Some of those incidents involve UFOs deactivating nuclear missiles, he  said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegarding the missile shutdown incidents, my opinion \u2013 their opinion  \u2013 is that whoever are aboard these craft are sending a signal to both  Washington and Moscow, among others, that we are playing with fire,\u201d he  said.<\/p>\n<p>In 1967,&#0160;former Air Force Capt. Robert Salas was in an underground  capsule at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana when the security forces  above told him they had spotted a red glowing object just in front of  the base\u2019s front gate.<\/p>\n<p>After telling the airmen above not to let the object get past the  perimeter fence, the 10 ICBMs he had purview over suddenly became  deactivated, Salas said. He feels the aliens were sending a message,  literally shining a light on nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey could have a lot more damage, permanent damage, to our weapons  systems, and they didn\u2019t,\u201d Salas said. \u201cIf they wanted to destroy them,  with all the powers they seem to have, I think they could have done that  job, so I personally don\u2019t think this was a hostile intent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hastings said UFO sightings near nuclear weapons are ongoing with the  latest sighting occurring at Malmstrom in 2007, but a spokeswoman for  the Air Force Office of Special Investigations said there is no UFO  report about the alleged incident.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about Monday\u2019s news conference, the Air Force referred to a  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.af.mil\/information\/factsheets\/factsheet.asp?id=188\" target=\"_blank\">fact  sheet <\/a>on its website on UFOs that says,\u201cNo UFO reported,  investigated and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of  threat to our national security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Dwynne Arneson was officer in charge of  the communications center at the 28th Air Division in Great Falls,  Montana in 1967 when he saw a message about UFOs shutting down nuclear  missiles in Montana. He later was stationed at a base in Maine where  UFOs were spotted near a nuclear weapons storage area.<\/p>\n<p>He has many questions about these sightings: \u201cAre they  extraterrestrial? Who knows. Are they from other dimensions? Who knows.  Are they from underneath the earth? Who knows. Your guess is as good as  mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>THIS&#0160;STORY&#0160;HAS&#0160;BEEN&#0160;CORRECTED&#0160;FROM&#0160;THE&#0160;ORIGINAL&#0160;VERSION<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stripes.com\/blogs\/stripes-central\/stripes-central-1.8040\/ufo-expert-aliens-cautioning-humans-on-nukes-1.119813\" target=\"_self\">http:\/\/www.stripes.com\/blogs\/stripes-central\/stripes-central-1.8040\/ufo-expert-aliens-cautioning-humans-on-nukes-1.119813<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jeff Schogol Published: September 27, 2010 Retired Air Force Lt.
