Recent discussions at a U.S. congressional hearing have brought renewed attention to claims that aliens are trying to send a message about nuclear weapons through mysterious visits to sensitive military sites.
Robert Salas, who previously served as a military weapons officer, recounted several mysterious incidents involving UFOs at nuclear sites. Speaking at a congressional hearing on UFOs, he described how these unidentified objects allegedly interfered with the navigation systems of nuclear weapons.
While the armaments were left untouched, the disruption raised questions about the intentions behind these encounters.
When pressed on what the message might be, Salas suggested that aliens could be expressing concern over humanity’s use of nuclear weapons. He summed up, “To me, that says that they were sending us a message about nuclear weapons ‘WTF, nuclear weapons’.”
Salas later apologized for his casual phrasing but stood firm in his belief that these events were a form of warning. Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who engaged with Salas during the hearing, appeared unfazed by his remarks.
Researcher Robert Hastings has spent decades collecting testimonies from U.S. military personnel regarding UFO encounters. In an interview, he claimed that UFOs have been repeatedly visiting nuclear missile bases since the 1960s.
According to Hastings, these visits occur at both decommissioned sites and those still in operation today. He cited interviews with numerous service members as the basis for his assertions.
However, Hastings did not provide new evidence during the interview to support these claims. His comments echoed theories he had previously outlined in his book, which speculates on why extraterrestrials might be drawn to nuclear facilities.
He suggested that the consistent visits indicate a broader interest in humanity’s nuclear capabilities, though the precise motives remain unclear.
While Salas and Hastings offer compelling narratives, their accounts lack independent verification. Neither Salas’ claims about disrupted navigation systems nor Hastings’ reports of repeated UFO visits have been substantiated by concrete evidence. This absence of proof about aliens leaving message about nuclear weapons leaves their assertions in anecdotal speculation.
Additionally, skeptics argue that reports of UFO activity near sensitive sites could stem from misinterpretations of natural phenomena or classified military operations rather than extraterrestrial involvement.
Despite the skepticism, these accounts have fueled ongoing discussions about the potential connection between UFOs and nuclear sites.
Advocates like Salas and Hastings suggest that these incidents underscore a possible extraterrestrial concern for global safety. Others see them as a call for greater transparency in government investigations of unidentified aerial phenomena.
