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.

Kudos to all involved with the Missile relocation from Florida to Indiana. Great job! George Mindling did a great job on the movie documenting the move. Our organization is blessed to have such people.

Wow--thanks for the great photos from Kadena by Larry Johnson. Best I\'ve seen. I\'m especially blown away by the photos of site 4 after being converted to a buddist temple/conference center.

Congrats to Max and crew for the work at Wildwood in preparation for relocating the B bird. Great project!

Looks like this site is hosted in Hawaii--it\'s 5 hours behind me (here in Orlando).

Yeah, I was a \"typhoon crew volunteer\" in 64-65. We had all the \"comforts of home\" in the missile compound--lights and everything, even popcorn! I got caught \"off island\" by a typhoon in 65 and couldn\'t get back, 4 of us from GSC were on a 2-week vacation in Taiwan and they wouldn\'t let any flights back in.
