Today, six former U.S. Air Force officers have decided to break their silence and tell the world that the government knows about aliens, and that those aliens are monitoring our nuclear weapons.

The officers will be at the National Press Club to share their stories of close encounters and the government cover-ups that followed.

Take retired Air Force Captain Robert Salas, who was on duty at Malstrom Air Force Base in Montana in 1967, when suddenly all the nuclear missiles on the base malfunctioned.  He says he believes a UFO was overhead at the time. 

He is not alone.

Salas says that he has witness testimony from at least 120 military personnel who have either seen a UFO or an extraterrestrial event, almost always at military bases that had nuclear weapons.

Salas says, "There's a strong interest [in our missiles] by these [UFOs], wherever they come from.  I personally think they're not from planet Earth.  The U.S. Air Force is lying about the [UFOs] and we can prove it."

Besides sharing their stories and testimony, Salas and other former officers will distribute some declassified government documents that they say will prove that the government knows about UFOs and alien activity.
