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.

If we nuke everything, it's gonna be difficult for them to plunder our natural resources and turn us into sex slaves.

Be very careful. Aluminium foil will not work effectively. On needs genuine tin foil to be safe.

Excited?

The aliens prefer severely-chaffed orifices. Something about the blood and chunks of tissue rubbing against their bladed tentacles really does it.

What a relief! I was afraid we were going to actually have to discover all of physics and cosmology. You may not realize it, but you've saved us a vast sum of money and the productive lives of scientists who can now skip all that and play facebook games instead.

I haven't yet, but think I've got one coming up in the next half hour.

Wait, I thought we were supposed to be doing this on Twitter not Slashdot....?

For example, you are actually exposed to less radiation while onboard a US nuclear sub than you would receive on the surface.

This is especially true after all the missiles have been launched.
