I'm not sure what to say. Aliens Are Monitoring Our Nukes, Worry Ex-Air Force Officers:

quote:
Captain Robert Salas was on duty in Montana in 1967 when a UFO shut down the nuclear missiles on his base. And he's hardly the only one to make such a claim.

On Monday, six former U.S. Air Force officers and one former enlisted man will break their silence about similar events at the National Press Club, all centering around unidentified flying objects and nuclear missiles. They plan to urge the government to publicly confirm the incidents, stating that they were ordered never to discuss the events.

Actually the incident you quoted is a well documented incident. I think they thought it was a new russian aircraft but they had never seen something do that before. I've seen it mentioned in at least 3 or 4 history channel documentaries.

Also, Fox News isn't the only media outlet reporting this.

Same story on Larry King Live

I'm pretty sure this is a quite famous incident. In my opinion it was a new US aircraft testing whether or not they could shut down their own nukes remotely.

No, if Fox news is reporting on it, it must be crazy and absurd.

I'll eat my hat if I'm wrong, but yeah, I'd throw this into the crazy and absurd category.

Now I really want this to be true.

Well, if aliens can and are disarming our nukes, I think eating a hat goes down a few notches on my personal list of unpleasant possibilities.

It's not like it matters. We've seen Independence Day... We know the nukes are useless.

Now, if aliens start disabling Macbooks... it's WAR!!!

We talking a top hat, a baseball cap, or another type?

I vote for an Indiana Jones hat.

I was holding out hope for using one of my daughter's Barbie hats...?
