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 fo
