'I can tell you that all the major nuclear missile bases, from the ones operational in the 60s and the 70s, and the ones that are currently operational have been visited repeatedly,' says the expert

A UFO expert has claimed that aliens have visited “every major nuclear missile base” – and do it several times a year. Those are the words of Robert Hastings, who has spent years interviewing former and current United States army personnel about UFO sightings and encounters.

And speaking to News Now, in a clip going viral on social media, he said: “I can tell you that all the major nuclear missile bases, from the ones operational in the 60s and the 70s, and the ones that are currently operational, have been visited repeatedly year after year according to the sources that I have interviewed.”

No further context or explanation – or evidence – was provided in the clip or further interviews, but the comments come a few months after he made similar claims in a book, where he mused about the possible motives of non-human entities.

He said: “A public, grass roots effort must be made in the interim to understand – as best as possible, using the data gathered thus far – the nature and intentions of those who pilot the UFOs. Or perhaps they have a use for our planet, let's say for scientific purposes, and know that global nuclear warfare will disrupt their data-gathering and/or experiments.”

The comments come in a week where bombshell alien-related claims appear to be ramping up after an ex-United States army chief claimed that "non-human intelligence exists" and has been "interacting with humanity".

Colonel Karl E. Nell is a former Army Director supporting the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), and claims to have first-hand knowledge of the impact of alien life forms on humanity.
