A US Air Force captain has recalled a terrifying moment in which his nuclear base came "under attack from a UFO".
He described how guards were left "frightened", "screaming" and "babbling" by the bizarre sighting, which has been covered up for more than 50 years.
Robert Salas, a retired US Air Force Captain, was heading up a Malmstrom base in Montana back in 1967.
He and his colleagues saw eight orange-coloured lights over the base, which was holding 10 nuclear missiles.
Mr Salas described how guards dashed for safety as an "oval-shaped craft" disarmed the nukes.
In National Geographic's new series UFOs: Investigating The Unknown, to be released this week, Mr Salas told the show: "I kind of dismissed it. I even said: 'You mean like UFOs?' About five minutes later he calls back he is screaming.
"When I hung up the phone I thought we were under attack. We could see the lights going from green to red all across the board meaning the missiles were inoperable."
Despite the fact that a large part of the US' nuclear capability was wiped out during the incident, it was never investigated by authorities.
The staff present at the time also had to sign documents swearing them to secrecy.
Three years after the incident, the US Air Force stopped its UFO investigation saying no reported sighting had ever posed a threat.
