Robert Lambert Hastings (born May 6, 1950), or Robert L. Hastings, is an American ufologist, author, and filmmaker known for his personal experience in the Malmstrom UFO incident in 1967[1] and his subsequent extensive research into the UFO sightings around and influence over nuclear facilities.[2][3][4]
Early life and Malmstrom incident
[edit]Hastings was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His father, Robert E. Hastings, was a member of the United States Air Force and was stationed at the Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana.[5] As a teenager, (Robert L.) Hastings worked at the Malmstrom Air Force Base air traffic control tower as a janitor.[6] In March 1967, he and the FAA and USAF controllers witnessed the radar tracking of five UFOs maneuvering near nuclear missile silos.[7][1][8][9][10][11]
Education and career
[edit]Hastings received a BFA in Photography at Ohio University in 1972 and later worked as a photographic technician at Northern Illinois University from 1973 to 1981. Between 1981 and 2017, he spoke at more than 500 US colleges and universities about the cover-up of UFOs by the U.S. government. He studied electron microscopy between 1986 and 1988 at San Joaquin Delta College. From 1988 to 2002, Hastings worked as a laboratory analyst at Philips Semiconductors in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[5]
Over the years, Hastings has interviewed over 160 veterans regarding UFO incursions at nuclear weapons facilities. He compiled the interviews into the book titled UFOs & Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites, which was first published in 2008.[12] The second edition was published in 2017. [13] In 2016, he directed the documentary UFOs and Nukes: The Secret Link Revealed, featuring several of the veterans he interviewed for the similarly titled book.[14]
On September 27, 2010, he hosted a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington D.C., which CNN streamed live. During that event, seven U.S. Air Force veterans discussed their involvement in incidents involving UFO activity at nuclear weapons sites.[15]
