- Missile count and date vary in later sources. 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. No contemporaneous record found. Bounded search: the 341st SMW unit histories (hosted on this site) record only the 16 Mar 1967 Echo Flight fault; no Oscar Flight incident and no guard statements appear. No other federal record of Oscar Flight was found (chunk F, 2026-11-12)
