“Synchronicity was in effect,” O’Brien said. “A truly tricksterish chain of events!”
The Norad Event
The NORAD Event is actually a series of incidents that began at the end of November 1993 and continued until the evening of January 17, 1994.
Over that six-week period, there was an avalanche of reports from people in the SLV documenting multicolored fireballs, orange orbs, mysterious fires, many mysterious booms, a flurry of Bigfoot sightings and many instances of military activity, and there was also a documented unusual cattle death.
At the height of these events, on January 12, a NORAD official contacted the Rio Grande, Colorado, sheriff’s office at three forty p.m. and reported that a significant explosion had occurred about an hour before near the Rock Creek Canyon area. This explosion had been detected by a NORAD satellite scope operator inside Cheyenne Mountain—yet its cause was never determined.
Exactly two hours later Florence, Colorado, resident Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Lloyd, a thirty-five-year veteran fighter pilot and self-professed UFO skeptic, reported seeing a group of enormous glowing-green objects in close formation streak over his head and then descend into the San Luis Valley. According to Lloyd, these were not celestial objects such as meteors or any kind of conventional craft or missile. They flew in complete silence as they disappeared from view.
Later on, a source close to NORAD told O’Brien that a newly promoted U.S. Air Force captain in her third trimester of pregnancy had recently been found dead in her garage. The cause: carbon monoxide poisoning. This happened two weeks after the NORAD phone call to the Rio Grande sheriff’s office. No death notice was ever carried in the local papers.
Sometime later, O’Brien was told by another NORAD employee that there’d actually been three suspicious suicides among NORAD personnel; all had happened around the same time of the so-called NORAD Event.
Meanwhile, a film production company was scheduled to do a film about NORAD. This company had been the first film crew ever allowed aboard a Trident submarine. They had also worked with NASA. Obviously, they were well connected.
But when they mentioned to NORAD that they wanted to do at least part of their film about the NORAD Event, their permission to film inside Cheyenne Mountain was rescinded and the project was killed.
G-O-D or D-O-D?
On August 21, 1994, around midnight, witnesses in Del Norte, Colorado, saw a large group of lights hovering over a nearby mountain.
According to a local newspaper, five of the witnesses said that as the objects hung silently in the night sky, they formed up into a capital letter G, then a circle, then a triangle. It was as if they were spelling out G-O-D…. Then, one of the objects flew close enough to the witnesses that they could see it was sphere-shaped with blinking red and blue lights. The witnesses watched the mysterious display for almost an hour.
While it’s interesting that these people mentioned the mysterious lights forming shapes that suggested they were spelling the word God, other witnesses farther east observed the same light show from a different angle and claimed that instead of a G, they saw a D, spelling out D-O-D, which just happens to be the abbreviation for the Department of Defense.
Either way, very strange.
It Gets Personal….
Chris O’Brien’s pursuit of the myriad mysteries in the San Luis Valley has led to several rather disturbing incidents for him personally.
In the summer of 1998, he got a call from a man who wanted to pay him a visit and talk about his work. The man then stopped by O’Brien’s house. In our interview, O’Brien described him as being “brush cut, and of military bearing.”
The visitor identified himself as being from “the Institute of Business and Social Architecture,” out of Washington, DC.
After some small talk about O’Brien’s investigations, this person told him bluntly, “Maybe you’re looking into things that people don’t have a need to know.”
While O’Brien was reeling a bit from this, the man added, “Perhaps you should question your motivation.”
The reason for the meeting seems clear. Either this guy was watching too many movies or someone in the U.S. government was trying to send O’Brien a not-so-subtle message.
* * *
O’Brien experienced an even more chilling episode in the fall of 1998.
It happened on a night that O’Brien was not supposed to be home. His girlfriend was on a business trip and O’Brien and her daughter were supposed to be out of town as well. But plans had changed because his car broke down at a job site, where it sat.
It was the middle of the night when O’Brien heard someone come into his house. Just by the voices, he knew at least three men, maybe four, had come in and were rummaging through his office.
“They were right on the other side of the wall from me,” O’Brien said. “They were talking in low voices, but not exactly whispering. It was obvious they thought no one was home.”
While O’Brien could hear his file drawers opening and his maps being unrolled, one of the intruders went upstairs, where O’Brien’s girlfriend’s daughter was sleeping.
“She woke up and was freaked out,” O’Brien reported. “She hid under the covers, but caught a glimpse of this guy. She said he was dressed all in black, and wearing something on his head that stuck out from his face.”
O’Brien suspects that something was night-vision equipment.
Once the burglars left, O’Brien checked his office and found only that his UFO files had been tampered with—reports, maps and so on. Nothing else had been stolen from the house.
* * *
But still this is not the strangest thing O’Brien experienced during his time in the SLV.
That designation goes to the case of the disappearing cargo plane.
O’Brien was outside his home one day and heard the sound of an airplane approaching in the cloudless sky. It was a C-130 cargo plane, a longtime workhorse for the U.S. military and a common sight over any military air base. But there was something different about this particular C-130. It was not the usual dull green or dull gray service color. Instead it was bright and shiny, like it was made of unpainted, polished aluminum or chrome.
Then as O’Brien watched the plane fly directly over Blanca Peak, the plane simply… disappeared.
“It blinked out, right before my eyes,” O’Brien said. “There was a flash of light and it was gone. About five seconds later the sound it was making was gone as well. Like someone hit a mute button.”
What could it have been? A cloaking device? Some sort of interdimensional transport?
“I don’t know,” O’Brien said. “I’m still trying to figure that one out.”

Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico
How to Destroy a Human Being
About 120 miles north of Albuquerque, New Mexico, there’s a town named Dulce. It’s a small place, under three thousand people, and most of it is located within the Jicarilla Apache Reservation.
Nearby is Archuleta Mesa, a peak that rises more than nine thousand feet above sea level. And what’s going on inside this mountain appears to make whatever is happening at S4 or in the SLV pale by comparison.
Hidden inside Archuleta Mesa is a multilevel underground complex operated not by the U.S. government but by one (or maybe two) races of horrendously evil space aliens. These ETs are abducting and murdering human beings and eating them. Any leftover organs the aliens use to prolong their own unearthly lives.
But consuming human flesh is just the beginning. These ETs are creating a race of mindless quasi-humanoid creatures by sewing human and animal body parts together. They are also implanting devices inside the brains of ordinary Americans, an alien technology that will turn these people into zombies at the flick of a switch. These zombies will be part of a vast army that will help the aliens take over Earth and ship the rest of us either to the moon or Mars to work as slaves.
As ghastly as all this sounds, the U.S. government
is fully aware of what’s happening inside Dulce Base. In fact, our government is actually helping these alien intruders by providing American scientists to assist in their grisly experiments. Why? Because we earthlings have no other choice. The aliens at Dulce are all-powerful. They can destroy the planet in a snap. They already have millions of humans under mind control, and as they’ve been here for hundreds if not thousands of years, they actually claim that Earth is their planet. So sometime in the 1950s, the U.S. government was given an ultimatum: Either enter into an unholy alliance with the blood-feasting ETs or face a horrifying alternative.
The United States chose the unholy alliance.
* * *
What’s actually inside the Dulce complex? A few unauthorized humans have been in there and lived to tell about it.
They report one level is nicknamed “Nightmare Hall.” It is here that the ETs do their bizarre crossbreeding experiments. Found within are multilegged creatures best described as half human, half octopus. There are reptiles covered with fur yet possessing human hands. There are various kinds of human lizards plus fish, birds and mice so grotesquely mutated they are unrecognizable.
The Dulce complex is said to be nearly impenetrable. The security forces carry “flashguns,” weapons that work effectively against both humans and aliens. Those humans forced to work inside the complex have their own fashion: They wear jumpsuits with the Dulce symbol on the front upper-left side. And whenever U.S. government higher-ups secretly visit the site, they carry ID cards containing the Great Seal of the United States, the all-seeing-eye symbol that links all those “Harvard-types” with the Illuminati’s New World Order.
Once inside Dulce, each authorized visitor is stripped naked, weighed and then given an off-white uniform. Each doorway in the complex has a weight scale in front of it. If you weigh more standing at any given door than you did when you came in, security is called and you’ll have a flashgun stuck in your face.
* * *
But who are these nasty aliens?
By many reports, there are actually two types of ETs living inside Dulce. One species is the familiar big-headed Grays. The second is a race of lizard-like aliens some simply call the Reptoids. Though these Grays and Reptoids are in league with each other, it’s a strained relationship; they are uneasy allies at best. There are said to be as many as eighteen thousand Grays and Reptoids combined living inside Dulce Base, doing their dastardly things and preparing to enslave Earth.
And again, there’s not much humanity can do about it.
Not that we haven’t tried. In 1979, a small army of U.S. Special Forces attempted to oust the aliens from the mesa. But the attack failed, at the cost of many human lives.
Since then, the U.S. military has been forced to keep out of the affairs at Dulce.
* * *
But what about our elected leaders? What have they known about this place?
Too much, as it turns out. History says Dwight D. Eisenhower was the first president to be made aware of this silent invasion. He was forced to sign an alliance with the aliens back in the fifties. Another president, upset about the intimate help some of America’s intelligence agencies were giving to the alien intruders, told them to cease playing footsie with the ETs—or he was going to reveal the whole sordid mess to the world.
That president was John F. Kennedy.
And we know what happened to him….
* * *
What are the aliens implanting in us? Brain transceivers as it turns out. Inserted into the nose and up into the cerebrum, these transceivers allow the aliens to transmit telepathic messages and manipulate the minds of their unfortunate hosts.
These brain transceivers are used with full knowledge of the U.S. government as well as the governments of Russia and, inexplicably, Sweden. If this arrangement suggests that the United States and Russia haven’t exactly been enemies over the years, apparently that’s correct.
In fact, secret bases built and run by a joint American-Russian-ET cabal have existed for years on the dark side of the moon and on Mars. Once the aliens decide the time is right, the human race will be fully subjugated and shipped off to either of these unheavenly bodies to work as slave laborers.
But why do the aliens need human slaves, androids and bizarrely composite human-animals? As disposable beings to work on their dangerous plutonium rocket and saucer experiments, of course.
So what can we, the human race, do about all this?
Nothing, apparently.
But as individuals, there is one element we should all be aware of.
Apparently some of the aliens, particularly the Grays, have become angry with humans for eating chocolate.
According to some reports, if you eat chocolate, the aliens can’t use your bodily fluids.
So, if we all eat a lot of Hershey’s bars, then maybe we can…
* * *
Okay… let’s stop the nonsense right here.
Not that there isn’t more when it comes to Dulce Base. Just the opposite; there’s plenty more: Books, DVDs, conferences, lectures, websites, newsletters, radio shows, TV shows—it seems there’s an endless supply of stories, theories, rumors, conjecture and just plain foolishness when it comes to Dulce and the eighteen thousand flesh-eating aliens that live within it. In fact, all of the above was provided by the cornucopia of silliness that can be found via a simple Google search of “Dulce Base.”
The question is, how did it all start?
As it turns out, the real story is almost as bizarre.
With help from conversations with and the writings of two outstanding UFO authors, Jerome Clark (the multi-volume UFO Encyclopedia) and Nick Redfern (Keep Out), we can try to piece together what happened.
The Concerned Citizen
The story of Dulce Base is actually the story of an unfortunate man named Paul Bennewitz.
Bennewitz was a physicist who ran a company called Thunder Scientific Labs. This company was located next to Kirtland Air Force Base, which is just outside Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Kirtland AFB is an enormous facility today, encompassing a number of missions for the Air Force, including airborne laser weapons testing and nuclear weapons storage. Years ago, there was a place within the massive fifty-two-thousand-acre site called the Manzano Storage Facility. This was where the Air Force kept many of its nuclear weapons at the time.
In the late 1970s, Dr. Bennewitz began monitoring strange electromagnetic signals he believed were coming from the Manzano facility. At the same time, he’d been sighting strange objects flying over this same part of Kirtland, specifically above entrances to secret tunnels where the base’s nuclear weapons were stored.
Bennewitz put these two elements together and believed he’d come upon something rather startling: that the objects he spotted flying over the nuke storage facility were UFOs and the signals he’d been intercepting were coming from them.
* * *
Bennewitz first reported all this to a Tucson-based UFO research group. However, the group thought he was delusional, so they dismissed him out of hand.
Bennewitz did not give up, though. In late 1980, he went directly to the Air Force with his suspicions, saying he was convinced that the nuclear weapons being stored at Kirtland were under some kind of threat by whoever or whatever was piloting the UFOs.
Surprisingly, the Air Force gave him a sympathetic ear. Two members of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) interviewed Bennewitz at his Albuquerque home. Encouraged that the military was listening to him, Bennewitz played the investigators several recordings that seemed to indicate high electromagnetic signals coming from the Manzano area. Bennewitz also showed them photographs of the aerial objects he’d spotted over Albuquerque and reiterated his theory: that the UFOs in the pictures were producing the weird pulses over the nuclear storage area.
A few weeks went by. Then, on November 10, 1980, Bennewitz was asked to come to Kirtland itself and brief a larger group of Air Force officers and scientists.
At that point, Bennewitz must have felt on top of the world.
Right Place, Wrong Info
Bennewitz had indeed uncovered some startling information—but it had nothing to do with UFOs.
What he’d stumbled upon was a highly classified National Security Agency communication system as well as the Air Force’s capability of secretly tracking the movements of Russian spy satellites. And those strange flying objects Bennewitz had observed over the base? Most likely they were early test flights of stealth aircraft prototypes.
So, the military was interested in Bennewitz—not for his beliefs on UFOs and alien messages but because he’d actually managed to uncover some authentic secret programs. The military’s fear was that Bennewitz would speak openly about what he’d found, claiming it was about UFOs, when he’d actually be revealing invaluable information to the Russians.
The Kirtland AFOSI decided this could not happen—even if it meant Bennewitz would have to suffer as a result.
So they set out to drive Dr. Bennewitz insane.
The Government’s Evil Plan
Around this time, members of the AFOSI reportedly burglarized Bennewitz’s home. Breaking into his computer, the culprits were able to read his files and learn that the physicist had formed some beliefs that went beyond what was happening over Kirtland. For instance, Bennewitz was closely following reports of cattle mutilations in the area and speculating they were linked to the UFO activity he believed he’d uncovered. Moreover, he was theorizing that the same aliens might also be abducting ordinary citizens as well. Most telling, however, was that the physicist had become convinced this ET activity was somehow connected to Dulce, New Mexico.
This was perfect for what the Air Force was planning. They decided the best way to maneuver Bennewitz away from Kirtland AFB was to keep him pointed at Dulce and somehow convince him that his unorthodox theories were true.
To this end, the Air Force began providing Bennewitz with seemingly official information on Dulce. This included faked “official” documents containing tales of extraterrestrial activity going on inside the mesa.
