Aliens targetting our Nukes?

This theory has it all, little green men, a Cold War backdrop, nuclear missiles, and retired army men going public with their 'proof' that humans are not alone in the universe.
In a nutshell, a group of former US troops will present their case later today that extraterrestrial beings frequently visit the earth and tamper with our nuclear weapons in both the UK and US.
Captain Robert Salas and his five ex-military cohorts say they have cast iron evidence that aliens have been tampering with minutemen missiles, and that UFOs have caused major blackouts that threatened to spark a nuclear holocaust at the height of the Cold War.
You can read more about Salas' claims here.
This could be the long-awaited proof of alien existence that X Files enthusiasts have been holding their breath for.
Or it could be a tall tale born out of a small grain of truth - harking back to a time when experimental Russian crafts were being developed to interrupt signals and communications at allied nuclear sites.
The question is - do you want to believe?

The Case

From Napoleon to Hitler, some of the most powerful dictators in history have sought and obtained the Lance of Longinus - also known as the Spear of Destiny.
Said to be the holy sword which was used to slice open Jesus Christ at his Crucifixion, the blade is one of the most precious archeological pieces in the world.
Currently believed to be in the possession of an Austrian museum, myths and rumours have circulated for generations about the spear's supposed mystical powers.
Legend has it that the tip of the spear could allow its owner to rule the world, and the Fuhrer certainly believed in its power, enough to make it his number one priority when invading Austria.
Hitler is understood to have carried the artefact with him in the belief that it could make his Nazi army the rulers of the planet for all eternity.
Where the spear came from, whether it is the blade that pierced the skin of Christ, and what powers it truly possesses are all subject to endless conspiracy theories and folk stories.
Questions still surround the relic.
Could the Spear of Destiny really be the reason Hitler invaded Austria?
Will it be safe in its new location should another maniac come searching for it?
But the most important question remains - How much of this tale is myth, and how much is fact?

The Case

Predicting the end of the world is a tough job.
From the crown prince of prophecies Nostradamus, down to deluded dimwits like David Icke, many have tried, and all have failed to name the date of Armageddon.
Forecast since biblical times, the idea that one day, maybe in our lifetimes, the world will shudder to a halt has become one of the most powerful fears in human history.
We all seem to believe that somehow, someday, whether through supernova or nuclear holocaust, something will change and the world as we know it will cease to exist.
Tracing its roots back to the ice age and the extinction of the dinosaurs, this ancient terror has grown in recent years as hundreds of thousands of doomsayers worldwide point to one date - 21/12/2012.
Taken from the finishing date of the ancient Mayan Long Count calendar which was used in South America before the European conquerors took control of the continent, the theory states that a world-altering change is just two years away.
But what evidence is there to back up the theory, why have so many people turned their attention to this date, and what is the cataclysmic event that could bring the world to its knees?
Mixing together a little ancient wisdom and a lot of imagination, and this is a conspiracy theory that looks set to grow and grow as the fateful date draws near.
