Sweep of all hosted page text, 2026-11-12: AARO's Historical Record Vol. I p. 30 says AARO interviewed former ICBM crew (Malmstrom, Ellsworth, Vandenberg, Minot, 1966-77) and deferred findings to Vol. II; at the 17 May 2022 House hearing (transcript p. 37) Bray said the UAP Task Force had not looked at Malmstrom.
