While stationed with the 29th FIS 1965/66 at a local book store I found a paperback book with the possibility of the name "Operation Snowbo0y." Since then I have lost it and was trying to find another copy. Any assist would be great

Operation Snowboy is from a paperback book titled Scramble by MaJOR Mario Cappelli. It is a fictional story about 29th FIS at Malmstrom. Takes place in early 50's.

My father was stationed at Malmstrom AFB in 1966-67 and worked in the SAGE building. As some former members of the 29th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron will recall, there were several scrambles during that era to chase "unknowns" that were tracked on radar as they maneuvered near and/or hovered above the missile sites.

My "UFO-Nukes Connection" press conference in Washington D.C. last September included the participation of seven former or retired USAF personnel who described UFO activity at the ICBM sites outside of Malmstrom and other SAC bases in the '60s and '70s. CNN streamed the event live. The video of the press conference is at:

I have an informal 29th FIS patch created by a former squadron member which features an odd-looking creature seated in the cockpit of a fighter and the caption "The Land of Make Believe"--references to the "interesting" missions that some squadron members undertook back in the day. For a photo of that patch, please contact me at ufohastings@aol.com. All contacts will be kept confidential.
