2017: Hastings' UFOs and Nukes 2nd Ed. on Nuclear Sites
Researcher Robert Hastings published the second edition of UFOs and Nukes in May 2017, compiling interviews with over 150 military veterans about UFO sightings at U.S. nuclear facilities including Malmstrom and Minot AFBs.
Background
Publication and Content
In May 2017, Robert Hastings brought out the revised second edition of his book UFOs and Nukes. The work draws together conversations with more than 150 former service members who observed unidentified flying objects at nuclear bases, storage sites, and test ranges.
Locations Affected
Hastings describes incidents at ICBM sites such as Malmstrom, Minot, F. E. Warren, Ellsworth, Vandenberg, and Walker Air Force Bases in the United States. He also points to activity at nuclear weapons storage sites at Wurtsmith and Loring AFB, and at RAF Bentwaters in England.
Witnesses and Evidence
The reports come from air force personnel who saw UFOs near missile silos, often in connection with malfunctions of nuclear weapons. Hastings's collection is presented as evidence of a sustained interest by unknown objects in human nuclear technology since the Second World War.
Significance
The documentation contributes to the debate about UAP at nuclear facilities and rests on veterans' testimony and declassified documents. It implies long-term surveillance of critical military sites.
