Podcast UFO - UFO Shut Down 10 Nuclear Missiles – USAF Captain David Schindele!

In this riveting interview, Martin Willis speaks with retired U.S. Air Force Captain Dave Schindele, a former Missile Launch Control Officer, who recounts a harrowing and long-suppressed incident from September 1966.

While stationed at Minot Air Force Base, Schindele and his crew took over a missile site—only to discover that all 10 nuclear-tipped Minuteman ICBMs had been mysteriously rendered unlaunchable after a chilling encounter with a "flying object."

Despite the severity of the breach, no one was ever questioned, and everyone involved was told to “forget it ever happened.” Now, after decades of silence, Schindele is sharing his story, the cover-up, and his deep insights into what this means for national security and the UFO/UAP phenomenon.

He also discusses his time working on:

The Air Force Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL)

The Apollo astronaut backpack systems

And his later civilian career in aerospace and education
