"The purpose of GLADIO was to attack civilians, the people - women, children, innocent people, unknown people, far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force the public to turn to the State and demand greater security. Under a strategy of tension, you 'destabilize in order to stabilize', to create tension within society and promote conservative, reactionary social and political tendencies."
~ Italian neo-fascist whose prosecution led to the discovery of NATO's 'Gladio' networks across Western Europe

In reference to Robert Hastings, prominent in your article, he tends to say a lot of things, most of which can't stand up to careful examination. He is, in fact, a well-confirmed liar and fraud, pure and simple. This has been repeatedly proven many times in the past. If you do the research yourself instead of taking his word for what happened during an event he was not present to witness, I'm certain you'll reach the same conclusion.
For instance, Robert Hastings' and Robert Salas' claims for the past 15 years regarding a centerpiece of their "UFOs and Nukes" lectures is one of those cases. Hastings' discussions of Robert Salas' claims involving asserted experiences during the alleged UFO events at Echo Flight and Oscar Flight in March 1967 fail to take into account the widely known facts of Salas' very poor credibility and his numerous, proven lies to the public regarding this matter. There were no UFOs involved at Echo Flight at all, and the incident at Oscar Flight never even happened. The men who have spread these lies, primarily Robert Salas and Robert Hastings, have done so for their own benefit, and they have proven to be both dishonest and wrong on numerous occasions in numerous ways. Both men are proven liars who didn't merely get a few facts wrong; they invented them entirely, and they did so to take advantage other people's desires to believe. This is how they earn their paychecks.
The only thing people need to understand about sources of information like Robert Salas and Robert Hastings can be summed up pretty quickly: if you can't trust them to tell the truth, why would you listen to anything that they have to say? They invent issues, write about them, and sell them to people; they charge outrageous fees for their lectures, and they sell videotapes and DVDs discussing their inventions as if they were factual. There is no basis in fact, however -- the lies they've told are indisputable. And yet you are elevating them to a level of reasonable sources of validated information, when they clearly are not.
I would recommend that if you are truly interested in understanding something about Robert Salas' or Robert Hastings' credibility, you go to the following URLs, where you can download at no cost a book and supporting articles discussing in some detail exactly how far they can be trusted:

These are free to anybody, and you'll never require an Amazon membership to learn a few of the facts. I would also recommend that you examine the numerous interviews and articles at the Reality Uncovered website: [Link]-- seven of the top eleven articles all discuss the events at Echo Flight and Oscar Flight in March 1967, and include interviews with both the commander and the deputy commander at Echo Flight on March 16, 1967 when the missiles were taken offline by an electronic noise pulse, an incident that was thoroughly investigated and very well documented. To this day, Robert Salas insists that both men confirm his claims of UFO interference, which both men deny strongly, while Robert Hastings refuses entirely to discuss the matter or answer any questions regarding the testimonies of the only men who were present during the alleged UFO incident, preferring instead to attack the integrity and credibility of those raising such issues. Hastings has even gone so far as to invent entirely the titles and alleged contents of various non-existent books relating epilepsy to paranoia and mental illness in order to suggest that one of his many critics shouldn't be trusted because of his epilepsy. Incredibly, he has also publically defamed the author of this missive by insisting that his own father "told him" about a nervous breakdown that has apparently been an ongoing crisis for over three years! Meanwhile, he refuses to answer necessary questions regarding his own numerous, proven lies, and has neglected as well to defend his own theories against numerous accusations of massive fraud and profiteering on a scale the UFO communities have only rarely been subjected to.
A lot information regarding this incident can be found at the Reality Uncovered forum, in particular the Echo Flight Incident thread: [Link] This thread also contains numerous communications with the above mentioned Dwynne Arneson, USAF Lt.Col. Ret. – Communications centre officer-in-charge, and show that his claims are also silly little chimeras without inherent worth or a single word of truth to speak of. All three men are proven liars who have created fiction and called it fact, something anyone willing to actually do the research can determine very readily for himself, as the events -- contrary to the claims of Hastings and Salas and Arneson -- were declassified before 1980.
Tim Hebert, an ex-USAF missileer himself, has also written some enlightening articles regarding the case on his blog at: [Link]
Dr. David Clarke, for many years an accepted expert regarding the British military forces' investigations of the UFO phenomenon for many years, has also discussed this case in the context of the "UFO and Nukes" connection asserted by author Robert Hastings. You can read his article on the subject at [Link]
The lies currently being spread by Robert Hastings and Robert Salas have not merely been dismissed as one possible interpretation of their claims, they have been repeatedly proven as lies by witness testimony and documented evidence. There is no doubt whatsoever that they created this case for their own benefit. There were no UFOs involved -- it is a lie, and nothing more. Witnesses that both men have presented to the public have actually come forward to dispute the claims these men have made. They insist that their statements were taken out of context and distorted purposely in order to suggest the presence of UFOs where no such presence could otherwise be established. Salas and Hastings have perpetrated a UFO hoax of the worst sort, and have attempted to destroy the reputations and career service of better men than themselves, all to sell their books and enable them to charge outrageous prices for their public speaking tours, lectures, and videos.
The bottom line is simple: if they cannot be trusted to tell the truth, why would anybody believe anything at all that they have to say? Both men have proven themselves to be dishonest, so any information regarding this issue that they are being paid to discuss should not be trusted at all. These men have told numerous lies to support their assertions, and that should be taken into consideration whenever they present such doubtful claims as those they have repeatedly consigned to the public trough.
