Hastings and UFOs at nuclear facilities

Copyright 2018, InterAmerica, Inc.

Robert Hastings has provided ample reporting that shows UFOs have reconnoitered America’s nuclear facilities.

There is little doubt that some odd craft-like “things” have visited nuclear sites housing military nuclear armaments and nuclear related technology.

But what “objects” would do that and why?

In the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still, extraterrestrial Klaatu offered that his visitation was to warn Earthlings that their hostile instincts would not be allowed to be spread beyond this planet:
Klaatu: I am leaving soon, and you will forgive me if I speak bluntly. The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere, can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all, or no one is secure. Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom, except the freedom to act irresponsibly. Your ancestors knew this when they made laws to govern themselves and hired policemen to enforce them. We, of the other planets, have long accepted this principle. We have an organization for the mutual protection of all planets and for the complete elimination of aggression. The test of any such higher authority is, of course, the police force that supports it. For our policemen, we created a race of robots. Their function is to patrol the planets in spaceships like this one and preserve the peace. In matters of aggression, we have given them absolute power over us. This power cannot be revoked. At the first sign of violence, they act automatically against the aggressor. The penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk. The result is, we live in peace, without arms or armies, secure in the knowledge that we are free from aggression and war. Free to pursue more... profitable enterprises. Now, we do not pretend to have achieved perfection, but we do have a system, and it works. I came here to give you these facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet, but if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder. Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you.

The implication and meme that Sci-Fi fans and many ufologists took away from Klaatu’s “suggestion” has to do with nuclear warfare or weapons of a nuclear kind (atom bombs).

But as you can see, his concern was directed at human kind’s violent nature, not atom or hydrogen bombs.

Yet, many UFO buffs think – I’m not privy to Robert Hastings thinking on what UFOs may be or why they visit the nuclear sites he’s listed in his writings – that UFOs are piloted (manned) by ETs who are here to check out Earth’s nuclear capabilities, as if humanity’s atomic arsenal could be detrimental to their civilizations.

As readers here know, I do not see UFOs as visitors from galaxies far away or from outposts at the fringe of the universe.

Moreover, atomic tests would never be detected by civilizations light years away or even on a moon of Jupiter or Saturn.

An atomic bomb test or blast, while massive and startling here on our home planet, such an explosion would never register on a planet light years out or even on a planet as close as Mars or Venus.

So what are UFOs doing around nuclear silos or atomic missile housing?

I’ve suggested that UFOs may be, sometimes, non Neumann-like probes of an AI nature and these machines think that computer and technology flush at nuclear sites are AI “creations” like themselves and are trying to communicate with their AI “brethren.”

Farfetchery, yes?

If UFOs are from advanced civilizations, one would think they’d contain sentient, intelligent beings who were more concerned that Earthlings traversing the galaxy or Universe might bring destructive germs and viruses to their home planet(s) much as the Spanish brought small pox and other calamitous diseases to the great civilizations of the Americas, and which was the cause of the resultant destruction of H. G. Wells' Martians in his War of the Worlds.
No, UFOs are not hovering over nuclear missiles for fear of them being transported by space travelers to their home planets.

But why are they there?

Why are UFOs here at all?
