The Dulce Base: A Secret Human-Alien Underground Facility in New Mexico
The Dulce Base legend claims a multi-level, jointly-operated human-alien facility hides beneath Archuleta Mesa near Dulce, New Mexico, complete with genetic experiments, a 'Nightmare Hall,' and a 1979 firefight between aliens and human security. No physical evidence for any such base has ever surfaced. The story's documented origin is far stranger than the myth: a real U.S. Air Force disinformation campaign, run through AFOSI, that targeted Albuquerque businessman Paul Bennewitz and helped manufacture a modern UFO legend.
