Nuclear weapons at a top secret US air force base were “disabled” by aliens, according to a former officer.

Robert Salas claimed that around 10 nuclear weapons were disabled in 1967.

He was on duty as commander at a secret underground launch facility at the Malmstrom Air Force base in Montana.

Speaking after the secretive hearing held by the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) task force this week, he told the Sun: “Nuclear missiles were shut down by UFOs over the span of eight days and this is well documented and there are testimonies by witnesses.

“The primary witnesses, myself included, are still alive and able to give testimony about this incident.

“Without a doubt, I would testify to the inquiry, under oath, and I would bring documentation in the form of audio recordings, letters etc.

“After the incidents took place, we were told not to speak about them, in other words, there was a cover-up.

“We were never debriefed about the causation or the attempt to find the causation by the investigative teams and this was kept secret.”

“There’s excessive secrecy surrounding the whole thing.

“There’s a cover-up ongoing and there must be an organised group within intelligence agencies that are holding these secrets.”

During the first day of the The Pentagon's alien hearings this week, it was revealed that there were 400 reported cases of UFO sightings at a recent conference, which is the the first UFO conference the department has held in 50 years.

Senior defence officials were on hand to talk through the updated sightings list, as well as pledging their commitment in trying to understand "unidentified aerial phenomena".

Two officials, Ronald Moultrie and Scott Bray, appeared before a House of Representatives subcommittee for the first hearing on the subject in half a century.

The hearing comes just under a year after a government document reported more than 140 cases of unidentified aerial phenomena since 2004, a number which has since rocketed up to 400.

While research from Scott Bray said no evidence of aliens had been found, the deputy director of Naval intelligence said that while the incidents cannot be explained, there is nothing of alien origin.

Bray added that none of the documented objects had tried to communicate with US aviators, who had been recording UFO sightings since 2004, nor had they been able to communicate with the unidentified flying objects.
