Former Minot AFB missile officer to discuss UAPs

A former Minot Air Force Base Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile officer who was involved with a 1966 UFO incident in the Minot missile field, will be a member of a “UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) and Nukes Panel: Disturbing Confrontations Over Nuclear Bases” on Friday during the Contact in the Desert Conference.

Dave Schindele of Mukilteo, Washington, a retired Air Force captain, will be among several panelists, including Robert Salas, also a former Air Force missile officer. Salas was involved in an event at Malmstrom AFB, Montana, in 1967, similar to the one Schindele was involved in at Minot AFB in 1966. Ten nuclear missiles were temporarily disabled, taking them offline during the event Salas was involved in. The panel will be led by host Steve Bassett, a UFO (unidentified flying object) lobbyist and executive director of the Paradigm Research Group.

Over fifty-eight years ago, I and my crew commander, Major Gordon Tollerud, relieved/replaced a Launch Crew at “November Flight,” on September 25, 1966. This was not just an ordinary crew changeover, because the crew we relieved had just been involved in a very critical national security incident, where a UFO paid a visit to November Flight overnight and took down all ten of its nuclear tipped Minuteman ICBM missiles, which had been under careful control of the crew we relieved.

My commander and I were the first people to arrive at the Launch Facility, where we interviewed six security guards, a site manager, and cook, who were all top-side and viewed the UFO directly. And then we interviewed the launch crew in the Launch Control Capsule sixty feet below ground. In an extensive debriefing of the outgoing crew, they were totally mystified as to how all the missiles became disabled with a “guidance and control system malfunction,” which was during the time the UFO was seen top-side.

“When the crew returned to base, they were directed to sign a non-disclosure agreement and severely told to never talk or mention the incident again for as long as they should live. My commander and I then inherited ten un-launchable missiles, where we had to coordinate with maintenance and security crews to bring the missiles back to “Alert” status, which probably took many days. But my commander also received a phone call overnight from the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) directing that we both must never talk of the incident again.

According to info on Amazon: "About the Author", after his active duty time he remained in the Air Force reserve long enough to obtain his retirement papers and retain his commission.

Retired Air Force captain?

Yes, that really jumps out at you. Either a mustang or a slow burner.

Retired as a Captain? This person did not have a particularly successful military career.
