(OPINION) A former nuclear missile base boss, who later developed backpacks for NASA Apollo astronauts, has claimed a UFO crippled ten of his nukes in their silos.

Retired US Air Force Captain David D Schindele yesterday alleged the bizarre incident unfolded in 1966, while he was a missile launch crew commander in the Minot Air Force Base missile field in North Dakota. But the former serviceman was ordered never to breathe a word of what he saw, a bombshell press conference heard.

Along with other former American air force chiefs, Captain Schindele was giving evidence about how aliens allegedly tampered with weapons systems during tests, at nuclear bases, and even disabling doomsday missiles. In his testimony at the National Press Club in Washington DC, he said:

“I was involved in a UFO incident at the time, where a flying object tampered with and took down a total of ten nuclear-tipped ICBM missiles by rendering them un-launchable.” Captain Schindele said he awoke in December 1966 at the base to radio reports of UFO sightings by civilians in nearby Mohall.

Arriving above the underground missile control room, he was taken by the site manager to a ground-based “security centre” to tell him he and other security guards witnessed a flying saucer hovering outside a window. Presenting a map to yesterday’s press conference, Captain Schindele said: “He [site manager] described a large object just outside the perimeter fence, with bright flashing lights, but without noise, and it hovered close to the ground.” READ MORE
