‘RECOLLECTIONS AND IMPRESSIONS OF VISIT TO DULCE, NEW MEXICO
OCTOBER 23, 24, 1988′, is reproduced in its entirety below:
“Upon arrival I was introduced to Dr. John F. Gille, a French National. Dr. Gille has a PhD in Math/Physics from the University of Paris. He had worked very closely with the French Government on the UFO phenomena in that country (Note: There have been many reports over the past several years which allege that the French Government is working closely and secretly with a benevolent hi-tech ‘Scandinavian-like’ human society which has colonized a planet in the ‘relatively’ nearby system of Wolf 424. Photographs of the craft utilized by these humans have been taken in separate parts of the world, showing an emblem resembling an ‘H’ with an extra vertical ‘bar’ through the center of the ‘crossbar’. Much has been written, especially in French publications, of the contacts with these beings, who reportedly now live on a planet called ‘Ummo‘ and are therefore known as Ummites.
They warn against the predatory ‘grey aliens’ that have been encountered by UFO abductees, and the Ummites allegedly work closely with another human society in ‘Vega’ who — like the Ummites themselves — claim ancient ties with prehistoric ‘lost’ civilizations on earth. Much technical information has been included with the reports on the ‘Ummo’ contacts, and although it is uncertain what part John Gille might play in that scenario, he is no doubt aware of the ‘Ummo’ accounts themselves – Branton).
“He told me,” Bishop continues, “that he has not worked in his chosen field for fifteen years, having devoted all of his time to research on UFOs. Dr. Gille is an amiable, forthright man. He has no reservations about expressing his own views on the subject. He does hold several beliefs that border on the paranormal. Dr. Gille had his wife, Elaine, with him. My personal view of him is one of caution. Until I get to know him better, I feel that I should be very careful. “Edmound Gomez is a rancher. His ranch is 13 miles west of Dulce
(Note: Accounts given by others state that the ranch is east of Dulce, but whatever the case it’s safe to say that it’s 13 miles FROM Dulce – Branton).
From 1975 until 1983 the Gomez ranch was the scene of most of the cattle mutilations that took place in the northern New Mexico/southern Colorado area (that is, the highest ‘concentration’ of ‘mutes’ – Branton). He told me that his family homesteaded the Dulce area 111 years ago and that as a result of these mutilations, they lost $100,000 in cattle over an eight year period. One of these cases occurred only 200 yards behind his home. He showed me the area. “Edmound was very open and discussed with me the various mutilation cases that had occurred on his ranch and on those of others. Upon our return from the mountain trip, he invited me to his home where he shared with me various photographs, clippings,letters etc. relating to the cases. He loaned me several overhead photographs of the Mt. Archuleta area. I hope to be able to have them examined through image intensification techniques.
“Edmound also told me about the many times that combat ready troops had been spotted in the area. Some of these troops were found in areas that are only gotten to through four-wheel drive trucks or on foot. (This is VERY rugged country). The troops were also spotted in areas that only the Apache has permission to go. When the reported ‘experimental aircraft’ went down in 1983, there were ‘hundreds of troops, armed to the teeth’ reported in the area. When approached, the troops would run and disappear.
“Participants in the Mt. Archuleta expedition were: Gabe Valdez, Edmound Gomez, Dr. John Gille, (name deleted), Manuel Gomez (Edmound’s brother), Jeff and Matt Valdez (Gabe’s sons). Because of Gabe’s position as head of the State Police in Dulce and Edmound being a part of the community, we were given permission to go onto the mountain. It is located on the Apache Reservation.
“We left about 1430 hrs, Sunday, 23 October 1988. We used Gabe’s four wheel drive pickup truck to get up the mountain. The road was incredibly difficult. At one time we had to dig out the side of the mountain in order to allow the truck to pass. At about 1730 hrs we arrived at the proposed campsite. It was on a relatively flat area about 300 yards from the peak of Mt. Archuleta. “Gabe and Edmound both told me that in 1978 there was an agreement between the Ute Indians (Colorado) and the Federal Government.
This agreement consisted of the Ute Nation receiving all the territory now occupied along the New Mexico/Colorado border with the explicit agreement that they would strictly enforce a ‘NO TRESPASSING’ regulation along the border of their territory. Therefore, it is not possible to even cross the Ute Reservation without special permission from the Tribal Headquarters. If caught without this permission you are liable for a fine and/or jail and expulsion. There is now a road leading to the Archuleta area through the reservation.
It is patrolled by the Indian Forest Service (Note: there is reportedly a peripheral base, connected to ‘Dulce’, within the UTE MOUNTAINS of southwest Colorado -Branton) “At 1951 hrs. all seven of us spotted a very bright light coming from the northwest at a very high rate of speed. The object appeared to be boomerang shaped with a very bright light just below its center (one unsubstantiated source claims that the ‘boomerangs’ are connected to Mars — possibly tied-in with the ALTERNATIVE 003 scenario – Branton).
The light was a bright white, blue and green. As it approached, it slowed down (obviously under intelligent control), seemed to reverse direction, finally stopping. When it stopped, a shower of what appeared to be sparks were emitted from each end of the boomerang, and then it began moving forward again and disappeared from sight at a very high rate of speed. All this took place in approximately 10 to 15 seconds. We attempted to take a picture of the object but were unsuccessful. “About 2200 hours we climbed to the summit of Mt. Archuleta and watched for about an hour and a half. We could see across the canyon in the moonlight.
This canyon wall is where Paul Bennewitz (prominent and well known physicist and UFO investigator) claimed an ‘alien’ base is located and that during the night their ships are seen entering and leaving cave openings in the cliffwall. During our stay on the peak, we saw two very bright lights on the cliff walls in the exact location where Paul said the base openings were. There are no roads on this cliff. The light would appear suddenly and then fade over a period of time until you could not see them. At this time we also heard voices that sounded like radio transmissions. The voices were not understandable but they were there none the less. The same light pattern was seen by myself and Edmound Gomez as we sat on the cliff…at about 0100 hours.
We also heard voices. At one time we thought we could hear trucks moving but we could not be sure about this. After 0200 hours there were no more sightingsor sounds. “On Monday, 24 October 1988 the entire party climbed to the peak once again. We were looking for evidence that there had been a crash of an ‘experimental aircraft’ flown by an Air Force General in 1983. This crash was reported in the newspapers for two days as a small plane and then hushed up. The craft was rumored to be a captured UFO, flown by Americans. We were hoping to prove that there indeed had been a crash but also to find some physical evidence. “Dr. Bennewitz reported that the craft had clipped off a large tree in it’s descent, had hit another tree, regained altitude, skimmed over the peak of Archuleta, (and) hit a third tree in the valley north of the peak. It was then reported to have hit the ground, flipped over twice and came to rest. We found the trees as reported by Bennewitz.
They were all in line with each other and the final resting place. The first tree was about 40 inches in diameter. It was hit about 30 feet off the ground. There was no fire. I have taken samples of this tree for analysis. The other two trees were smaller (approximately 12 to 20 inches in diameter). There was evidence of fire with these. Samples of (these) trees were also taken. Between the second tree and the third tree we found large pieces of what appeared to be part of the first tree. One piece was burnt while next to it was one that was had not been burned. Samples were taken. While searching for physical evidence, a standard issue style ball-point pen was found. This is of the same type used by the U.S. Government but can also be purchased by the general public. Strange to have been found in such a remote place as this canyon.
The alleged crash area showed a large SEMI-CIRCULAR area with new vegetation. The area above the semi-circular area was covered with new vegetation also. Samples of the soil of this area were taken. “My overall impressions of this trip are mixed. I believe that there is definitely something going on in the area. What it is, I do not know. Perhaps there is a base there. Perhaps it is jointly operated by ‘aliens’ and the government, as claimed by John Lear. Then again, it could be a US base so super secret that there are no fences around to arouse any suspicion… then again I cannot say for sure. I do know that the evidence that we found and saw definitely points to the fact that something is going on in this area.”
