I was at Bitburg 71st TMS \"B\" Pad Flight B-5 1959-1961. We were \"Select Crew\" I believe it was 1960. We also came back to Cape Canaveral that year for a live firing. Our Missile flew directly over the target and kept going till it ran out of fuel. \"B\" Pad was located outside Rittersdorf.

I am a 60-year-old Air Force brat who researches UFO sightings at nuclear weapons sites. My father, SMSgt. Robert E. Hastings, was career USAF and was stationed at Malmstrom AFB in 1966-67, where UFO sightings at ICBM sites were frequent at the time. That sparked my interest in the subject.

Over the past 37 years I have interviewed more than 120 former or retired USAF personnel who had UFO experiences at ICBM sites, WSAs, or other nukes-related locations. However, to date, I have not been able to locate anyone with a tactical nuclear missile background who had a UFO experience while on the job. Nevertheless, I suspect those individuals do indeed exist.

I was on Larry King Live on July 18, 2008. Appearing with me were three former U.S. Air Force officers who discussed disturbing incidents involving UFOs hovering over our nuclear missile sites, just moments before those missiles malfunctioned.

The King show video is on YouTube at:

I am wondering whether YOU had a UFO experience while in the Air Force? If so, would you be willing to tell me about it? Your response will be kept strictly confidential unless you give me written permission to publicly discuss it.

Thanks for your time and attention.
