Ten nuclear warheads 'switched off' by nearby UFOs, investigators told
UFOs have been 'disabling nuclear warheads' and interfering with military training, according to two US Air Force veterans who spoke out at a recent hearing.
The astonishing accounts were given at the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office - or AARO - which is probing alleged UFO sightings near military bases, as the Daily Star reports.
Former US Air Force intercontinental ballistic missile launch officer Robert Salas has testified he was on duty at Malmstrom air force base in Montana on March 24, 1967, when an orange disc-shaped UFO briefly hovered over the front gate.
Seconds after security reported the sighting to Salas all 10 of the missiles at the base dropped offline one after the other and the nukes were "un-launchable", and "it took several hours to repair and retarget them".
Though a probe was launched by the military and reports were compiled, no explanation was ever found for the missiles' shutdown.

Salas and his colleagues were interviewed at the time by agents from the Air Force Office of Special Investigations and made to sign non-disclosure agreements.
But investigators approached Salas to give evidence as part of the US Government's ongoing probe into 510 UFO sightings by military personnel dating back to the 1940s.
Salas, now 82, said he was impressed by the probe after decades of having his account either ignored or denied by the government.
He said: "I've been wanting to tell a government agency my story for over 50 years. It was a great big relief. They were very magnanimous. They listened intently.
"I gave them a complete report on the Malmstrom incidents. I'm more confident now than I was going in that they're trying to make a sincere effort.''

Another former US Air Force officer Dr Robert Jacobs has testified about a 35mm film he shot in 1964 of a flying saucer shooting down a missile.
Jacobs was in charge of a telescopic camera team filming test missile launches at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California in the 1960s.
At a launch on September 15, 1964, a disc flew up to a moving missile, shot a series of beams at it and sped off - causing the dummy warhead to topple out of the sky.

The former lieutenant, now 84, said: "We watched the third stage burn out and into the frame came something else. It flew into the frame and it shot a beam of light at the warhead.

"And the warhead tumbles out of space. The object, the points of light that we saw, the warhead and so forth, were travelling through sub-space about 60 miles straight up.
"And they were going somewhere in the neighbourhood of 11,000 to 14,000 miles an hour when this UFO caught up to them, flew in, flew around them, and flew back out. Now I saw that.
"I don't give a goddamn what anybody else says about it. I saw that on film. I was there.''
Jacobs said he was ordered to keep quiet about the footage by his boss Major Florenze J Mansmann who viewed it with him in a meeting with two CIA officers in the days after the incident.
Before his 2000 death, Mansmann confirmed the account saying he watched the video of the 'saucer-shaped' object four times before the CIA shipped it off to an undisclosed location.
Jacobs said of his testimony a fortnight ago: "I found it to be the most sensitive, the most honest, the most welcoming interview that I've ever had regarding this subject.
"At the end of our chat, I said, 'I've been trying for over 40 years to get the government to listen to my testimony'. And he said, 'You just did'.
"The government finally listened. I'm not sure who they're going after next. But I have great faith in this organisation as much as I've had in any government.''
AARO director Dr Sean Kirkpatrick is also interviewing nine other witnesses of similar cases.
