UFO & Extraterrestrial Disclosure Memes: - UFOs and Nuclear Power - Did UFOs Caused Power Failure at American Nuclear Missile Bases?!


Did UFOs cause power failure at nuclear missile bases? Missile technicians claim sightings coincided with an October outage.

When Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming lost control of 50 nuclear, inter-continental missiles last October, officials said a communication outage was to blame. However, three missile technicians stationed at the base have raised fresh questions in the case, amid reports UFO sightings coincided with the incident. UFO researcher Robert Hastings says eyewitnesses claim the outage also lasted much longer than the Air Force admits. A power failure on October 23, 2010 meant that one-ninth of America’s nuclear arsenal went offline for three-quarters of an hour. A U.S. Air Force spokesman said there had been a 'hardware issue' relating to an underground cable linking the control centre with the missiles. This disrupted ‘communication between the control centre and the missiles, but during that time they were still able to monitor the security of the affected missiles’. Defence officials insisted there was never any danger of an accidental launch. But the incident was deemed serious enough for Barack Obama to be briefed on it later. There was no evidence of foul play and the U.S. never lost the capability to launch the missiles, although it could only have done so from an airborne command and control centre, he said. Another official said there had been similar breakdowns on other bases in the past. But Robert Hastings says more was involved. According to Hastings, three missile maintenance technicians have agreed to speak to him on the condition of anonymity, revealing the military has kept UFO sightings that occurred during the power outage under wraps. The witnesses, he said, reported sightings of 'a large cigar-shaped object high above the missile field'. - Daily Mail.
