On the night of October 25, 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis had the whole country on edge. Near midnight, a guard at a top-secret air defense center in Duluth, Minnesota saw something climbing the fence. He fired at it and set off the sabotage alarm. At a small National Guard airfield in Wisconsin, the wrong horn went off. Pilots ran to F-106 fighter jets armed with nuclear rockets, started their engines, and rolled toward the runway, sure that World War III had begun. A phone call and a set of headlights stopped them just in time.
This episode of Declassified digs into the Air Force’s own declassified history of that night. You will hear about the summer camp airfield where the hangar door was too short for the jets, the surprise bombers that landed in Duluth with no warning, and the pilot who did not learn the truth for decades. You will also hear why the official file still has only one word for what climbed that fence.
Probably.
