UFOs and Nuclear Weapons - A Fascinating Connection
Gerb's first nuclear video. He retells Big Sur 1964 (Jacobs, with Mansmann's written confirmation) and Malmstrom 1967 (Salas and three co-affiants), cites the 1975 NORAD logs, and adds Indian Point 1984 and an NRC triangle file. He ends with his 'great filter' idea: the atom draws attention, and Roswell follows the first tests.

Witness testimony (11)
Lt Robert Jacobs commanded a 100-man unit filming every ballistic missile launch from the Western Test Range, with telescopes able to resolve the 'nuts and bolts' of a missile.Named officer.firsthandBig Sur: a beam at an Atlas warheadRobert Jacobs
On 14 September 1964 his film of a dummy-warhead launch showed a saucer with a dome fly in, fire four beams of light at the warhead and leave, and the warhead fell out of frame.Named officer.firsthandBig Sur: a beam at an Atlas warhead
Maj. Florenz Mansmann screened the film for him with three men in grey suits, told him it never happened, and told him to call it 'laser tracking strikes' if ever asked.Lasers were in their infancy in 1964.firsthandBig Sur: a beam at an Atlas warhead
Mansmann wrote, in a signed letter to Paramount staff: 'I am writing to confirm Dr Jacobs's account as he described it in the January 1989 MUFON Journal.'Two named officers.firsthandMaj. Florenz Mansmann (letter)Big Sur: a beam at an Atlas warhead
Jacobs kept quiet for 18 years, went public in 1982 because he had signed no non-disclosure agreement, and was then harassed with calls through the night.Named officer.firsthandRobert Jacobs

On 24 March 1967 a guard reported a pulsating red oval 30 to 40 ft across over the front gate, and all ten Minuteman missiles in Salas's flight showed a fault, most with guidance and control failures.Named launch officer.firsthandMissiles shut down at Malmstrom
Squadron commander Col. George Eldridge said it was no exercise and could not be explained, and an AFOSI officer told the crews the event was classified secret.Named launch officer.firsthandMissiles shut down at Malmstrom

Harnessing fission and fusion is one of the 'great filter' gates a civilisation passes, and it draws attention: Roswell came soon after the first atomic tests.Gerb's idea. He dates the first tests to 1942-44; Trinity was July 1945.speculationRoswell: the Army's 'flying disc'
The NRC, which came out of the Atomic Energy Commission with DOE's predecessors in 1974-75, may share in the cover-up.Gerb's question.speculationAtomic Energy Act of 1954
