The Loring Siege - UFOs At The Nuclear Frontline

During the Cold War the U.S. Strategic Air Command (SAC) kept nuclear forces on hair-trigger alert, protected by cutting-edge radars and layered security. In the mid-1970s an alarming pattern emerged: highly maneuverable, silent aerial craft began penetrating restricted airspace around SAC bases, appearing on occasion to disable electronics, vanish from radar, and behave in ways no known aircraft could. Alongside these incursions came a spike in reported “missing time,” strange dreams, physical marks, and alleged abductions—often concentrated near military installations.One decisive episode unfolded at Loring Air Force Base, Maine, October 27–29, 1975. Personnel first observed a silent, helicopter-like object hovering near weapons storage, but its motion, absence of rotors/noise, and unusual radar signature made it nothing like a helicopter. The object repeatedly taunted defenses—appearing, hovering precisely, surging at impossible speeds and angles, causing radios and lights to fail, and then vanishing. A follow-up night interception by a Maine National Guard UH-1 Huey with searchlight and M-60 firepower produced shocking results: tracer rounds appeared to vanish on impact and inflicted no observable damage. Ground witnesses described a throbbing, oppressive sensation from the craft’s lights; nearby civilians reported sudden engine failures, missing time, metallic tastes, and ringing ears.The encounters continued across multiple nights, provoking urgent, often secretive military coordination (including contact with Canadian authorities). Official explanations offered publicly were limited—at best citing navigational errors or stray helicopters—while the events left crews unnerved and convinced something unknown had breached the most secure U.S. sites during a period when a single mistake could have catastrophic consequences.Check out Zocdoc: https://zocdoc.com/HOLO1Check out Mood and use my code HOLO for a great deal: https://mood.comCheck out HelloFresh: https://hellofresh.com/HOLO1POD10FMFacebook and Twitter @holoskypodcastInstagram @ theholoskypodcast If you have an experience of your own you'd like to share with us please do.
