Phil Schneider, a controversial figure in conspiracy circles, died under mysterious circumstances in 1996. He was known for his claims about deep underground military bases and alien encounters.
Schneider, an explosive engineer who claimed to have had a high-level security clearance, gained notoriety in the mid-1990s for his lectures and public talks where he discussed his alleged experiences with extraterrestrial beings and secret government operations. According to Schneider, he survived a violent confrontation between humans and aliens at the Dulce underground base in New Mexico.
On January 17, 1996, Schneider was found dead in his apartment. The official cause of death was ruled as suicide by strangulation; however, many conspiracy theorists argue that the circumstances surrounding his death were suspicious, suggesting that he might have been murdered to silence him due to the sensitive information he was revealing about government secrets and alien interactions.
