PRESS RELEASE: March 16, 2009
THE DULCE BASE: FACT OR FICTION?
Conference and Public Forum to be held in Dulce, New Mexico on March
29, 2009
Submitted by Access Media for Norio Hayakawa
DULCE, NEW MEXICO – Eye witnesses, law enforcement officers and
paranormal investigators will all meet at a conference in Dulce, New
Mexico on March 29 to discuss long-standing rumors of a secret,
underground, joint UFO/alien/U.S. government biological laboratory and
base in the area. Norio Hayakawa, a retired funeral director and UFO
researcher, is hosting the conference at the Best Western Jicarilla
Inn in Dulce. His intent is to prove, once and for all, that these
rumors are unfounded.
According to Hayakawa, stories began to circulate in the mid-1970s
when area residents witnessed "strange lights in the sky" and when
ranchers reported mysterious cattle mutilations and frequent sightings
of military helicopters. The rumors intensified in 1980 when Paul
Bennewitz, who was then the president of Thunder Scientific Labs
adjacent to Kirtland Air Force Base, reported his experiences with
aliens. Bennewitz claimed that extraterrestrials were controlling
humans through electromagnetic devices, that an alien craft crashed
near Dulce, that UFOs were regularly flying near Kirtland, the nearby
Manzano Nuclear Weapons Storage Facility and Coyote Canyon Test Area,
and that aliens were transmitting signals to him from a base under
Archuleta Mesa.
One of the speakers at the conference will be Greg Bishop, who
thoroughly investigated the Bennewitz claims in his book Project Beta.
Other conference participants include noted UFO expert Dennis
Balthaser, cattle-mutilation investigator Chris O'Brien, talk-show
host and conspiracy theorist Anthony J. Hilder, UFO skeptic Russel
Erby, and exopolitics and disclosure activist Dr. Michael Salla.
“However,” Hayakawa said, “the principal focus of the conference will
be with local residents, ranchers and law enforcement officers who
will testify about their personal experiences.”
Interest in the conference and the decades-long rumor of a Dulce base
are high. “The UFO Hunters,” a popular History Channel television
show, recently visited Dulce to interview residents and research facts
about the purported Dulce base. “Because of the History Channel
investigation, the townsfolk of Dulce are very much aware of the
conference,” said Hayakawa. “For the first time, some of the residents
may come forward at the conference to speak without fear of ridicule.”
Skeptical of the claims and rumors himself, Hayakawa is convinced
there could be prosaic explanations to both the UFO sightings and
cattle mutilations, and looks forward to the conference providing a
resolution of the matter. "There has not been any physical evidence
whatsoever that there is such a base in or near Dulce," Hayakawa
asserted. "However,” he admitted, “when it comes to UFOs, many of the
residents there are believers."
The one-day conference, open to the public, will start at 10:00 am and
will conclude at 3:00 pm. Admission is $5 at the door. The conference
will include an open public forum during which the public will be
given an opportunity to report their experiences and express their
opinions.
