Robert Salas is a graduate of the USAF Academy and holds a Masters Degree in Aerospace Engineering. In March 1967 he was working night shift as DMCCC (Missile Launch Officer in charge) at Malmstrom AFB in Montana with responsibility for a battery of nuclear-armed Minuteman Missiles. Deep underground in the "capsule", he received repeated alarm reports from base guard personnel at ground level of a large, red-glowing disk-shaped craft hovering over the base. A disturbing series of events then began to unfold. The UFO hovered over each silo and, one at a time, the triple-redundant systems controlling each missile were systematically shut down until the entire battery was off-line. The UFO then departed, and it took technical crews most of the following day to get the missiles back online which had to be done, manually, one at a time since the systems had been damaged by the UFO's action.
This blatantly intentional action of shutting down nuclear missiles by the intelligences guiding UFOs is far from unique to the Malmstron case - for a comprehensive and absolutely first-class overview of the long history of such cases, read Robert Hastings' book "UFOs and Nukes." In the Malmstron case, as in others, the USAF ensured the witnesses were effectively silenced and there was a news media blackout. Only in 2005, now retired, did Salas finally speak out in public and write this excellent, if short, book with James Klotz.
In "Faded Giant" Salas and Klotz tell the full story of the 1967 Malmstrom Incident, and put the event in context with accounts of similar UFO/military interactions, some involving nuclear missiles (the "Big Sur" incident for example). Chapter four is an intelligent discourse on the pros and cons of government "Disclosure" of the ET issue, presenting arguments for both sides: to disclose, or to keep secret. The issue of "National Security" as justification for continued secrecy is examined impartially and in thoughtful detail.
Almost two thirds of "Faded Giant" consists of detailed appendices covering the design and layout of missile bases and the control capsule, diagrams and photographs, and many pages of declassified documents in support of the main narrative.
Robert Salas is, perhaps partly as a result of having witnessed at first hand the serious interest ETs take in our nuclear missiles, in favour of complete nuclear disarmament. I was honoured to meet with Robert and his wife in 2008 and found him to be a highly intelligent deep-thinker, a man of obvious integrity and principle with a disarming warmth and humility. He is great company, and after a long successful career in the aerospace industry has studied the whole UFO subject in some depth and is now widely read on the general subject.
Salas has appeared many times on TV discussions about the UFO/nukes relationship and has been a guest on CNN's Larry King show. Together with Robert Hastings, he is planning a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington DC in September 2010 to bring the issue to more widespread public attention.
This book is short but definitely worth reading. Its factual and non-speculative tone makes the explosive content difficult to deal with by the debunker so, as usual, they will probably ignore or evade it. Four star rating, missing out on five stars due only to the book's unusual brevity and definitely not its content, which is first class.

Does the public have a right to be informed about the possible existence of UFOs and the suspicious events that coincide with their supposed presence?How would access to such knowledge affect our society?What responsibility does the government have in learning about UFOs in an effort to protect society?These are the types of questions that authors Robert Salas and James Klotz attempt to answer in Faded Giant.They explore this incidence of unidentified aerial phenomena and its proximity to the Malmstrom Air Force Base (AFB), which is near Great Falls, Montana, and the unexplainable shutdown of nearly twenty nuclear missiles that occurred.Their mission is to provide the public with accurate information surrounding the events that took place at Malmstrom Air Force Base (AFB), which have been concealed by the government for over 37 years!
