Apparently, Aliens Tried to Nuke Us in 1968

Here's one you don't hear every day: According to some "Top Secret" Air Force documents, a UFO flew into a North Dakota missile silo on June 6, 1968, paralyzed a few troops and armed a nuclear warhead.

The pertinent part of the document, sics and all:

"Sergeant on duty got call from MP [redacted]. He stated that the guards at one of the missile silos come over to see a strange object fly in over a silo. Sergeant [redacted] took two other men with him to check-in. Arriving at the gate of the silo Sergeant [redacted] noticed that the guards at the silo were like statues and the locks on the gates were open. the sergeant then had contact with the officers down in the silo. They were very upset and stated that the missile had been armed and unlocked in launch mode, and that the warhead was armed."

This revelation comes out of the International UFO Congress, and was apparently uncovered by a man who wishes to remain anonymous as he was going through a trunk of his deceased father's belongings.
