Dulce Base

Joint human–non-human intelligent being underground facility in New Mexico

Dulce Base is an alleged joint human–non-human deep underground military base reportedly located beneath Archuleta Mesa, near Dulce, New Mexico, on the Jicarilla Apache Nation reservation. The facility was reportedly active during the 1970s and 1980s, a period that encompasses both its alleged construction and early operational phases, although it is suspected to have been mothballed since then. Beginning in 1979–80 with Albuquerque electronics specialist Paul Bennewitz's investigation of UFO activity around Archuleta Mesa — and amplified after construction geologist Phil Schneider's public disclosures of a 1979 firefight between military personnel and Grey entities — the facility has become a central subject of UFO and exopolitics literature. Thomas Castello described the facility as having seven distinct operational levels, with upper levels housing human administration and lower levels housing the genetic laboratories, abductee storage, and cryogenic facilities at the heart of the human-rights-abuse allegations.

Skepticism of the Dulce account centers on its documentary trail rather than the underground geology. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations ran a disinformation campaign against Bennewitz beginning in 1980, and most UFO researchers concluded that his intercepts had been seeded with fabricated material; writer Thomas Allen LeVesque (pen name "Jason Bishop III") later admitted fabricating stories about the base. Political scientist Michael Barkun placed the claims of abductee experiments and alien–Delta Force firefights "well outside even the most far-fetched reports of secret underground bases." In the exopolitics reading advanced by Michael Salla, that same disinformation is taken as the expected containment of a genuine site — directed at Bennewitz precisely because his intercepts were real — rather than as evidence the base was invented.

Construction and pre-existing structures

The facility was allegedly built in extension to pre-existing Agarthan subterranean structures, with the reported cooperation of a Telosii faction and Terran governments, using extraterrestrial technology. The subterranean structures reportedly extend approximately 90 to 100 miles to the southeast and are purportedly linked by tunnel to Area 51, as well as Colorado and Texas bases. Thomas Castello described the inter-base linkage as a high-speed Maglev train system, while Elena Danaan characterizes the trains as antigravity-driven and capable of speeds up to 1,200 km/h. According to Phil Schneider, he personally participated in boring the facility's tunnels; the base was reportedly built above a pre-existing extraterrestrial tunnel system.

The facility is part of a broader network of underground installations across New Mexico — White Sands–Alamogordo (radiation and mind-control research), Datil and Pie Town, Carlsbad Caverns, Los Alamos (interspecies genetic experiments and soul scalping), and bases in the Kirtland, Manzano, and Sandia Mountains areas — all constructed by the Draco reptilians–Orion–Altair alliance in extension to pre-existing Agarthan structures.

Layout and levels

The facility's internal layout — including level-by-level operations — is described in the Dulce Papers, a set of 30 photographs, video footage, and documents attributed to alleged security officer Thomas Edwin Castello, reportedly released to UFO researchers in 1987. Castello, who reportedly served at the base from 1977 to 1979 as a photo security specialist with monitoring access across the underground complex, described seven distinct operational levels. Elena Danaan, by contrast, reports a twelve-level structure, with the upper three levels devoted to Terran offices and labs, vehicle parking for human and extraterrestrial craft, and technical maintenance.[citation needed]

Security disputes between human workers and the Reptilian "working caste" were reportedly mediated by Castello — human personnel would wander near "OFF LIMITS" areas of the alien section, and the white Draco "boss" would call him in to intervene.

According to Elena Danaan, the upper three levels house Terran offices and labs, vehicle parking for both human and extraterrestrial craft, and technical maintenance.[citation needed] The fourth level is reportedly dedicated to soul experimentation, dream manipulation, hypnosis, and telepathy, as well as all aspects of mind-control planning.[citation needed] The fifth level allegedly houses abducted humans stored for consumption; reportedly, vast tanks containing preserved human body parts suspended in a bio-support gel and constantly stirred by robotic arms, alongside thousands of cages piled in rows containing captive humans of all ages awaiting processing. The sixth level — known internally as "the Nightmare Room" or "Nightmare Hall" — houses genetic laboratories for human-animal crossbreeding experiments;[citation needed] Castello described encountering multi-legged humans, reptilian-human hybrids, and feline-looking creatures in this area. The seventh level contains cryogenic storage of thousands of human adults and children. The Dulce Papers describe large vats containing biological material in a grey liquid, with human and humanoid embryos in various stages of development held at level 7.

Species present

Human personnel reportedly occupy the upper levels while non-human species allegedly control access to the lower levels.[citation needed] According to Danaan, the facility serves as a residence for the Draco reptilians command, with Nagai officers, a Do-Hu work force, and an outpost for the Orion Alliance involving principally Maytrei and Kiily-Tokurit, alongside whatever human, hybrid, or controlled assets fall under their direction; all collaborate with the CIA in the lower levels. The Reptilian working caste carries out operations in the deepest levels, including direct abuse of abducted humans. Grey entities — large and small varieties — are also present, with large Greys encountered in the pre-existing tunnel network below the human-constructed levels. Reptilian entities occupy dedicated sections of the lower levels, particularly in areas associated with the genetic laboratory and biological storage. Nordic-type beings also operate in the lower levels, largely segregated from the human personnel above.[citation needed]

Biological operations

Linda Moulton Howe documented extensive cattle mutilation activity in the surrounding Dulce area, reportedly associated with biological sampling operations run from the base.[citation needed] Researcher Bill Hamilton described the base complex as the site of genetic experiments involving the production of hybrid beings combining human and animal characteristics, with Reptilian entities operating in the lower levels alongside Grey entities. The facility was also reportedly used for cloning and soul-harvesting operations; Mark Domizio described being transported to Dulce from Diego Garcia for the creation of alter-ego clones, with the facility's archived biological material enabling production of multiple clones from a single stored sample. Alex Collier independently described biological operations at the facility based on information from his Andromedan contacts. Dulce was among several classified facilities Dan Burisch visited during Majestic 12 operations.

The 1979 incident

1979 Dulce Base battle

In 1979, a drilling team expanding the facility's lower levels accidentally breached a pre-existing alien cavern system, triggering a violent confrontation between U.S. military personnel and Grey entities that killed approximately sixty Americans. Construction geologist Phil Schneider, who was present and survived with severe injuries, publicly disclosed the incident during a lecture circuit from 1993 to 1995; he was found dead in January 1996 under disputed circumstances.

Eisenhower-era military action

Laura Eisenhower claims that Dwight D. Eisenhower launched a failed military action against Dulce Base in 1954, the same year he signed treaties with the Greys (see Greada Treaty), describing it as a joint Grey–Draco Reptilian operation including human genetic experimentation.

Public emergence

Starting in 1979, Albuquerque electronics specialist Paul Bennewitz began filming, photographing, and electronically intercepting what appeared to be extensive UFO/ET activity and communications traced to the vicinity of Archuleta Mesa. In 1980, the Air Force Office of Special Intelligence (AFOSI) began investigating Bennewitz's evidence, which eventually led to a disinformation campaign to discredit him; most UFO researchers subsequently concluded that Bennewitz had been "too influenced by disinformation to be taken seriously." Bennewitz's investigation was reportedly prompted in part by 1979 field trips with New Mexico State Police trooper Gabe Valdez to investigate cattle mutilations, which they concluded "were not caused by anything natural"; Bennewitz then began intercepting radio and video transmissions he believed were associated with extraterrestrial craft, tracing them to a base under Archuleta Mesa. Author Greg Valdez, son of Trooper Gabriel Valdez, believed Dulce was an off-site lab where cattle and other biologics could be taken for marking, study and whatever else they intended as part of their efforts.[citation needed] By the early 1980s he believed he had discovered a secret underground base near Dulce populated by Grey aliens and humans, and by 1983 his claims appeared in the popular press. Bennewitz's stories bore strong resemblance to the Shaver Mystery: in the mid-1940s, welder Richard Shaver had written letters to science-fiction editor Raymond A. Palmer about malevolent subterranean beings ("deros") who pilot disc-shaped spaceships, and Palmer biographer Fred Nadis "specifically highlights the tales of the supposed underground base near Dulce, New Mexico, as a prominent inheritor of the Shaver/Palmer tradition, characterizing Paul Bennewitz's stories of alien experimentation as 'a dero scene right out of a Shaver story.'"

Investigators believed this could be an entrance to the Dulce base. Investigators also believe this to be a trap and skeet range.

In 1986, George Clinton Andrews discussed the Dulce facility in his book Extra-Terrestrials Among Us. By 1987, UFOlogist John Lear claimed he had independent confirmations of the base's existence. Lear's statement influenced Thomas Allen LeVesque, pen name "Jason Bishop III," who later admitted to fabricating stories about Dulce Base.

In 1988, the tabloid Weekly World News published a story entitled "UFO base found in New Mexico" which claimed that "diabolical invaders from another solar system have set up a secret underground base in the rugged mountains of northern New Mexico — so they can shanghai human guinea pigs for bizarre genetic experiments". The story used supposed quotes from UFOlogist Leonard H. Stringfield as a source; upon learning of the story, Stringfield protested, "I never read such a distortion of facts in my life".

Political scientist Michael Barkun noted that Cold War underground missile installations in the area gave superficial plausibility to the Dulce story, making it an "attractive legend" within ufology. Barkun observed that claims about experiments on abductees and firefights between aliens and the Delta Force placed the account "well outside even the most far-fetched reports of secret underground bases."

The guardtowers at Redding War Ranch by Mt. Archuletta — the believed site of Dulce Base

In 1980, abductee Myrna Hansen, under hypnotic regression conducted by Dr. Leo Sprinkle of the University of Wyoming, described being taken with her son to an underground facility where she saw humans in cold storage and large vats filled with the remains of cattle and human body parts. Researcher Paul Bennewitz connected Hansen's underground facility account to his concurrent investigation of UFO activity around the Dulce area, claiming that Hansen had witnessed conditions at the alleged Dulce Base. Remote viewer John Vivanco, using a "triangulation method" across multiple blind sessions, independently identified Thomas Edwin Castello, Phil Schneider, and a witness named Christie Tyndall as corroborating sources on abuses at the facility.

Residents of Dulce have reported seeing UFOs, strange moving lights, and other unexplained phenomena in the area. While investigating cattle mutilations in the greater Dulce area, New Mexico State Police trooper Gabe Valdez and researcher Paul Bennewitz took a team of NIDS researchers into the mountains. Although NIDS claimed to have investigated the mysterious Redding War Ranch to satisfaction, researchers have never been able to establish ownership beyond front companies and individuals with suspicious connections. Investigators reported seeing a circular hangar-type opening (pictured) and an adjacent airstrip. The entire property is now sovereign Jicarilla Apache land. Jicarilla Apache Legislative Council president Ty Vicenti embraced the notion of a Dulce Base, partly to stimulate tourism, and in 2016 the town hosted the Dulce Base UFO Conference at the local casino hotel.
