AudioBlog: UFOs, Nukes and Abductions

One commonly reported characteristic of UFOs is that they are often
seen near nuclear weapons facilities. One would think that this
would get the attention of government authorities, and it seems it
has. Robert Hastings is a researcher who looked into this aspect of
the UFO mystery, and his work caused many people, including those
in the media, to take a serious look at it. Then, at the risk of
casting doubt on his credibility, Hastings came forward with the
claim that he had had an abduction experience. While this upset
some of the people who had been encouraged by Hastings to come
forward with their stories of UFOs at nuclear facilities, one man
told Hastings of abductions reported by men stationed at such
facilities. According to Hastings, he was sixteen when he first
became interested in UFOs. He was working as a janitor in the air
traffic control tower at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, where
his father was stationed. A supervisor called him over to look at a
radarscope. When Hastings came over, the supervisor told him they
were looking at returns of UFOs. Hastings was intrigued and was
told to come back later if he wanted to talk about them, but when
he did, the supervisor no longer wanted to discuss the matter.
Hastings later learned from his father that fighter jets had chased
the UFOs over the Minuteman missiles that were housed at the base.
He then read an article in the Saturday Evening Post about
UFOs reported over other nuclear missile sites. He got the
impression that what happened at Malmstrom was something real and
not unique. He felt there was a connection between UFOs and nuclear
weapons, and he began reaching out to military personnel to find
evidence. Read more
