A UFO Shot Down a Nuclear Warhead on Film

For more than fifty years, Robert Hastings has been doing one thing: finding and interviewing military personnel who witnessed UAP activity at nuclear weapons facilities, and putting their testimony on the record. His book, UFOs and Nukes, documents over 160 such witnesses across the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom, and the pattern those accounts describe is consistent enough that Hastings is willing to say plainly what it suggests. The most significant case in his research is the September 1964 incident at Vandenberg Air Force Base, where Lieutenant Bob Jacobs was running a telescopic camera team at the Big Sur coastal site, filming a test missile launch at long range. When the film was processed and screened two days later, it showed a bright point of light entering the frame, keeping pace with a dummy nuclear warhead travelling at roughly 8,000 miles per hour, circling it, emitting four beams of light at compass points, and then reversing course and exiting frame while the warhead tumbled and fell into the Pacific several hundred miles short of its target. The two men in civilian suits sitting in the room during that screening were CIA officers. The film was classified top secret and confiscated. Major Florenz Mansmann, who examined the original frame by frame with a magnifier before it left the base, described a saucer shaped object with a dome. Lou Elizondo has confirmed he has seen the footage. The public has not. The Malmstrom Air Force Base incidents add another dimension. Multiple missile officers have testified that UAP activity coincided with the sudden shutdown of nuclear missiles, with unknown objects apparently tampering with the on-off switches and demonstrating the ability to take systems offline or put them into launch-ready status, a capability that represents exactly the kind of vulnerability the Department of Defense will not publicly acknowledge, which Matt's analysis says explains why none of this appears in congressional hearings. Robert Hastings' conclusion after five decades is that the phenomenon has a consistent and demonstrable interest in nuclear weapons, and his best interpretation of that interest is observational rather than hostile. Matt's closing read adds a further possibility: the first nuclear detonations may have sent a signal detectable across vast distances, attracting attention that has been ongoing ever since.
