Former US Air Force officer Robert Salas recently stirred conversation during a congressional hearing when he suggested that extraterrestrials are trying to send a clear, three-word message regarding nuclear weapons: “WTF.”
Salas, who served as a USAF captain, shared his views in a discussion with Congresswoman Nancy Mace.
The exchange was recorded during a special hearing on UFOs and later shared on social media by the Total Disclosure Podcast.
Salas’s comments drew attention as he recounted incidents where unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were seen near nuclear facilities around the world.
UFO encounter
According to Salas, these UFO sightings did not inflict any serious damage on the weapons systems but did disrupt their navigation systems.
When asked what he believed the extraterrestrial visitors were trying to communicate, he interpreted it as a critique of nuclear armaments: “To me, that says they were sending us a message about nuclear weapons: ‘WTF, nuclear weapons.'”
While he expressed regret for using strong language in front of Congresswoman Mace, she seemed unperturbed by his choice of words.
Salas’s remarks came amid ongoing discussions led by experts who argue that alien entities have made multiple visits to significant nuclear missile bases every year.
Aliens turned off ten nukes
One of the most striking claims from Salas is regarding an incident at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, where he alleged a UFO disabled ten warheads.
In this encounter, he described the UFO as having an eerie red glow as it sped through the night sky on March 24, 1967.
The then-26-year-old lieutenant reported that the UFO pilots appeared to have an in-depth understanding of the missile systems.
At the time of the incident, Malmstrom was in control of Minuteman I intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
Today, it operates the more advanced Minuteman III systems. In his exchange with Congresswoman Mace, Salas detailed how, despite the UFO shutting down the missiles, no damage occurred:
“No equipment was fried. Nothing was damaged,” he stated.
Salas believes the extraterrestrial visitors aren’t hostile but rather a “pacifist species,” implying their intention is peaceful rather than aggressive.
He explained that the shutdown was caused by an “intermittent electrical pulse,” which affected a component of the guidance system known as the logic coupler.
The missile’s guidance system failed without this part properly functioning properly, resulting in an automatic shutdown.
However, he noted that all missiles were restored to alert status within 24 hours.
This incident wasn’t isolated; Salas claimed his crew commander had experienced a similar encounter just eight days earlier.
He emphasized that in both situations, no significant damage was reported. Salas interprets these events as a clear message from the unknown visitors about the threats posed by nuclear weapons.
Furthermore, he revealed that he was bound by a non-disclosure agreement that restricted him from discussing the classified incident for years.
Salas’s name is well-known among those who believe in UFOs, also called unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). Many maintain that these entities have visited Earth for decades.
As discussions on UFOs and their implications for global security continue to unfold, Salas’s testimony adds a provocative perspective to the ongoing conversation about nuclear weapons and potential extraterrestrial awareness of human activities.
