United States Air Force Pilot Milton Torres Discusses His 1957 UFO Encounter
I recently heard Nick Pope discuss the case of Milton Torres and it’s got to be one of the more compelling pilot/UFO encounters I’ve heard of. You don’t usually hear of the pilots being ordered to intercept and shoot UFOs down. See for yourself in this emotional video from the Disclosure Press Conference held at the National Press Club on April 20th, 2009.
Torres and his fellow pilot were in the “alert shack” at RAF Manston when they received instructions to take to the air. The two pilots raced to their respective F-86Ds and took off well within the allotted five minutes. “As soon as my wheels were in the well, I received a call from the Ground-controlled interception (GCI) station at RAF Metropolitan (Met) Sector informing me that this would be a fire mission and that I would be selecting all 24 of my rockets,” Torres remembers.[3]
“The very first thing they told me was that I was to fire my rockets at the object,” Torres said in a 2009 interview. “The message from GCI was clear. Someone had made the decision to shoot at the UFO even before I took to the air.”[4] {source: wikipedia}
