Not likely that a USAF nuclear weapons technician would blab about what he saw while on duty. Anyway, it’s the Daily Star. They value sensationalism a bit more than facts.
Exactly. Those of us who worked/work with nukes in the Air Force had some version of the following mantra driven into us as a reply to questions about them:
"It is the policy of the United States Air Force to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons at any given location in the world."
Right, and he doesn't have the same immunity as Mrs. Bill Clinton when it comes to disclosing Secret and Top-Secret information.
I can neither confirm nor deny that I ever had duties involving "silver bullets," despite any evidence to the contrary.
But what I can tell you with a high degree of certainty is this:
No one who works with or around nuclear weapons is ever alone.
It is one of the core fundamentals of nuclear weapons safety protocols called the "Two man rule," although even in the early 90's the USAF was getting woke and changed it to the "Two person concept."
But all joking aside, if anything like this ever occurred it is certain that there would have to have been multiple witnesses.
