To put things in perspective, Malmstrom AFB is located about
eighty-five to one hundred miles west of these two LCC's and
their accompanying missile silos. It is just to the east of
Great Falls, Montana. The 490th Strategic Missile Squadron
is responsible for a total of fifty missile silos; ten per
LCC; and thus, a total of fifty Minuteman ICBM missiles. At
the Global Security website, I found the following
description of the LCC and LF layout:

----- Begin Quote -----

"The Minuteman missile is maintained on alert in an unmanned,
hardened underground launch facility (LF) approximately 80
feet deep, 12 feet in diameter, and covered by a 100-ton
blast door which is blown prior to missile launch. A launcher
support building (LSB) buried near the launch tube contains
environmental control equipment and standby power sources. An
electronic surveillance system is used at the LF to detect
intruders. The missiles are deployed in "circular" flights of
ten missiles controlled by a single, centrally located launch
control center (LCC) manned by a Missile Combat Crew. The LCC
contains all equipment needed by the crew to control and
monitor the missile and the LF. Each LCC is separated from
the others by a minimum of 14 miles and is buried at a depth
of 40 to 100 feet below grade. The missile alert facility
(MAF) topside contains living quarters and support equipment
for the facility meager (FM), cook, and security personnel.
The 490 MS consists of 50 LFs, located at least three miles
from adjacent missiles for survivability, arranged in five
flights (Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, and Oscar), all
redundantly interconnected by a buried, hardened cable
network which connect them with the LCCs. Each LCC
continually monitors the operational status and security of
the ten missiles and LFs in its own flight and has the
capability to control, monitor, and launch all 50 missiles in
the squadron. Launch, if directed, must be commanded by at
least two different LCCs in the squadron or by the airborne
launch control center (ALCC) aboard a modified EC-135."

Personally, I find all of this information very sobering, if
not a bit unnerving. It shows how very serious the U.S.A. is
regarding its defensive system. Perhaps the part that alarms
me the most, is how easily an American president can launch
an attack, if he deems it prudent to do so. There is no one
between him and the LCC's. If he gives the order, they must
follow it. Consider this:

----- Begin Quote -----

"The primary mission of each alert duty crew is the same: be
prepared at any moment, upon receipt of valid execution
orders initiated by the President of the United States, to
launch one or more intercontinental ballistic missiles
against enemy targets. The missile crew in effect responds
directly to the President. There is no intermediate or
intervening authority."

Given his obsession with his so-called "Axis of Evil", I can
only imagine how President Bush would react if he felt the
United States was seriously threatened by Iran, North Korea,
or any other member of the nuclear club.

As I'll be sharing in a moment, the Echo-Flight LCC observed
UFO's, and experienced missile shut-downs that same morning
in March of 1967. The testimony of Captain Salas appears to
be corroborated by Lt. Colonel Dwynne Arneson, who seems to
be describing the very same events discussed by Capt. Salas.
In his testimony to The Disclosure Project, Arneson stated:

----- Begin Quote -----

"I was the top-secret control officer at Malmstom AFB for
the 20th Air Division. I happened to see a message that came
through my communications center. It said . . . that 'A UFO
was seen near missile silos' . . . and it was hovering. It
said that the crew going on duty and the crew coming off
duty all saw the UFO just hovering in mid-air. It was a
metallic circular object; and from what I understand, the
missiles were all shut down. What I mean by 'missiles going
down', is that they went dead. And something turned those
missiles off, so they couldn't be put back in a mode for
launching."

The previous UFO incident, as described by Salas and Arneson,
is commonly referred to in UFO circles as the Malmstrom AFB
UFO Incident. The CUFON, (Computer UFO Network), site offers
additional information which helps us to fill in some of the
details which are not included in the previous quotes from
Captain Salas and Lt. Colonel Arneson; and tells us what was
happening at the Echo-Flight Launch Control Center, at the
same time that UFO's were also being observed about fourteen
miles away at the Oscar-Flight LCC. Again, relying upon the
"Fair Use" clause, I am sharing the following information
written by Jim Klotz, as found on the CUFON website:

----- Begin Quote -----

"In central Montana, Thursday morning March 16 1967, Captain
Eric Carlson and First Lieutenant. Walt Figel, the
Echo-Flight Missile Combat Crew, were below ground in the
E-Flight Launch Control Center (LCC) or capsule. The Echo
Flight LCC was located between Winfred and Hilger, about
fifteen miles north of Lewistown.

Missile maintenance crews and security teams were camped out
at two of the Launch Facilities (LFs), having performed some
work during the previous day and stayed there overnight.
During the early morning hours, more than one report came in
from the security patrols and maintenance crews that they had
seen UFOs. A UFO was reported directly above one of the
E-Flight (LF) or silos. It turned out that at least one
security policeman was so affected by this encounter that he
never again returned to missile security duty.

Around 8:30 a.m., Figel, the Deputy Crew Commander (DMCCC),
was briefing Carlson, the Crew Commander (MCCC), on the
flight status when the alarm horn sounded. One of the
Minuteman missiles they supervised had gone off alert (become
inoperable). It was one of the two sites where maintenance
crews had camped out on-site. Upset, thinking that the
maintenance personnel had failed to notify him as required by
procedure when maintenance work is done on a missile, that
the missile was going 'off-alert' status, Figel immediately
called the missile site.

When Figel spoke with the on-site security guard, he reported
that they had not yet performed any maintenance that morning.
He also stated that a UFO had been hovering over the site.
Figel recalls thinking the guard must have been drinking
something. However, now other missiles started to go off
alert in rapid succession! Within seconds, the entire flight
of ten ICBMs was down! All of their missiles reported a
"No-Go" condition. One by one across the board, each missile
had became inoperable. When the checklist procedure had been
completed for each missile site, it was discovered that each
of the missiles had gone off alert status due to a Guidance
and Control (G&C) System fault. Power had not been lost to
the sites; the missiles simply were not operational because,
for some unexplainable reason, each of their guidance and
control systems had malfunctioned.

Two Security Alert Teams (SAT, "strike teams") were
dispatched from Echo to those sites where the maintenance
crews were present. Figel had not informed the strike teams
that one of the on-site guards had reported a UFO. On arrival
at the LF's, the SAT reported back that UFOs had been seen
hovering over each of the two sites by all of the maintenance
and security personnel present at each site.

Captain Don Crawford's crew relieved the Echo Flight crew
later that morning. Crawford recalls that both Carlson and
Figel were still visibly shaken by what had occurred.
Crawford also recalled that the maintenance crews worked on
the missiles the entire day and late into the night during
his shift to bring them all back on alert. Not only had
missiles been lost to our deterrent forces, but had remained
out of service for an entire day!

Because of this unique incident, as an ex-Missileer describes
it: "All Hell broke loose!" Among the many calls to and from
the E-Flight LCC one was to the MCCC of Oscar-Flight which
links to the equally dramatic story of what happened in
another LCC that same morning."

----- End Quote -----

So as you can plainly see by the previous testimonies, the
personnel at two different Launch Control Centers and their
adjoining Launch Facilities, had observed UFO's on that same
morning in March of 1967. Furthermore, ICBM missiles at both
locations became inoperative for reasons that were unknown
to the personnel there. At the Echo-Flight Launch Command
Center, all ten Minuteman missiles were mysteriously taken
offline; and at the Oscar-Flight LLC, according to Salas'
commander, five missiles were disabled. However, Capt. Salas
continues to believe that it was more than five. Finally,
both groups of people reported these UFO events to their
superior officers, not realizing that the other LCC was
experiencing the very same thing.
