I'm not going to invest 49 minutes of my life in watching a UFO video from a guy named Buck Rogers.
Just show me the proof and skip all the fluff.

The phrase "Win one for the Gipper" was later used as a political slogan by Ronald Reagan, who in 1940 portrayed Gipp in Knute Rockne, All American and was often referred to as "The Gipper". His most famous use of the phrase was at the Republican National Convention in 1988 in New Orleans, when he told Vice President Bush, "George, go out there and win one for the Gipper."[17] The term was also used by President George W. Bush at the 2004 convention in New York City, when he honored the recently deceased President Reagan by stating, "this time we can truly win one for the Gipper."

It's a good documentary and worth seeing, but nothing that I didn't know already, but still I never get tired of revisiting any, or all information I have heard before. Even in the '60's my family and insider friends knew about these incidents taking place on military bases and SAC bases.
Misinformation and counter intelligence efforts were being pushed a lot harder back then than they are today, because back then, teachers and academic types weren't as fearful of resisting the ridicule, and would ask questions anyway, until later when (lost) jobs and other repercussions began taking place to curb the "too" curious ones.
Some of the early UFO documentaries (60's and 70's) ones were shown in theaters (but during project Blue Book) just like regular movies were, and when the good sightings with real motion picture footage were shown, and some Air Force official would say this one, or that one, was "ball lightning" or a "temperature inversion" causing the illusion of "flying saucers" The audiences would ROAR with laughter. Back then people knew when they were being lied to seemingly much more than they do, or care about today.

I like the video, a great documentary with more confirmation from reliable people.
But what truly amazes me are the negative comments here. Gold coins walking into your front door wouldn't put a smile on your face, I guess.
Despite claims that the airmen were "breaking their silence," there was very little new information presented at the press conference; in fact many of the UFO reports they cited date back 30 or 40 years, and had appeared in magazine articles, books, and websites. Instead of any new evidence or real proof they offered merely a rehashing of old, discredited reports that didn't yield any significant evidence when they were originally reported decades ago.
Now why would Halt say his boss would verify his beam claims when his boss does exactly the opposite. I would note that Halt is selling books on the topic and no beams means low book sales, so as usual, follow the money.
Note: Thanks to UFOlogist Robert Hastings, at this stage it is worth quoting from a transcript of an interview with Col Halt taken from the US TV programme Unsolved Mysteries, shown on 18 September 1991, more than a decade after the events. On the programme Halt says: “We could very clearly see [the UFO]…I noticed other beams of light coming down from the same object, falling on different places on the base. My boss [Col Ted Conrad] was standing in his front yard in Woodbridge and he could see the beams of light falling down...
Contrast Halt’s recollections in 1991 with Conrad’s 2010 statement which continues:
“Lt Col Halt’s report of more lights both on the ground and in the sky brought quite a few people out of their houses at Woodbridge to see what was there. These people included myself, my wife, Lt Col Sawyer (the Director of Personnel), his wife, and several others listening to my radio and looking for the lights Halt was describing. Despite a sparkling, clear, cloudless, fogless night with a good field of view in all directions, we saw nothing that resembled Lt Col Halt’s descriptions either in the sky or on the ground.

Enjoyable reply, thanks. And you're right about "Back then ..." This forum is a good example of that opinion. Too many unquestioning believers without a skeptical bone in their body. Especially the "ball lightning" explanation which was always shown as happening only in sophisticated laboratory equipment and nothing that was ever produced could pass muster. I can understand some witnesses making a visual mistake with some lenticular cloud such as this one:
and I'm sure they've been reported as UFOs. But they don't move, unless the witness was traveling in a vehicle and didn't see the cloud dissipate. That's why my UFO sightings pass muster, they were solid sightings. BTW, I was in SAC for 4 quiet years!

It's a film by Robert Hastings, who has made a career about UFOs and Nukes but has never produced even one single witness who saw the UFOs he talks about at Malmstrom. When other people asked the secondary witness, the man who said "someone else told me they saw a UFO" they go on to say "but I thought it was a joke" and Hastings leaves that last part out of his story. It's been discredited but Hastings continues to thrive on the gullible who will never bother to do research and investigate to learn the truth for themselves, they just want to pay Hastings to tell them a good "story" and that's what they are getting, a "story" with no real verification. I mean in most UFO cases we at least have a witness to the UFO but in this case we don't have any for his Malmstrom claims.
There is an article about Hastings claims here:

There's the Rendlesham "UFOs" which according to Ian Ridpath consisted of a meteor, followed by sightings of a lighthouse' followed by sightings of "starlike-objects" that were stars. Regarding the latter, I suspect Halt was probably seeing artifacts on a star scope, and his primary verification witness (his boss) directly contradicts his claim about beams coming near the weapons storage area:

This is really much ado about absolutely nothing as far as I can tell, but hey it's a living off the gullible for Hastings.
