFO reports at Echo Flight at the time of the mysterious, full-flight missile shutdown? Why does James continue to deny or, in some posts, twist Col. Figel’s candid, taped remarks to me and Bob Salas?

Similarly, why does Carlson repeatedly lie about Salas’ former missile commander, Col. Frederick Meiwald, who has made emphatic remarks supportive of Salas? In 2011, Meiwald told me during a taped conversation (see below) that UFOs were indeed present at a different flight—Oscar—when those missiles malfunctioned eight days after the Echo incident.

Robert Hastings’ Call to Col. Frederick C. Meiwald

Although Meiwald had been on a rest break in the launch capsule when the ICBMs began “dropping off alert status”, once awoken by Salas, he witnessed most if not all of the missiles malfunctioning.

Meiwald also confirmed that moments later, in response to triggered alarms at one of the silos, Salas had dispatched a two-man Security Alert Team to the site. Those men, said Meiwald, saw “a bright, flying object at low-level.” near the missile silo and immediately fled back to the Oscar Launch Control Facility. One man was so distraught that he had to be transported to the base hospital before completing his shift.

James Carlson has for years loudly proclaimed that Salas was lying when he said that he had witnessed a UFO-related missile shutdown at Malmstrom in 1967. True, until Salas located Meiwald in 1996, he couldn’t remember the designation of the flight and thought that he might have been at Echo or November.

Nevertheless, by the time Carlson started his public vendetta against Salas in the late 1990s, Col. Meiwald had already discussed the UFO-related events at Oscar Flight with Salas during a taped telephone conversation (see below). Meiwald later wrote him a follow-up letter (see below) containing more details.

Fortunately, James Carlson has a relatively small audience, even though he has posted hundreds of comments about these topics at various websites over time. Unfortunately, his hard core supporters, whose strong anti-UFO biases apparently allow them to endorse a delusional (or, perhaps, merely dishonest) person’s baseless charges, keep egging him on, rather than urging him to seek the help he obviously needs.

Now, in the wake of Bob Salas’ recent revelation about having had an apparent UFO abduction experience in 1985, the usual critics are gleefully sharpening their knives. Given their blanket rejection of anything UFO-related, Carlson and his crew can be expected to go after Salas with renewed viciousness.

Importantly, six other former U.S. Air Force personnel have provided similar accounts to me in recent years. Those individuals had previously been involved in a nuts-and-bolts UFO incident in one of the nuclear missile fields operated by various Strategic Air Command bases. Then, weeks, months or years later, they allegedly had an experience comparable to the one now being revealed by Bob Salas. In short, his account is not unique.

I will have more to say on this last subject at some point in the future. At the moment, I am still gathering data. While the number of military veterans who have told me of their strange follow-up experiences is quite small, compared with the number who make no such claim, their accounts obviously deserve serious, unbiased investigation.

Breaking The Oath [Re UFO Activity at Nuke Missile Sites]

Tweet

By Billy Cox De Void 11-2-12

     Frederick Meiwald’s obituary in the Las Vegas Journal-Review last August was brief but distinguished. During a 28-year military career that included posts with Strategic Air Command and Space Command, he earned the Legion of Merit, the Meritorious Service Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters and the Joint Service Commendation Medal. What it didn’t include, not surprisingly, was Meiwald’s eyewitness to a controversial nuclear-missile shutdown at Malmstrom Air Force Base in March 1967. Because he was clearly uncomfortable with the conversation.

News of the colonel’s demise at 70 was widely circulated late last month by 341st Strategic Missile Wing colleague and retired USAF Capt. Bob Salas. Salas and Meiwald were working side by side at an underground launch control facility when the Minuteman ICBMs began going offline, simultaneously with topside security chatter of a mobile unit reporting UFO activity outside the front gate. Both Salas and Meiwald were ordered to sign non-disclosure agreements by the USAF Office of Special Investigation. The men would eventually go their separate ways and talk no more about it for nearly 30 years.

   

But the potentially catastrophic event shook Salas to his core. He became an activist for UFO transparency and dared authorities to prosecute him for violating his security oath. He wrote a book in 2005 called Faded Giant, and spoke up in high-profile venues such as Larry King Live and at a 2010 National Press Club conference in Washington. Salas was also moved to seek out his old LCF supervisor, and connected with Meiwald on the phone in 1996.

In that recorded conversation, which accompanied Salas’ post, Meiwald was relatively laconic. Salas did most of the talking as he walked Meiwald back through events as he remembered them. Though Meiwald affirmed most of Salas’ statements, he didn’t appear to share his former colleague’s enthusiasm for stepping up. Until the end, that is, when he volunteered something Salas didn’t know: “I remember the two guards that had gone out to one of the sites finally got back scared to death and we had to relieve them of duty … They had gone out to one of the sites, one of the LFs, and on the way back they lost radio contact, and they ended up having to send them back to base early. I’m not sure what happened but I don’t think they ever returned to guard duty.”

It’s hard to blame Meiwald for not joining Salas’ public platform. One critic of the Malmstrom incident posted an online rebuttal called “Americans, Credulous, Or The Arrogance of Congenital Liars & Other Character Defects.” Said debunker refers to those who disagree — with Salas at the top of the list — as “fools (and) idiots.” Who needs the abuse?

Still, just last year, Meiwald agreed to a taped phoner with UFOs & Nukes author/investigator Robert Hastings. He was, as usual, circumspect and possessed of the manner of a career officer who has been ordered not to talk.

“All I can say is something happened and, to the best of my knowledge, Bob Salas has stated what he believes (to be) true and I’ve supported the majority of what he has said,” Meiwald told Hastings. “I have read his book and (although) I can not, you know, support what other folks are saying, I know what happened at (LCF) Oscar. I know that Bob has relayed what happened at Oscar very accurately. But, what goes beyond that, I am not in a position to even express a viewpoint. I certainly can’t question somebody else’s judgment. Uh, I think it would be best if I said no more.”

That Meiwald agreed to speak on the record at all, given his sensitivities, was a marvel.

UFOs Reported Near Malmstrom AFB’s Nuclear Missile Sites in September 2012: Two V-Shaped Craft Sighted Southeast of Oscar Flight Launch Facility O-03

Tweet

By Robert Hastings www.ufohastings.com © 11-3-12

     On September 19th, at 10:19 pm., the Fergus County, Montana Sheriff’s Office received a call from an individual reporting a strange sight in the sky. The key passage in the official log entry reads:

CENTRAL MONTANA DISPATCH ADVISED OF A CALL FROM JENNIFER STYER WHO REPORTED SEEING 2 V-SHAPED OBJECTS WITH ORANGE LIGHTS FLYING VERY LOW NORTHWEST OF ROY. JENNIFER WANTED TO KNOW IF THEY MIGHT BE AIR FORCE AIRCRAFT...

DISPATCH CALLED MALMSTROM WHO STATED THAT THEY HAVE NO AIRCRAFT OUT BY ROY TONIGHT...

The small town of Roy is approximately one mile west-northwest of Malmstrom’s Oscar-01 Missile Alert Facility (MAF), and underground Launch Control Center, where two officers electronically monitor ten Minuteman-III nuclear missiles—scattered around the surrounding countryside in subterranean silos—waiting to unleash them, if ever ordered to do so by the President of the United States.

I first learned of recent UFO sightings in north-central Montana when two of them, occurring on September 21st, were posted at the National UFO Reporting Center’s website three days later. Because I was scheduled to lecture at the University of Montana on October 9th, I decided to visit the region where the sightings occurred immediately thereafter, to see what might be uncovered. That scouting trip led to the Fergus County Sheriff’s Office, where I found the record of Jennifer Styer’s call in their blotter:

I then drove to Roy and met with her and some of her neighbors—townspeople and ranchers—who had seen UFOs over the years. Significantly, a number of them told me that Air Force activity—both security patrols and the presence of missile maintenance vans—has dramatically increased in recent weeks.

These persons have lived in or near the town for decades; they know what is routine and what is not. Apparently, this heightened activity began around the time of Styer’s sighting of two V-shaped craft flying toward her from the direction of Oscar Flight’s O-03 missile site, some four miles distant.

Styer told me, “The sheriff’s record is inaccurate. I guess they misunderstood my description of the objects’ location. It was about 9:45 at night. I was on Antelope Lane, driving north, when I saw them. My house is 13 miles east of Roy but one of the missile [silos] is northwest of us, not too far away. The two objects were northwest of me, not the town, as it said in the log. They came out of nowhere, so fast! They were right on top of me before I noticed them. But they were big! Each one was a V-shape and had orange lights on each [leg]. I don’t remember how many lights because it happened so quickly. [The objects] were very close to each other, moving from the northwest to the southeast. There was no noise that I could hear.”

I asked Styer to compare the apparent length of each object to a 12-inch ruler held at arm’s length. She thought for a few moments and responded, “Oh, probably a little longer than that. They were large and seemed to be very close to the ground. Three other people south of me, on Valentine Road, saw them too.” I will discuss that second sighting, which I discovered actually occurred two nights later, on September 21st, toward the end of this article.

A number of people in and around Roy told me that Air Force jet fighters had begun to appear near the town, dropping flares, in recent weeks. When I mentioned this to Jennifer Styer, she said, “What I saw were definitely not flares. The lights were not falling to the ground, or burning out like a flare. There was no airplane above me. I would have heard it if there was. These lights were attached to objects that were silent, moving in a straight line, and definitely V-shaped.”

A History of UFO Activity at Oscar Flight

If the name Oscar Flight seems familiar, it’s undoubtedly due to the now-famous, UFO-related incident that occurred there on March 24, 1967. According to former USAF Captain Robert Salas—one of two Missile Combat Crew members on duty at the time—a UFO was reported to be hovering above Oscar-01, just as most or all of the flight’s ICBMs malfunctioned.

Then-Lt. Salas was at his missile-status console in the underground capsule when he received a call from a guard at ground level, saying that a strange, rapidly-moving light had been sighted in the sky. Salas told him to monitor the situation and to report back if there were any noteworthy developments. A short time later, the guard called again and screamed into the phone that a large, glowing, reddish-orange, oval-shaped object had suddenly appeared and was silently hovering over the facility’s security fence gate.

Salas quickly woke up the other officer, then-Capt. Frederick Meiwald, who was on his rest break, but before he could tell him about the phone calls with the topside guard, they were both shocked to see multiple warning lights on their consoles indicating that the missiles were dropping off alert status, that is, becoming unavailable for launch. It apparently took nearly a full day to restore them to operational status, requiring the replacement of components relating to the missiles’ guidance-and-control systems.

Salas and Meiwald later confirmed being debriefed by an agent from the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) and having to sign national security non-disclosure statements, promising not to reveal the incident. Each kept his silence until the mid-1990s.

During a tape-recorded telephone conversation in August 1996, Meiwald, by then a retired colonel, told Salas that shortly after the missiles failed—he remembered six to eight, whereas Salas recalls all ten going offline—a two-man Security Alert Team had been ordered into the field in response to an intrusion alarm at one of the Oscar silos.

Salas had forgotten that development over the years so Meiwald provided the details, saying that when the team approached the missile site, they saw a UFO hovering above it. (Meiwald later told me that it had been described as a “bright, flying object at low-level.”) Badly frightened, the two men raced back to the launch control facility. Apparently, one of the guards was so shaken by the experience that he couldn’t continue his shift and had to be taken directly to the Malmstrom AFB hospital.

Although Meiwald was sleeping when Salas took the two calls from the topside guard and, therefore, cannot personally corroborate the discussions that ensued, he has elaborated on the subsequent UFO-related events at the missile silo in a letter to Salas.

Additionally, during my own May 6, 2011 tape-recorded interview with Meiwald, he again confirmed a UFO-presence during the missile-shutdown incident and said that Salas has reported on it “very accurately.”

Furthermore, other Air Force veterans have spoken of the events reported by Salas and Meiwald. One Minuteman missile Combat Targeting Team officer, former Captain Robert Jamison, has stated that he was involved in bringing some of Oscar Flight’s ICBMs back online. In an affidavit, Jamison says that all of the targeting teams, including his, were explicitly told by their commander “that there had been some UFO activity that had been messing things up” at Oscar.

According to Jamison, specific instructions had been given to the teams. “They briefed us on what to do,” he said, “If we saw a UFO while on the road, we were to report it. If we were at the site and saw a UFO, we were supposed to get into the silo and close the personnel hatch. The guard accompanying us would remain outside and report developments to the base via radio.”

In other words, those conducting the briefing were apparently convinced of a UFO connection with the missile malfunctions, and had formulated a plan of action which would provide intelligence about any additional sightings, as well as enhance the safety of the dispatched targeting teams as they worked to restore the missiles to operational status.

Jamison also provides the date for the incident, saying that it occurred the same night as the well-known Belt UFO sighting, when a glowing, disc-shaped craft reportedly landed in a deep ravine near the town of Belt, Montana, on March 24, 1967—something reported in the local media the next day. Jamison says that he listened to radio chatter about that event while he waited at Malmstrom’s missile maintenance hangar for authorization to proceed to Oscar Flight to retarget the stricken ICBMs.

Moreover, according to retired Col. Walter Figel, another UFO had been reported to him eight days earlier—on March 16th—at nearby Echo Flight, just as all 10 of those missiles malfunctioned. Similar to what Bob Salas experienced at Oscar, Figel had been on duty in Echo’s underground Launch Control Center when he received a call from a guard posted at one of the flight’s silos, saying that “a large, round object” was hovering directly over it. “He was serious but I wasn’t taking him seriously,” Figel told me.

Nevertheless, a skeptical Figel dispatched two Security Alert Teams to the field to confirm the report; both did, according to tape-recorded statements he made to Salas during a 1996 telephone conversation; in a taped interview with me in 2008, Col. Figel said that “at least one” team saw the UFO. Both interviews may be heard here at TUFOC and at my website.

In short, the UFO-related, missile-shutdown incidents at Malmstrom’s Echo and Oscar Flights, in March 1967, are now credibly established. Considering all of this, the September 19, 2012 UFO sighting by civilian Jennifer Styer, southeast of Oscar’s O-03 missile site, is hardly surprising. Indeed, declassified documents and ex-USAF witness testimony confirming intermittent-but-ongoing UFO activity at Malmstrom’s and other bases’ missile sites are accessible here at TUFOC and at my website.

Whether or not any of Oscar’s ten missiles have been adversely impacted by UFO incursions in recent weeks remains unknown, at least for the moment. Unless some knowledgeable inside source at Malmstrom comes forward, we may never know the answer, one way or the other. (And, by the way, I am not asking any active duty personnel do that, given the almost-certain repercussions relating to their military careers.)

That said, the abrupt, apparently dramatic increase in the number of missile maintenance vans operating in the area, together with Air Force security vehicles—as reported to me by several persons living in or near Roy—strongly suggests that something highly unusual has happened there on one or more occasions during the past month.

Other Recent Sightings within Malmstrom’s Missile Field

The two sighting reports posted at the National UFO Reporting Center’s website, which prompted me to visit north central Montana, are briefly summarized below. (The time that each occurred has been more accurately established since the initial report.)

Two days after Styer’s sighting, on September 21st, shortly after 8:30 p.m. MDT, Dale Uhler and his wife were driving west on U.S. Highway 87, in Judith Basin County. Approximately one mile west of the town of Moccasin, they turned north onto North Star Road (CR 314). At the intersection of Fieldstone Road (CR 306), about two miles north of the highway, they noticed a light in the sky that appeared yellow-orange and bar-shaped. It then morphed into three individual orange lights. The sighting lasted approximately 20 seconds, at which point the display disappeared. The sky was clear and stars were visible. The object was 30 to 35 degrees above the horizon.

Uhler said the “elongated bar-shape” object was horizontally-oriented and appeared as wide as a bar of soap held at arm’s length. “I can’t explain what it was, just that we saw it,” he said, “It was an unexplainable, illuminated object. The purpose of my posting was to see if by chance someone saw something similar.” Uhler told me that the unidentified object/lights were “north-northeast” of his position and possibly east of the town of Denton, some 18 miles away.

The exact position of the object will probably remain uncertain. However, if Uhler’s estimate of its distance from him is reasonably accurate, it would have been in the general vicinity of Delta Flight, whose Missile Alert Facility D-01 is approximately five miles northeast of Denton. The flight’s perimeter extends some 10 miles both north and south of the MAF, therefore, even if the object was not in its immediate vicinity, it would have nevertheless been relatively near one or more of the Delta Launch Facilities, with D-11 or D-02 the likeliest sites, given that their locations were north-northeast of Uhler’s position.

Another witness, Ted Meinzen, apparently sighted the same object. However, he and two friends had also observed another strange light the previous night. He told me,

“What I saw occurred two nights in a row. The first night, [September 20th], it was a single orange light. The sky was dark and the light just appeared as a stationary glow. It did not move or make a sound. It was there for approximately 30 seconds, then it faded away like it burned out, or someone had used a dimmer switch. We were about 20-30 miles east of Highway 191 on a dirt road called Old Musselshell Trail, on the edge of the Charles M. Russell Wildlife Refuge. We were looking to the west and slightly north from our location.

The second night, the lights appeared in exactly the same spot. The difference being that this time there were several of them. We were sitting in the same spot because we had to return to that location to get cellular service. Anyhow, we were sitting in my truck, so all three of us could make our nightly phone calls home.

I was the first to see the light. I told everyone to look and we watched as a second light appeared next to the first and at the same height. A third appeared and then a fourth. At the time the fourth appeared, the first disappeared, followed by the second, third and fourth. It happened relatively quickly and this is how I remember it, but my friend, ----, may remember it slightly differently—the order the lights went out. My other friend, ----, was on the phone; he saw the lights but was not paying full attention.

There was no sound and no movement on either night. The lights appeared to be far away but I cannot tell you the exact distance. I think they were close to 35 degrees above the horizon. ---- told me the time was 8:37 the first night and 8:47 on the second. He looked at the clock on the dash of the truck.”

The time of the sighting on the second night, September 21st, was some five-to-ten minutes after Dale Uhler saw the elongated-bar object with orange lights from a different vantage point, which then disappeared, leaving only the lights. Meinzen’s description of the lights rules out military flares, which remain illuminated for 3-4 minutes, glowing erratically before eventually sputtering out, while slowly falling toward the ground.

It should also be noted that if Meinzen and his companions were indeed looking west or west-northwest when they observed the mysterious spectacle, the lights would have been further north than the area comprising Delta Flight—which is where Dale Uhler estimated them to be some ten minutes earlier—and, instead, possibly within the Echo Flight footprint.

Fortunately, I later spoke with a third witness, --- --------, who was much closer to the lights that night. His name had been given to me by Jennifer Styer, who heard about his sighting and, assuming that it had occurred at the same time as hers, on September 19th, provided his phone number.

The witness, and two others, were some 20 miles east of Roy. He told me, “It was on September 21st, at around 8-to-8:30 at night. I had been helping the ----------- family move hay and marked that date on my calendar. Actually, ------ saw the lights first and pointed them out to us. They were round like headlights and orange-colored, all in a row, maybe 200 feet in the sky. Then they went out, all at the same time. Then, a few seconds later, they appeared again, higher up, all in a row. Then they went out for good. They were probably a mile straight north of us. We didn’t hear any sounds.” This witness told me that no craft, per se, could be seen; just the lights.

This sighting fits nicely with the other two reports, from Dale Uhler and Ted Meinzen, but may have occurred closer to 8:00 p.m. I say this because if the lights were in fact only a mile or so north of the witnesses, positioned on Valentine Road, some 20 miles east of Roy, they would have been much further east than the object/lights sighted by Uhler to his north-northeast, just after 8:30. Similarly, the orange lights seen by Meinzen and his friends, at 8:47, were described as being west to west-northwest of their position, which would place them much further north than the location reported by the witness located east of Roy.

So, the unidentified object with orange lights was apparently moving around over time. Moreover, it should be obvious that Uhler’s description of the object’s position north-northeast of him does not provide any information as to how far away it was, just as Meinzen had difficulty estimating the distance to the lights he saw to the west-northwest.

The third witness, who was much closer to the lights, was confident that they were only a short distance north of him. The map below will clarify the situation. Lines-of-sight from the witnesses’ positions are indicated but not the distances to the observed lights:

Summing up the situation, based on the available evidence, all one can say with certainty is that on September 21, 2012, between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m., at least three widely-separated groups of witnesses observed a bar-shaped object with orange lights (in the Uhler sighting) or a group of orange lights arranged in a row (in the other two) whose locations-over-time placed them directly above, or very near to, Malmstrom’s Delta, Echo, and Oscar Flights.

Additionally, as noted on the map, yet another witness, Shelby Buck, may have observed unusual aerial activity later that same night. Buck, who lives in the town of Geraldine, told me, “I think the date was September 21st, but I am not absolutely positive about that. It was around 10 p.m.” She had been helping her father move a tractor while seeding winter wheat on his farm four-and-a-half miles north of the town. After-dark agricultural activities are not uncommon, as any farmer will tell you. Suddenly, Buck saw a meteor-like “line of fire in the sky” due east of her, moving rapidly in a northerly direction, parallel with the horizon. It then faded out.

A few seconds later, another flaming streak appeared, also moving to the north, level with the ground. It was somewhat smaller than the first one and also faded out. Approximately 10 minutes after that, two Air Force jet fighters suddenly came into view, north of Buck, moving west-to-east. She said, “It seemed like they were probably already in the area” when the flaming objects appeared, since they arrived shortly thereafter.

Given Buck’s location, and the direction of the streaks of light, due east of her, they may have been above Echo Flight or, depending on their actual distance from her, just west or east of it. (The objects could have also been hundreds of miles away, if they were meteors, but Buck’s distinct impression was that they were much closer.)
Buck said, “The second flame was in the same area as the first one. They were orange and moving sort of rapidly. The big one lasted half-a-second and the other was [briefer] than that.”

These trails of light were clearly not air-dropped military flares, given their short duration, their horizontal movement, and the fact that they were visible several minutes before the two jets made their appearance.

I asked Buck if the objects could have been meteors—commonly called “shooting stars”—but she responded by saying that the fiery objects were somehow different in appearance than the meteors she had seen in the past. Given that she is not certain about the date, this sighting cannot be directly associated with the others reported on the 21st, although it may have indeed been linked to them.

Regardless, it appears that bona fide UFO activity occurred in Fergus County, Montana, during the period of September 19-21, 2012, if not longer. I am requesting anyone having knowledge of these events, or any other UFO sightings near Malmstrom’s missile sites located elsewhere in Montana, recent or otherwise, to contact me.

Witnesses’ names will be kept confidential unless I am authorized to publish them.

In conclusion, the UFO sightings near Malmstrom AFB’s missile sites in recent weeks—as reported by civilians living in or visiting the region—represent only the latest chapter in the UFO-Nukes Connection saga. Its well-documented history, as revealed in declassified U.S. government files and military eyewitness testimony, extends back to December 1948. Countless official denials about the reality of the situation have been issued over the years but, sooner or later, this amazing story will break wide open.
