A retired US Air Force Captain has claimed his encounter with aliens at a nuclear air base saw him receive a three-word message.
And amid rising fears of World War III, it’s a pretty relevant one.
Captain Robert Salas, 82, has claimed that he encountered a flying disc that turned off 10 warheads at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana.
The then USAF Lieutenant, 26, described the UFO as having an eerie red glow as it zoomed along the March 24, 1967 night sky.
The otherworldly beings told him, as he recalled to the podcast Total Disclosure released Monday: ‘WTF!? You have nuclear weapons.’
‘That’s what I think [they meant] .Of course, it’s just my opinion.’
The US Air Force ICBM launch officer claimed that the UFO pilots knew ‘exactly how our systems worked’.
In the 1960s, Malmstrom controlled Minuteman I intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). It’s now of three US Air Force bases that operates Minuteman III.
Speaking with Congresswoman Nancy Mace on the podcast, Salas said: ‘No equipment was fried. Nothing was damaged.’
He belives that these aliens aren’t the War of the Worlds-types but rather a pacifist species.
In other words, they really do come in peace.
‘It was simply intermittent electrical pulse that was delivered to a particular part of the guidance system, called the logic coupler,’ Salas said.

‘Without that piece of equipment working properly, the guidance system would not properly work,’ he added.
‘So, the missile shut itself down. The missiles were all brought back up on alert within 24 hours.’
But according to Salas, this wasn’t the first time the base had a close encounter. His crew commander had a near-identical episode on the nuclear base only eight days before.
‘In none of those incidents was any significant damage done,’ he said.
‘To me, that says they’re sending us a message about nuclear weapons.’
Salas said he was made to sign a non-disclosure agreement to prevent him from speaking about the then-classified 1967 incident.
Salas is a name all too well-known in circles convinced that UFOs, also known as unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP), have visited Earth.
He testified to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), the government’s secretive UFO-hunting agency, in February.
