Radar tracked UFO over missile silos-disc shaped with flashing lights
ADC radar tracked an unidentified target descending over the Minuteman ICBM missile silos of the 91st Strategic Missile Wing. Base security teams saw a metallic, disc-shaped object ringed with bright flashing lights moving slowly, maneuvering, then stopping and hovering about 500 feet above ground. Object circled directly over the launch control facility. F-106 fighters were scrambled but at that moment object climbed straight up and disappeared at high speed. An object was tracked by radar and sighted visually. It departed by rapidly flying straight up until lost to sight. Electromagnetic effects were noted.One metallic saucer was observed by military witnesses near a missile for a few seconds.
