I can’t believe it either: we actually elected a black president. I’m ashamed to realize that I underestimated my fellow citizens, but I think it’s the same old story: the bigoted minority makes the most noise.

And yet, that’s exactly what happened at Minot Air Force Base, and not only that, IT HAPPENED TO ROBERT SALAS. He was actually on duty in a missile command center when he received frantic word from the guards topside that a large glowing object was hanging right outside the gate to the facility. And then the klaxons began going off.
