Retired Military Personnel To Confirm UFO Incursions at American Nuclear Weapons Sites

Maybe there is something to this UFO stuff after all. What do you think? Opinions welcome and encouraged. (chuck)

from the American Chronicle. by Frank Warren

Consider it the second barrel of the double-barreled shotgun, or the “two” of the proverbial “one-two punch”; the first being Leslie Kean’s new book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record and now the upcoming press conference being co-hosted by researcher Robert Hastings and former missleer (Minuteman I launch officer – Deputy Missile Combat Crew Commander) Bob Salas.

Hastings writes:

“Declassified U.S. government documents and the testimony of more than 120 former or retired military personnel have established, beyond doubt, the reality of ongoing UFO incursions at American nuclear weapons sites. While most of the incidents apparently involved mere surveillance, in a few cases a significant number of nuclear missiles suddenly and simultaneously malfunctioned, just as USAF Security Policemen reported seeing disc-shaped craft hovering nearby.

On September 27th, during a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. , six former U.S. Air Force officers and one former enlisted man will reveal their own dramatic experiences involving UFOs at nuclear weapons sites. One of them, former Minuteman missile launch officer Robert Salas, is co-hosting the event with me. We hope to draw worldwide media attention to this vital issue by presenting the testimony of highly-credible individuals who witnessed extraordinary encounters which have officially been kept secret for decades.

Five of these veterans were rigorously screened by the Air Force and authorized to launch or otherwise work with Weapons of Mass Destruction. Of the remaining two, one headed-up a USAF communications center where he learned of UFO activity at ICBM sites; the other witnessed a UFO directing laser-like beams of light down into a major military base—including the nuclear weapons depot, according to the radio chatter he overheard.

At long last, all of these witnesses are coming forward to say that, as unbelievable as it may seem to some, UFOs have long monitored and sometimes tampered with our nukes. If ever there were a front page story, this is it.

At the press conference, Mr. Salas and I will be asking simple questions: Why do UFOs continue to appear at nuclear weapons sites, decade after decade? What might these incursions indicate about the intentions and goals of those who presumably pilot these craft? Why has the U.S. government chosen to keep the American public, and people everywhere, in the dark about these dramatic developments? Hasn´t the time come to speak the truth?

The purpose of this short article is to introduce, in alphabetical order, the individuals who will participate in the upcoming event:

Dwynne Arneson, retired USAF Lieutenant Colonel, was the Officer-in-Charge at the Malmstrom AFB, Montana, Communications Center in 1967, when he read a classified message concerning the sighting of a UFO hovering over one of the base´s Minuteman I Launch Facilities (silos), just as several missiles mysteriously malfunctioned. Although Arneson can not recall the designation of the missile “flight” mentioned, researchers now know that two UFO-related full-flight shutdowns—involving 10 missiles each—took place at Malmstrom in March of that year, at Echo and Oscar Flights.

Bruce Fenstermacher, retired USAF Captain, was a Minuteman III missile launch officer (Missile Combat Crew Commander) stationed at F.E. Warren AFB, Wyoming in 1976. His Security Alert Team reported a cigar-shaped UFO hovering low over his launch capsule, then ignored a direct order to pursue the object after it raced away and began moving from missile to missile in his flight. Fenstermacher´s squadron´s missile crews were briefed about the incident and told never to discuss it with anyone.

Charles Halt, retired USAF Colonel, was the Deputy Base Commander at a joint Anglo/American airbase, RAF Bentwaters, in 1980. Among other events, Halt observed a disc-shaped UFO directing beams of light down into the base, at one point near the nuclear Weapons Storage Area (WSA), according to several Security Policemen on duty there.

Robert Jamison, former USAF Captain, was a Minuteman I missile targeting officer (Combat Targeting Team Commander) at Malmstrom AFB in 1967. He helped re-start the stricken missiles at Oscar Flight, where Bob Salas was on alert duty at the time of the full-flight shutdown. Jamison says that his team was explicitly briefed about a UFO-connection with the incident before going into the field, thereby corroborating Salas´ report of a UFO being sighted as it hovered over the Oscar Launch Control Facility at the time of the malfunctions.

Patrick McDonough, retired U.S. Navy Intelligence Command Master Chief, was a U.S. Air Force geodetic surveyor at Malmstrom AFB in 1966. A disc-shaped UFO briefly hovered some 300-ft. above his team as they worked at a newly-constructed missile silo. They fled the scene, rolling their truck in the process. A Montana State Policeman responding to the accident told the team that some 20 UFO reports had been made that night by civilians living in the area.

Jerry Nelson, former USAF 1st Lieutenant, was an Atlas-F missile launch officer (Deputy Missile Combat Crew Commander) at Walker AFB, New Mexico in 1964. His security guards reported a UFO silently hovering over the Site 9 launch capsule on half-a-dozen occasions over the period of a month or so. The object directed a spotlight onto the missile, frightening the guards. Nelson´s reports to the base command post were seemingly ignored at the time, however, evidence has come to light suggesting that the incidents were classified Top Secret.

Bob Salas, former USAF Captain, was a Minuteman I launch officer (Deputy Missile Combat Crew Commander) at Malmstrom´s Oscar Flight, on March 24, 1967, when all of his missiles dropped-off alert status—malfunctioned—just as one of his guards reported a UFO hovering over the Launch Control Facility´s security fence gate. Salas and his missile commander, now-retired Col. Fred Meiwald, were debriefed about the incident and asked to signed non-disclosure statements by an agent from the Office of Special Investigations (OSI). Meiwald has confirmed that, shortly after the malfunctions occurred, a two-man Security Alert Team was sent out to one of the flight´s missile silos to investigate a tripped alarm there. Upon approaching the site, the team saw a second (or the same) UFO hovering near it, whereupon they became frightened and quickly returned to the Launch Control Facility.”

“To present their information in the most credible manner possible, Mr. Salas and I have asked each of the press conference participants to sign legal affidavits attesting to their experiences. Those will be posted at this website following the event..

Interview with James Hetfield at TheAge.com.au

Australia’s TheAge.com.au conducted an interview with METALLICA guitarist/vocalist James Hetfield prior to the band’s September 18, 2010 concert at the Acer Arena in Sydney. You can now watch the chat at this location.

On how the band has changed over the years:

Hetfield: “I would we’ve matured some. I think the main thing is we’ve realized what’s really important and what’s not worth even battling over, and a lot of that has to do with internal band dynamics. Now that we’ve all got kids, we kind of realized how childish we are at times. [Laughs] Things are a lot better. I didn’t think things could get better than our 20s, and then the 30s and 40s — we’re in our 40s now. It’s quite awesome.”

On whether he feels METALLICA is still at the top of its game:

Hetfield: “I think we’ll always think that. [Laughs] What other people tell us might be different, you know?! But I do feel that mentally, and I’d say physically, we’re in better shape than we were years ago. Mentally, for sure — we’re getting along really, really well. Physically, you know — we’ve been road-doggin’ it for 30-something years, and we’ve all got our, ‘Oh, my shoulder tonight,’ or ‘Oh, my throat’ or ‘My back.’ There’s always something.”

On doing this for 30 years without a real break:

Hetfield: “Well, there have been times where we said, ‘We’ve gotta take some time off.’ After the ‘black’ album tour in the early ’90s, we were on the road for almost three years for that album, and we had to take some serious time off from that. But, you know, I understand a lot of the METALLICA fans out there are just, ‘OK, now that the tour is over, great. Now we’re not gonna hear any music for another for another five years,’ or ‘They won’t be back out here for eight years.’ It’s a long cycle for us and we’re trying to get quicker with that, but we go at the pace we need to go at.”

On when he thinks the band wasn’t in such a good state:

Hetfield: “Oh, my God. We all kind of had our… Each individual bandmember had their, kind of, slippery times at different times — whether it was the drugging or the sexing or the drinking… The ‘black’ album was kind of the time when things got a little easier and, ‘Wow, we’re just touring everywhere.’ It was, like, everything just lined up, especially in the United States, where it was just… we could do no wrong. And we got a little complacent and kind of uncaring of that responsibility. It wasn’t horrible things that happened like you read about in other people’s tell-all books, but we all had our personal messes that we went through.”

On going to rehab in 2001 and how it changed him:

Hetfield: “Oh, man… Rehab was… It really was like the college that I never went to. Or, actually, the parents that were a little more teaching… or explained things a lot better about life. What happened in there was getting stripped down to the bone and then being kind of rebuilt in a different way — in more of an adult form. You never know what people don’t know about life and what everyone thinks they know — things your parents teach you or whoever, things that you picked up along the way. Some people pick up some pretty unsafe survival skills. And it was not the country club that you see now on some of the TV. Rehab, the word, is just thrown around like it’s nothing. ‘Hey, it’s the place to be now.’ And that’s really sad, because that’s supposed to be a place where you are able to be yourself and just say, ‘Help’ — surrender completely — and it doesn’t seem like that anymore. It’s kind of sad.”

On the documentary “Some Kind Of Monster” and whether it was a turning point for the band as much as it was for the fans in the way that they knew METALLICA:

Hetfield: “Well, that was a time… I mean, that was a rebirth for me. That was an unbelievable, a very cathartic experience in life. If I didn’t go through that, all the other stuff wouldn’t have happened, really, I believe. But as an artist, we thought it was totally worth taking that gamble or chance or whatever and being… You can’t go wrong with honesty — you can’t. And it’s actually helped us quite a lot on the road, having fans relate to us a lot deeper, to another level. At the [pre-show] meet-and-greets, it’s unbelievable what the fans will say now instead of just the quick, ‘Hey, great, thanks. Hey, cool shirt.’ OK, next. There’s stuff like, ‘You saved my life,’ there’s, ‘My father died and I didn’t know what to do and I heard your music.’ There’s a whole another level that it goes to.”

On what his reaction would have been 30 years ago if somebody told him that 30 years later he would be playing a sold-out Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia:

Hetfield: “I would have said, ‘You bet. You bet I am.’ That was it. I was gonna do it. There was no holding back. There was no… There was another option, but it had to be music — it was, like, that was it; that’s what I’m gonna do. I recall very clearly my brother saying, ‘Oh, so you’re gonna be a rock star and be on stage, huh?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah.’ I guess I didn’t know what sarcasm was back then. I was like, ‘Yeah, I am.’ And that was kind of it.”

On what his favorite METALLICA album is:

Hetfield: “It’s tough, because they each have a place in my heart and they all remind me either of what I was going through or what I wanted to have happen in my life. I like ‘Ride The Lightning’ a lot. That was the first album we really had to write for and we had a little more experience. I love the ‘black’ album — I liked the whole process of that. And this last one, ‘Death Magnetic’, really, really surprised me with what we did and the people’s reaction to it.”

On what surprised him about “Death Magnetic”:

Hetfield: “Well, the fact that people embraced it, people liked it. It’s like, ‘Are you sure?’ It still blows me away. I’m up there playing a song that’s nasty, and yelling at people, and there’s an 18-year-old girl going, ‘Yeah!’ What? [Laughs] Where’s your parents? What’s going on here? Or you’ve got some 50-year-old guy out there just headbanging like crazy. I guess he really does like this. We’re not just up here still pretending that we’re good. There’s people that actually like the music and it still blows me away.”
