When Youtuber Paul Tedford was filming an entourage of armored cars nearby the 341st Missile Wing at Malstrom Airforce Base in Montana, he caught one of those armored vehicles rear-ending an unmarked eighteen-wheeler on camera.

This normally wouldn’t make headlines, except Tedford is convinced that the dinged up truck was transporting a nuclear missile. In the video, he marvels at the lengthy procession of military vehicles escorting an eighteen wheeler in his hometown. As a policeman orders him to stop filming, the entire convoy is disrupted by a bumper-to-bumper collision.

What was in that truck? Why was Tedford ordered to stop recording the convoy? To Tedford, it seemed pretty obvious that the military was moving classified or dangerous weapons on the sly and didn’t want to be watched.

The guys at Jalopnik reached out to the Air Force base to find out whether Tedford was onto something or just a conspiracy theorist with a camera. Unsurprisingly, the Air Force did not supply many answers.

At approximately 12:30 p.m. (MST) Monday, an Air Force security vehicle made contact with the hitch of an Air Force tractor trailer on 10th Avenue South in Great Falls, Montana, during a convoy.
Aside from paint damage on the tractor trailer’s hitch and a small dent in the security vehicle bumper, there were no injuries, further damages or risk to the public’s safety. The convoy and all vehicles continued on without affecting their mission.

The 341st Missile Wing Safety Office and Air Force Global Strike Command are reviewing the incident.

Commenters on Tedford’s video pointed out that the rubbernecking was probably caused by his filming. The driver of the armored vehicle was likely distracted by the ruckus happening on the side of the road and got too close to the truck. Whether or not a legitimate nuclear missile was inside remains up for debate.

What do you think was in that truck? Let us know in the comments.
