The UFO incursions at the ICBM silos at Minot AFB in 1967-68 are truly eye opening. What is happening here?
Are they testing our abilities, or testing theirs. Is this a stress test of our handle on the nuclear trigger, or a confirmation they can take control should events on the ground get out of hand?
Is this a communication—something akin to a "cease and desist" order from above—or a show of technical force to impress their presence and capabilities (and offers) on certain governments unwilling to consent?

At Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota during the mid-1960s, unidentified aerial phenomena were reported at U.S. nuclear missile systems. In one significant event, missileers inside underground capsules observed that multiple Minuteman ICBMs were receiving unauthorized launch signals, triggering the “Launch in Progress” status. These incidents prompted immediate emergency actions by the crews, who had to engage the “Inhibit” command to halt what appeared to be spontaneous launch sequences.
According to retired Capt. David H. Schuur, a bright UFO was observed hovering and moving from missile silo to missile silo. He reported that when the UFO hovered over a particular silo, his launch control console showed that the corresponding missile was preparing to fire. Schuur was forced to manually inhibit each missile to prevent launch.
In a second reported incident at Minot Air Force Base between 1967 and 1968, missile launch control officers experienced a dramatic and unexplained event in which their control panels began signaling false missile launches. The launch console “lit up like a Christmas tree,” suggesting active launch sequences. At the same time, security personnel above ground reported seeing a UFO hovering overhead.
First Lieutenant Larry Manross, present during the event, later confirmed that the lights and signals subsided as suddenly as they appeared. The synchronization between the panel activity and the UFO presence strongly suggested a correlation.
