2010 in UFO history — the UAP Timeline records 5 events in 2010, mostly about nuclear & missile sites and military encounters. People named in these events include Robert Hastings, John Baughman, Robert Salas, Charles Halt, Linda Moulton Howe.
Overview
2010 was marked by claims about UFOs and nuclear weapons. On 27 September former Air Force personnel held a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington alleging that UFOs had interfered with nuclear missiles at U.S. bases.[1] The timeline lists affidavits from former captain Robert Salas, missile officer Robert Jamison, Colonel Charles Halt of Rendlesham fame and others.[2] See also Robert Hastings and UFOs and Nukes. On 23–24 October Air Force personnel at F. E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming, reportedly saw a large cigar-shaped object over the missile field. Later that day the base lost communication with 50 Minuteman III missiles across five launch control facilities. The timeline cites The Atlantic's report of the failure and says the squadron commander warned members not to talk to journalists.[2]
The Defense Intelligence Agency's AAWSAP program, carried out by BAASS, continued its investigations. In January BAASS investigations director Larry Grossman met former Air Force Office of Special Investigations colonel Barry Hennessey. Hennessey said his office could not identify many UFO overflights of nuclear bases during the 1975 wave, and he believed many records had been destroyed.[3] He suggested that some objects that interfered with launch controls might have been secret U.S. aircraft.[3]
In January 2010 Navy Petty Officer John Baughman, on the flight deck of USS Carl Vinson near Haiti, said he saw a white, Tic Tac-shaped object about 20 feet long just below the surface before it "darted" into the depths. He said he was not debriefed.[2] On 15 December two alleged Hill Air Force Base employees in Utah reported a glowing disc over the flight line.[2]
