Horror in New Mexico
Some observers cite the mid-1960s as the period when the National Security Agency (NSA) initiated secret contact with extraterrestrials. During the 1970s, Paul Bennewitz, a New Mexico businessman who had studied physics, aggressively argued for this idea, claiming that NSA perfidy allowed aliens to impose secret agendas on humans, via electromagnetic waves. Bennewitz operated a company called Thunder Scientific Corporation, which manufactured temperature and humidity controls for the U.S. military. Thunder maintained its facilities just outside the perimeter of Kirtland AFB, which is, by car, three hours northwest of Roswell. Bennewitz himself, he claimed in correspondence, bore physical scars left by the touch of an alien “surveillance sphere”—one of thousands operated by extraterrestrials to keep track of potential troublemakers.
Further, aliens had free use of U.S. military infrastructure in return for advanced technology.
Bennewitz described the aliens as “vindictive” and “warlike,” and dedicated to the creation of “mass unrest” and a principle of “total control or kill.” He took pains to make clear that these extraterrestrials were not the familiar grays linked to everyday abductions, but another, more rapacious species. The alien ruling structure, Bennewitz explained, combined elements of monarchy and autocracy.
Top leaders approached one thousand years of age. Domination of discrete generations of humans is a short-term tactic in the service of a long-term strategy. By the rules of UFO-alien conspiracy theories, the mind-control aliens are in it for the long haul.
In a dramatic stroke, Bennewitz identified a secret underground base at Dulce, New Mexico. Humans and extraterrestrials operated Dulce Base jointly, he said, for numerous purposes, but primarily for 1) the development and nurture of alien embryos, and 2) pursuit of unchallenged domination of Earth. In the minds of the Dulce aliens and their human collaborators, the greater human population exists to provide wombs and disposable slaves (many of the latter directed by implanted brain transceivers).
According to the “breeder” train of thought, generations of human-alien hybrids have cycled in and out of secret birthing hostels. Some breeder theorists describe alien activity with primates that existed before human beings—the ancient astronaut notion with a revolting twist. Many of these “hybridists” claim that human-alien breeding continues today. (Consider, however, that no reason at all exists to suggest that alien DNA would mesh with human DNA; a human- alien hybrid is impossible, just as the coupling of a spider with a centipede— assuming that that sort of romance were physically possible—would result in . . . nothing.) Claims of government-condoned vivisection and interspecies rape are not uncommon. Particularly sinister theories insist that unscrupulous humans allow extraterrestrials access to human children, for uses too awful to ponder.
In the late 1980s, Bennewitz prepared Project Beta, a quasi-military white paper describing strategy and tactics designed to render Dulce Base inoperable.
Because alien body temperature normally runs ten to fifteen degrees higher than the human norm, the creatures require frequent hydration. Control of water to the base is thus critical. If an attack on Dulce was to succeed, nearby dams had to be secured first. But even thirsty aliens would have to be physically confronted and overcome. To that end, Bennewitz promised that a new company, Bennewitz Labs, Ltd., would research, develop, and manufacture startling new weapons designed to engage the aliens and disable their powerful flying discs. With this objective accomplished, conventional weapons would be sufficient to mop up any extraterrestrials that survived.
