Schneider 'Dulce firefight' (1979) claim + death controversy.
disputedclose_encounterWhistleblower Claimants
Philip Schneider's lecture-circuit claim of surviving a 1979 underground 'Dulce firefight' between workers/military and Grey ETs (~60 dead); his 1996 death was ruled suicide but is contested.
Claim: as a geologist/engineer building Deep Underground Military Bases he survived a 1979 firefight at Dulce, NM (losing fingers to an alien weapon). Unverified UFO lore. Death controversy (genuinely contested): found dead 17 Jan 1996, Wilsonville OR, ruled suicide by strangulation; ex-wife Cynthia Drayer and supporters cite missing-finger dexterity, no fingerprints on the ligature, and his repeated prediction he'd be murdered - circumstances disputed, ET-firefight cause unproven.
