“A compelling and heartfelt journey through the minefields and thickets of government secrecy . . . a concise history of the modern UFO phenomenon.” —Thomas J. Carey, bestselling coauthor of Witness to Roswell
In 1969 the US Air Force issued a statement that read‚ “No UFO reported, investigated and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security.” This statement is patently false. It has been proven untrue by the testimony of many military officers and airmen and documentation of incidents involving UFOs and nuclear weapons, testimonies of which the US Air Force was fully aware. Unidentified details many of these testimonies, some for the first time.
As partial justification for its position, the Air Force cites a University of Colorado study that was contracted and paid for by federal funds. Unidentified reveals how this study was actually just another part of the plan to cover up the reality of the UFO phenomenon. For the first time, Unidentified publishes evidence that the investigators for the Colorado study knew about the UFO-related missile shutdown incidents but did not investigate them or include them in their final report.
Robert Salas, a retired United States Air Force Officer, witnessed first-hand a UAP visiting and disabling nuclear missiles at that Malmstrom Air Force Base and shares his experience as well as the many incidents of the last 80 years of similar visits that have been covered-up.
A new expanded edition will be published November 2023 under the title UAPs and the Nuclear Puzzle.
“A sober yet heartfelt narrative which dares you to dismiss it without due consideration.” —Fortean Times
