Stanislav Petrov was a Soviet military officer who, on 26 September 1983, judged that a computer warning of incoming U.S. missiles was a false alarm rather than an actual attack. His decision not to escalate the alert is widely credited with helping prevent a potentially catastrophic nuclear response.
