Let's
examine some of the enigmatic personalities behind
the initial rumors about the alleged Dulce
base
-
how it all started, i.e., 1979 through 1983.
PAUL
BENNEWITZ
.......owner
of Thunder
Scientific Corporation
(contractor
to
Kirtland
AFB),
located right next to the entrance of Kirtland AFB in
Albuquerque, NM, presently operated by his
sons...............from around 1979 Paul Bennewitz
began to witness some strange lights hovering over
Manzano underground nuclear storage area, not too far
from his residence in Four Hills area of Albuquerque.
Some researchers (such
as Greg
Bishop)
theorize that he was looking at some tests of Project
Starfire (laser-based
optical tracking system being developed at that time
by Sandia
Laboratories
next to Manzano)
or possibly some tests of prototypes of unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs) developed by Sandia
Laboratories at that time.......Paul Bennewitz later
became convinced that those objects were somehow
related to an underground base in northern New Mexico
near Dulce.....articles on Bennewitz soon began to
appear in newspapers such as the Albuquerque Journal
and Albuquerque Tribune. Paul Bennewitz began to
suffer from paranoia and was later
institutionalized......he passed away in 2003....his
remains are buried in Veterans Cemetery in Santa
Fe......Paul Bennewitz' sons seem to refuse to be
interviewed.....the main reason being that Thunder
Scientific Corporation
still
does business with Kirtland AFB....they sell military
grade humidifiers and callibration instruments, many
of which were developed,modified and improved by the
late Paul Bennewitz.....Paul Bennewitz' wife, Cindy
Bennewitz, still lives at the residence, which is
located close to the Manzano underground nuclear
storage facility (which
allegedly was closed down in 1992)
in the Four Hills area of Albuquerque.....
MYRNA
HANSEN......in
1979 she claimed to have been abducted near Cimarron,
NM and claimed to have been taken to an unknown
underground location......Paul Bennewitz interviewed
her at his house, together with Leo Sprinkle who did
a hypnotic regression....Paul Bennewitz later on
decided that she must have been taken into the Dulce
base.....this was allegedly only after Bennewitz
begun to suspect that there was a base in Dulce.
TOM
ADAMS......he
was investigating cattle mutilations in the late
1970s....Tom Adams first heard about the Dulce base
from reading Paul Bennewitz' article in newspaper and
other sources from around 1981....it is alleged that
Tom Adams knew "Ann West").
"ANN
WEST"......her
true identity is not confirmed, although Tal Levesque
claims that she is on Facebook with a different
name.......alleged to have been an acquaintance of
Tom Adams...claimed to have drawn the initial
pictures of the vats of the Dulce base...allegedly
knew Tal Levesque....also claims to have known
"Thomas Edwin Castello").....Tal Levesque
claims that she visited him and his wife and also
"Thomas Edwin Castello" in Santa
Fe......Tal Levesque claims that Ann West is
dangerous and is part of the "invisible
government"
JOHN
LEAR.......heard
about Dulce allegedly from "Ann West"....
befriended TAL through John Grace (a.k.a. Val
Valerian)......according to Tal Levesque, John Lear
retouched the Dulce drawings of "Ann
West".....he first came up with his Hypothesis
in 1988 about Dulce and also about Area 51....John
Lear has never been taken seriously by the UFO
community....some people suspect that John Lear
purposely throws in some ridiculous-sounding items as
part of PSYOPS....he recently claimed that there are
cities on the back side of the moon.
TAL LEVESQUE.....a.k.a., TAL or Jason Bishop.......he claimed that he worked in Santa Fe as a security person for a private company around 1980 or 1981.....he claimed to have begun contact with "Thomas E. Castello" who, Tal Levesque claims, worked in the same company in Santa Fe......."Thomas E. Castello" allegedly revealed his secrets to Tal....(the secret was that there was an underground U.S./alien bio-lab under Archuleta Mesa, next to Dulce and that he had worked as a security person at that facility).....but before coming out with this "Thomas Edwin Castello" story, Tal Levesque also seems to have heard initially about the Dulce base rumors from reading about Paul Bennewitz....Tal Levesque claimed that he was visited by a tall Reptoid at his home in Santa Fe in 1979.
"THOMAS
EDWIN CASTELLO".....of
course, there are many persons with the same
name.....however, a retired Air Force Colonel who
claims that he was involved in Dulce, claims that
there has never been a Thomas Edwin Castello that was
ever employed as security personnel in
Dulce.
CHRISTA
TILTON.......came
to the scene slightly after "Ann
West".....Christa Tilton and Tom Adams were
initially partners.....according to Tim Beckley,
Christa Tilton later on got together with Wendell
Stevens.....Christa Tilton was featured on a Japanese
TV program about the Dulce base back in 1989 and
1990....Tilton claimed that her daughter was a
hybrid.....Christa Tilton flew over Archuleta Mesa
and over Soldier Canyon with Junichi Yaoi of Nippon
TV in 1989..she appeared on Japanese TV a couple of
times....and claims to have taken a photo of a
circular structure over Soldier Canyon, which is
slightly SW of Dulce...."Ann West"
reportedly claimed that Christa Tilton was nothing
but trash....
BRANTON.......a.k.a.,
Bruce
Walton......beginning
in the early 1990s, he compiled a book called the
DULCE BOOK....and aslo DULCE WARS.....Walton
allegedly got most of the information from TAL...some
from John Lear, some from Val Valerian (John
Grace)....Tal Levesque claimed that Bruce Walton was
incarcerated in 2009 in Utah for felony
charges.
GABE
VALDEZ.......retired
New Mexico State Patrol Officer who was in charge of
the Dulce area for many years (from the early 1970s
to the late 1980s)......presently lives in
Albuquerque....Valdez claims that the government was
most likely responsible for the cattle mutilations
which started happening from around 1975.......he
claims that the government may have begun to
periodically monitor the radiation levels of certain
cattle some years later, after the 1967 underground
nuclear explosion (Project Gasbuggy) which took place
about 22 miles southwest of Dulce.....Valdez also
states that the government "staged" several
UFO incidents in the Dulce area (Archuleta
Mesa, etc.)
by
use of high tech equipment such as prototypes of
holographic image projections as well as unmanned
aerial vehicles or remotely-controlled platforms that
were made to resemble "flying saucers"....Valdez
believes that bio-warfare experiments were conducted
at Dulce and that "UFO/alien" stories were
concocted by the government as cover stories to
conceal various Black Projects in the area.
WILLIAM
"BILL" MOORE.....who
first propagated (or "revived") the story
about Roswell in 1980 when he published the book
INCIDENT AT ROSWELL (until
Moore's book came out,
most
Americans had no interest
or
knowledge about the Roswell incident since it was
long forgotten and dismissed as
misidentification
by the U.S. Army in 1947)......he
claims that around the same time that he began to
propagate the Roswell story, he was working with
Richard Doty of Kirtland AFB and participated in a
disinformation ploy to saturate Paul Bennewitz (who
was pursuing his independent investigations on Dulce)
with false information on the Dulce base.....so he
claimed in a 1989 MUFON Conference that took place in
Las Vegas, NV....however there is no verifiable
documentation whatsoever that Moore participated in
such disinformation ploy).
RICHARD
C. DOTY.....initially
with Kirtland AFB AFOSI around 1979, 1980 and
1981......he was not a high-ranking officer.....he
claims he participated in disinformation, along with
Moore.....again, there is no documentation that he
participated in such disinformation ploy at Kirtland
AFB AFOSI.....even though Paul Bennewitz' name
appears on one or two Kirtland OSI documents because
Kirtland AFB invited Bennewitz to testify to what he
allegedly was seeing over Manzano storage
areas.....later on Richard C. Doty became a promoter
of the SERPO PROJECT (which
some researchers seem to describe as being a total
fabrication)...Project
Camelot seems to have bought Doty's story hook, line
and sinker......presently he is working as New Mexico
Highway Patrol Officer....about to retire in a couple
of months.
P.S.
The
most sane person, surprisingly,
may have been Paul Bennewitz himself and Gabe
Valdez.
It is quite possible that Paul Bennewitz
had long pretended
that
he had been "brainwashed" by some within
the AFOSI, while he continued to conduct his own
investigations into Dulce. But, nevertheless, he
couldn't himself overcome his growing paranoia.
Another possible scenario may have been that there
was a dissension among the AFOSI and an element among
the group may have provided Bennewitz with some
crucial information on Dulce.
