Chapter 2
High Strangeness On The Archuleta Plateau
In the Spring of 1990 researcher 'Jason Bishop' sent copies of the following
report to a select few investigators, and later gave permission for the
report to be distributed among a wider readership.
-
Is the object described
within the report the product of secret technology being developed by the
Military-Industrial Complex as part of some covert or deep-cover space
project?
-
Or does it involve something a bit more 'alien' than mere top
secret black-project research and top-of-the-line vanguard aircraft designs
- the Stealth series, the Aurora, etc. - which are being developed at the
Nevada Test Site?
-
Or, could it be a combination of both?
The transcript, titled: 'RECOLLECTIONS AND IMPRESSIONS OF VISIT TO DULCE,
NEW MEXICO - OCTOBER 23, 24, 1988', is reproduced in its entirety below.
"Upon arrival I was introduced to
Dr. John F. Gille, a French National. Dr. Gille has a PhD in Math/Physics from the University of Paris. He had worked
very closely with the French Government on the UFO phenomena in that
country.
(Side Note:
Dr. Gille had also released a report on another "Dulce-like"
base near Pine Gap - Alice Springs, Australia. This base is a massive multi-leveled
facility run by the "Club of Rome" which, like the 'Bildeberger'
organization, is reputedly a cover for the
Bavarian Illuminati.
The article
spoke of antigravity disk research, and plans to make
Pine Gap a major
"control center" for a "New World Order".
Pine Gap is equipped with whole
levels of computer terminals tied-in to the major computer mainframes of the
world which contain the intimate details of most of the inhabitants of
industrialized nations.
The article also spoke of the infiltration of
several major religious denominations, the media, international governments,
the economy, education, and other levels of society by the Bavarian
Illuminati, in order to prepare the way for a New World Order dictatorship.
The report also stated that the workers at Pine Gap are highly indoctrinated
and programmed so that they do not threaten or sabotage the security of the
Illuminati projects being carried out there. - Branton).
"He told me," Bishop continues, "that he has not worked in his chosen field
for fifteen years, having devoted all of his time to research on UFOs.
Dr. Gille is an amiable, forthright man.
He has no reservations about expressing
his own views on the subject. He does hold several beliefs that border on
the paranormal. Dr. Gille had his wife, Elaine, with him. My personal view
of him is one of caution. Until I get to know him better, I feel that I
should be very careful.
"Edmound Gomez is a rancher. His ranch is 13 miles west of
Dulce.
(Note:
Accounts given by others state that the ranch is 13 miles east of Dulce,
however whatever the case may be it's safe to say that the ranch is 13 miles
FROM Dulce. - Branton).
"From 1975 until 1983 the
Gomez ranch was the scene [epicenter] of most of
the cattle mutilations that took place in the northern New Mexico / southern
Colorado area.
He told me that his family homesteaded the Dulce area 111
years ago and that as a result of these mutilations, they lost $100,000 in
cattle over an eight year period. One of these cases occurred only 200 yards
behind his home. He showed me the area.
"Edmound was very open and discussed with me the various mutilation cases
that had occurred on his ranch and on those of others. Upon our Return from
the mountain trip, he invited me to his home where he shared with me various
photographs, clippings, letters etc. relating to the cases. He loaned me
several overhead photographs of the Mt. Archuleta area. I hope to be able to
have them examined through image intensification techniques.
"Edmound also told me about the many times that combat ready troops had been
spotted in the area. Some of these troops were found in areas that are only
gotten to through four-wheel drive trucks or on foot. [This is VERY rugged
country].
The troops were also spotted in areas that only the Apache has
permission to go. When the reported 'experimental aircraft' went down in
1983, there were 'hundreds of troops, armed to the teeth' reported in the
area. When approached, the troops would run and disappear.
"Participants in the
Mt. Archuleta expedition were:
Because of Gabe's position as head of
the State Police in Dulce and Edmound being a part of the community, we were
given permission to go onto the mountain. It is located on the Apache
Reservation.
"We left about 1430 hrs, Sunday, 23 October 1988. We used
Gabe's four wheel
drive pickup truck to get up the mountain. The road was incredibly
difficult. At one time we had to dig out the side of the mountain in order
to allow the truck to pass. At about 17:30 hrs we arrived at the proposed
campsite. It was on a relatively flat area about 300 yards from the peak of
Mt. Archuleta.
"Gabe and Edmound both told me that in 1978 there was an agreement between
the Ute Indians [Colorado] and the Federal Government. This agreement
consisted of the Ute Nation receiving all the territory now occupied along
the New Mexico/Colorado border with the explicit agreement that they would
strictly enforce a 'NO TRESPASSING' regulation along the border of their
territory.
Therefore, it is not possible to even cross the Ute Reservation
without special permission from the Tribal Headquarters. If caught without
this permission you are liable for a fine and/or jail and expulsion. There
is now a road leading to the
Archuleta area through the reservation. It is
patrolled by the Indian Forest Service
(Note: the Colorado border is only a
relatively few miles away from and to the north of the Archuleta plateau. -
Branton)
"At 19:51 hrs. all seven of us spotted a very bright light coming from the
northwest at a very high rate of speed. The object appeared to be boomerang
shaped with a very bright light just below its center
(Some have alleged
that these 'boomerang' shaped vehicles may have some connection with a
super-secret black budget space operation called Alternative-3. -
Branton).
The light was a bright white, blue and green. As it approached, it slowed
down [obviously under intelligent control], seemed to reverse direction,
finally stopping.
When it stopped, a shower of what appeared to be sparks
were emitted from each end of the boomerang, and then it began moving
forward again and disappeared from sight at a very high rate of speed. All
this took place in approximately 10 to 15 seconds. We attempted to take a
picture of the object but were unsuccessful.
"About 22:00 hours we climbed to the summit of
Mt. Archuleta and watched for
about an hour and a half. We could see across the canyon in the moonlight.
This canyon wall is where Paul Bennewitz [prominent and well known physicist
and UFO investigator] claimed an 'alien' base is located and that during the
night their ships are seen entering and leaving cave openings in the cliff
wall.
During our stay on the peak, we saw two very bright lights on the
cliff walls in the exact location where Paul said the base openings were.
There are no roads on this cliff. The lights would appear suddenly and then
fade over a period of time until you could not see them. At this time we
also heard voices that sounded like radio transmissions.
The voices were not
understandable but they were there none the less. The same light pattern was
seen by myself and Edmound Gomez as we sat on the cliff...at about 01:00
hours. We also heard voices. At one time we thought we could hear trucks
moving but we could not be sure about this. After 02:00 hours there were no
more sightings or sounds.
"On Monday, 24 October 1988 the entire party climbed to the peak once again.
We were looking for evidence that there had been a crash of an 'experimental
aircraft' flown by an Air Force General in 1983. This crash was reported in
the newspapers for two days as a small plane and then hushed up. The craft
was rumored to be a captured UFO, flown by Americans. We were hoping to
prove that there indeed had been a crash but also to find some physical
evidence.
"Dr. Bennewitz reported that the craft had clipped off a large tree in it's
descent, had hit another tree, regained altitude, skimmed over the peak of
Archuleta, [and] hit a third tree in the valley north of the peak. It was
then reported to have hit the ground, flipped over twice and came to rest.
We found the trees as reported by Bennewitz.
They were all in line with each
other and the final resting place. The first tree was about 40 inches in
diameter. It was hit about 30 feet off the ground. There was no fire. I have
taken samples of this tree for analysis. The other two trees were smaller
[approximately 12 to 20 inches in diameter]. There was evidence of fire with
these.
Samples of [these] trees were also taken. Between the second tree and
the third tree we found large pieces of what appeared to be part of the
first tree.
One piece was burnt while next to it was one that had not been
burned. Samples were taken. While searching for physical evidence, a
standard issue style ball-point pen was found. This is of the same type used
by the U.S. Government but can also be purchased by the general public.
Strange to have been found in such a remote place as this canyon.
The
alleged crash area showed a large SEMI-CIRCULAR area with new vegetation.
The area above the semi-circular area was covered with new vegetation also.
Samples of the soil of this area were taken.
"My overall impressions of this trip are mixed. I believe that there is
definitely something going on in the area. What it is, I do not know.
Perhaps there is a base there. Perhaps it is jointly operated by 'aliens'
and the government, as claimed by John Lear. Then again, it could be a US
base so super secret that there are no fences around to arouse any
suspicion... then again I cannot say for sure.
I do know that the evidence
that we found and saw definitely points to the fact that something is going
on in this area."
In apparent confirmation of the above,
Gabe Valdez - the former State
Police officer in Dulce, New Mexico who was a part of the expedition
described above - was contacted by researcher
Alan deWalton in 1990, in an
attempt to confirm some of the information concerning his involvement in the
UFO-mutilation investigations.
During a telephone conversation with
Valdez,
the following was learned:
"-- He and others HAD seen strange flying objects in the area, however he
himself was unsure whether these were 'UFO's' of alien origin, or some type
of top secret aircraft being tested by some secret faction of the
government.
"-- Something DID crash near Mt. Archuleta several years ago, but again, he
did not find any evidence conclusively proving whether it was an object of
human OR alien origin.
"-- There is another road leading to the
Mt. Archuleta area [and mesa] aside
from the one which goes through the Ute Indian reservation. As for the Ute
Reservation road, much of it is in good condition [paved?]. Only the area
around the Archuleta region itself requires four-wheel drive vehicles.
"-- He did investigate cattle mutilations, and at least in SOME cases a
known nerve agent was discovered in the carcasses, and other indications
suggesting that the cattle were being used for research in 'DNA'
experiments."
Quite by accident, while scanning the Internet, I was surprised to discover
yet another confirmation of the events described earlier by Jason Bishop.
This THIRD confirmation of UFO activity near Dulce, New Mexico by members of
the expedition team was given by none other than John Gilli, one of the
Mt.
Archuleta expedition team members mentioned earlier.
Gilli's own report
follows:
SUBJECT: UFO REPORT FROM DULCE, NEW MEXICO
- FILE: UFO749
SUMMARY: - Report of UFO sighting over Mt. Archuleta, NM on October 23,
1988 by John F. Gille et. al.
LOCATION AND TIME"
-- Southern slopes of Mt. Archuleta, 5 miles NW of
Dulce, NM. -- Location of the phenomenon: South to North trajectory for about two miles
stopping very close to Mt. Archuleta summit. -- Estimated closest observers distance: 480 yards.
-- Distance from observers to spot where the UFO stopped: 510 yards.
-- Time: 7:51 pm Mountain time. -- Duration: est. 5-6 seconds
WITNESSES:
-- Eliane Allegre, RN -- Gabe Valdez -- Edmund, friend of Valdez
-- "Jack" [pseudonym], PhD -- Manuel, local kid -- Greg, son of Valdez
-- Jeff, another son of Valdez -- John Gille, PhD
(Note: "Jack" would probably be
Jason Bishop, which is itself a pseudonym
used by a researcher and a friend of mine who uses this pseudonym because of
his deep-level research into some very dangerous areas of investigation.
That is, IF one considers the revelations such as those contained within
this volume to be 'dangerous' information under certain circumstances. - Branton)
CIRCUMSTANCES OF SIGHTING:
-
I [John Gille] was interested in the Dulce area because of rumors related to
a jointly [CIA-Alien] occupied underground facility under
Mt. Archuleta, and
to numerous UFO sightings, as reported by local residents.
-
A night of observation in the mountains had been planned under the
leadership of Valdez.
-
Since about 7:30pm, we had been playing OUIJA at the instigation of Valdez.
Just as we were processing the last person, one of Valdez's sons shouted:
"Look! Here it comes!"
[NOTE: I {Gille} DO NOT make the statement that there was a causal
correlation between what we had just been doing and what we saw next. I
merely report two consecutive events which may or may not have been
correlated.]
LOOK OF THE PHENOMENON:
-
The object came from the south at great speed on a flat, straight,
rectilinear, horizontal trajectory resulting in a perfectly straight
luminous yellowish line. It was definitely not a plane or a shooting star.
-
There was no sound coming from the object.
-
The object stopped dead in its tracks near the top of the mountain.
-
At the same time, it became extremely luminous, lighting at least half the
sky. There was a display of various colors: yellow, pink, green, and a
shower of sparks.
-
Then the object folded on itself and disappeared.
