The nuclear advent at the end of the '40s seems to have exacerbated the wave of UFO sightings. Interesting scan of a National Enquirer article from 1979 by Bob Pratt.

And there's lots of fascinating stuff to be found on the NICAP nuclear connection website.

Its because the first Alien/UFO moveis came out around that time. Before then if people saw something they wouldn't right away say UFO, they would probably say it was the Germans.

Obviously, you're referring to the embedded Hollywood screenplayers that were activated to discredit dramatic UFO waves in 1942 and 1952. 'Coincidently', the first War of the Worlds movie was released one year later.

Delta....remember Orson Welles radio version of War of the Worlds was broadcast in 1938....and was written long before that...it had people thinking about aliens long before Roswell "happened"

HP Lovecraft wrote about aliens in the 20s - 30s.

Call of Cthulhu in 1926, The Colour out of Space in 1927, and The Whisperer in the Dark in 1930. The Shadow out of Time 1934-35.

These involved intergalactic travel, higher dimensions, time travel (of sorts), aliens, conspiracies, secret underground bases and so on.

Read the modern reports at wiki.

Maybe they just wanted a front row seat for the final show....but since we seem to be heading away from mutual assured distruction...(at least for now)...maybe they are being a bit more scarce.

thats too conspiracy theory for me

Another theory is that UFO's are our own craft and technology was accelerated during World War 2.

Germans were working on UFO type designs, how far they got is much debated but they were definetly at least drawing up plans for stuff.

UFO sightings at ICBM sites and nuclear Weapons Storage Areas

By Robert L. Hastings

Although the vast majority of Americans are completely unaware of its existence, the UFO/Nukes Connection is now remarkably well-documented. Air Force, FBI, and CIA files declassified via the Freedom of Information Act establish a convincing, ongoing pattern of UFO activity at U.S. nuclear weapons sites extending back to December 1948.

For more than 30 years, I have been interviewing former and retired U.S. Air Force personnel regarding their direct or indirect involvement in nuclear weapons-related UFO sighting incidents. These individuals—from retired colonels to former airmen—report extraordinary encounters which have obvious national security implications. In fact, taken to their logical conclusion, the reported incidents have planetary implications, given the horrific consequences that would result from a full-scale, global nuclear war.

At the time of their experiences, my former/retired USAF sources held positions ranging from nuclear missile launch and targeting officers, to missile maintenance personnel, to missile security police. The incidents described occurred at Malmstrom, Minot, F.E. Warren, Ellsworth, Vandenberg, and Walker AFBs, between 1963 and 1996. Other sources were stationed at Wurtsmith and Loring AFBs, where B-52 nuclear bombers were based during the Cold War era.

To date, I have interviewed over 50 individuals who were involved in various UFO-related incidents at Strategic Air Command bases or remote sites. I have selected the statements of 20 of those persons for presentation here. An expanded discussion of this material will appear in my forthcoming book, The UFO/Nukes Connection.

The testimony below is admittedly anecdotal evidence. Nevertheless, it is offered—often reluctantly—by persons who were entrusted by the U.S. government with the operation or security of weapons of mass destruction. As such, each source was subjected to, and passed, rigorous background checks and personality tests designed to ascertain, with a reasonable degree of certainty, their psychological stability and reliability.

For the moment, the international tensions of the Cold War era have receded. Consequently, the U.S. and Russia are currently downsizing their nuclear arsenals. Nevertheless, vast numbers of nukes still exist and may be unleashed at a moment’s notice. Therefore, these weapons remain a potential threat to the future of the human race.

The events described below leave little doubt that our nuclear weapons program is an ongoing source of interest to someone possessing vastly superior technology. Significantly, the reported UFO activity occasionally transcends mere surveillance and appears to involve direct and unambiguous interference with our strategic weapons systems.

Considering these and similar accounts—too numerous and credible to dismiss—I would argue, as others have before me, that the heightened presence of the UFO phenomenon since the end of World War II is a direct consequence of the advent of the Nuclear Age. To suggest that this is the only explanation for widespread UFO sightings during our own era would be presumptuous, simplistic, and undoubtedly inaccurate. Nevertheless, I believe that the nuclear weapons-related incidents are integral to an understanding of the mystery at hand.

Coast 2 coast am had an intersting show lastnight. a man who was saying the UFO's not only took over nukes but enguaged launch sequence in former ussr i think? not sure i was falling asleep but what they where getting at was that it is clearly a matter of national security.

Don't think you can believe everything on there, but it's interesting.

DT posts: UFO sightings at ICBM sites and nuclear Weapons Storage Areas

The History Channel’s UFO Files aired an episode on this. Very interesting. ~rore

I think you have a correct observation there. It is more than a little step is the evolution of a race technologically when atomic power starts getting underway. At that point from the stand point of an alien race, you can start to count the days until they either blow them selves up or come knocking at your front door.

If I was the head of a observation team of a growing race and found they were playing with nuclear bombs I would watch it closely. It is not a small matter.

Thanks Im gonna spend some time reading that site.

I have a theory regarding your posting. If we suppose that UFO's and Aliens have been making occasional visits to the Earth, and there certainly appears to be enough evidence to support this, they will not have failed to notice the very first Atomic Bomb tests by the United States of America. I imagine that the Aliens response would have been something like, "Oh, God"! "The children have found the matches"! "We must keep an eye on them before they burn the whole place down"!
The Human Race have proved in the past that they are quite capable of destroying themselves without anybody's help. We're good like that, aren't we? I know this is only my own personal theory but it certainly makes sense to me, what do you think?

They are following us, perhaps they are flown by regular people
so thats how they know where everything is.

NASA will have no more live video feeds after UFOs followed us
in low earth orbit.

Now we have them showing up on YouTube.


Its not a big problem so why explain it. If some guy posting
on YouTube thinks they are living creatures glowing in orbit
feeding off the atmosphere then whats the harm.


The NAZI claims that they built the many saucers and happened on the UFO
got researcher Lyne so he wrote his book claiming the technology went back to Tesla.
