What kind of country used nuclear weapons against peaceful cities twice?
No-one has, the USA was at war with Japan at the time - not a 'peaceful city'.
And it was a very, very painful lesson mankind had to learn, no sane person wants to see it happen again.
Which was why I quite clearly stated "that Russia is the only country since WWII to openly state it would carry out first strike nuclear attacks against another country."

Thank you for recognizing US responsibility for 2 nuclear bombings of peaceful cities with civilians. Moreover, Nagasaki was the center of Christian culture in Japan.
The USA constantly threatens the entire world with destruction. However, the court judges not for threats, but for real actions.
The US did it, but Russia did not. Live with it.
I am so disappointed in ATS right now. Here we are on page 4 and still nobody here has explained what happened, and you even say we don't know much else when we have elaborate detail that goes way beyond Jacob's story.

The story about this incident was brought to light during the first Press Club UFO briefing done by Dr. Steven Greer.
The original military photographers that were contracted to film the launch were supposedly sworn to secrecy about the event. We really do not know much else.
I was the project engineer for the telescope experiment, and Lieutenant Bob Jacobs was one of the key field team members who, it later developed, was technically not authorized to view the pictures we were collecting. Bob was named the on-site commander by the 1369th Photo Squadron and managed the logistics of the operation at the Big Sur location. Years later, for reasons I can't fathom, Bob claims we witnessed an intelligent UFO in action around an Atlas warhead, followed by an Air Force cover-up. He provides details of his weird claims in an article for the MUFON UFO Journal (Jacobs 1989). What we saw WAS indeed unique and startling, but it definitely does NOT require invoking UFOs with purposeful goals and advanced weapons.
UPDATE: Joel Carpenter did a lot of research on this case before he passed away. His work revealed that Kingston George's version of events is probably the most accurate and that Robert Jacobs' version is jumbled memories that do not reflect what actually happened.
As has long been conjectured here on ATS, the ETs are here in force because we split the atom. I seriously believe that any nation that launches on another will find its missiles deactivated and destroyed...if not worse consequences.

You're putting words in my mouth, I didn't talk about generalities like you did.
I talked about the specific case this thread is about,

We also have learned over the decades that UFOs have also disabled our "Minute Man" missiles in their silos.
