The Disturbing Mysteries Surrounding New Mexico’s Dulce Base

For decades, ufologists have claimed that extraterrestrials experiment on humans with the military’s help inside a secret base underneath the Archuleta Mesa in Dulce, New Mexico.

The quaint desert hamlet of Dulce, New Mexico has fewer than 3,000 residents — it doesn’t even have a traffic light. But the unassuming little community is a hotbed for ufologists and alien conspiracy theorists who all believe that below the town is a secret, seven-story military facility known as Dulce Base.

While tales of the unexplained centered around regional deserts are nothing new, the legends of a New Mexico alien base picked up steam in the 1970s. It began with a State Trooper who spotted a strange craft in the sky and mutilated cattle on the ground in Dulce, New Mexico. He also found gas masks nearby, which he believed indicated government involvement.

Dulce is home to fewer than 3,000 people.

Perhaps most incredible were the claims of Phil Schneider, an alleged former government engineer, who claimed to have helped build the Dulce, New Mexico, alien base in 1979. He claimed that he and others encountered aliens during the construction, but that military servicemembers engaged in a gun battle with them — and later brokered a peace deal with the beings.

Although no hard evidence has emerged, rumors continue to circulate of strange goings-on in Dulce, New Mexico.

Early Rumors About Dulce Base

Dulce is home to the headquarters of the Jicarilla Apache Reservation of northern New Mexico and is largely inhabited by Indigenous peoples. Despite its small population, it draws heavy tourism by ufologists, who host an annual “Dulce Base UFO Conference.”

It’s important to note that the existence of the New Mexico alien base itself remains entirely unproven, even as the legends surrounding it are well documented. Stories arose in the mid-1970s with New Mexico State Trooper Gabriel Valdez reporting a series of disturbing cattle mutilations, according to Michael Barkun’s A Culture of Conspiracy.

Valdez claimed to have seen “sophisticated spacecraft” in the Dulce, New Mexico, skies near Where Dulce Base is said to lie — and to have found a mutilated cow with a dead foetus inside. This was no unborn calf, he claimed, and appeared to be a bizarre hybrid that “looked like a human, a monkey and a frog.”
