Podcast UFO - Bob Salas on WSJ Rebuttle

In this powerful one-on-one interview, former U.S. Air Force Captain Robert Salas fires back at the recent Wall Street Journal article suggesting that Cold War-era UFO encounters were disinformation efforts to protect classified military programs.

Salas, a key witness to the famous 1967 Malmstrom Air Force Base incident—where 10 nuclear missiles mysteriously went offline during a UFO encounter—calls the article’s claim of an “EMP test” factually wrong and deliberately misleading.

💬 “We saw an orange-red glowing object hovering over the gate. Minutes later, every missile shut down. That’s no accident. And it’s not a test.”

We discuss:

Why Salas believes this is another attempt at official cover-up

Why the EMP test theory doesn’t match the actual recovery timeline

What this means for UAP disclosure and the credibility of the U.S. government

The broader implications of disinformation in the UFO narrative
