March 16, 1967 — Malmstrom AFB, Montana, Echo Flight. AF Report: “All sites in Echo (E) Flight shut-down with No-Go indications… All launch facilities in E Flight lost strategic alert nearly simultaneously.” LT. ROBERT SALAS (sworn affidavit, age 26): Surface security called twice — first: strange lights “making no noise, flying very fast, stopping on a dime, reversing course, 90-degree turns.” Second call frantic: large glowing red object hovering over facility’s front gate. Guards weapons drawn. Minutes later: all 10 Minuteman ICBMs registered No-Go. No equipment damaged. All 10 restored within 24 hours. Salas signed NDA — prohibited from discussing for decades. Similar incident 8 days earlier at Oscar Flight. SCALE: Researcher Robert Hastings documented 120+ former service members who reported UAPs near nuclear facilities. February 2023: First time Salas officially testified before any DoD body. 2025 Pentagon: attributed incident to classified EMP test — disputed. Grusch (2023): “There does indeed seem to be some sort of nexus between UAP activity and our critical nuclear technology — looks like preparatory probing activity.” Elizondo: confirmed UAP-nuclear nexus pattern in AATIP files.
