Robert Hastings’ father was career U.S. Air Force. Growing up on Air Force bases, Hastings was around during the famous Malstrom AFB UFO incident, and in 1967 witnessed five UFOs being tracked on radar at the base air traffic control tower. This experience led him to his decades-long research into the UFO-Nukes Connection. He now believes there is a link between the development of nuclear weapons in the mid-1940s, and the overall increase in UFO sightings since then.
