The FBI Asked A Nuclear UFO Expert For Help... And It Feels Different

I heard about this mutilation, and I mentioned to the woman, I said, you know, that night that you said that you found the cow, I saw this strange light. She got really excited and said, we saw it too. It was very close to it. Robert Hastings has spent more than 50 years documenting objects over American nuclear weapon sites, and in a new interview with Psychoactivo, he described an active case near his own home, the death of one of his key witnesses, and a source who claims the FBI is now briefing the White House on what it finds. And that would put nuclear site UFO reports in front of the president's staff through a law enforcement agency probably for the first time. Hey, you Follagers, I'm Christina Gomez. And this is your UFO News Update. Hastings lives at the northern end of the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado, an area with a long record of cattle mutilations. In early August, a ranching couple about 15 miles south of him found a mutilated cow, and a neighbor found a second one shortly after. Hastings had seen something that same night when looking out his bedroom window. And I saw a light zigzagging through the sky and then blinking out. And I knew it wasn't an aircraft. I don't think it was a drone. It wasn't a satellite. It was very weird. So two days later, I think it was, I heard about this mutilation. And I mentioned to the woman, I said, you know, that night that you said that you found the cow, I saw this strange light. She got really excited and said, we saw it too. It was very close. When he mentioned the lights to the ranchers, they told him they had seen it too, much closer to their property. About two weeks ago, the same couple began reporting large objects in the sky that smaller objects would join and then later leave, each one flying off in a different direction. They have tried to film them, but the objects stay too far away to capture clearly. Hastings is following this case while mourning one of his most important witnesses he ever worked with. Mario Woods passed away on October 26th. And Hastings was one of the first people to share the news. Woods was the face of one of the strongest missile site cases in Hastings' files. In 1977, he was an Air Force security policeman at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota, guarding the nuclear missiles spread across the surrounding countryside. One night, he and his partner Michael Johnson were sent to check intruder alarms at a missile site. Woods later recalled a huge object hovering overhead and small figures approaching their truck. The next thing he remembered was a radio call asking where they were. About five hours had passed, and the truck was sitting near a reserve nine miles from the site. Woods carried that night quietly for about 40 years before he reached out to Hastings in 2017. Hastings first confirmed through his military discharge records known as the DD214 that Woods really served at that base in that role. Then he arranged a hypnosis session in Florida that October. If one looks at the In the video of that session, Mario is instantly terrified once he's under hypnosis. He's so afraid of reliving this experience that he's trying to crawl off the bed and hide. In August, podcaster Jesse Michaels reunited Woods with Johnson after nearly 50 years apart. Weeks later, Woods was diagnosed with leukemia and he passed away within two to three weeks after that. For decades, accounts like Woods were dismissed by the agencies that should have been asking about them. But that has started to change. The same kind of missile site testimony Woods gave is now drawing interest from the FBI, and Hastings himself has been questioned. The Bureau first reached him through Robert Salas, the former Maelstrom missile officer, who had already sat down with agents and gave them Hastings' name. The lead agent, who Hastings would only call Adam, had already read UFOs and nukes before they even spoke, which that was Robert Hastings' book. The FBI has authorized a small team of FBI agents scattered around the country in various offices, and that they've been given the task to catch up, is the way it was explained to me, and get the FBI up to speed in terms of learning what has actually gone on, because apparently there is now an official push for the FBI to be able to speak knowledgeably and to be able to investigate. You know, knowing basically the outlines of the history of the situation. Hastings didn't take the agents at their word alone, but he did agree to talk. Three people he trusts vouched for the effort. Jim Semivan spent about 25 years in the CIA's clandestine service. Luella Zondo, who led AATIP, the Pentagon's UFO program, and Chris Mellon, who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. Each of them told Hastings separately that they were working with the bureau and believed it was trying to understand what has actually happened and not shut the subject down. With that assurance, Hastings spent about two hours walking the agents through everything he had collected since the 1970s. Then Hastings shared one more detail. According to him, another highly credible source separate from those three men told him the FBI is briefing White House staff on what the team is learning. Hastings didn't name the source, and the FBI hasn't confirmed it. But the claim lands at a very telling moment. Because Jay Stratton has argued in recent interviews that presidents were kept in the dark about a legacy program involving the CIA, the Air Force, the Department of Energy, and private contractors. If the FBI is now carrying these findings to the White House directly, that would be a route around the agencies that Stratton describes. If the FBI is briefing the White House on UFO activity near nuclear weapons, should those findings go to Congress next, or should the Bureau finish its work first? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Hastings also revealed that therapist Yvonne Smith, who worked with Mario Woods, has offered to regress him about his own encounters, and is even considering it. He added that phone and email harassment against him picked up again just this week. A 2025 Wall Street Journal story claimed the Pentagon spread UFO myths for decades, and it explained the 1967 Maelstrom missile shutdown as a secret electromagnetic pulse test rather than an object. No one approached me prior to the story. Or Bob Salas. Bob Salas refuted this in writing a letter to the editor of the paper. So did Mark von Rennenkamp. So did I. And Mark did the lion's share of the work finding the fact that this EMP generator was not even in existence for several months after the incident. Rebuttals were sent and no correction followed. The government documents behind the Pulse explanation create a timing problem. They show the system wasn't proposed until 1971 and not tested until 1973, four to six years after the missile at Maelstrom went offline.

Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, when the Air Force lost contact with 50 Minutemen III nuclear missiles for about 45 minutes. A retired Air Force target specialist contacted maintenance crew on his behalf. These two missile maintenance technicians said that while they were out in the field, they witnessed a huge cigar-shaped object. Flying silently above the missile field, and they said it was just huge, a huge object. According to that source, more than one team reported the object to supervisors. The Air Force Review blamed a replacement circuit card that was one-eighth of an inch from being fully seated. Hastings kept his own experience as private for decades to protect his nuclear research, then went public in 2019 with Dr. Bob Jacobs in their book Confession. In early 1995, in a Pittsburgh hotel room, he woke up to what he describes as a telepathic message. And I was pretty sure these entities were nearby and were going to interact with me. And I gasped out loud, they're here. And no sooner had I said that, Pavel, my body literally levitated off the bed. I was airborne. I was heading toward the ceiling. And I was not dreaming. I was not hallucinating. I was in the air. Gravity did not exist for me for what seemed like five or six seconds. He woke hours later in daylight. A firefighter outside him told him that his hotel and the one next door had lost power overnight, while restaurants across the street on the same grid kept theirs. His last remembered encounter was on New Year's Eve of 2014, when he saw a gray being at the foot of his bed. Hastings dates the current era to the December 2017 New York Times story that exposed AATIP, The Advanced Aerospace threat identification program. He calls David Grush, Matthew Brown, and Dylan Borland American heroes, and he points to Jay Stratton now discussing nuclear-related UAP activity in public. After interviewing 169 Air Force veterans, he hopes to hear a president confirm non-human intelligence in his lifetime. Should the Colorado Sheriff's Office open a formal inquiry into the San Luis Valley sightings and cattle mutilations? Let me know your thoughts in the comments, because I think they probably should. But Hastings is not the only one facing pressure for speaking out. My earlier video covers the treason threat hanging over whistleblower Dylan Borland, the break-in at Matthew Brown's home where only his grandfather's ashes were taken and spread across the floor, and the active duty sailor who was told Arrow might bring in the Secretary of War to make him talk again. So make sure to watch this video next. I'm Christina Gomez. That is it for today. I will see you again next time for another UFO News update. Be safe and remember, keep your eyes on the skies.
