Captain Robert Salas, was in the United States Air Force from 1964 until 1971 who was stationed in Montana as a nuclear missile launch commander. On March 16, 1967, there was a startling event that took place. The captain was 60 feet underground monitoring 10 minuteman nuclear tipped missiles. A security guard called the captain who reported they were seeing strange lights flying in the sky. This initial call was disregarded.
A 2nd call was made to the captain in which it was reported from a scared security guard that a bright red oval shaped object was hovering over the front gate to the base. All the guards were out with weapons drawn.
As the captain reported to the commander of the silo, all the nuclear weapons in their control all ‘went down’, one right after another. They went into a no-go condition and were un-launchable during this incident. 6-8 Nuclear warheads went down at this time.
A similar incident happened at a nearby base where they lost all 10 of their nuclear launch capability in a similar way.
