According to reports, the tape, which was filmed in California on September 15th, 1964, was viewed by US Air Force officers Lieutenant Bob Jacobs and Major Florenze Mansmann who were part of a team that had been tasked with recording missile test launches using special equipment.
The video itself, which has not been released to the public, allegedly shows a saucer-shaped craft circling what is believed to be an unarmed dummy missile after it had detached from its booster.
It can then be seen firing some sort of laser beam at the missile, apparently disabling it.
In a letter, Mansmann later described the object as a “classic disc, the center seemed to be a raised bubble…the entire lower saucer shape was glowing and seemed to be rotating slowly.”
“At the point of beam release…the object turned like an object required to be in a position to fire from a platform…but again this could be my own assumption from being in aerial combat,” he added.
After Jacobs and Mansmann had viewed the tape, two plain-clothed CIA agents reportedly attended the scene, confiscated the footage and swore both of the men to absolute secrecy.
The footage would remain lost to history until relatively recently when details of its existence were unearthed by author Robert Hastings who had been investigating the phenomenon.
As part of this, Hastings revealed that Luis Elizondo – former director of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) – had also claimed to have seen the video.
“The former AATIP director confirmed the existence of the video, the details regarding what it showed, and the location of a copy of it in AATIP’s workspaces,” Hastings wrote.
Without access to the video itself, however, it’s impossible to corroborate any of these claims.

If true this is incredible. I have known about the disabling of minuteman launch sites at various sites from Montana to Maine for brief periods of time, that is shutting down the systems, only to have them operate again when the UFO leaves. Something similar to this happened at Bentwaters Royal AFB, Christmas time of 1980 in England as the adjutant base commander, Lt. Col. Charles Halt and others witnessed the craft flood the nuclear weapon storage bays with a blue light. However I understood this to be a light and not a laser. I wonder if one of the objectives of these UFO entities is to save us from ourselves, should nuclear missles ever be launced. They are and have been so often around nuclear facilities.

Charles R, interesting info. especially about the blue light… I’ve never heard that part before.
It’s really unfortunate that society has had to live under constant lies and secrecy over a power struggle. If the leaders of the world truly led with their best for forward in honesty with good intentions for all, the human race would have so much more wisdom to the mysteries of the universe by now.
As most of us are aware of, technology is and has been far advanced in the highest levels of secrecy more so than what the majority of the population is allowed to obtain or know about… But the damaging aspects to lies and secrets are similar to growing a branch of evil and perpetuating the lie at such length to where these lines of communication becomes corrupted over this branch and then use that which was meant to hang us eventually fall upon the hangman himself.
Do unto others as they shall most definitely mirror your teachings and also do unto you. Reap what you sow. What goes around comes around. Lie in the bed of your making etc.
In other words, it too little too late to believe any newly released footage as credible now… Anything can be faked or created from nothing and then distressed, timestamped or made to look as coming from a different era in history. It’d be like the Patterson/Gimlin film just coming out now without the good, honest character and testimony of Bob Gimlin to back it up… In such a circumstance It’d be tough to give it any kind of credibility whatsoever in our modern age.

This happened a long time ago, didn’t it?
