Former US Air Force officer Robert Salas recently stirred conversation during a congressional hearing when he suggested that extraterrestrials are trying to send a clear, three-word message regarding nuclear weapons: "WTF." Salas, who served as a USAF captain, shared his views in a discussion with Congresswoman Nancy Mace. He recounted incidents where unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were seen near nuclear facilities around the world. These UFO sightings did not inflict any serious damage on the weapons systems but did disrupt their navigation systems. One of the most striking claims from Salas is regarding an incident at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, where he alleged a UFO disabled ten warheads. In this encounter, he described the UFO as having an eerie red glow as it sped through the night sky on March 24, 1967. The then-26-year-old lieutenant reported that the UFO pilots appeared to have an in-depth understanding of the missile systems. At the time of the incident, Malmstrom was in control of Minuteman I intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Salas believes the extraterrestrial visitors aren't hostile but rather a "pacifist species," implying their intention is peaceful rather than aggressive. This incident wasn't isolated; Salas claimed his crew commander had experienced a similar encounter just eight days earlier. He emphasized that in both situations, no significant damage was reported.
