Nuke Launch Control Officer Robert Salas has released an audio recording of his AARO interview. Salas even challenged Kirkpatrick on Twitter to find a flaw with any of his claims. Relevant timestamp [https://www.youtube.com/live/cslFxhU7URM?feature=share&t=2962] *** Robert Salas on X (Twitter) [https://twitter.com/keptycho/status/1685134178457915392?t=VfxvJhfHHsCATtWbfh4D1Q&s=19] >Regarding Dr. Kirkpatrick’s public letter of July 28, 2023: Section 1683 of the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) established a requirement for an office, within DOD, to carry out the duties of the UAPTF. That office is now AARO. >One of those specified tasks required reporting on “… number of reported incidents, and descriptions thereof, of unidentified aerial phenomena associated with military nuclear assets, including strategic nuclear weapons…” >My testimony to AARO on February 15, 2023, now an official record, spoke specifically of two separate incidents at Malmstrom AFB in March 1967 involving the disabling of strategic nuclear missiles. On May 9, 2023, AARO received the testimony of principal witness, David Schindele. >His testimony is about the September 1966 Minot UFO incident that resulted in the disabling of ten strategic missiles. These three incidents, occurring within the span of six months, resulted in the disabling of thirty nuclear weapons during UFO encounters. >They are now official historical records and can no longer be denied, or ignored, by AARO or any other government agency giving serious deliberations to the subject of the UAP incidents at nuclear weapons facilities. >When I specifically asked them if they would be checking details of my presentation with the Air Force, the reply was “not directly.” They indicated that they were having trouble obtaining information from them on past events. >Many of their inquiries to the Air Force had a standard evasive response of: “Everything the AF has to say is a matter of record.” AARO indicated they would leave it up to the Congress to sort out the validity of any official report such as my presentation. >In his recent letter, Dr. Kirkpatrick stated, “The Subcommittee…has never asked AARO for an update on the …historical review…” Therefore, these testimonies have not been turned over to Congress to resolve. If they were, why was I not invited to the recent hearing to testify? >Why weren’t representatives of the U.S. Air Force invited to testify and respond to the Malmstrom incidents? He also stated, “AARO has the authorities and resources necessary to execute the mission to meet Congressional intent…” >So far, it appears this statement is not correct with respect to AARO’s mission responsibilities as stipulated above. If Dr. Kirkpatrick would like to challenge any of the above, I invite him to do so. I have recorded the entirety of my testimony and the AARO response. >If the House accepts the recommendation of Rep. Burchett to establish a Select Committee with subpoena power, maybe we can make some real progress on this important topic of UFO incidents at nuclear weapons facilities.
