A story that most would probably call silly has more serious implications, the Strategic Events Editor for a UK paper writes.
"The story that senior US military personnel claim aliens have landed on British nuclear bases and tampered with the weapons is genuinely scary," Tom Chivers -- a self-confessed "science nerd" -- writes for the Telegraph in a "bit-of-fun blog" about the "scary news of the day."
Not, I hasten to add, because there is even the smallest likelihood that they are correct. But because it means that serious people with access to even more serious weaponry have been seeing ET.
An article in the Telegraph by Andy Bloxham claims, "Aliens have landed, infiltrated British nuclear missile sites and deactivated the weapons, according to US military pilots."
The beings have repeated their efforts in the US and have been active since 1948, the men said, and accused the respective governments of trying to keep the information secret.
The unlikely claims were compiled by six former US airmen and another member of the military who interviewed or researched the evidence of 120 ex-military personnel. The information they have collected suggests that aliens could have landed on Earth as recently as seven years ago.
The men's aim is to press the two governments to recognise the long-standing extra-terrestrial visits as fact. They are to be presented on Monday 27 September at a meeting in Washington.
Capt Robert Salas told the paper: "The US Air Force is lying about the national security implications of unidentified aerial objects at nuclear bases and we can prove it."
The MSM is predictably going to pull out all of the stops on this one. But I'm never one to miss any opportunity to excoriate these tawdry press frauds. And frankly, this so-called editor's obviously biased and derisive comments scare me far more the comments of these courageous US ex-military personnel. To read the rest of this MSMBS, click here.
