As a fun aside, look HERE and scroll down to where it talks about an incident(s) that NORAD was involved with in Montana on 7 Nov 1975. I was actually present at the NORAD Region HQ the night this happened, and I'll never forget that night. No, I don't think it was little green men, but the truth is, to this day I have no idea what we witnessed that night on our system. Whatever it was, it had the brass very anxious. (I was a computer maintenance man on the NORAD SAGE Computer system at that time stationed at Malmstrom AFB, MT from 1972 to 1979)
stood out:Meanwhile, targeting teams, along with computer specialists, were brought to the missile site to check out the missile, and specifically, the computer in the warhead that targets the missile. Amazingly, when the computer was checked, they found that the tape had mysteriously changed target numbers! The re-entry vehicle was then taken from the silo and brought back to the base. Eventually the entire missile was changed. (Clear Intemt, 27)
The higher-ups knew exactly what to look for, this must have happened more than a few times.
