UFO Sightings at Nuclear Bases (Full Episode) | UFOs: Investigating the Unknown

Mysterious flying objects. Claims of crashed alien spacecrafts. The U.S. has spent decades inquiring into the unknown—here's what they've learned: on.natgeo.com/3rUkW24

As a human being on Earth 65 years so far, I'm sure tired of being lied to by other human beings.

Was stationed at Grand Forks AFB, 1996-1998. Worked in a highly sensitive area and very unable to go reporting "UFO's". One morning while driving back to base from Northwood, ND. Driving on Highway 15 to 31st Street. Something came up from behind me. It was a moonless night but I could see the stars in my rearview mirror become obscured by something. I stopped, expecting some Close Encounters of the 3rd kind stuff. Looking out my driver's side window and up. Something at least 50' tall, maybe 200' across the back, shaped like a triangle. Flew over me, maybe 200' off the ground. Never made a noise. No engines. No air disturbance. Just my truck engine. Along the back were three exhausts, which had a faint red crackling appearance through a heavy blackening to reduce visibility. Like when you see lava with that blackened top and hints of red lava just barely being seen underneath? It moved steadily, quietly and was gone within 30 seconds. No super speed, just a constant speed that should have made noise. Believe my story or not, worries me none. I know I saw something very unexplainable and these current revelations only support my belief of what I saw.

I was stationed at an Air Force nuclear missile base in the early 70's. Our crew lived in these missile bases for 2-3 days a week on a rotating schedule. One night we had a report of one of the missile cops went missing in the field. I was at one launch control facility and off duty. My security police partner and I were ordered to go out and look for him. He was missing for about 2 hours. When he was finally found I was ordered back to my post. When I asked what happened? I was told none of your business and do not ask again. The airman in question was relieved of duty and within 2 weeks he disappeared from the base, re-assigned or discharged. The occurred 50 years ago. After this incident a bunch of us began seeing strange lights in the missile field on several occasions.

I respect NatGeo for making this available. It's time to stop the oogie woogie & the belittling of everyday people who have seen or experienced UAP.

These are known stories for some, but the fact that a channel like National Geographic is publishing this one day after the hearing is quite interesting :D

At 18 I joined the A.F. in 1973. I never heard anything about UFOs, but I can tell you that the military has a ton of secrets they are protecting and they do a very good job doing it. The whistleblowers are the ones we must depend on for new data.

'You can't convince a person who has had a UFO experience that he hasn't had it". Words that are so true.

Thank you! Mr. Hynek deserves respect and admiration for our history.

i have know all these stories for years because of my grandfather, it's so wild to see people just learning about all this and really opening their paradigm. i'm ready for the truth, are you ?

Thank you for encouraging people who believe that we can do better through curiosity and exploration of our world.

Great video! I saw a UFO in 1975. It was disk shaped and made no sound. It made right angle turns. When it left it shot off and stopped over an adjacent island five miles away. It took less than two seconds to move five miles.

Saw one myself in 1979, it vanished in the blink of an eye

This is such vindication for us who have spend a lifetime of study of this subject, to find out the conclusions we came to as children were indeed correct. We are not alone in the universe.

I'm 48...13 years ago I witnessed about 50 low flying silent objects flying from east to west past the Napier airport in New Zealand...I can't have been the only person to see this

This is really a documentary about Dr. Hynek more than "UFO sightings at nuclear bases."

A great and important coverage of many of the more legitimate aspects of this subject. Good to see NatGeo taking it seriously.

Oh my gosh this is so sad😢 Those poor guards. The trauma this has caused for everyone involved. You can see on their faces

The quality of this doco is very good.

National Geographic trying to capitalize on the UFO hype and I love it
