AN UNUSUAL CONFERENCE IN DULCE, NEW MEXICO

RIO RANCHO, NEW MEXICO  -  Norio Hayakawa is a resident of Rio Rancho
who believes that wild rumors may not always bring a bad name to a
community or hurt it.  Sometimes they bring curiosity seekers and even
tourism may flourish.  Take, for example, the city of Roswell.  He
says that it has raked in quite a lot of tourist dollars all these
years, despite the lack of a single tangible, solid, irrefutable
evidence that an extraterrestrial spacecraft had crashed in the desert
outside of the city in July of 1947.

But when it comes to the subject of UFOs, Hayakawa believes that there
is a much more interesting area in New Mexico than Roswell.

According to Hayakawa, Dulce, New Mexico, a sleepy little town of less
than 4000 (inhabited by the Jicarilla Apache nation), has attracted
quite a number of UFO and conspiracy buffs ever since the rumors
surfaced in the mid-80s that a U.S./alien joint biological laboratory
and base exists a mile under the town's Archuleta Mesa.  This rumor
has become so well-known among UFO buffs around the world that if one
were to do a google search on Dulce, New Mexico, the bulk of over
300,000 items on Dulce, New Mexico is related to the alleged
underground base.

Skeptical of such claims, Hayakawa, a retired funeral director, says
that he visited the town of Dulce for the first time in 1990 with a
crew of a Japanese television program to attempt to document the
existence of such an alien base.

Although he was unsuccessful in locating it, he claims that he and the
television crew were inexplicably detained by the police chief while
interviewing the citizens on the street about UFOs and cattle
mutilations.

Now, almost 19 years later, Hayakawa and a few UFO enthusiasts from
New Mexico, California and Arizona, would like to clear these
unfounded rumors.  They are planning to have a one-day public
conference in the town of Dulce next March.
It will be appropriately titled:  "The Dulce Base:  Fact or Fiction?"

Hayakawa likes to separate fact from fiction.
He says that there has not been any physical evidence whatsoever that
there is such a base in or near Dulce.
But when it comes to UFOs, most of the residents there believe in such
sightings, since beginning around the mid-70s and lasting till the
mid-80s, the entire town of Dulce was buzzed by frequent sightings of
strange lights in the sky above that community..  This is fact,
according to Hayakawa.

Another fact is that many ranchers in the nearby communities began to
report mysterious cattle mutilations and frequent sightings of
military helicopters during that time.
Some Dulce officials, concerned about these incidents, attended the
first Cattle Mutilations conference in Albuquerque in 1979, including
the then chief, Raleigh Tafoya.  And this also is fact, not fiction.

But Hayakawa believes that there could be prosaic explanations to both
the UFO sightings and cattle mutilations, although he still doesn't
have the answers.

It was during the mid-80s that wild stories of an underground alien
base surfaced....and still continues to this day, so much so that the
entire town of Dulce has almost become synonymous with the alleged
alien underground bio-lab.  The fact that Dulce is located only within
a 100 miles northwest of Los Alamos brought additional fuel to the
conspiracy buffs.   According to Hayakawa, Los Alamos is the leading-
edge research laboratory on human genome/DNA research in the U.S.

But again, Hayakawa likes to remain skeptical when it comes to
"underground bases".

Although all these years the residents of Dulce seem to have taken all
these strange rumors about their community with a grain of salt,
Hayakawa says that he would like to restore some sense of normalcy to
Dulce.

This is the reason why he will be hosting Dulce's first public
conference on this topic.
He is intent on dispelling such rumors, once and for all, that there
are such bases in or near Dulce.
Will the townsfolk of Dulce speak up at the conference?   Will there
be some new revelations about Dulce?
It will be fascinating.

One of the speakers at the conference will be Greg Bishop, author of a
book entitled PROJECT BETA.  He has thoroughly investigated the claims
of an Albuquerque scientist by the name of Paul Bennewitz who was one
of the initial sources behind these rumors..

The conference, open to the public, will be held on Sunday, March 29,
2009 at the Best Western Jicarilla Inn in Dulce.
