Former Military Personnel Claim Aliens Are Monitoring Our Nukes

An anonymous reader quotes Reuters "Witness testimony from more than 120 former or retired military personnel points to an ongoing and alarming intervention by unidentified aerial objects at nuclear weapons sites, as recently as 2003. In some cases, several nuclear missiles simultaneously and inexplicably malfunctioned while a disc-shaped object silently hovered nearby. Six former US Air Force officers and one former enlisted man will break their silence about these events at the National Press Club and urge the government to publicly confirm their reality." I won't worry until Gort shows up.

    Just to show this in another light...

    If you were a responsible person in a position of power, perhaps in some covert US task force, or some other friendly but worried power, and saw an idiot like bush in control at the whitehouse... wouldn't you take it upon yourself organise a disarmament too? And if you wanted events at each silo to not get reported back to HQ, what would you disguise the action as?

    There are probably a hundred possible explanations. UFOs are not the most likely. Although granted, maybe this isn't either :)

  2. Implausible story from UFO nut by 0111+1110 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Since when did Reuters report on National Inquirer stories? The source is a UFO nut. The story itself is pretty implausible. Why would aliens travel many light years just to malfunction a few nuclear missiles from time to time? Nothing about it makes sense. If they are advanced enough to build an interstellar spacecraft they are probably also advanced enough to shut down or even disappear every nuclear weapon on the planet.
