On 19 September 2012 the sheriff's log of Fergus County, Montana — inside the missile field of Malmstrom Air Force Base — recorded a call reporting two low-flying V-shaped objects with orange lights. Researcher Robert Hastings publicised the entry and related sightings in November 2012.[1]
The report
According to the log, at 10:19 p.m. Central Montana Dispatch took a call from a woman reporting "2 V-shaped objects with orange lights flying very low northwest of Roy". Dispatch called Malmstrom, which said it had no aircraft near Roy that night. The caller later told Hastings the sighting was at about 9:45 p.m. while she was driving north about 13 miles east of Roy, that the objects were north-west of her rather than over the town, and that the two silent craft moved from north-west to south-east and were not flares.[1]
The missile field
Roy lies about a mile from the Oscar-01 Missile Alert Facility, which controls ten Minuteman III missiles, and the sighting was reportedly a few miles from one of Oscar Flight's launch sites. Hastings also described sightings on 21 September 2012 near the Delta, Echo and Oscar Flight areas, and reports of increased security and maintenance activity, and concluded that genuine UFO activity had occurred in the county between 19 and 21 September. He acknowledged that whether any missiles were affected was unknown.[1][2]
Malmstrom history
Hastings and others link such reports to the March 1967 incidents at Malmstrom, when former missile officer Robert Salas says ten missiles went offline at Oscar Flight while a glowing object hovered outside, and to the documented Echo Flight shutdown that month. The 2012 reports were not officially investigated, and the blotter entry itself is brief.[1][3]
