Phil Schneider
Phil Schneider (April 23, 1947 – January 1996) was an American self-proclaimed geological and structural engineer who gained attention in the mid-1990s for his controversial claims regarding secret government projects, underground military bases, and encounters with extraterrestrial beings. Schneider alleged that he was involved in the construction of deep underground military bases (DUMBs) in the United States and that he survived a violent confrontation with alien entities in 1979 at the Dulce Base in New Mexico.

Early Life and Education edit
Phil Schneider was reportedly born on April 23, 1947, in the United States. Details about his early life and education are scarce and largely unverified. Schneider claimed that his father, Oscar Schneider, was a German U-boat captain during World War II who later worked for the United States Navy as a medical officer involved in nuclear medicine.[1]
Career edit
Schneider stated that he was a geological and structural engineer who worked for the U.S. government and private contractors in the late 1970s and 1980s.[1] He claimed to have been involved in the construction of numerous underground military facilities across the country, including the infamous Dulce Base.[1]
Allegations and Claims edit
In 1995, Schneider began giving lectures about his alleged experiences with secret government projects and extraterrestrial beings. His primary claims include:
Dulce Base Incident: Schneider asserted that in 1979, he was involved in a firefight between humans and extraterrestrial entities deep underground at the Dulce Base, resulting in the deaths of 60 human personnel.[1]
Government Collaboration with Aliens: He alleged that the U.S. government had been collaborating with alien species since the 1950s, engaging in technology exchange programs.[1]
Black Budget Projects: Schneider spoke about "black budget" programs funded by clandestine government operations, involving trillions of dollars used to build underground facilities and develop exotic technologies.
New World Order: He warned about a global agenda aimed at establishing a one-world government, suggesting that secret societies and hidden alliances were orchestrating major world events.[1]
Throughout his lectures, Schneider presented photographs, diagrams, and alleged government documents as evidence to support his claims.
Death edit
On January 17, 1996, Phil Schneider was found dead in his apartment in Wilsonville, Oregon. His death was officially ruled a suicide by the Clackamas County coroner's office. However, some of his supporters and family members have disputed this conclusion, suggesting that he was murdered due to the sensitive information he disclosed. They point to the unusual circumstances of his death and the disappearance of documents and artifacts that he allegedly possessed.
Legacy edit
Phil Schneider's claims have had a lasting impact on conspiracy theory and UFO communities. His lectures continue to circulate online, fueling discussions about government secrecy, extraterrestrial life, and underground bases. Schneider is often cited in books, documentaries, and articles exploring alleged government cover-ups and the existence of alien life.
Criticism and skepticism edit
Many researchers and skeptics question the veracity of Schneider's claims, citing a lack of verifiable evidence and inconsistencies in his stories. Investigations into his background have found little to no official records confirming his employment with government agencies or involvement in classified projects.
Critics also point out that his technical explanations often lack scientific credibility, and his alleged evidence has not been independently verified.
