The Dulce Report
In recent years, volumes of information have circulated
within the UFO research community regarding the alleged
presence of a joint U.S.\Alien base in the area of Dulce,
New Mexico.
In an attempt to either prove or disprove the
information, the Phoenix Project has completed an intense
investigation of the Dulce area. Our investigation
encompassed the following:
1. A detailed physical search of the Archuleta Mesa
by vehicle and on foot.
2. The physical exploration of a large area
surrounding the Town of Dulce.
3. Interviews with local citizens, native American
Indians of the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation and
Rio Arriba County Sheriff and highway maintenance
personnel.
4. A search of County building and construction
permits and records, and interviews to determine if any
large scale civilian or government construction projects
ever occurred in the area from 1930 to the present.
5. A comprehensive aerial survey and airborne
magnetometer survey of the Archuleta Mesa, the Town of
Dulce, the Archuleta Mesa, and surrounding areas.
An Overview
Re: Dulce
The Town of Dulce, is located in northern New Mexico
near the southern border of Colorado. Dulce is located
eighty-three miles northeast of Farmington, New Mexico on
U.S. Route 64. See Map Exhibit 1.
It has a population of 1,648 and is nestled in a
valley. Just to the north and overlooking the town is the
large Archuleta Mesa. The town is at an altitude of 6,825
feet above sea level. The main income producing activity
in the area is cattle ranching. The business and service
activities are typical of those needed in a community of
this size. There are no military or industrial
activities, large or small, in the area. See Photo
Exhibits 4 and 5.
In order to present the results of our investigation
it is necessary to refer to items of information, widely
available to UFO researchers, concerning the Dulce,
U.S.\Alien base. In the following, we will quote from
those items of information. We will attempt to identify
the source whenever possible. This will be followed by
our findings.
The Investigation
1)
Source Information
Excerpts: Dulce Papers.Txt
Author Unknown
...A joint US/EBE facility exists beneath the
Archuleta Mesa near the town of DULCE NEW MEXICO. (1A)
This facility has been in existence in one form or
another since 1948.
(1B) ...The facility proper is located one kilometer
underground.
(1C) The base is approximately 2.5 miles northwest of
Dulce, and almost overlooks the town.
(1D) There is a paved government road 36 feet wide
going into the area.
* * *
Findings of Phoenix Project Investigation (PHX)
regarding the foregoing:
(PHX-1A) No substantiating County records confirm
this. Local residents have no memory of any government
installation, civilian or military ever having existed in
this area.
(PHX-1B) Same as 1A. There is no record or memory of
any underground heavy construction, excavation, or mining
activity in the area.
(PHX-1C) See Map Exhibit 3.
(PHX-1D) See Map Exhibits 2 and 3, and Photo Exhibits
6 and 7. The road in question is Indian Reservation Road
# J-2. It has never been labeled a "government" road.
This road is not paved, as described in the source
material. It is a narrow, two lane dirt road (barely
twenty (20) feet wide that is completely open for public
use.
* * *
2)
Source Information
Excerpts:
1988 Krill2.Txt
...During the occupation of the Greys, they have
established quite a number of underground bases all over
the world, especially in the United States. (2A) One such
base (among others in the same state) is under Archuleta
Mesa, which is about 2.5 miles northwest of Dulce, New
Mexico.
The foregoing extract is from a transcript of a
conversation between Jim McCampbell and Dr. Paul
Bennewitz on July 13, 1984.
* * *
Findings:
(PHX-2A) This refers to the previously mentioned
Indian Reservation Road # J-2. The road at this point is
at the base of the Archuleta Mesa. See Map Exhibit 3 and
Photo Exhibit 7.

3)
Source Information
Excerpts:
1988 Krill2.Txt
(3A) ...Bennewitz reports he was able to determine the
location of the underground facility: a kilometer
underground beneath Archuleta Mesa on the Jicarilla
Apache Indian Reservation near Dulce, New Mexico (since
1976, one of the areas of the U.S. hardest hit by
mutilations). (3B) Bennewitz' information is that this
installation is operated jointly as part of an on-going
program of cooperation between the U.S. government and
the EBEs.
Back to the base under discussion. After Bennewitz
briefed Air Force officials on what he had found, a trip
to the area revealed the following data:
(3C) The base is 2.5 miles northwest of Dulce, and
almost overlooks the town. (3D) There is a level highway
36 feet wide going into the area. It is a government
road. (3E) One can see telemetry trailers and buildings
that are five-sided with a dome. Next to the domes, a
black limousine was noted -- a CIA vehicle. (3F) These
limos will run you off the road if you try to get into
the area. (3G) To the north there is a launch site. (3H)
There are two wrecked ships there; they are 36 feet long
with wings, and one can see oxygen and hydrogen tanks.
The ships that we got out of the trade are atomic-powered
with plutonium pellets. Refueling of the plutonium is
accomplished at Los Alamos. (3I) The base has been there
since 1948.
Some of the disks are piloted by the NSA. (3J) The
base is 4,000 feet long (3K) and helicopters are going
in and out of there all the time. When it became known
that Bennewitz was familiar with this, the mutilations in
the area stopped. (3L) In 1979, something happened and
the base was temporarily closed. There was an argument
over weapons and our people were chased out. The aliens
killed 66 of our people, and 44 got away.
One of the people who in fact got away was a CIA agent
who, before leaving, made some notes, photos, and
videotapes, and went into hiding. He has been in hiding
ever since, and every six months he contacts each of five
people he left copies of the material with. His
instructions were that if he missed four successive
contacts, the people could do whatever they want with the
material and was received in December, 1987, by many
researchers. The "Dulce Papers" were composed of 25 black
and white photos, a videotape with no dialogue and a set
of papers that included technical information regarding
the jointly occupied (U.S.-Alien) facility one kilometer
beneath the Archuleta Mesa near Dulce, New Mexico. (3M)
The facility still exists and is currently operational.
* * *
Findings:
(PHX-3A) Refer to (PHX-1A & 1B.
(PHX-3B) Refer to (PHX-1A & 1B). There are no records,
nor is there any physical evidence to substantiate this
allegation.
(PHX-3C) The elevation at the location described,
where Reservation Road J-2 crosses the Navajo River, is
not high enough to overlook the Town of Dulce. The road
is not level and it is not 36-feet wide. See Map Exhibit
2.
(PHX-3D) See (PHX-1D). The road is not level and it
is not 36-feet wide. It is a narrow dirt road that
climbs, slowly, with many curves, around the base of
Archuleta Mesa. See Photo Exhibit 7.
(PHX-3E) Local residents and County highway
maintenance crews have no memory of any such trailers,
buildings, domes or limousines in this area. Physical
investigation reveals there is no area where such
structures ever existed.
(PHX-3F) The Rio Arriba County Sheriff's Office has
no record of any reports, ever, having been filed by
motorists forced off the road by "any" type vehicle. As
mentioned previously, this is a Reservation Road used by
the Indians, ranchers and the general public. If any
occurrences, such as those described ever occurred, it
would have been the "talk-of-the-town." No residents
interviewed, remember any such events.
(PHX-3G) Physical investigation, on foot, failed to
reveal any evidence of a "launch" site at the location
described.
(PHX-3H) There are no physical indications of any
kind, and there are no cleared areas of sufficient size
to provide space for two crashed ships or the oxygen and
fuel tanks described. This includes both sides of the
road, all the way around the mesa. See Map Exhibit 3.
(PHX-3I) There are no indications of any such
facilities. No one remembers any such facilities. Such
facilities are not there today.
(PHX-3J) A complete examination of the area and the
top of the mesa show no evidence of any 4000 foot long
cleared area. If such ever existed, scars in the
landscape would still be present. See Map Exhibit 3.
(64 min left), (H)elp, More?
(PHX-3K) Physical examination does not reveal past or
present helicopter landing pads anywhere in the area.
Local residents do not remember any extensive helicopter
activity, of any kind, in the area.
(PHX-3L) There is no record or local memory of any
military presence, garrison, or troop movements, past or
present, in the Dulce area. Since there is only one major
highway into and out of Dulce, the presence of any
military truck convoys or ambulances would not have gone
un-noticed by the local residents. And, as mentioned
previously, there has never been any major helicopter
activity that could have brought in airborne troops.
(PHX-3M) Contrary to the statements in the Krill2
information, there is no physical indication of any
installation in the Dulce area or in, around or
underneath the Archuleta Mesa. Both ground and aerial
surveys do not indicate any suspicious terrain features.
An airborne magnetometer survey of the described areas
reveal no unusual underground features that could be
interpreted as a large underground base. If an
underground base was located 1-KM beneath the Archuleta
Mesa, and it was 3-KM wide by 8-KM long, its presence
would be revealed by the magnetometer. Any underground
facility of the size described would be easily detected
even if it was buried 5-KM below the mesa. It would be
more than obvious. It would "shout" its presence. The
Magnetometer Contour Chart indicates no hidden
underground facility or any unusual excavations or
caverns. See Exhibit-9.

Source Information
Excerpts:
PROJECT BETA
BY DR. PAUL BENNEWITZ
(4A)...numerous road blocks extend northward. (4B)
Maintained road some thirty feet wide and servicing
facilities, tanks, etc. There is also an apparent
foundation for another helo pad______ (4C) human housing,
and another black limousine with tracks leading to it
west of the road.
...The total alien basing area apparently contains
several cultures, (all under the designation 'unity')
(4D) and is approx 3km wide by 8km long and is located in
the middle of nowhere on the Jicarilla Indian Reservation
west of Dulce, NM.
...Based on the number of ships presently in this
area, the total alien population is estimated to be at
least 2,000 and most likely more.
----- Logistical plans -----
...initial logistics would indicate a plan
sequentially implemented as follows: This plan does not
include all requirements and preparatory safety measures
to be employed by the ground force; however, if Air Force
Intelligence desires to pursue the approaches suggested
in this report, each significant requirement will be
discussed in depth.
(4E) The attack must be directed almost entirely on
the ground since vehicle ignition problems will be
encountered. All electrical and electronic equipment must
be 'hardened' using specific techniques perfected prior
to implementation. This information has been checked by
interaction and eavesdropping on their communication
channels _______as far as weaknesses are concerned. The
program would be instigated in phases:
(4F)
1) The first procedure would be to close the gates of
the dam above the Navajo River. This dam could be held
closed for the duration. Internal to the one cave, there
is a small dam for water storage. Its capacity is small.
(4G) There is also a discharge outlet downstream that
could be closed, causing waste water to back up into the
caves. The water is vacuum pumped apparently by some
electrostatic means from the river. (4H) There is a water
intake and dam upstream that can be totally cut off and
the water re-routed to Chama, New Mexico.
* * *
Findings:
(PHX-4A) There are no roadblocks on any roads in the
Dulce Area. See Photo Exhibit 7, of Reservation Road #
J-2. There are no roadblocks present. According to
County Maintenance Crews, the only time Road J-2 was
blocked was years ago when it was "washed-out" by heavy
rains in the area.
(PHX-4B) Reservation Road # J-2, 2.5 miles northwest
of Dulce, is a narrow, winding, dirt road. It does not
match the description in the source information.
(PHX-4C) No such facilities exist. No one ever
remembers the existence of any such facilities.
(PHX-4D) Investigations on foot, by vehicle, and by
aerial survey, show no evidence of secret entrances to
any facility or a base as large as the one described in
the source information.
(PHX-4E) An Electro-Magnetic "spectrum sweep" of the
Archuleta Mesa and the Town of Dulce, revealed no unusual
electromagnetic disturbances. The entire area was
surveyed by a "Total Field" Magnetometer. No unusual
magnetic disturbances were recorded.
(PHX-4F) There are no records of any "Dams" on the
Navajo River anywhere near the Dulce area or north of the
Archuleta Mesa. The "Dam" described in the source
information does not exist.
(PHX-4G) An "on-foot" survey of the Navajo River did
not reveal the existence of any "discharge outlets"
downstream. There is no evidence of any caves. The
Indians interviewed did not know of any caves, along the
river, as described in the source information.
(PHX-4H) There is no "water intake" or "dam" upstream
on the Navajo River. The lack of any "dams" can be
verified by consulting any topographical or aeronautical
charts of the area. Re-routing the Navajo River, by
damming it, to Chama, New Mexico, as described by
Bennewitz, would be a miraculous feat. Chama, New Mexico
is at an elevation of 8,025 feet above sea level, as
indicated by Aeronautical Chart # 45 dated July 25, 1991.
Also noted, on this same chart, is the elevation of Dulce
as 6,800 feet above sea level. It would be a natural
impossibility to have the water of the Navajo River
re-routed to Chama, as the water would have flow up-hill
over the Continental Divide that separates the two towns.
The mountainous terrain ranges from 9,025 to 9,916 feet
above sea level with no obvious gravitational advantages
between the two towns. Such an effort would require the
installation on a monster pipeline and pumping station to
accomplish this. No such pipeline or pumping station has
ever been built in this area.

CONCLUSIONS:
Information from many sources regarding the existence
of an alleged U.S.\Alien Base at Dulce, New Mexico, does
not agree with the facts obtained by the investigation
carried out by The Phoenix Project. It would appear that
the information describing this alleged U.S./Alien Base
and the numerous facilities associated with it, is
entirely false. This would indicate deliberate
disinformation supplied to UFO investigators and all
those interested in UFO research. It seems that this
disinformation is designed to mis-lead and mis-direct
serious researchers away from the truth. It seems
incredible that serious UFO researchers and the UFO
Movement, in general, could accept the information
regarding a large U.S.\Alien Base near Dulce, without
making a detailed and complete investigation.
The facts revealed by the Phoenix Project
investigation do not support the presence of a joint
U.S.\Alien base near Dulce -- and it is not in, around,
or under the Archuleta Mesa. Perhaps there is a such a
base somewhere else on the Jicarilla Indian Reservation,
but if that is true, it seems strange that the Apaches,
the local residents and the proper local authorities have
no knowledge of its presence or that such a base ever
existed.
From a practical stand-point, a base as large as the
one described in the information supplied by the sources
quoted, along with a staff of 2000 aliens and their human
co-workers, would need to meet certain logistical
requirements. Any sizeable joint U.S.\Alien base, located
anywhere, would need to meet the same requirements.
1. The presence of a large, highly technical, human
work-force.
2. Support facilities for such a human work-force,
i.e., housing, medical, recreational, service and
shopping, and service support facilities.
3. There would obviously be work-shifts with workers
coming and going at certain hours. None of this activity
could be totally concealed. This activity would be
recognized by other people in the area.
4. Such a base would require operating supplies which
would require incoming freight shipments. Delivering such
supplies would require delivery trucks or some form of
air transport. Such activity, on a regular basis, would
not go un-noticed by local residents.
5. If such a base existed, above ground or
underground, there would need to be security guards,
fenced or controlled areas and regular perimeter patrols.
A relationship with local law enforcement officials would
be required. The presence of such security forces and
patrols would not go un-noticed by residents in the area.
6. Local authorities, i.e., city, county, and law
enforcement, would know if such a base or facility
existed in their area.
Please note. None of the foregoing criteria exist, or
have existed, in or around the Town of Dulce or anywhere
on the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation. Nor do they
exist in any other "remote areas" where there are
suspected U.S. or joint U.S\Alien bases. Thus, one can
only conclude that such bases cannot remain "hidden" in
remote areas. Someone will always know or remember that
something strange is going-on in any remote area.
Where then, should one look for such bases? The answer
should be obvious. Such bases must meet the requirements
outlined previously. They are located in known areas
which meet all the logistical requirements. There are any
number of government or military installations in New
Mexico that easily meet such requirements. However,
gaining entry to such facilities, to prove that such a
base exists, would prove difficult if not impossible to
any civilian researcher without the proper credentials,
security clearances and a "need-to-know."

scientific exhibits associated with this Report.
