New Mexico
Of course New Mexico is famous for the so-called Roswell UFO crash and recovery in 1947. (The fact that there was likely more than one UFO crash and retrieval in New Mexico in mid-summer 1947, and that none of the UFO crashes and recoveries actually happened in Roswell itself is not my concern here.)
What does interest me is that in the summer of 1947 there was a large contingent of NAZI scientists and engineers working at the nearby White Sands Army Missile Range in south-central New Mexico. I doubt very much that that was a coincidence. I do suspect some sort of NAZI connection to or involvement with the events surrounding the so-called “Roswell Crash” in 1947, whether before, during or after the fact, and even, who knows? – potentially in all three phases.
Also nearby, is the so-called underground Manzano Base, just southeast of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Construction of this underground base began – you should be able to guess by now – in June 1947, the same year the CIA was established, the same year of the Project Paperclip memos which are the focus of this blog post, and the same year of the so-called “Roswell UFO crash” and retrieval. I doubt that it is a coincidence that all of these things happened in the same year..
Recall that the Project Paperclip memos that I cite (and reproduce in full in my book, Hidden in Plain Sight) specifically call for Xaver Dorsch and three other NAZI technicians to assist with the USAF’s “Underground Plant Program.” The Manzano Base was one of the USA military’s first, major deep underground bases. Begun shortly adter WW II. The other was at what is now Fort Hood, near Killeen, Texas (more about that a little later). The fact that this base was begun at precisely the same time (1947) that Project Paperclip requested Xaver Dorsch (1947) is surely no accident. He was perhaps the premier expert in the world at that time on major, underground base construction, having been explicitly tasked with that duty by Adolph Hitler in the closing months of WW II. I suspect he may very well have also been secretly brought to New Mexico under Project Paperclip to assist with the Manzano Base construction. Remember that we have the 1947 memorandum asking for him, he was in American military detention after the war, the Manzano Base was begun in mid-1947, and scores of other Paperclip NAZis were working in New Mexico at that time. The circumstantial evidence therefore points in that direction.
I have discussed the Manzano Base in my books and you can find information about it in them. There is also more information at this link.
Note that in addition to being an underground nuclear weapons storage and assembly factory, the base was also a Presidential underground shelter during the Eisenhower administration. I have reason to believe there is a great deal more to this facility than that, however. One of my high-level sources has told me that the Manzano Base is truly vast. This is from a source not given to hyperbole or exaggeration.
I was also contacted by a woman some years back who told me that her father made a death bed confession to his family that he had helped build an underground city in New Mexico when she was a child. He had frequently gone away from the family on work related business for prolonged periods of time in the post-WW II period, and never explained to the family the reason for his his long absences. But as he lay dying he opened up and the story poured out. He described an elaborate, almost sci-fi sort of underground city with advanced features that most buildings don’t have even today, such as light switches embedded in the walls that you merely waved your hand at to turn on or off.
I have spoken to others who have been inside this facility, including one man who helped with the construction in the 1940s and 1950s. He was a life-long hard rock miner for the USA government. He told me that when he and his crew went into the mountain to begin their shifts they were always blindfolded. When they were shifted underground from one part of the mountain to another, they were always blindfolded. In other words, not even the men who excavated the tunnels and chambers of the Manzano Base knew the lay-out of the underground base they had built.
One of the stories I heard more than once is that the Manzano Base also includes an subterranean air base for jet fighters that can be scrambled from an underground runway and launched right from the side of the mountain through a camouflaged opening. While I cannot say if this is true or not, what is true is that there has been documented UFO activity in and around the Manzano Base in past years.
I definitely think that the Manzano Base must be considered a prime candidate to be the underground UFO base depicted in the 1955 LOOK Magazine UFO article, because it is located in western, mountainous terrain, covered by a coniferous forest that closely resembles the illustration that accompanies the LOOK article.
There are also underground facilities beneath White Sands Missile Range, where the Operation Paperclip NAZIs worked. My research indicates this includes at a minimum underground laser R&D facilities, and extensive, deep underground tunnels.
I lived in New Mexico for several years and I encountered many people during my time there who have seen a wide variety of UFOs and flying saucers. I also had some very clear UFO sightings of my own while living in New Mexico. It is very easy for me to believe that some, a lot, or maybe just about all of the UFO activity in New Mexcio is related to the underground bases and tunnels that lie beneath that state.
I want to say something more about the NAZI presence in New Mexico before I go on. It is well established that Wernher von Braun and his team of 118 scientists, engineers and technicians worked at White Sands Missile Range in the post-WW II period. They were put to work assembling and test firing V-2 rockets that had been brought over from Germany at war’s end. The interesting thing is that there was one and only one V-2 launch complex at White Sands, launch pad No. 33. Of course, this is an echo of the heavy importance of the number 33 in the esoteric lore of Free Masonry. This, again, is not a coincidence. There was deep Masonic involvement with the early days of NASA, and its predecessor agency, NACA. Much of this connection ran through the House of the Temple, the 33rd degree Scottish Rite Masonic Temple on 16th Street, in Washington, DC, about a mile north of the White House. The Project Paperclip NAZIs like Wernher von Braun and Kurt Debus fired V-2s at Launch Complex No. 33 at White Sands after WW II, and later in the 1950s and 1960s they worked at the highest levels of a space program with strong 33rd degree Scottish Rite Masonic ties. I don’t think this is a coincidence.
In case you are of the opinion that the New Mexico connection to UFOs is ancient history, perhaps you would like to reconsider your ill-advised bias and read the following: Haunted Roswell: Huge, Cloaking Aerial Disc Encounter by NM State Prison Corrections Officer
