At the various silos around Malstrom AFB. These were the same silos housing nuclear tipped warheads which were disabled while UFO's were seen.

A connection perhaps. Perhaps not.

Spyderman, is that you?

It is.

Missiles used some nasty chemicals in the past, like hydrazine, so a disease link is not a surprise.

Heard this on the radio the other evening. Sounded like an investigation was under way.

Yes an investigation is underway but it has absolutely nothing to do with UFOs.

I don't know.

if that were the case, would there be a connection to the other bases that have missiles too? Like Minot?

Heck, we have the most missiles in the DoD!

I bet that is being looked into as well.

From everything I've seen so far it's all tied to malmstrom. Don't know if it's an environmental thing tied to malmstrom or if they're just the canary in the coal mine for a more broad issue in the capsules.

Everything I've read about the cancer study pertains to the Missileers in the capsules, who, for the vast majority, wouldn't be coming into contact with any missile components.

Plus, the ET vehicle incidents at Malstrom occurred back in the mid '70's. I imagine anybody exposed to anything related to that would have retired etc. by now.

Regardless, it's an interesting story to follow.

Do the capsule guys ever physically go into the area with the missiles? Are the complexes sealed well enough that nothing can seep into the control room from the missiles?

I don't know, just trying to guess the connection.

LFs are separated from the LCCs, typically a few miles apart. Unless the crew folks are doing something out of the ordinary with the maintenance folks they won't be anywhere near the missiles themselves.

Thanks

Sure thing

Now, if there is a spike in cancer among the key turners, I'd sure as heck be concentrating on the environment inside their control rooms and bunkers. Was there radiation from the equipment, toxic chemicals used to manufacture the furniture, etc. etc.??

They were in sealed rooms for long periods of time, so things that would not be a problem in a normal office would be different in that closed system.

I wouldn't be chasing UFOs as a cause.

Yes, they are looking into all 3 Missile Wings and all people that served at those Wings - not just the 13N AFSC folks, but anyone who could've been affected.

From the briefing I attended, there was NO mention of UFOs, aliens, ETs, or any investigations into "encounters of the 3rd kind".

In the cases that occurred back in the '60's, the vehicles appeared at the silos and somehow deactivated the icbms. No chasing involved then. There are however numerous accounts of radiation burns etc. associated with close contact with these vehicles. Cancer....dunno. Perhaps.

Yea there's all sorts of nasty stuff down stairs in the capsule, PCBs, asbestos, 60 year old air, etc but as of now the spike in cases seems to be limited to Malmstrom. That's what leads me to think it might be something related to their missile field that isn't affecting the other two wings. Or perhaps they're just the canary in the coal mine and we see cases at the other two wings start popping up as well.

Evidently, both the US and Brazilian militaries were involved in this event:

Not to mention radiation in the soil surrounding the capsule.
