Robert SalasFormer U.S. Air Force Captain Robert Salas, a key witness to one of the most significant UFO incidents in military history, has issued a forceful response to the Wall Street Journal’s recent article about Pentagon disinformation. In his rebuttal, Salas dismantles the government’s latest attempt to explain away the 1967 Malmstrom missile incident, accusing officials of spreading falsehoods to conceal the truth. The Wall Street Journal’s June 6 article cited the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) claiming the 1967 incident, where ten nuclear missiles mysteriously failed during a UFO encounter, was actually caused by a secret electromagnetic pulse test. Salas, who was on duty that night, calls this explanation “a fantasy” and provides multiple reasons why it cannot be true. During a two-hour presentation to AARO investigators in February 2023, Salas says they never mentioned any “terrestrial explanation” for the incident. When he asked if they would verify his account with the Air Force, they admitted the USAF was not cooperating with their investigation. This lack of basic verification raises serious questions about AARO’s claims. The Journal’s description of a massive 60-foot EMP generator near the missile site directly contradicts the experience of personnel stationed there. Salas notes that such a device would have been impossible to hide from security teams, yet no one reported seeing it. More importantly, missile crews were never briefed about EMP testing – an unthinkable oversight during the Cold War when nuclear readiness was paramount. Declassified documents further undermine the Pentagon’s story. A secret 1967 telex from Strategic Air Command called the missile failures “cause for grave concern” and demanded an investigation. Boeing’s investigative team, led by Robert Kaminski, later concluded there was “no technical explanation” for the shutdowns. Notably, their report never mentioned EMP testing as a possible cause. Multiple eyewitnesses reported seeing a glowing object hovering above the missile silos that night. Security personnel were reportedly terrified by what they saw – a reaction that makes no sense if this was simply an authorized test. Base logs from the time confirm numerous UFO sightings were reported around Malmstrom that evening. From a scientific standpoint, the EMP explanation fails basic scrutiny. Historical nuclear tests like Starfish Prime in 1962 demonstrated that electromagnetic pulses cause permanent damage to electronics, yet Malmstrom’s missiles returned to normal operation shortly after the incident. The Department of Energy has confirmed no nuclear tests occurred on the dates in question. Salas’s rebuttal presents a clear case: the Pentagon’s latest explanation doesn’t withstand examination. His account, supported by documentation and multiple witnesses, suggests officials are still attempting to obscure what really happened that night in 1967. The former missile officer is now calling for congressional hearings with sworn testimony from all witnesses and full declassification of documents related to the incident. His challenge to the Wall Street Journal to publish his complete rebuttal puts additional pressure on media outlets to scrutinize the government’s changing narratives. This controversy comes at a critical time as AARO prepares to release more findings about historical UFO cases. Salas’s detailed refutation raises serious questions about whether the forthcoming report will provide genuine transparency or simply repackage old disinformation. As one of the most credible military witnesses to UFO activity near nuclear facilities, Salas’s testimony cannot be easily dismissed. His rebuttal confronts a decades-long pattern of official deception regarding unidentified aerial phenomena and national security.
