By Sammie Jones-
A former air force captain has decided to tell his story of how UFOs attacked and disabled American nuclear weapons during his time in the air force.
David D Schindele was a former minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile launch crew commander in the Minot Air Force Base missile field in North Dakota.
In December 1966, Schindele was at a launch control facility, near Mohall, North Dakota, when an unexplained incident occurred.
He dramatically claims a UFO destroyed 10 nuclear-tipped missiles he was in charge of, rendering them completely ineffective. Schinelle claims he was compelled not to verify the strange incident. The incident which occurred just over 5o years ago has previously been leaked in some circles, but the former air force commander never verified it.

The incident was covered by the Minot Daily News in December 1966 as front page story. However, the authenticity of the story was quickly shut down to keep it quiet.
Mr Schindele sensationally claims air force officials ordered him to never to speak about the incident, and effectively erase it from his memory. For the first time, he lifts the lid on the story
in a new book “It Never Happened, Volume 1.”
Mr Schindele told the Minot Daily News: “During that time in Minot, many of us experienced unworldly incidents at Minuteman facilities but we were all individually instructed to keep silent. We never realised at the time that others among us were also experiencing incidents, but now the truth is becoming known.”
He explained that he decided to write the book after hearing some years ago of a similar incident experienced by another missileer.
He said: “About 35 years after my Minot incident and learning about an identical incident experienced by another missileer, Captain Robert Salas, connected to Malmstrom AFB in Montana, which was during the same general timeframe as my incident, I then contemplated coming forth with the ‘truth’.
“After discovering in 2010 that other missileers with me at Minot also experienced associated incidents, I then decided to conduct extensive research on Air Force cover-up to find out exactly why the Air Force told all of us to keep our ‘lips zipped.’

We all had top secret clearances, but that was not enough to allow the Air Force to provide truth to us, or to explain the incidents.
“We were all kept in the dark and never trained on how to manage such incidents and situations should they reoccur.
“It was a very disconcerting time for all of us.
“It was a six-and-a-half year effort, but I also realised that a second volume would be needed to make it complete.”
