Malmstrom AFB 1967 et Minot AFB 1968

James,

First – your dad has not lied about anything nor do [I] believe that he is even capable of lying about anything at all. He was, is, and always will be an honorable man. You should remember that always – I will.

Second – Bob Salas was never associated with any shutdown of any missiles at any time in any flight and you can take that to the bank. Just think about this for a split second. He is a person wrapped up in UFOs to the Nth degree. Yet he could not remember he was not at Echo. Then he thought he was at November – wrong again. Then he thought he was at Oscar – wrong again.

Third – There is no record about anything happening at November or Oscar except in people’s minds that are flawed beyond imagination. Salas has created events out of the thin air and can’t get the facts straight even then. My best friend to this day was the flight commander of the 10th SMS at the time. He and I have discussed this silly assertion in the past couple of years – he thinks it is all madeup nonsense for sure. I put both Salas and Hastings in touch with him and he has told them both that an incident at November or Oscar never happened. In addition he was subsequently stationed at Norton AFB where the engineers tested the possible problems. No little green men were responsible.

Fourth – I have always maintained that I do not nor have I ever believed that UFOs exist in any form at any place at any time. I have never seen one or reported that I have seen one. I have always maintained that they had nothing to do with the shutdown of Echo flight in Montana.

Fifth – The event at Malmstrom has a hand written log from me that was turned in just like all the other logs that I wrote over several years. I would think that if I wrote something like that in the log, there would be copies, it would have been classified at the beginning and then released along with the classified SAC messages and base reports. Nothing in that urgent SAC message even hints of UFOs at all and I think that it would if the official logs or telephone calls had referenced that fact.

Sixth – When it happened, neither your dad nor I were “visibly shaken” by the events. It was just another day with a unexpected event in our lives. It was rather underwhelming at the time. No one rushed out to see us, no one made us sign any papers, no one interrogated us for hours on end.

There is no Air Force “cover-up” it just did not happen the way Salas and [Hastings] has portrayed the course of events. I am sorry that you are all caught up in a pissing contest with these people, I really am. They are just not going to let go no matter what you say or do. He has made a 15 year career pandering about the country talking about things he has no knowledge about. I am not at all interested in taking them on – it’s not worth my effort – I have more important things to do with my life. I much rather just stay out of it.

Hopefully, we can move on. I did read about a briefing on the 27th here in DC. I am here in VA about 10 miles away. Interesting. Hopefully this helps you and confirms to you at least that your dad is a straight shooter and does not lie to anyone.

Sincerely,
Walt Figel

N'importe quel épisode historique (Bataille de L.A. ; Shutdown des missiles d'Echo Flight ; le cas du RB47H, etc) peut devenir un cas solide de l'ufologie pro HET-véhiculaire... pour peu que des ufologues pro-HET véhiculaire s'en emparent...

Thank you,

At 4:49 p.m. the outside and interior security alarms of safety for the Oscar 7 missile silo were activated at the control desk located sixteen kilometers (ten miles) away. A security team was dispatched and discovered that not only was the fence open but the horizontal door closing the missile silo was also open. This reinforced-concrete door weighed nearly twenty tons and there were no tire tracks nor any record of a visit that could account for this.

En 1968, il n'y a qu'un seul incident possible, c'est celui de Minot AFB, mais les témoignages décrivent seulement l'ouverture d'une écoutille d'accès au silo (pour le personnel) que l'on voit sur la première photo :

Ce n'est pas le couvercle en béton armé au dessus du missile.

Dans son livre, UFOs : Generals, Pilots & Government Officials Go On the Record, Leslie Kean confond aussi la porte horizontale du silo (de près de 20 tonnes) et l'écoutille d'accès de l'incident de Minot AFB, 24 octobre 1968.

Bob Rekin a écrit:Ancien directeur du SEPRA ?

Gilles F. a écrit:Les zitis suivants la procédure USAF pour pénétrer dans le silo (pour le personnel), c'est plutôt "rigolo".

Peut-être. Il ne faut pas qu'il soit identifiable en plus de ne pas être nommé, vois-tu...

Vive l'informatique et la liberté !

nablator a écrit:
Oui le ziti respecte la procédure.

Ensuite il ne fait pas sauter le cadenas du périmètre extérieur avec son rayon désintégrateur, mais utilise bêtement une clé (ou une technique zeta-réticulienne de crochetage de serrure)

Faut-il vraiment que je fasse des périphrases ridicules pour ne pas mettre de "données personnelles" sur le forum ?
