Underground UFO Base Linked to Deadly Encounters Emerges from Decades of Speculation

The Mystery of “Alien Mountain”: Dulce’s 50-Year UFO Enigma

For decades, rumors of a secret alien base inside New Mexico’s Archuleta Mesa, dubbed “Alien Mountain,” have captivated UFO enthusiasts and locals alike. Nestled near the town of Dulce, the site has become synonymous with UFO sightings, bizarre cattle mutilations, and whispered tales of underground government-alien collaborations.

Strange Sightings and Skinwalker Tales
Since the 1970s, Dulce residents have reported UFOs hovering near the mesa. Geraldine Julian, a longtime local, insists, “The whole town…they’ll tell you what they’ve seen.” Beyond lights in the sky, photos of disc-shaped crafts and cow carcasses—surgically dissected with organs removed—have fueled speculation. Retired New Mexico State Police officer Gabe Valdez investigated these mutilations, finding gas masks and glow sticks at the scenes, but no clear perpetrators.

The Subterrene: A Tool for Secret Bases?
Declassified records recently revealed the U.S. government’s 1970s-era “Subterrene,” a nuclear-powered drill designed to melt rock, creating glass-walled tunnels. Developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, just 100 miles from Dulce, the machine’s existence hints at the possibility of hidden facilities. While no documents tie it directly to Archuleta Mesa, conspiracy theorists argue it explains how a base could be built undetected.

Whistleblower Claims: A Battle with Aliens
Self-proclaimed government engineer Phil Schneider became a central figure in the Dulce lore. Before his mysterious death in 1996, he claimed to have battled aliens inside the mesa’s alleged seven-level base. Schneider described genetic labs, alien tech, and a violent 1979 clash that killed 66 humans after drilling breached an alien-controlled zone. Though lacking proof, his stories—and a piece of “alien metal” he displayed—remain UFO lecture hall staples.

From Signals to Disinformation
In 1979, physicist Paul Bennewitz asserted he intercepted strange signals near Dulce, theorizing they came from a joint human-alien base. However, the Air Force later exposed Bennewitz as a pawn in a disinformation campaign to discredit UFO narratives. Despite this, Dulce locals stand by their accounts.

“It’s Not a Fairy Tale”
Decades later, Dulce’s 2,700 residents remain steadfast. Dory Vigil, who photographed a UFO near the mesa, vows to take a lie detector test to validate his claims. Julian recalls seeing a human-goat hybrid, allegedly a genetic experiment escaped from the base. Others report steam rising from sudden ground openings—potential vents for the hidden complex.

While skeptics dismiss the tales as folklore, Dulce’s enduring mysteries keep “Alien Mountain” etched in UFO lore. As technology and declassified files slowly peel back government secrecy, believers hope one day proof will emerge from the shadows of Archuleta Mesa.
