Walter Cronkite, who died recently, saw UFO destroy a U.S. missile

In 1973, Walter Cronkite was working on a CBS story involving UFOs. He interviewed leading UFO researchers to find material and stories about incidents for the special. The most remarkable story however was not covered. That was Cronkite’s own UFO experience during the 1950s when covering a U.S. missile launch in the Pacific.
Bill Knell in 1973 was only beginning his career in UFO research. He relates how during his interview by Cronkite for the CBS special, Cronkite shared his own UFO experience. Knell explained that Cronkite and the other reporters covering the missile test were not allowed to take photos or audio. Reporters could only write about the test. There would be no photographic or audio record of the surprising event that would happen. Knell writes:

CBS Reports with Walter Cronkite ; UFO Friend, Foe or Fantasy, May 10, 1966.

The Whole Story

Unfortunately, Mr Cronkite is not around to verify the story. I would like to know where the recording of that interview is? This is explosive stuff if it is true.

I don't think there is one.

Cronkite’s experience was not the only time a UFO had been witnessed destroying or disabling a missile. In 1964, Professor Robert Jacobs served as a Lieutenant with the U.S. Air Force and was stationed at Vandenberg Air Force base. He was responsible for filming the test of an Atlas missile. He captured on film the following incident:
"...we were testing ballistic missiles that were to deliver nuclear weapons on target...my duty [was] to supervise the instrumentation photography of every missile that went down in that western test range...and into the frame came something else. It flew into the frame and shot a beam of light at the warhead. Now remember, all this stuff is flying at several thousand miles an hour. So this thing [UFO] fires a beam of light at the warhead, hits it and then it [the UFO] moves to the other side and fires another beam of light, then moves again and fires another beam of light, then goes down and fires another beam of light, and then flies out the way it came in. And the warhead tumbles out of space. The object, the points of light that we saw, the warhead and so forth, were traveling through subspace about 60 miles straight up. And they were going somewhere in the neighborhood of 11,000 to 14,000 miles an hour when this UFO caught up to them, flew in, flew around them, and flew back out.
Jacobs experience along with other incidents of UFOs interfering with nuclear missiles and facilities is covered in a book by Robert Hastings, UFOs and Nukes.
Cronkite ultimately choose not to include his own UFO experience in his 1973 CBS Special. While Cronkite told a few friends and researchers about the UFO incident, he never made a public statement about it. Cronkite’s passing away on July 17, 2009 will be mourned by many. Something else to mourn is that he took to the grave perhaps one of the most remarkable UFO incidents ever witnessed by a U.S. reporter.

OK, so again: we have a person claiming to know stuff. He comes forward with his story, long time after he retired from his job.

The fact is, thisstory isn´t true or interpreted wrong. All these people, who are old or dead came up with these stories, because they were scared of being forgotten.

i was jogging down the road the other night and i crossed in front off this building that had a U.F.O. above it. it had bright neon lights all around it, with X's. I felt this relaxing feeling yet butterflies were in my stomack. I slowly walked towards it to investigate, and i noticed men kept going in but no one was coming out. I went in and flashing lights were everywhere, i thought at first i set off an alarm. The noise was load and seem to be very repeatitive, there was also this load mumbled voice that every couple minutes was muttering things like star, moon, venus, milkyway, fantasia, and so on. I dont remember much after that. Last thing i do remember is walking out (very sore) into the daylight, it seemed i went through some kind of time warp. when i got home i had noticed i had shiny particles all over me (like glitter) and all my money was gone. In my phone was a number to a place called Odyssey 2001 tampa FL look it up! The aliens are here guys, and there taking all our dollar bills.

Walter Cronkite was also a curmudgeon of sorts and would not be afraid to tell what he saw when he was alive. He always did tell it like it was, so I do have a problem with him keeping something like this secret. We did have some military people come forward about flying saucers and missiles who were on Larry King, so why wouldn't Mr Cronkite?
