Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save There are those who believe that the U.S. government has a seven-story underground facility at Dulce on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation. According to some, it is inhabited by extraterrestrials, and it’s connected to Los Alamos by an 80-mile tunnel. Christian Lambright, one of the speakers at a Dulce Base Conspiracy Symposium in Santa Fe on Saturday, June 16, doesn’t necessarily believe all that, but he is sure some “odd things” have been seen in the area between Dulce and Archuleta Mesa.Lambright focuses on the case of Albuquerque resident Paul Bennewitz, who visited Dulce in 1979 after attending a conference about livestock mutilations and UFOs. “He got back to Albuquerque and went up on his roof and actually got some films of things that were going on at the Manzano weapons storage area at Kirtland Air Force Base over several nights — objects coming in and taking off,” Lambright said by telephone from his home in Austin.As the story goes, Bennewitz showed his pictures to Air Force personnel, and soon there was a woman at his door who claimed to have been abducted in the Dulce area and taken to some kind of underground facility. “I think the idea was to get his attention back on Dulce and away from Albuquerque. Nobody is necessarily claiming there are bases in Dulce, or that there are aliens underground running all over the place, except a few fringe people who wanted to write books and make money off of that idea.”Are there aliens here? “The tough call is the definition of what aliens are,” Lambright said. “Whether it’s aliens or interdimensional travel, I have seen what I think is really strong evidence of a technology that we don’t have.”The June 16 symposium takes place at 11 a.m. at Studio Center of Santa Fe, 1614 Paseo de Peralta. A reading of a pilot screenplay, “The Dulce Base,” by Rick Vargas, follows at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the symposium are $40; call 505-469-8076. There’s also a Dulce Base UFO Conference ($125) on June 23 and 24 at the Wildhorse Casino & Hotel in Dulce. See dulce-base.com for more information, and be sure to check out the informative videos on the press page, including “A Short Summary of Alleged Underground Dulce Base” and “The Dulce Cattle Mutilation Enigma.” Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save Tags Local Dulce Christian Lambright Rick Vargas Paul Bennewitz Dulce Base Ufo Conference Dulce Base Conspiracy Symposium Jicarilla Apache Kirtland Air Force Base Popular in the Community Advertisement Most popular from Pasatiempo Pasatiempo's most popular online content from the past seven days Articles Articles ArticlesGoing deep enough: Max ColeWelcome 2023!
