U.S. nukes reportedly compromised by aliens

Aliens from outer space, to be more precise.  I first saw the story at Reuters last week, in a piece dated September 15:
Witness testimony from more than 120 former or retired military personnel points to an ongoing and alarming intervention by unidentified aerial objects at nuclear weapons sites, as recently as 2003. In some cases, several nuclear missiles simultaneously and inexplicably malfunctioned while a disc-shaped object silently hovered nearby.  Six former U.S. Air Force officers and one former enlisted man will break their silence about these events at the National Press Club and urge the government to publicly confirm their reality.

One of them, ICBM launch officer Captain Robert Salas, was on duty during one missile disruption incident at  Malmstrom Air Force Base and was ordered to never discuss it. Another participant, retired Col. Charles Halt, observed a disc-shaped object directing beams of light down into the RAF Bentwaters airbase in England and heard on the radio that they landed in the nuclear weapons storage area. Both men will provide stunning details about these events, and reveal how the U.S. military responded. 
More at the link.  I didn't know what to think of it.  Today the story was picked up by the Telegraph - re British nuclear weapons sites:
Col Charles Halt said he saw a UFO at the former military base RAF Bentwaters, near Ipswich, 30 years ago, during which he saw beams of light fired into the base then heard on the military radio that aliens had landed inside the nuclear storage area.

He said: "I believe that the security services of both the United States and the United Kingdom have attempted - both then and now - to subvert the significance of what occurred at RAF Bentwaters by the use of well-practised methods of disinformation." 
The testimony was supposed to take place today.  I'll defer any commentary, except to say I'd be delighted if it's true.

  1. I'm smelling some pretty serious horse manure, frankly.

    Without a whole lot more credible, verifiable evidence, I'm inclined to chalk it up to a different set of cranks than the usual suspects.

  2. This is all the material that was released by the Disclosure Project to the world's press in July 2001. It has been ignored or ridiculed ever since and it spurred a young Gary McKinnon to hack into the Pentagon computers to try and find out the truth. Why this story has suddenly been given some legitimacy by the world's press remains to be seen.

  3. It hasn't been given legitimacy, it's a press release that Reuters is echoing, but everybody's giving Reuters credit as reporting it.

  5. This is _not_ a Reuters story.

    It's a story [1] by PR Newswire, a service that will publish anything as long as you pay [2] for it.

    As to _why_ all this seems to be happening, I suggest you search Amazon for Robert Salas.


    Extraterrestrial life would be fascinating to say the least. Sadly, this seems to be a PR stunt to sell more books.

  6. Has anyone interviewed Col. Mandrake? He's been keeping a lot of secrets since Gen. Ripper "committed suicide."

    The photo should be familiar to anyone of my age; it's a still from the 1951 movie, "The Day The Earth Stood Still." Quite a thriller in its time.
