Philip Schneider (April 23, 1947 - January 17, 1996) was a geologist and structural engineer, who became known in the early 90's for giving lectures about his alleged work inside top secret facilities being built by the United States government. He claimed to have been working especially with the construction of military underground bases, using technologies which he claimed were deliberately being held back from the public, along with other classified technologies including alien spacecraft technology.

Background

Philip's parents were Oscar and Sally Schneider. Oscar Schneider worked in nuclear medicine and helped design the first nuclear submarines. He also had collected artifacts which were passed onto his son. Captain Schneider was part of Operation Crossroads, which was responsible for the testing of nuclear weapons in the Pacific AT Bikini Island. He was also allegedly involved in the Philadelphia Experiment, with photographic proof.^{[citation needed]}

The lectures

Two years prior to his death, Schneider resigned from his military employment, and went on a continuous lecturing tour talking about government cover-ups, black budgets, and UFOs. He claimed that as much as 25% of the national gross product is being used in "black budgets", figures that are not shown in official statistics, this money financing the classified projects mentioned. ^[1] He also claimed he had been involved in a firefight with aliens at the Dulce Base^[2], that the United States government has made treaties with multiple extraterrestrial forces and that such treaties essentially allow alien technology to be transferred to government agencies while in exchange extraterrestrial forces would be allowed to abduct a select number of humans for experimentation. Schneider believed that a significant number of individuals inside the United States go missing every year as a result.^[3]

On 1/17/1996, he was found dead in his home - from what looked like a suicide. The later autopsy would determine the cause of death to be suffocation by the wrapping of a rubber hose round Schneider's neck - believed to be self inflicted.

Schneider's wife, Cynthia A. Drayer, was not allowed to see his body at the morgue, due to "decomposition." She claims that the body that was autopsied was not that of Schneiders. According to the coroner's report, the body contained all ten fingers, and did not bear scars of the operations he had on his penis due to an penile infection he had years before his death. Schneider was missing fingers on his left hand due to (according to Al Bielek) injuries received from the Dulce firefight. Because of this, it would have been impossible for him to tie a rubber hose around his neck entirely by himself. It is believed by his wife and family that Schneider's body was switched with another body at the morgue. So that the medical examiner would not discover any physical evidence of foul play by examining markings and other physical abnormalities on, and in his body that would prove that he was murdered. Schneider was given a closed-casket burial.

Schneider's ex-wife, Cynthia Drayer believes that Philip was murdered because he publicly revealed the truth about the U.S. government's involvement in sinister activities. He had, at his lectures as well as in private, told that he had received several threats and attempts on his life - black cars without registered plates trying to push him off the road, getting threatening phonecalls concerning his lectures.
