Dulce Underground Base, New Mexico
From a report by Dr Michael Salla, exopolitics.org
Overview
Dr Paul Bennewitz is an electronics specialist who in
the late 1979 began to film, photograph, and electronically intercept what
appeared to be extensive UFO/ET activity and communications that he traced
to the vicinity of the Archuletta Mesa on Jicarilla Apache Reservation land
near the town of Dulce. Based on the collected evidence Bennewitz concluded
that an underground extraterrestrial (ET) base existed near Dulce that played
a role in both cattle mutilations and abduction of civilians. In 1980, the
Air Force Office of Special Intelligence (AFOSI) began investigating Bennewitz's
evidence, and this eventually led to its disinformation campaign to discredit
Bennewitz. Bennewitz's subsequent electronic evidence and field research
alleging extensive human rights abuses were occurring at the Dulce underground
base became associated with the AFOSI disinformation campaign. Most UFO
researchers concluded that Bennewitz had been too influenced by disinformation
to be taken seriously
The strongest support for Bennewitz's claims are a number
of individuals claiming to be 'whistleblowers' who in their capacity as
former employees of corporations performing a variety military contracts
worked at or learned of the Dulce base, and subsequently revealed aspects
of what had occurred there. A recurring feature of these whistleblower statements
is testimony of a violent conflict in 1979 between US military personnel
and ETs at the base that led to a significant number of military fatalities.
This seemed to confirm Bennewitz's claim of such a military conflict, and
raises the possibility that the conflict's cause was related to his allegations
of human rights abuses. Furthermore, Bennewitz's evidence provided an example
of how money illegally siphoned from the US economy into 'black budget'
programs related to an ET presence, estimated to be as high as 1.1 trillion
dollars annually, was being used.
One individual who apparently risked
disclosing egregious human rights violations while working on a highly classified
project is Thomas Castello.
Thomas Castello & the
Dulce Papers
In 1987 an apparent whistleblower organized the release
of 30 photos, video and a set of papers to UFO researchers that were apparently
physical evidence of a joint US government/extraterrestrial base two miles
beneath the Archuletta Mesa, near the town of Dulce, New Mexico. The collection
came to be called the 'Dulce Papers' and provided graphic evidence of the
operations of this secret underground facility and appeared to provide powerful
support to Bennewitz's conclusions regarding activities at the underground
base. [21] The Dulce Papers described genetic experimentation, development
of human-extraterrestrial hybrids, use of mind control through advanced
computers, cold storage of humans in liquid filled vats, and even the use
of human body parts as a nutritional source for extraterrestrial (ET) races.
The papers provided possible evidence that humans were used as little more
than laboratory animals by ET races working directly with different US government
agencies and US corporations fulfilling 'black budget' military contracts
in a joint base. If the papers were genuine, experiments and projects
were being conducted that involved human rights violations on a scale that
exceeded even the darkest chapters of recent human history.
The individual responsible for assembling and releasing
the Dulce Papers, Thomas Castello, claimed to have worked as a senior security
officer at the base before 'quitting' the Dulce facility after a military
confrontation that occurred in 1979 between elite US military personnel,
base security guards, and resident extraterrestrials. The military confrontation
he described has been dubbed the 'Dulce Wars' and a number of other 'whistleblowers'
and UFO researchers have subsequently described similar incidents at Dulce
or nearby that substantiate many of Castello's claims. [22] In the time
since he claims he left his Dulce employers in 1979, and subsequent release
of the Dulce Papers in 1986, Castello gave a number of interviews and corresponded
with UFO researchers before eventually vanishing from the scene. The transcripts
of these interviews and correspondence provide further 'whistleblower' testimony
of events at the purported Dulce facility, and the secret 'war' that occurred
there.
Thomas Castello claims to have served in the US Air
force and specialized in military photography and video monitoring. He further
claims to have served on a highly classified underground base near the Northern
New Mexico town of Dulce. His background has been summarized as follows:
In 1961, Castello was a young sergeant stationed at
Nellis Air Force Base near Las Vegas, Nevada. His job was as a military
photographer with a top secret clearance. He later transferred to West Virginia
where he trained in advanced intelligence photography. He worked inside
an undisclosed underground installation, and due to the nature of his new
assignment his clearance was upgraded to TS-IV. He remained with the Air
Force as a photographer until 1971 at which time he was offered a job with
RAND corporation as a Security Technician, and so he moved to California
where RAND had a major facility and his security clearance was upgraded
to ULTRA-3. In 1977 Thomas was transferred to Santa Fe, New Mexico where
his pay was raised significantly and his security clearance was again upgraded...
this time to ULTRA-7. His new job was as a photo security specialist in
the Dulce installation, where his job specification was to maintain, align
and calibrate video monitoring cameras throughout the underground complex
and to escort visitors to their destinations. [23]
It is the extensive video monitoring that occurred at
Dulce that apparently provided Castello the bird's eye information he needed
to learn what was occurring at the base, and the human rights abuses that
eventually led to his departure from the base and distribution of classified
material. Castello's claims are outlined in two sources, first are the Dulce
papers themselves that presumably involved classified material taken from
the base; and second, the interviews/correspondence Castello had with a
number of UFO researchers. Much of Castello's material has since been circulated
on the Internet and has been incorporated in a book titled The Dulce Wars
that was authored by a UFO researcher who uses the name 'Branton'. [24]
Officially confirming Castello's employment, military
and educational background and therefore his status as a whistleblower has
not been possible. This is possibly due to a practice that has been claimed
to be standard for civilians who work under contract to corporations and/or
military/intelligence agencies on classified projects involving ETs: the
official removal of all public records of contracted employees as a security
precaution in the event they intentionally or unintentionally publicly disclose
what is occurring in such projects. For example,
claims to have been a former scientist and policy maker
on ET affairs that began to serve from 1979 on the coordinating policy group
for ET affairs, the Special Studies Group (PI-40) in the National Security
Council. [25] In a series of interviews with the prominent UFO researcher,
Dr Richard Boylan, Wolf claimed that he was being
directed by his superiors to participate in a controlled leak of information
to the UFO community while providing a fall back of 'plausible deniability'
for the government. [26] All public records of Wolf's advanced university
degrees and contractual services to different military/intelligence/national
security branches of government were eliminated making it very difficult
if not impossible to confirm his background and substantiate the startling
information he was releasing. He claimed that this removal of public records
was 'standard practice' for all civilians employed by either corporations
and/or the US military in clandestine projects involving ETs. [27] A further
source confirming Wolf's description of the existence of such a 'standard
practice' was
a physicist who found
that after leaving in 1988 the secret S-4 facility (Dreamland) in Nevada
where his job was to reverse engineer the propulsion and power system of
recovered ET craft, his birth certificate was no longer available at the
hospital he was born at, along with the disappearance of his school, college
and all employment records he simply ceased to officially exist! [28]
It can now be suggested that a standard practice exists
for civilians contracted to corporations and/or military/intelligence agencies
whereby their employment and public records are removed as a security precaution
against either public disclosure of ET related information as in the case
of Bob Lazar, or to maintain a highly controlled leak of information as
in the case of Dr Wolf. This means that confirming Castello's employment
background and therefore his credibility, as a whistleblower is very difficult
if possible at all. There are three possibilities for Castello's true identity
and credibility as a whistleblower. The first is that he is who he claims
to be, a whistleblower who worked at the base. The second is that he is
using the name and identity of 'Thomas Castello' as a cover in order to
reveal information on Dulce. In this case, he may be an 'insider' leaking
information on abuses at the base who wishes to remain an anonymous whistleblower.
The third, possibility is that Castello is a bogus identity created by an
intelligence officer to disseminate disinformation that steers UFO researchers
and the general public away from genuine military related projects in the
area. A number of UFO researchers were apparently able to get in contact
with Castello before his eventual 'disappearance' in the late 1980s and
were able to get answers to a series of questions. [29] According to both
Branton and William Hamilton, fellow UFO researchers had personally met
with Castello and could vouch for his existence and credibility. [30] While
the list of contacts and personal interviews with Castello are not extensive,
it does appear that he exists while casting doubt on, without eliminating,
the third possibility that his identity was concocted by intelligence officers.
It is this uncertainty that led to most UFO researchers not taking seriously
Castello's claims that supported much of what Bennewitz had been earlier
arguing and was now associated with a disinformation campaign led by Air
Force Intelligence (AFOSI). In a later section, other whistleblowers will
be cited who confirm many aspects of both Bennewitz's and Castello's claims
indicating that the third possibility can be dismissed as the least likely
possibility concerning Castello's identity. Consequently, it is worth exploring
in some depth what Castello claimed to have experienced in the Ducle underground
base since he provides the most extensive testimony of what may have occurred
there.
In the Dulce papers and his personal testimonies Castello
claims the existence of a seven level underground facility that jointly
houses humans and different extraterrestrial races in Dulce, New Mexico.
Castello claims that the humans employed at the base comprised scientists,
security personnel, and employees from various corporations who were servicing
military contracts. [31] There were four extraterrestrial races he claimed
worked at Dulce: the standard 'short' Grays' from Zeta Reticulum (approx
4ft in height); tall Grays from Rigel, Orion (7 ft); and Reptilian species
either native to Earth or from the Draco star system in Orion (ranging from
6-8 ft). Castello claims that the earth based Reptilians, who he described
as the 'working caste', were led by a winged Reptilian species he described
as the Draco (ETs from Orion). [32] He said that the short grays (depicted
in movies such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind) are subservient to
the Draco Reptilians. Castello says he was employed as a 'Senior Security
Technician' at the Dulce facility and that his primary job function was
to sort out any security issues between the resident ET races and the human
employees at the base. He described some of his job functions and the ET
hierarchy in response to a question by Branton about how often he communicated
with the different ET species:
Since I was the Senior Security Technician at that base,
I had to communicate with them on a daily basis. If there were any problems
that involved security or video cameras, I was the one they called. It was
the reptilian "working caste" that usually did the physical labor
in the lower levels at Dulce. Decisions involving that caste were usually
made by the white Draco. When human workers caused problems for the working
caste, the reptoids went to the white Draconian 'boss', and the Draco called
me. At times, it felt like it was a never ending problem. Several human
workers resented the "no nonsense" or "get back to work"
attitude the working caste lives by. When needed, intervention became a
vital tool. The biggest problem were human workers who foolishly wandered
around near the "OFF LIMITS" areas of the "Alien Section."
I guess it's human nature to be curious and to wonder what is past the barriers.
Too often someone found a way to bypass the barriers and nosed around. The
camera's near the entrance usually stopped them before they got themselves
in serious trouble. A few times I had to formerly request the return of
a human worker. [33]
Castello claimed that the different projects at Dulce
involved reverse engineering of ET technology, development of mind control
methods; and genetic experiments involving cloning and creating human-ET
hybrids. Similar projects have been conducted at Montauk, Long Island and
Brookhaven laboratories [34] and been the subject of a number of other whistleblower
testimonies. [35]
These projects were scattered
among the seven levels of the Dulce underground base with the ETs occupying
the deepest levels, five to seven.
These lower levels were described by Castello
as an extremely old series of natural caverns that had been used in the
past by different ET races. In response to a question concerning the Caverns
origin, he stated:
Nature started the caverns. The Draco [reptilian humanoids]
used the caverns and tunnels for centuries. Later, through RAND Corporation
plans, it was enlarged repeatedly. The original caverns included ice caves
and sulfur springs that the 'aliens' found perfect for their needs. [36]
In describing the way command was shared at the joint
base between the US government and the ET races, Castello said:
The worker caste [Reptilian] does the daily chores,
mopping the latex floors, cleaning the cages, bringing food to the hungry
people and other species. It is their job to formulate the proper mixture
for the type one and type two beings that the Draco Race has created. The
working caste work at the labs as well as at the computer banks. Basically
speaking, the reptilian races are active at all levels of the Dulce Base.
There are several different 'races' of aliens that work on the east section
of level six. That section is commonly called "the alien section."
The Draco are the undisputed masters of the 5-6-7 levels. The humans are
second in command of those levels. [37]
Castello says that he directly witnessed the products
of the trans-species genetic experiments in the sixth level of the facility.
Most disturbing was his discovery that humans were used as a kind of laboratory
animal in the lowest level where they were placed in cold storage, used
as test subjects in mind-control programs, and even used in genetic experiments.
Castello wrote: "Level #7 is worse,
row after row of thousands of humans and human mixtures in cold storage.
Here too are embryo storage vats of Humanoids in various stages of development.
'I frequently encountered humans in cages, usually dazed or drugged, but
sometimes they cried and begged for help.'" [38]
Castello claims he was told in his initial briefing
that the humans suffered different forms of insanity and were being subjected
to a range of high-risk medical procedures and mind control experiments
designed to treat insanity. He claims that he and other human workers were
exposed daily to signs that said: "this site does high risk advanced
medical and drug testing to cure insanity, please, never speak to the inmates,
it can destroy years of work." [39]
Castello argues that he performed his duties without
any great problem until he began to suspect that rather than being insane,
the humans were normal civilians who were simply abducted to be used as
laboratory animals by the Grey and Reptilian ET races:
I'm sensible, when doctors say don't speak to them,
who was I to destroy the delicate situation? But one man some how caught my eye. He repeatedly stated that he
was George S---- and that he had been kidnapped and he was sure someone
was searching for him. I don't know why he sticks in my mind, I found I
was remembering his face, thinking he sure didn't look or sound insane,
but many inmates said that. The next weekend I convinced a friend of mine,
a cop, to run a check on the guy, saying I had a run in with him and was
curious. I didn't mention the base at all. It was a sickening feeling when
the computer confirmed that George S. was missing. [40]
It was the realisation that the humans
were ordinary civilians abducted from that led to Castello's decision to
join a small number of other base personnel in helping free the trapped
humans.
It was another security officer that
came to me saying he and some lab workers wanted an off duty meeting at
one of the tunnels [off the record]. Curiosity took over and I said OK.
That night, about nine men showed up. They said they knew they were risking
me turning them in but they wanted to show me some things they thought I
should see. One by one they showed records that proved many inmates were
missing people. There were newspaper clippings, and even photos that they
had some how smuggled into the base. They hoped to smuggle them back out,
without me turning them in to the honchos. I could see the fear in their
faces as they spoke. One man stated
he would rather lose his life by trying, than to lose his soul by not doing
anything at all. It was that remark that turned the tide. I told them about George and the things I found out about him.
After a few hours we pledged to attempt to expose the Dulce Base. [41]
Castello describes how the small band
of human workers began to cooperate with some Reptilians from the worker
caste who also had an interest in freeing the abducted humans in the deep
levels. Eventually, Castello described how the an elite Delta force contingent
attempted to destroy the 'resistance movement':
Ultimately, it ended when a military
assault was initiated via the exit tunnels and they executed anybody on
their list, human or reptilian. We fought back, but none of the working
caste had weapons, nor did the human lab workers. Only the security force
and a few computer workers had flash guns. It was a massacre. Every one
was screaming and running for cover. The halls and tunnels were filled as
full as possible. We believe it was the Delta Force [because of the uniforms
and the method they used] that chose to hit at shift change, an effort that
killed as many as named on their list. [42]
Castello quit the facility, he took along with him photos
and a video recording eventually distributed to the general public as the
Dulce Papers.
Due to the importance of Castello's claims and the evidence
he provided that appears to support much of what Bennewitz had concluded
from his extensive electronic monitoring and field research, it is necessary
to analyze any further whistleblower testimonies that independently substantiate
the Dulce underground base hypothesis.
Was a Treaty Signed Between
US Government Representatives and ET races?
The first claim that needs analysis is Bennewitz's and
Castello's contention that a joint government-ET bases exist in the first
place. This would imply some sort of formal treaty or agreement between
US government representatives and ET races. There is significant whistleblower
testimony that a treaty was signed between the Eisenhower administration
and Grays from Zeta Reticulum as early as 1954. According to Dr Wolf the
Eisenhower administration entered into the treaty with the so-called Grey
extraterrestrials from the fourth planet of the star system Zeta Reticulum,
but this treaty was never ratified as Constitutionally required. [43] Alluding
to the same treaty signed by the Eisenhower administration,
a highly decorated officer that served in Eisenhower's
National Security Council wrote: "We had negotiated a kind of surrender
with them [ETs] as long as we couldn't fight them. They dictated the terms
because they knew what we most feared was disclosure." [44]
The secret Treaty signed in 1954 between the
administration and an ET race has been disclosed by a number of other 'whistleblowers'
claiming former access to secret documents disclosing the existence of such
a treaty. [45]
a former geological
engineer that was employed by corporations contracted to build underground
bases wrote:
Back in 1954, under the Eisenhower administration, the
federal government decided to circumvent the Constitution of the United
States and form a treaty with alien entities. It was called the 1954 Grenada
Treaty, which basically made the agreement that the aliens involved could
take a few cows and test their implanting techniques on a few human beings,
but that they had to give details about the people involved. Slowly, the
aliens altered the bargain until they decided they wouldn't abide by it
at all. [46]
The treaty has been argued to essentially lead to technology
transfers between ET races and the US government in exchange for certain
basing rights, and monitoring of ET abductions of US civilians. Col Phillip
Corso believed that this treaty was essentially something that was imposed
on the Eisenhower administration suggesting that the technology transfer
would be exchange for the ET harvesting the diverse genetic material available
in the US. This genetic diversity was something that made the US a much
more attractive treaty signatory than the more racially homogenous major
powers of Russia and China. It is likely that the administration reasoned
that since the Grays had been abducting US civilians anyway, that the Treaty
would provide them with a means of monitoring the abductions, and observing
at close range what happened with the civilians who were part of the genetic
experiments pursued by the Grays. The Grays were obliged to provide lists
of abducted civilians, something that apparently did not occur and later
became a source of friction between the Grays and US authorities.
The treaty with the Grays from Zeta Reticulum presumably
led to the creation of secret joint bases whose functions most likely included:
technology exchange; mind control experiments; monitoring genetic experiments
of Grays; and collusion in the abduction of civilians for the various projects
at these shared bases. The existence of both the Treaty and the joint base(s)
with the Grays would have received the highest possible classification levels
and would only have been known by a limited number of elected and appointed
public officials. Consequently, whistleblower testimony supporting the existence
of a secret treaty negotiated by the Eisenhower administration for technology
transfers with an ET race suggest the possible construction of underground
facilities where this could be done without public, congressional or foreign
national scrutiny. Having laid the possible 'legal' foundation for a joint
US government-ET underground facility, I now move to analyzing evidence
supporting the existence of such a base.
Based on evidence presented so far it may be concluded
that three possibilities stand out as the most likely explanations for what
was occurring at Dulce. First, a top secret joint ET-human facility exists
at Dulce that is (or was) conducting projects that involve(d) the abduction
of human subjects whose rights are (were) severely violated. Second, the
Dulce base exists (or existed) but reports of horrific ET abuses of humans
were part of a disinformation campaign designed to discredit Paul Bennewitz
and any legitimate research into the ET activities and secret government
projects being conducted at Dulce. A third possibility is that all the stories
about Dulce are disinformation designed to deliberately steer serious investigation
away from UFO's and to divide the UFO community. [47] Keeping these
three possibilities in mind, I now examine whistleblower testimonies concerning
an apparent military conflict that occurred at the Dulce base in order to
determine which of these three possibilities is more accurate.
The Dulce War
The whistleblower testimonies supporting the existence
of the Dulce base suggest that such a secret facility is indeed conducting
a range of projects that focus on technology exchange, mind control, genetic
experiments, and human rights abuse of abducted civilians. It is likely
that one or more of these projects became an area of dispute between ET
races and clandestine government organizations. This dispute led to military
hostilities that became known as the 'Dulce War'. The precise cause of this
confrontation remains unclear, however what does emerge from the various
testimonies is that it did occur and involved significant number of fatalities
involving US military personnel, Dulce security guards, and ET races.
According to Castello, the Dulce military conflict began
as a result of the growth of a resistance movement between both security
guards and sympathetic ETs that desired to help imprisoned humans in the
ET sections of the base. Eventually 100 elite Delta force military personnel
were sent to eradicate the resistance movement that began to threaten established
security procedures at the joint base. This force suffered a number of fatalities
and inflicted heavy casualties upon both resident ETs and base security
personnel. The military confrontation at Dulce has been reported by other
whistleblowers including
in the construction of the Dulce base, another
underground base in the US, and other underground bases around the globe.
Schneider gave the following details of his background and the existence
of a military confrontation in 1995:
To give you an overview of basically what I am, I started
off and went through engineering school. Half of my school was in that field,
and I built up a reputation for being a geological engineer, as well as
a structural engineer with both military and aerospace applications. I have
helped build two main bases in the United States that have some significance
as far as what is called the New World Order [a UN run world secretly controlled
by 'tall Gray' ETs]. The first base is the one at Dulce, New Mexico. I was
involved in 1979 in a firefight with alien humanoids, and I was one of the
survivors. I'm probably the only talking survivor you will ever hear. Two
other survivors are under close guard. I am the only one left that knows
the detailed files of the entire operation. Sixty-six secret service agents,
FBI, Black Berets and the like, died in that firefight. I was there. [48]
Schneider described the cause of the 1979 military confrontation
as little more than an 'accident' that arose from drilling for a planned
extension of the Dulce base:
I was involved in building an ADDITION to the deep underground
military base at Dulce, which is probably the deepest base. It goes down
seven levels and over 2.5 miles deep. At that particular time, we had drilled
four distinct holes in the desert, and we were going to link them together
and blow out large sections at a time. My job was to go down the holes and
check the rock samples, and recommend the explosive to deal with the particular
rock. As I was headed down there, we found ourselves amidst a large cavern
that was full of outer-space aliens, otherwise known as large Grays. I shot
two of them. At that time, there were 30 people down there. About 40 more
came down after this started, and all of them got killed. We had surprised
a whole underground base of existing aliens. Later, we found out that they
had been living on [in] our planet for a long time... This could explain
a lot of what is behind the theory of ancient astronauts. [49]
An important difference between Schneider's and Castello's
versions is that Schneider did not refer to the underground base as a joint
facility. He described it as a seven level US military facility that had
'accidentally' been built on top of an ancient ET base. He believed that
his job was to simply extend the existing base rather than attacking ET
races for an undisclosed purpose. The unlikelihood that the Dulce facility
was 'accidentally' built on an ancient ET base suggests that Schneider was
only partly informed of the true nature of his mission and what was occurring
on the lower levels. The more likely scenario was that Schneider had to
assist US military forces to access the innermost layers of the Dulce facility,
level 7, that had been closed off and where the true cause of the dispute
lay.
Sometime in 1993 Schneider quit working for his various
corporate clients that serviced military contracts after becoming convinced
of a plot by the tall Gray ETs to develop a New World Order dominated by
the United Nations that they would be secretly controlling. He subsequently
began a series of public lectures revealing the activities at the underground
bases he helped construct and the role of extraterrestrial races in infiltrating
national governments and being the true architects of a New World Order.
Schneider gave a keynote lecture at a MUFON conference in May 1995, and
was found dead in his apartment seven months later in January 1996. [50]
Circumstances surrounding the death of Schneider and his autopsy report
led many to declare that Schneider had been murdered for going public with
his knowledge of ETs and the secret underground base. [51] Schneider's testimony,
his clear knowledge of geological engineering, and mysterious death all
support his central thesis that an underground base exists at Dulce, and
a military confrontation between ETs and elite US military forces occurred
at the lowest level of this underground facility.
Another 'whistleblower' that lends credence to the possibility
that a firefight had occurred between US military forces and ETs in a secret
underground base was Dr Michael Wolf. Wolf's book Catcher's of Heaven described
a firefight between ETs and elite US military forces that had occurred in
1975 at the Groom Lake, Nevada facility that may have been related to what
occurred later at the nearby Dulce:
The Greys shared certain of their technological advances
with military/intelligence scientists, apparently often while prisoner "guests"
within secure underground military installations in Nevada and New Mexico.
The extraterrestrials have given the U.S. government some of their antigravity
craft and a huge amount of fuel (element 115). On May 1, 1975 during one
such technology exchange in Nevada, a demonstration of a small ET antimatter
reactor, the lead Grey asked the Colonel in charge of the Delta Forces guarding
the ETs to remove all their rifles and bullets from the room, (so that they
would not accidentally discharge during the energy emissions.) The guards
refused, and in the ensuing commotion a guard opened fire on the Greys.
One alien, two scientists and 41 military personnel were killed. One guard
was left alive to attest that the ETs apparently used directed mental energy
in self-defense to kill the other attacking Delta Forces.
There are important parallels with the 'Dulce war' in
the description of the 'Nevada' confrontation described by Wolf, with that
described by Castello and Schneider. In both cases, a significant number
of US military personnel are killed after a confrontation with ETs. These
parallels suggest either that Wolf was narrating an entirely different conflict,
or the same conflict but with some inaccuracies intended to hide the true
nature and location of the conflict between the US military and ET races.
Some notable differences in the accounts are that Wolfe said that the ETs
were 'prisoner' guests rather than sharing joint base facilities with the
US. It is unlikely that ETs as 'prisoner guests' would participate in the
kind of significant technology exchange described by Wolf. It is likely
that Wolf's reference to the ETs as 'prisoner guests' was intended to hide
the true extent of the cooperation between US military and ET races in a
shared base that might lead to a connection being made with Bennewitz claims
regarding Dulce. This also casts doubt on whether the conflict did
occur in Nevada in 1975 as Wolf writes, or whether he was alluding to the
1979 military conflict at Dulce, New Mexico. If the latter is the case,
then Wolf was instructed by his superiors in the 'controlled release of
information' to sow some inaccuracies (disinformation) into the information
he was releasing that a firefight had indeed occurred at a shared Government-ET
facility and the US had taken heavy casualties. Such a disinformation strategy
would strengthen any fall back position of 'plausibility deniability' that
the government could choose to take over the sensitive information released
by Wolf. Wolf further disclosed in an interview that he had worked at the
Dulce laboratory, thereby providing more confirmation for the existence
of this secret underground base that is the key claim made by Bennewitz.
[53]
Another whistleblower that revealed evidence of the
existence of a joint government-ET base and the 'Dulce military conflict'
is
Bob Lazar. Lazar worked for a few months in 1988
at the S-4 Nevada facility on reverse-engineering the propulsion and power
system of ET craft. In an interview he described his background as follows:
I have two masters degrees, one's in physics; one's
in electronics. I wrote my thesis on MHD, which is magnetohydrodynamics.
I worked at Los Alamos for a few years as a technician and then as a physicist
in the Polarized Proton Section, dealing with the accelerator there. I was
hired at S-4 as a senior staff physicist to work on gravitational propulsion
systems and whatnot associated with those crafts. [54]
Lazar revealed that in his briefing prior to working
on the ET craft he was required to read 200 pages of briefing documents
in preparation for his job. [55] He recalled that the briefing document
mentioned a battle between ETs and humans at a secret base in 1979. He said
the conflict was caused by a security guard that tried to take a weapon
in the ET area and resulted in fatal wounds to security personnel. Lazar's
recollection of the briefing document he read in 1988 is very likely referring
to the 1979 Dulce firefight.
In sum, the strongest evidence for Bennewitz's claims
regarding the Dulce base come from: Thomas Castello's testimony of his employment
and defection from the Dulce underground base after witnessing human rights
abuses; testimony of Phil Schneider who was directly involved in the Dulce
firefight; important parallels with Michael Wolf's revelation of a firefight
that may have occurred four years earlier at another underground base in
Nevada and his admission of having worked at Dulce; Bob Lazar's recollection
of a written briefing disclosing a 1979 firefight between ETs and security
personal at a secret base; and the reports of abductees who underwent hypnotic
regression and whose testimonies are recorded in the book, The Dulce Wars.
Furthermore, the disinformation campaign instigated against Bennewitz, and
the mysterious death of Schneider after his going public on the existence
of secret underground facilities, both lend circumstantial support to the
view that there was sufficient basis to whistleblower claims concerning
the existence of the Dulce underground facility, and possible gross human
rights abuses occurring there.
I can now return to the three possibilities mentioned
earlier concerning Bennewitz's major claims of the existence of the Dulce
base, a military conflict having taken place, and extensive human rights
having occurred (or continuing to occur) at the base. The first possibility
was that the evidence substantiates Bennewitz's claims. The second possibility
was that Bennewitz's claims concerning ET abuses against civilian abductees
was disinformation intended to steer researchers away from the existence
of the base and/or a military conflict having taken place there. The third
possibility was that Bennewitz's claims were compromised by disinformation
intended to steer UFO researchers away from genuine sightings of UFO's.
