Cristina Gomez: Robert Hastings on the FBI's catch-up team, Mario Woods and a San Luis Valley light
Cristina Gomez's recap, uploaded 29 October 2026, of Robert Hastings's interview on Psicoactivo. Hastings says the FBI has a small team of agents 'catching up' on the history of UFOs at nuclear sites, that he spent two hours with them after Semivan, Elizondo and Mellon vouched for the effort, and that an unnamed source says the findings are being briefed to White House staff. He also describes a zigzagging light over the San Luis Valley on the night of a cattle mutilation, the death of Mario Woods, the timing problem in the 2025 Wall Street Journal EMP story about Malmstrom, an unnamed-witness cigar over F.E. Warren in 2010, and his own 1995 levitation.

Witness testimony (6)
The FBI reached him through Robert Salas, who had already met agents and given them his name. The lead agent, whom he calls only 'Adam', had read UFOs and Nukes. He was told the bureau has authorised a small team of agents in field offices around the country to 'catch up' on the history of the subject as part of 'an official push' so it can speak and investigate knowledgeably. Jim Semivan, Luis Elizondo and Chris Mellon each told him separately that they were working with the bureau. He then spent about two hours taking the agents through his files from the 1970s on.The FBI has not commented. Fits the bureau's interest already on file through Joshua Shelton.firsthandRobert Hastings (on Psicoactivo, Oct 2026) → Cristina Gomez → told itRobert SalasJim SemivanLuis ElizondoChristopher MellonJoshua SheltonNellis Area II nuclear weapons storage: orbs, a disc, shadow figures and missing time (2002-2008)
In early August 2026, on the night a ranching couple about 15 miles south of his home in the San Luis Valley, Colorado, found a mutilated cow, he saw from his bedroom window 'a light zigzagging through the sky and then blinking out', which he says was not an aircraft, a drone or a satellite. The ranchers told him they had seen it too, closer to their property; a neighbour found a second mutilated animal shortly after. About two weeks before the interview the same couple began reporting large objects that smaller objects joined and then left in different directions, too far away to film clearly.Lead only: the ranchers are not named and no sheriff's report has been published.firsthandRobert Hastings (on Psicoactivo, Oct 2026) → Cristina Gomez → told it
No one contacted him or Robert Salas before the 2025 Wall Street Journal story that put the 1967 Malmstrom shutdown down to a secret electromagnetic pulse test. Salas, he and Marik von Rennenkampff (the captions read 'Mark von Renamp') sent rebuttals to the editor, and no correction followed. The documents behind the pulse explanation show the system was proposed in 1971 and tested in 1973, four to six years after the shutdown.The captions read 'Mark von Renamp'; the writer is Marik von Rennenkampff. The EMP test is a natural cause proposed, not demonstrated, and the dates argue against it.firsthandRobert Hastings (on Psicoactivo, Oct 2026) → Cristina Gomez → told itMissiles shut down at MalmstromRobert Salas
He confirmed Mario Woods's service at Ellsworth through his DD-214 discharge record before arranging a hypnosis session in Florida in October 2017; on the session video Woods is 'instantly terrified' and tries to crawl off the bed and hide. Woods was diagnosed with leukemia weeks after the August 2026 reunion with Michael Johnson and died within two to three weeks of the diagnosis.Gomez gives the date of death as 26 October; published reports from 16 to 19 October put it on 16 October (see person/mario-woods).firsthandRobert Hastings (on Psicoactivo, Oct 2026) → Cristina Gomez → told itMario WoodsMichael JohnsonTwo airmen and a craft at an Ellsworth missile site
In early 1995 in a Pittsburgh hotel room he received what he calls a telepathic message, gasped 'they're here', and levitated off the bed toward the ceiling for what seemed five or six seconds ('I was not dreaming'). He woke hours later in daylight; a firefighter told him his hotel and the one next door had lost power overnight while restaurants across the street on the same grid kept theirs. On New Year's Eve 2014 he saw a gray being at the foot of his bed.Published in 2019 in Confession, written with Bob Jacobs.firsthandRobert Hastings (on Psicoactivo, Oct 2026) → Cristina Gomez → told itRobert Jacobs
Phone and email harassment against him picked up again in the week of the interview.

In October 2010, when the Air Force lost contact with 50 Minuteman III missiles at F.E. Warren AFB, Wyoming, for about 45 minutes, two missile maintenance technicians in the field saw 'a huge cigar-shaped object' flying silently over the missile field, and more than one team reported it to supervisors. It was the last case he investigated himself.The loss of contact is on the public record; the sighting rests on unnamed technicians. The Air Force review blamed a circuit card 1/8 inch from being fully seated: the official explanation, a natural cause proposed but not shown to rule out the object.anonymoustwo unnamed missile maintenance technicians → a retired Air Force target specialist → Robert Hastings → Cristina Gomez → told it
