David D. Schindele

Retired Air Force Captain David D. Schindele spent his active military career as an ICBM launch control officer with both the Atlas E and Minuteman One weapon systems, and then he remained in the Air Force reserve long enough to obtain his retirement papers and retain his officer commission. After active duty, he worked as an aerospace engineer in development of the Air Force Manned Orbiting Laboratory, and also Apollo astronaut backpacks used on the moon. He then settled into a thirty-two year career as a computer systems analyst working for two major companies, until retiring in 2002. For nearly forty years, Captain Schindele kept his Air Force mandated secret of the un-earthly experience he had, which put ten of his Minuteman missiles out of commission. It was only after other missileers began to tell of their similar experiences that he recognized that Truth of the “UFO question” must be released to all of humankind. He currently resides in Washington State with his wife Diana, in a marriage of twenty-one years, and they have a combined family of four adult children and eight grandchildren.
