Did you know that Maine could be the basis of it’s own X-Files episode? In part one of our examination of some of the mysteries of Loring Air Force Base, B digs into the weird happenings of October 1975 when an unidentified aircraft penetrated the weapons storage area of the base - famously home to a metric ton of nuclear weapons. Was it related to Russian surveillance in a Cold War espionage bid or a true case of a close encounter of the third kind?
