"It shot a beam of light. Then it erased the warhead."
This UFO investigation exposes the 1964 footage the CIA seized: a UFO firing on a nuclear warhead in space — filmed by the Air Force officer in charge. A UFO. A nuclear warhead. The film that vanished.
Host Matt Ford welcomes back Dr. Bob Jacobs — a former USAF Captain and Emmy-winning filmmaker who, as a lieutenant, ran the photo-optical instrumentation unit at Vandenberg Air Force Base. On September 15, 1964, a Boston University telescope tracked an Atlas missile test downrange to Big Sur. When the film was developed, it showed a disc-shaped UFO entering frame at 60 miles altitude, firing four beams of light at the nuclear warhead, and flying out — captured at a moment the human eye couldn't see. Two days later, CIA officers screened it for Jacobs, cut the film off the reel, and told him it never happened.
Jacobs sat on it for 17 years. When he finally went public, his mailbox was blown up, his phone tapped, and he lost two teaching jobs. Decades later he testified to AARO — and watched the Pentagon's director publicly call him a liar. This is firsthand military UFO testimony: the UFO-nuclear connection Robert Salas and over 160 servicemen have documented, the Big Sur cover-up, and the national-security stakes of a UFO that can disable a nuclear weapon.
This is evidence-based UFO and UAP analysis rooted in science and national security — the nuclear-UFO incidents the government buried, and the witnesses still telling the truth. Beyond the headlines, the UFO film the CIA didn't want you to see.
