When I heard one of your guests mention a 1977 UFO incident at Ellsworth AFB, and that it has since been dismissed as a hoax, I was a bit startled. I’d never heard of the event before, and still don’t know the details other than the few given on the show - or why it was determined to be untrue.
But this I DO know, and the reason for my surprise:
During that time (the late 70s) my wife’s brother was a Strategic Air Command (B-52) pilot stationed at Ellsworth. He was also an avid outdoorsman and hunter, and with a few of his Air Force buddies, that’s what he did during his off time.
It was his mother who related the following to me, twenty-some ago, that gave me a heads-up when I heard your guest.
Her son was still in the Air Force when he first told her this, but had become a Jehovah’s Witness and since gotten out when she told me.
Anyway, she said he had come to her one day and told her that he was camped out on a multi-day hunt with his friends when one of the other officers revealed that he had been part of a security detail charged with guarding an alien being that had been captured. She didn’t recall a lot of details beyond that, except that her son was convinced the man recounting the incident was serious, and that he, himself was not given to indulging in fantastic stories. Something I know to be true.
I asked my mother-in-law if they had ever discussed it again, and she said that she had brought it up once after he had become a Jehovah’s Witness, but he refused to talk about it anymore, saying such things were demonic.
