In 1996, retired Air Force personnel claimed that a weapons failure at a Montana nuclear missile complex in 1967 was connected to reports of a UFO sighting over Malmstrom Air Force Base. The claims became known in ufology and popular culture as the Malmstrom UFO incident. ^[1]^[2] Skeptics argue the UFO was likely the planet Mars and entirely unrelated to the malfunction.^[3] A military investigation found no connection to any UFO sighting.^[4]
