Wurtsmith AFB Weapons Storage Area Incursion

“Hastings summarizes declassified Air Force material stating that after the unidentified craft left the Wurtsmith Weapons Storage Area, a KC-135 crew was directed to investigate two objects; one was intermittently tracked on the tanker’s radar and reportedly accelerated away at very high speed.”

“A KC-135 was diverted to investigate; Capt. Myron Taylor’s formal statement described two flashing-light objects, intermittent airborne radar tracking of one and an estimated departure speed near 1,000 knots over the Lake Huron/Saginaw Bay area.”

“Declassified Air Force documents summarized by Hastings describe security guards first reporting an unidentified helicopter-like craft near the base perimeter and then at least three guards reporting an unlit craft hovering at low altitude over the Wurtsmith WSA.”

“Hastings treats the later tracked objects as functionally identical to the WSA intruder, but the source sequence does not independently establish that the object over the WSA and the later KC-135 radar target were the same craft.”

“Faded Giant summarizes Wurtsmith AFB reports on November 1, 1975 of red or irregularly flashing aerial lights over restricted airspace, with objects reportedly observed and detected by radar near the weapons storage area.”

“Across the book Hastings argues for a recurring UFO-nuclear-weapons connection, but he distinguishes this interpretation from proof of motive. In the closing discussion he characterizes a possible anti-nuclear message as speculation and acknowledges that the reports do not establish comprehensive intervention.”
