On September 26, 1983, Soviet early warning satellites detected five incoming U.S. nuclear missiles headed directly for the USSR. Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov was the duty officer that night. Protocol demanded he immediately report the attack to his superiors, who would launch a full nuclear counterstrike. Petrov had seconds to decide. Something felt wrongβif the U.S. was launching a first strike, why only five missiles? He broke protocol and reported it as a system malfunction instead of an attack. He was right. It was a computer glitch caused by sunlight reflecting off clouds that the satellite mistook for missile launches. If Petrov had followed orders, the Soviet Union would have launched hundreds of nuclear missiles at the United States. NATO would have responded. Billions would have died in nuclear war. One man's gut instinct and willingness to disobey direct orders prevented World War III. He was initially reprimanded for not following procedure.
