Aliens disabled missiles in a powerful warning to humanity, claims a former US Airforce Captain.
Captain Robert Salas says a UFO switched off ten independently run missiles on March 24, 1967 because extraterrestrial life does not want us to use nuclear weapons.
Salas who recalls the unexplained incident in Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, US, adds that the world's intelligence community has covered up decades of alien activity.
He says and his commander at a secret underground launch control facility, were ordered sign a vow of silence regarding the bizarre UFO encounter.
Salas told The Sun Online : "I was in charge of ten nuclear missiles at the time when a UFO came over and hovered over our facility and while it was hovering there it was seen by all our guards.
"I was underground 60ft, locked into a concrete capsule. It was reported to me directly by those guards.
"While the object was up there we lost all ten missiles due to guidance and control failure."
Captain Salas told The Sun Online: "This object, whatever it was, would have had to send a signal to each missile separately and disable the guidance system."
After a team at the facility spent a day trying to work out what was wrong with the missiles, they got them back on but found no damage or explanation to the fault, Salas claims.
He added another missile launch control facility experienced something similar just over a week earlier, on March 16, 1967.
Captain Salas said: "I can only speculate as to why it happened. This was a demonstration by an object of extra extraterrestrial origins and I don’t say that lightly.
"I think it was simply a message to all of us on planet Earth that we need to rid ourselves of nuclear weapons."
Agreeing to never speak of it again as well as hearing countless reports of other UFO sightings, has convinced the Airforce veteran that governments are united in covering alien encounters up.

The reason for all the secrecy could be down to the world's powers benefiting from alien technology as part of a bargaining chip with other worldly civilisations, Salas suggests.
He added to The Sun: "There is a worldwide, let's say, cabal that is exchanging information in secret.
"The intelligence community may be involved in a world cover-up.”
"There are very deeply held secrets. The Roswell case in 1947 which offers plain evidence of two crashes in New Mexico.
"In 1947 our government knew they were dealing with extraterrestrial entities."
