Conspiracy theories about alien spacecraft visiting Earth have been abound for decades. In the 1960s and 70s, UFOs were seen hovering over military bases in the United States, leading people to speculate that an alien invasion might be on the horizon.
While all such reports have been dismissed since then, every now and then someone speaks up about the stories, claiming them to be true. A UFO expert has now claimed that the spaceships visited “every major nuclear missile base” in those years, and they still do.
The revelation was made by Robert Hastings based on several interviews he conducted with several Army personnel, as per The Daily Mail. “The ones that are currently operational, have been visited repeatedly year after year according to the sources that I have interviewed,” he says in his recent book UFOs and Nuke.
He had earlier claimed that more than 120 former service members admitted to having encountered flying objects near nuclear weapon storage and testing grounds. Hastings says in his new book that these extraterrestrial beings seem to be “greatly interested in our nuclear weapons.”
“Perhaps they have a use for our planet, let’s say for scientific purposes, and know that global nuclear warfare will disrupt their data-gathering and/or experiments,” he writes.
Hastings further alleges in his book that these sightings have never been properly investigated because of dubious layers of classification.
These claims come just weeks after new government records showed other UFO sightings near military sites. This includes 17 nights in December 2023 when several UFOs were spotted over Joint Base Langley-Eustis.
Nothing has been revealed yet about those UFOs to date, despite the Pentagon, police and even NASA’s high-altitude research plane, the WB-57F, being involved in the investigation, Daily Mail reported.
‘Alien intelligence understands atomics’
In June this year, a study on UFO sightings concluded that “this intelligence understands atomics, and they understand atomic weaponry.”
The study, conducted by a retired US Air Force staff sergeant, data analyst affiliated with Harvard’s UFO-hunting Galileo Project Ian Porrit and a research team, analysed over 500 of the most credible UFO cases reported during the Cold War. The group focused on official military and police reports of UFOs from 1945 to 1975. Only those with strong backing, like multiple witnesses and signal evidence, were taken into account and anything ambiguous was avoided.
Reports of UFOs spotted above non-nuclear army bases and nearby civilian centres were also taken into account in the study.
The researchers noted that from 1948 through 1975, America’s rise to nuclear power was carefully monitored by extraterrestrials or some other intelligence.
