“This UFO Shut Down 10 Nukes!” - Air Force Officer Robert Salas

Here is a comprehensive, chronological list of distinct topics, claims, and statements from the transcript:

1. A security guard reported being frightened by a huge, pulsating red-orange light. Before the speaker could report this, a missile went off alert status, followed by all other missiles shutting down one by one.
2. A Wall Street Journal article by Joel Shectman is described as a botched attempt to discredit the speaker. It is suggested that discrediting claims about UFOs disabling nuclear weapons undermines the concept of nuclear deterrence, which is seen as the backbone of national security.
3. The US military recently carried out massive precision strikes.
4. Global tensions are escalating, with closer ties between Xi and Putin and the Iran-Israel conflict being a proxy for a larger global conflict. There is grave concern about Pakistan, a nuclear power, potentially becoming a failed state due to the presence of al-Qaeda.
5. An explicit disclosure moment regarding UFOs might occur if humanity is on the brink of global conflict, such as another Cuban Missile Crisis.
6. Between September 1966 and March 1967, a total of 30 missiles were lost due to UFO activity.
7. The guest, Robert Salace, was a missile launch officer at Malmstrom Air Force Base in March 1967, where he witnessed a UFO incident. Glowing red lights hovered above the base and appeared to interact with nuclear weapons. This is part of a repeating pattern of UFOs appearing around nuclear weapons and energy grids, with 167 cleared witnesses documented by Robert Hastings.
8. The Wall Street Journal published a "hit piece" discrediting Salace, claiming the Malmstrom event was a non-nuclear EMP experimental test. The article cited an EMP model not operational until after 1967 and was written by a journalist who views JFK assassination conspiracies as fueling "deep state" beliefs.
9. Joel Shectman's Wall Street Journal piece is seen as a botched attempt to discredit Salace, claiming an EMP was used at Malmstrom Air Force Base to explain 10 nuclear missiles shutting down. This is believed to be in collaboration with Sean Kirkpatrick, former head of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).
10. Bob Salace believes there was a deliberate attempt to discredit his story and has theories as to why.
11. In 1967, Salace was a lieutenant at Oscar Flight, near Roy, Montana, and on March 24th, 1967, received a call from a topside guard. The guard reported strange lights overhead, flying very fast, stopping, reversing course, and doing 90-degree turns without engine noise, confirming they were not airplanes.
12. Salace joked, "You mean like UFOs?" because local newspaper accounts in the Great Falls Tribune had already reported citizens seeing strange lights in the sky that week.
13. On the same night, a truck driver in Belt, Montana, saw a bright light pacing him, blinking, and then landing in a ravine. He, a highway patrolman, and county sheriffs observed it and reported broken branches at the landing site before calling Malmstrom Air Force Base.
14. Lieutenant Colonel Lewis Chase, the base operations officer and UFO officer, investigated the Belt sighting and received radar and visual reports of objects at Malmstrom Air Force Base. He reported these incidents to Air Force headquarters and the Condon investigation.
15. While these events unfolded, the missiles at Oscar Flight were shutting down.
16. The topside guard called Salace back five minutes later, screaming and frightened, reporting a huge, pulsating red-orange, oval-shaped light about 40 feet long, with guards pointing weapons at it.
17. Salace instructed the guard to secure the facility, then checked the status board, noting all missiles, initially green, turned red and shut down one by one after a horn sounded. This occurred as he was reporting the guard's frightened call to his commander, Fred Maywald.
18. In three years, Salace had never witnessed multiple missile shutdowns, only isolated incidents due to power issues.
19. After the shutdown, Salace and his commander followed checklists, and incursion alarms sounded at two launch facilities. The topside guard confirmed the red glowing object, present during the shutdowns, had departed.
20. Guards sent to the launch facilities saw a bright light hovering above them and lost radio contact on their return.
21. Wing command was informed, and system queries revealed a "guidance and control system failure" for all missiles. Maintenance crews were requested for restart and retargeting.
22. Maywald revealed to Salace that a similar incident, later identified as the Echo Flight incident, had occurred eight days prior.
23. Targeting officer Robert Jameson was informed of a missile alert at Oscar Flight and learned that all 10 missiles were off alert following a UFO report. He confirmed this status at Job Control, considering it impossible.
24. Due to extensive UFO activity, Jameson experienced a base lockdown and a special briefing detailing UFO encounter protocols, including reporting sightings, withdrawing from sites, and securing targeting tapes if a UFO was present.
25. Jameson successfully restarted the missiles, which returned to operational status. He was subsequently briefed not to discuss the incident.
26. Jameson learned about the Belt incident, where a UFO was reportedly trapped in a canyon. He overheard command post discussions of various colored lights and confirmed the UFO escaped through helicopters sent at dawn.
27. Fred Maywald, Salace's former commander, confirmed the core details of the incident, including missiles going off alert during UFO sightings. Salace recorded Maywald's verification, which is accessible on his website.
28. Maywald's memory aligns with Salace's regarding the initial dismissal of a security guard's UFO report, followed by a second, terrified call about a UFO at the gate and a guard's injury, unrelated to the UFO.
29. Maywald's recollection confirms that missiles began shutting down and security alarms activated shortly after he was awakened by Salace.
30. Two guards dispatched to a missile site lost radio contact, returned "scared to death" after seeing "crazy things," and were subsequently relieved of duty.
31. At the time, there was no prosaic explanation for the missile shutdowns; it was generally accepted that UFOs were the cause.
32. Strategic Air Command (SAC) expressed grave concern over the Echo Flight shutdown, stating they had no explanation and demanding a full investigation by Boeing, confirming it was not a test.
33. SAC demanded Boeing investigate the Echo Flight incident, where security and maintenance personnel reported UFOs directly over the site when missiles shut down. One strike team member specifically saw a large round object directly over the site.
34. Ray Fowler, a Sylvania Corporation manager, received reports linking UFOs to missile shutdowns and passed this information, including witness details, to Roy Craig, the Condon investigation's chief investigator.
35. Lieutenant Colonel Lewis Chase, the Malmstrom base UFO officer, denied knowledge of UFO involvement in missile failures or their status when interviewed by Condon investigator Roy Craig, despite having previously reported such activity in writing.
36. Chase's denial was a deliberate attempt to prevent the Condon investigation from reporting UFO involvement in missile shutdowns, as the Air Force aimed for a whitewash of the UFO phenomenon.
37. The Condon investigation was predetermined by the Air Force to be a scientific facade that would conclude nothing. Internal communications, including a memo by Robert Low and a letter from Chase, reveal a concerted effort to dismiss UFO incidents and public interest.
38. Colonel Robert Hiper suggested EMP from nuclear testing caused the shutdowns, a precursor to the recent Wall Street Journal article's claim of a non-nuclear EMP test. Both explanations are considered cover stories, despite the historical and technical inaccuracies of the latter.
39. The Department of Energy confirmed no nuclear tests took place on the relevant dates in March 1967, disproving the claim that EMP from nuclear testing caused the missile shutdowns.
40. In 1967, non-nuclear EMPs were not operationally deployed on live nuclear weapons. Experimental setups required immense, immobile superstructures that took days to build, precluding any secret deployment without detection by officers and guards.
41. Boeing bench-tested a missile's "logic coupler," a guidance computer, and managed to temporarily shut down its guidance system with specific electrical input.
42. Boeing identified an external signal as the cause of the missile shutdowns but admitted they could not explain how it rapidly and simultaneously penetrated each missile, bypassing their triple-shielded cables.
43. Boeing's lead investigators for the incident personally admitted they could not explain how the signal penetrated the missile systems.
44. The Malmstrom incident and its subsequent handling by the Air Force eroded Salace's confidence in the service's integrity, causing him to reconsider his planned Air Force career.
45. Eight days prior, Lieutenant Walt Feele's Echo Flight experienced a similar event: a missile shut down, maintenance personnel reported hovering objects, and shortly thereafter, all 10 of his missiles went off alert.
46. At Minot Air Force Base in September 1966, security personnel reported UFOs over the facility, and the incoming crew found all 10 missiles off alert and unlaunchable, directly linking it to the UFO activity.
47. Thirty missiles were rendered inoperable by UFO activity between September 1966 and March 1967 across different bases.
48. Robert Hastings, while working at Malmstrom in 1967, was shown five "unknown" blips on a NORAD radar scope by an operator, possibly coinciding with Salace's incident.
49. In 1993, John Mills and others observed a UFO near Malmstrom, and the base was reportedly "swarmed." Chris Langan also witnessed a large, elliptical UFO near Malmstrom while working for the Forest Service.
50. The Air Force shut down Project Blue Book in 1969, citing the Condon investigation's conclusion that UFOs were not a national security concern and stopping public reporting and internal investigations.
51. UFO incidents continued after Project Blue Book's closure, including NORAD reports over Malmstrom missile bases in 1975. Salace documented roughly 13 such incidents involving nuclear weapons.
52. Salace reported that he personally did not experience backlash or reprisals for publicly sharing his UFO testimony, a contrast to some of his colleagues.
53. Salace signed an NDA regarding the incident. After learning in 1996 that he had mistakenly attributed his experience to the Echo Flight instead of Oscar Flight, he chose to continue speaking publicly, knowingly violating his NDA.
54. After the incident, Salace and his commander were instructed by their visibly shaken squadron commander to sign an NDA presented by an AFOSI (Air Force Office of Special Investigation) agent, a common procedure following nuclear UFO incidents.
55. A genuine, secret UFO investigation has occurred beneath public projects since 1947, involving the study of retrieved craft and non-human intelligences. Public-facing initiatives like Project Blue Book were used to manage public perception and excitement.
56. Project Sign, established in 1948 as a precursor to Blue Book, accumulated sufficient evidence to conclude UFOs were extraterrestrial. Their "Estimate of the Situation" briefing for General Vandenberg affirmed that the observed objects' maneuvers were beyond known Earth technology.
57. Vandenberg dismissed the extraterrestrial findings of Project Sign, ordering Blue Book to suppress such conclusions. This led to Project Grudge, characterized by disinformation efforts.
58. The Robertson Panel instructed the infiltration of UFO groups and measures to manage public excitement about UFOs, a practice allegedly continuing to the present.
59. Edward Condon, previously involved in the Manhattan Project, lost his security clearance and was asked to resign after being controversially accused of being a Russian spy by J. Edgar Hoover.
60. After losing his security clearance, Condon worked at the University of Colorado. Around 1966, Lou Branscom proposed he lead an Air Force UFO study, suggesting it might help him regain his clearance.
61. During an American Institute of Physics interview, Condon became evasive when questioned about reviewing classified material for the Condon Commission, ambiguously suggesting he might have seen "a video or two."
62. FBI agent Guy Hodddle maintained a dossier on Condon through the 1950s after Condon's security clearance was revoked.
63. Condon was fired from the Manhattan Project early on because of his advocacy for greater transparency regarding nuclear information, clashing with Leslie Groves.
64. Condon, having been marginalized and losing his security clearance over alleged sympathies, was deemed a suitable figure for discrediting the UFO phenomenon, given his compromised standing.
65. Condon authored the McMahon Secrecy Act of 1946, whose language was largely adopted into the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, thereby establishing secrecy protocols pertinent to UFOs.
66. The motive to discredit Salace stems from the imperative to protect the doctrine of nuclear deterrence. Reports of UFOs disabling nuclear weapons challenge national security, compelling the Department of Defense to account for these vulnerabilities.
67. The concept of nuclear deterrence, originating in the 1950s, fueled an arms race that peaked at 32,000 nuclear weapons by 1967. Currently, 20,000 nuclear weapons exist among nine nations, with ongoing concerns about proliferation.
68. Nuclear weapons technology is widely accessible, and the means to construct such weapons are readily available, suggesting any determined nation could acquire them.
69. Beyond the incidents in his book, Salace indicates numerous other witnesses to UFO interactions at nuclear facilities exist. Many are deterred from coming forward due to NDAs and fear for their careers or safety.
70. An Air Force Academy friend revealed to Salace that he had flown a craft resembling a UFO, suggesting back-engineered technology. The highly classified nature of the craft prevented further details from being shared.
71. Salace affirmed his friend's trustworthiness, based on their close relationship developed over four years at the Air Force Academy and a decade beyond.
72. Salace mentioned he knows other undisclosed witnesses who could corroborate these claims.
73. Robert Hastings documented 167 Q-cleared individuals who signed NDAs after nuclear-related UFO incidents, implying thousands more such witnesses exist, particularly at nuclear sites.
74. UFO sightings frequently occur near nuclear facilities, as evidenced by incidents like the Aerial School sighting near a uranium mine and Pascagoula near nuclear subs. This pattern suggests a possible connection to advanced scientific or energy sites beyond just nuclear.
75. Non-human intelligences perceive humanity as warlike, particularly concerning nuclear weapons. Having presumably navigated similar destructive phases in their own evolution, they seek to guide humanity towards peace and the abolition of nuclear arms.
76. Current global tensions, including the Iran-Israel conflict, Russia's tactical nuke threats, and Pakistan's potential instability, heighten the risk of nuclear war. The present multipolar nuclear landscape is considered more perilous than the Cold War era.
77. An overt disclosure by non-human intelligence could happen during a severe nuclear crisis, like a modern Cuban Missile Crisis, possibly involving direct intervention with weapons.
78. H.G. Wells' 1914 novel "The World Set Free" accurately predicted the atomic bomb and nuclear power generation, including near-accurate dates for reactor development and descriptions of atomic splitting and transmutation.
79. Einstein and a colleague presented H.G. Wells' book to FDR, sparking fears of Germany developing an atomic bomb. This spurred the initiation of the Manhattan Project to preempt Nazi Germany's nuclear ambitions.
80. Germany's early nuclear program, under Heisenberg, faltered by focusing on a heavy water (deuterium) engine.
81. Speculation connects UFO propulsion to deuterium reactors, leading to a theory that German scientists might have inadvertently been exploring a technology akin to that used by non-human intelligences.
82. Advanced non-human intelligences, having likely navigated their own periods of conflict and destructive technology, are believed to desire humanity's peaceful coexistence and the elimination of nuclear weapons.
83. The Department of Defense's nuclear deterrence strategy is deemed unsustainable because it incentivizes other nations to acquire nuclear weapons, escalating global risk rather than ensuring security.
84. The New START Treaty under President Obama demonstrated that global nuclear abolition is possible, as it aimed to reduce US and Russian operational nuclear weapons and included a verification mechanism.
85. J. Robert Oppenheimer declared that humanity must not believe nuclear weapons cannot be abolished entirely.
86. Past denuclearization efforts include JFK's overtures to Khrushchev and Obama's 2022 proposal for a Ukraine peace deal.
87. Former Russian President Medvedev, on April Fool's Day, discussed extensive UFO files and a nuclear connection, suggesting serious Russian official interest in the topic.
88. Multiple Russian officials have confirmed their government studies UFOs, implying global incidents.
89. Guglielmo Marconi reportedly headed a secret Italian committee, the RS33, under Mussolini, to investigate the 1933 Magenta, Italy, UFO crash, a claim supported by his grandson.
90. The Magenta crash craft might have been studied in Nazi Germany. Werner von Braun, a key figure in the US space program, allegedly confirmed to astronaut Gordon Cooper that Nazi Germany reverse-engineered UFOs and developed a flying model.
91. Herman Oberth, mentor to Werner von Braun and a Paperclip scientist, publicly discussed UFOs, their use of time manipulation, and how their existence challenged reality.
92. Based on a friend's testimony, Salace is convinced that the US has back-engineered and flown recovered UFO craft.
93. Salace believes genetic studies have been conducted on tissue from recovered non-human beings, with this information being withheld from the public.
94. Salace holds hope for disclosure but recognizes the formidable "UFO cabal," a globally organized and funded entity, dedicated to maintaining secrecy for reasons of greed and power.
95. Salace challenges the Wall Street Journal, Joel Shechtman, and Sean Kirkpatrick of AARO to produce evidence supporting their EMP test claim. He asserts their failure to do so demonstrates an intent to discredit witnesses, aligning with the "secrecy cabal's" methods.
96. Salace submitted a detailed 1100-1200 word rebuttal to the Wall Street Journal, outlining 14 reasons against the EMP theory, but it was rejected for exceeding their 270-word limit, which he deemed absurd.
97. The Wall Street Journal's rejection of a former cabinet member's op-ed, which criticized lack of civilian oversight on UFO programs, combined with their published "hit piece," is cited as evidence of their bad faith.
98. Congress established AARO, but the office is failing its mandate by not thoroughly investigating reports like Salace's. Despite receiving a comprehensive briefing and documentation, AARO declined to verify his claims with the Air Force, citing previous non-cooperation.
99. Sean Kirkpatrick and AARO's debunking attempts are characterized as lazy, citing inconsistent and anachronistic explanations, such as referencing a 1970s EMP model for a 1967 incident.
100. Sean Kirkpatrick is suspected of providing disinformation to national security reporters, who then publish it without verification, effectively discrediting UFO accounts.
101. Congress must compel the Air Force to answer questions about UAP incidents, including Salace's, to conduct a thorough investigation.
102. The host recommends viewing his documentary on UFOs and nuclear weapons with Robert Hastings, his video refuting the Wall Street Journal, and supporting Randy Anderson's Alpha Rising program for veterans and first responders, which details a suspected off-world technology division at Naval Surface Warfare Crane.
