It Never Happened, Volume 1: U.S. Air Force UFO Cover-up Revealed

by David D. Schindele

The book, “It Never Happened, Volume 1," is a riveting and amazing account of U.S. Air Force cover-up of the “UFO question.” It is authored by retired Air Force Captain David Schindele who was a former Minuteman ICBM launch control officer stationed at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota. It was there, in 1966, when he was involved with a spectacular incident where a flying object managed to take down all ten of his nuclear-tipped missiles, and render them unlaunchable! This very grave situation involved the strategic U.S. nuclear deterrent force, which was America’s first line of defense in the Cold War. It resulted in the Air Force “instructing” Captain Schindele to never speak of the incident again, and telling him “As far as you are concerned, It Never Happened.”

Captain Schindele maintained his silence for nearly forty years until other former missileers began to speak out about their incredible unearthly incidents. It was then that he attempted to learn the long history of the Air Force cover-up. He needed to find out why the Air Force publicly insisted that flying objects didn’t exist, and why it was stated that there was “nothing to investigate.” He also found he needed to confirm to the world the awesome Truth that, “We are not alone in the Universe.”
The book reveals the enormous attention given to Unearthly Flying Objects by the Air Force, which was documented in its own investigative efforts code-named Project Sign and Project Grudge. Those projects are examined in detail, which outlines a trail of convoluted and contorted investigative efforts to determine modus operandi of the objects and their potential threat to national security. Those efforts, however, were impacted by crucial and essential efforts by the Air Force to protect Truth of the UFO question, and the closely held, magnificent, and Monumental Secret of Roswell and other recoveries.

David Schindele was a U.S. Air Force "missileer" during the 1960s at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, and relates some interesting (and documented) cases of U.F.O.'s shutting down ICBM sites and rendering them incapable of firing their missiles. These incidents happened multiple times in 1966, 1967, and 1968, and perhaps have continued to this day. No known technology is able to do this, and the Air Force told the missile crews to act like "it never happened". He tracks down old comrades and other missileers who told similar things. The next three fourths of the book, regrettably, is sort of a rehash of the whole U.F.O. story from Kenneth Arnold in '47 through the 1950s, which only peripherally fit the narrative. What is clear from this book is that the government has known that U.F.O.'s are real from the beginning and because they could never explain who the visitors are or why they're here, just employed a policy of deny, deny, deny. Schindele says this is "Volume 1". I hope then next volume stays on a more limited topic line.
