Big Sur Atlas launch film

From August to November 1964 an Air Force photo team on a Big Sur mountaintop filmed missile launches from Vandenberg through a borrowed light-sensitive telescope. Since 1982 Robert Jacobs, the team's on-site officer, has said that the film of one Atlas launch showed a disc-shaped object approach the warhead, fire beams at it and send it tumbling, and that the film was taken away soon after it was viewed. Kingston George, the project engineer, wrote in 1993 that the footage showed the release of classified decoy warheads and chaff, a penetration-aid test Jacobs was not cleared to know about. The launch was an Atlas nicknamed 'Buzzing Bee'; no copy of the film has been produced publicly.

  Bob Jacobs, a lieutenant attached to Vandenberg AFB in 1964, recorded a UFO firing a laser-like beam at and disabling a nuclear dummy warhead during a missile test; his film was confiscated the same day, and when Jacobs later reported this to AARO, AARO falsely claimed to have located the original footage and found nothing anomalous in it.

  They made up a story that they had tracked down the original footage and there was nothing like that in it. Well, there was no original footage.
