Former Sheriff: “They Suddenly Stopped and Changed Direction”
Harry Gilloway described sightings in Nebraska that lasted about six months. He says he doesn’t know what the objects were.
Researcher Robert Hastings argues that unidentified phenomena follow nuclear sites and that the site in Kemmerer, Wyoming, may attract them, too. His claims rest on testimony without independent documentation; former military personnel offer other explanations for the sightings.
In Kemmerer, Wyoming, where Natrium is building its next-generation nuclear reactor, researcher Robert Hastings believes the site will attract unidentified phenomena, too. He told the Cowboy State Daily, which published the interview on October 29. Hastings, who lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, believes “nonhuman entities” are behind the phenomena and are trying to “save us from ourselves.”
In 1967, all 10 Minuteman missiles at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana were disabled at once. Former launch crew members told Hastings that a large object was reported hovering over a missile site at the time. Hastings says he has interviewed hundreds of military veterans and intelligence community personnel, but no independent documentation has been presented to support their accounts. He has also not explained how, in his view, the phenomena are connected to the reactor or the missiles.
What Happened at Warren in 2010
In early 2010, operators at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne lost contact with a squadron of 50 nuclear missiles while an unidentified craft was reportedly in the area. It was the last incident Hastings formally investigated. The official explanation is that a fault in a receiver card in an underground communications cable disabled the remaining missiles in the field. No detailed explanation was released.
Harry Gilloway, who served as sheriff of Kimball County, Nebraska, where some of Warren’s missile fields are located, says he was never given an explanation for what happened. Soon afterward, drones appeared over the county. Many people saw them, including Gilloway and his deputies. “The only thing I could tell was that they didn’t move like an airplane,” he said. “They suddenly stopped and changed direction at a 45-degree angle. And what were they? I don’t know.” The sightings continued for about six months, he says, then stopped.
What People on the Ground Say
Tucker Fagan, a former wing commander at Warren, says most of what people see in the skies over military bases has nothing to do with aliens. People who jump to extraterrestrial conclusions, he says, often don’t understand how a remote base operates. Security personnel work at night, sometimes alone, and can be startled by lights in the sky. Fagan wasn’t at Malmstrom in 1967 and considers that incident a legend, not a fact.
Fagan doesn’t believe anyone is lying, but no tangible proof has ever emerged. He says radar and satellite systems operating around the clock in the United States and other major powers would surely have detected such proof. “Show me the meat,” he says, meaning: show me real evidence. Hastings and Bickard believe some kind of cover-up lies behind the phenomenon, but Fagan says that theory doesn’t fit the way a missile base operates.
