Malmstrom AFB Missile Incident
A UFO hovering over Malmstrom Air Force Base caused 10 nuclear missiles to simultaneously go offline. Air Force personnel witnessed the object and reported the impossible malfunction that security still cannot explain.
Nuclear Missiles Disabled
On March 16, 1967, a UFO appeared over Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana and apparently disabled 10 Minuteman nuclear missiles simultaneously. The incident remains one of the most significant UFO-nuclear connection cases.
