Seven former U.S. Air Force personnel gathered in Washington Monday to recount UFO sightings over nuclear weapons facilities in decades past – accounts that a UFO researcher says show extraterrestrial beings are interested in the world’s nuclear arms race and may be sending humans a message.

At a news conference at the National Press Club, the six former officers and one ex-enlisted man recalled either personal sightings or reports from subordinates and others of UFOs hovering over nuclear missile silos or nuclear weapons storage areas in the 1960s, '70s and '80s.

Three of the former Air Force officers – though they hadn’t seen the UFOs themselves - told reporters that UFOs hovering over silos around Montana’s Malmstrom Air Force Base in 1967 appeared to have temporarily deactivated some of the nuclear missiles.

Notice the choice of words -- "though they hadn't seen the UFOs themselves" -- as if that mattered.  Even if they had claimed to have seen the UFOs, they would have still been ridiculed for claiming they saw a UFO -- catch 22.  The title of the article is also somewhat misleading -- "UFOs eyed nukes, ex-Air Force personnel say."  According to the witnesses, these UFOs allegedly did a hell of a lot more than just eye nukes.  I'm surprised CNN even bothered to give the story any play at all.  To read the rest of the article, click here.
