An airman has witnessed a ' UFO ' while he was guarding nuclear weapons at a US Air Force base - adding that he's seen 'shadow people' at similar installations.

Former USAF nuclear weapons technician Adrian Reister said that between 2003 and 2007 he was stationed at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, where he would guard, maintain, and move nuclear weapons.

He said that while performing his duties, he saw a glowing 'orb' hovering above a nearby treeline before flying off, as the Daily Star reports.

Adrian, 37, said that it couldn't have been one of their planes as he knew them all extensively, and he added that while he was training at a similar station he came face-to-face with a terrifying 6ft 'shadow person'.

What do you think about Adrian's sightings? Let us know in the comments...

Speaking to Liberation Times, he said: "I [noticed] a light or orb hovering along the top of the tree line, I’d thought it was just a star at the time but as I continued surveilling the area, the light/orb shot above the treetops and hung there for some time. Maybe it was a satellite I thought."

But then, just as a transport team arrived to secure the weapon, "the orb bounced a little in the sky then shot to the left (north) then shot 90 degrees straight up and disappeared."

Adrian said he had a similar experience at the base some time later, noting that he saw a “single glowing orb,” glowing with what he describes as a “yellowish-white” colour.

But that isn’t the strangest experience Reister had while stationed at the nuclear base.

In the Summer of 2006, while working a night shift maintaining a dummy practice bomb, the nuclear weapons tech encountered what he describes as a "shadow person".

First he heard footsteps – but not the familiar sound of one of his Air Force comrades in standard-issue combat boots. The mystery intruder appeared to be padding around the high-security base bare-footed.

After hearing the footsteps a couple of times he got up to investigate and had a chilling encounter with something that was not entirely human.

He said: "I saw what I can’t really describe as other than a black mass in the shape of a person standing at 6ft. Not really a shadow but something that was slightly blurry and didn’t reflect any light."
