A former U.S. Air Force officer is recounting a chilling Cold War-era incident he says left an entire set of nuclear missiles mysteriously disabled after strange lights appeared in the sky above a Montana base.
According to the New York Post, Robert Salas, now 85, says the encounter happened in March 1967 while he was stationed underground at Malmstrom Air Force Base, tasked with monitoring and potentially launching Minuteman I nuclear missiles.
Speaking on the “Danny Jones Podcast,” Salas described how the night took a sudden turn when security personnel above ground reported unusual activity.
“The main guard calls down, says, ‘Sir, we’ve been seeing some strange lights in the sky, flying directly overhead,’” Salas said.
At first, he dismissed the call as a possible prank.
But minutes later, the situation escalated.
“He’s yelling. He’s babbling. He’s frightened,” Salas recalled of a second call from the guard.
According to Salas, the guard described a craft hovering over the front gate, glowing with a “pulsating reddish light.” Armed personnel had reportedly drawn their weapons, unsure how to respond.
