                          WHAT IS THE PHOENIX PROJECT?

       The Phoenix Project is a private,  civilian,   research organization
    formed  in  1952  to investigate and correlate  information  concerning
    Unidentified   Flying  Objects  (UFOs)   and   Extra-Terrestrial   (ET)
    activities.  It has no affiliation with the United States Government or
    any  of its agencies.   Because of the nature of its work  the  Phoenix
    Project does not seek publicity.

       Staff  members  are  former military personnel  who  have  all  been
    associated  with intelligence activities,  and have knowledge of covert
    government   operations  concerning  UFO's.   Their  knowledge  of  the
    specialized   field  of  intelligence  correlation,  provide   unique
    insights into various subject matter.

       From  time-to-time and in the public interest,  the Phoenix  Project
    will  publish research reports regarding certain subjects.  A  list  of
    reports is available from our publisher.   All correspondence should be
    addressed to:

                                The Dulce Report

      In  recent years,  volumes of information have circulated within  the
    UFO  research  community  regarding  the alleged presence  of  a  joint
    U.S.\Alien base in the area of Dulce, New Mexico.

      In  an  attempt  to either prove or disprove  the  information,   the
    Phoenix  Project  has completed an intense investigation of  the  Dulce
    area. Our investigation encompassed the following:

    1. A  detailed physical search of the Archuleta Mesa by vehicle and  on
       foot.

    2. The  physical  exploration of a large area surrounding the  Town  of
       Dulce.

    3. Interviews  with  local citizens,  native American  Indians  of  the
       Jicarilla  Apache Indian   Reservation and Rio Arriba County Sheriff
       and highway maintenance personnel.

    4. A  search of County building and construction permits  and  records,
       and  interviews  to    determine  if  any large  scale  civilian  or
       government  construction  projects ever   occurred in the area  from
       1930 to the present.

    5. A  comprehensive aerial survey and airborne magnetometer  survey  of
       the Archuleta Mesa,    the Town of Dulce,  the Archuleta Mesa,   and
       surrounding areas.


                                    An Overview

    Re: Dulce

      The  Town  of  Dulce,  is located in northern  New  Mexico  near  the
    southern  border  of  Colorado.  Dulce is  located  eighty-three  miles
    northeast of Farmington,  New Mexico on U.S. Route 64.  See Map Exhibit
    1.

      It has a population of 1,648 and is nestled in a valley.  Just to the
    north and overlooking the town is the large Archuleta Mesa. The town is
    at an altitude of 6,825 feet above sea level. The main income producing
    activity  in  the  area is cattle ranching.  The business  and  service
    activities  are  typical of those needed in a community of  this  size.
    There are no military or industrial activities, large or small,  in the
    area.  See Photo Exhibits 4 and 5.

      In  order to present the results of our investigation it is necessary
    to refer to items of information,  widely available to UFO researchers,
    concerning the Dulce,  U.S.\Alien base. In the following, we will quote
    from those items of information. We will attempt to identify the source
    whenever possible. This will be followed by our findings.

    Author Unknown

    ...A  joint US/EBE facility exists beneath the Archuleta Mesa near  the
    town of DULCE NEW MEXICO.

    (1A)     This  facility  has been in existence in one form  or  another
             since 1948.

    (1B)     The facility proper is located one kilometer underground.

    (1C)     The  base is approximately 2.5  miles northwest of Dulce,  and
             almost overlooks the town.

    (1D)     There is a paved government road 36  feet wide going into  the
             area.

                                     * * *

    Findings   of  Phoenix  Project  Investigation  (PHX)   regarding   the
    foregoing:

    (PHX-1A) No substantiating County records confirm this. Local residents
             have  no memory of any government installation,   civilian  or
             military ever having existed in this area.

    (PHX-1B) Same  as 1A.  There is no record or memory of any  underground
             heavy  construction,  excavation,  or mining activity  in  the
             area.

    (PHX-1C) See Map Exhibit 3.

    (PHX-1D) See Map Exhibits 2 and 3, and Photo Exhibits 6 and 7. The road
             in  question is Indian Reservation Road # J-2.  It  has  never
             been labeled a "government"  road.  This road is not paved, as
             described  in the source material.  It is a narrow,  two  lane
             dirt  road  (barely twenty (20)  feet wide that is  completely
             open for public use.

    ...During  the occupation of the Greys,  they have established  quite a
    number  of  underground bases all over the world,   especially  in  the
    United States.

    (2A)     One  such  base (among others in the same  state)    is  under
             Archuleta Mesa,   which is about 2.5 miles northwest of Dulce,
             New Mexico.

      The   foregoing  extract  is from  a transcript  of  a   conversation
    between Jim McCampbell and Dr. Paul Bennewitz on July 13, 1984.

                                     * * *

    Findings:

    (PHX-2A) This   refers to the previously mentioned  Indian  Reservation
             Road  #  J-2.   The road at this point is at the base of   the
             Archuleta Mesa. See Map Exhibit 3 and Photo Exhibit 7.

    (3A)     Bennewitz reports he was able to determine the location of the
             underground   facility:   a   kilometer  underground   beneath
             Archuleta Mesa on the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation near
             Dulce,   New Mexico (since 1976,  one of the areas of the U.S.
             hardest hit by mutilations).

    (3B)     Bennewitz'   information is that this installation is operated
             jointly  as part of an on-going program of cooperation between
             the U.S.  government  and the EBEs.

             Back to the base under discussion. After Bennewitz briefed Air
             Force officials  on  what  he had found,  a  trip to the  area
             revealed the following data:

    (3C)     The base is 2.5 miles northwest of Dulce, and almost overlooks
             the town.

    (3D)     There is a level highway 36   feet wide  going into  the area.
             It is a government road.

    (3E)     One  can  see telemetry  trailers and buildings that are five-
             sided  with  a dome. Next to the domes, a  black limousine was
             noted -- a  CIA vehicle.

    (3F)     These limos will run you off the road if you try to  get  into
             the area.

    (3G)     To the north there is  a  launch site.

    (3H)     There are two wrecked ships there; they are 36 feet long  with
             wings,   and one can see oxygen and hydrogen  tanks. The ships
             that we got out of the trade are atomic-powered with plutonium
             pellets.    Refueling of the plutonium is accomplished at  Los
             Alamos.

    (3I)     The  base  has been there since 1948.  Some of the  disks  are
             piloted by the NSA.

    (3J)     The base is 4,000  feet long

    (3K)     and helicopters are  going in and out of there  all  the time.
             When  it became known that Bennewitz  was familiar with  this,
             the mutilations in the area stopped.

    (3L)     In  1979,  something happened and the  base  was   temporarily
             closed. There was an argument over weapons and our people were
             chased out.  The aliens killed 66  of our people,  and 44  got
             away.

             One  of  the people who in fact got away was a CIA agent  who,
             before leaving,  made some notes, photos, and videotapes,  and
             went into hiding. He has been in hiding ever since,  and every
             six months he contacts each of  five people he left copies  of
             the  material with.  His instructions were  that if he  missed
             four  successive contacts,  the people could do whatever  they
             want with the material and was received in December,  1987, by
             many researchers. The "Dulce Papers" were composed of 25 black
             and white photos,  a  videotape with no dialogue and a set  of
             papers  that  included  technical information   regarding  the
             jointly occupied (U.S.-Alien)   facility one kilometer beneath
             the Archuleta Mesa near Dulce, New Mexico.

    (3M)     The facility still exists and is currently operational.


                                     * * *

    Findings:

    (PHX-3A) Refer to (PHX-1A & 1B.

    (PHX-3B) Refer to (PHX-1A & 1B). There are no records, nor is there any
             physical evidence to substantiate this allegation.

    (PHX-3C) The  elevation  at the location described,  where  Reservation
             Road  J-2   crosses the Navajo River,  is not high  enough  to
             overlook  the Town of Dulce.  The road is not level and it  is
             not 36-feet wide. See Map Exhibit 2.

    (PHX-3D) See  (PHX-1D).   The road is not level and it is  not  36-feet
             wide.  It is a narrow dirt road that climbs, slowly, with many
             curves,  around the base of Archuleta Mesa.  See Photo Exhibit
             7.

    (PHX-3E) Local  residents and County highway maintenance crews have  no
             memory of any such trailers, buildings, domes or limousines in
             this area.  Physical  investigation  reveals there is no  area
             where such structures ever existed.

    (PHX-3F) The  Rio  Arriba County Sheriff's Office has no record of  any
             reports,  ever,  having been filed by motorists forced off the
             road by "any" type vehicle. As mentioned previously, this is a
             Reservation Road used by the Indians, ranchers and the general
             public.   If  any occurrences,  such as those  described  ever
             occurred,   it  would have been  the  "talk-of-the-town."   No
             residents interviewed, remember any such events.

    (PHX-3G) Physical investigation, on foot, failed to reveal any evidence
             of a "launch" site at the location described.

    (PHX-3H) There are no physical indications of any kind,  and there  are
             no  cleared  areas of sufficient size to provide space for two
             crashed  ships  or the oxygen and fuel tanks described.   This
             includes both sides of the road,  all the way around the mesa.
             See Map Exhibit 3.

    (PHX-3I) There  are  no  indications of any such  facilities.   No  one
             remembers  any such facilities.  Such facilities are not there
             today.

    (PHX-3J) A  complete  examination of the area and the top of  the  mesa
             show no evidence of any 4000  foot long cleared area.  If such
             ever existed,  scars in the landscape would still be  present.
             See Map Exhibit 3.

    (PHX-3K) Physical   examination   does  not  reveal  past  or   present
             helicopter landing pads anywhere in the area.  Local residents
             do  not  remember any extensive helicopter activity,   of  any
             kind, in the area.

    (PHX-3L) There  is no record or local memory of any military  presence,
             garrison,  or troop movements,  past or present,  in the Dulce
             area.   Since there is only one major highway into and out  of
             Dulce,    the  presence  of  any  military  truck  convoys  or
             ambulances  would  not  have  gone  un-noticed  by  the  local
             residents. And, as mentioned previously,  there has never been
             any  major  helicopter  activity that could  have  brought  in
             airborne troops.

    (PHX-3M) Contrary to the statements in the Krill2 information, there is
             no  physical indication of any installation in the Dulce  area
             or  in,  around or underneath the Archuleta Mesa.  Both ground
             and  aerial  surveys  do not indicate any  suspicious  terrain
             features.

             An airborne magnetometer survey  of the described areas reveal
             no unusual underground features that could be interpreted as a
             large underground base.  If an underground base was located 1-
             KM  beneath the Archuleta Mesa,  and it was 3-KM wide by  8-KM
             long, its presence would be revealed by the magnetometer.  Any
             underground  facility  of the size described would  be  easily
             detected even if it was buried 5-KM below the mesa.  It  would
             be  more  than obvious.  It would "shout"  its presence.   The
             Magnetometer  Contour  Chart indicates no  hidden  underground
             facility or any unusual excavations or caverns. See Exhibit-9.

    PROJECT BETA
    BY DR. PAUL BENNEWITZ

    (4A)     numerous  road blocks extend northward.

    (4B)     Maintained   road   some  thirty  feet  wide   and   servicing
             facilities, tanks,  etc.  There is also an apparent foundation
             for another helo pad______

    (4C)     human housing, and another black limousine with tracks leading
             to it west of the road.

             ...The  total  alien basing area apparently  contains  several
             cultures,   (all under the designation 'unity')

    (4D)     and  is  approx  3km wide by 8km long and is  located  in  the
             middle  of nowhere on the Jicarilla Indian Reservation west of
             Dulce, NM.

             ...Based  on the number of ships presently in this area,   the
             total  alien population is estimated to be at least 2,000  and
             most likely more.

                              ----- Logistical plans -----

             ...initial   logistics  would  indicate  a  plan  sequentially
             implemented   as  follows:    This plan does not  include  all
             requirements  and  preparatory safety  measures to be employed
             by  the ground force;   however,   if  Air Force  Intelligence
             desires  to  pursue the approaches suggested in  this  report,
             each significant requirement will be discussed in depth.

    (4E)     The  attack  must be directed almost entirely  on  the  ground
             since  vehicle  ignition problems will  be  encountered.   All
             electrical and electronic equipment must be 'hardened'   using
             specific  techniques perfected prior to implementation.   This
             information has been checked by interaction and  eavesdropping
             on  their  communication channels _______as far as  weaknesses
             are concerned. The program would be instigated in phases:

    (4F)     1)  The first procedure would be to close the gates of the dam
             above the Navajo River.  This dam could be held closed for the
             duration.  Internal to the one cave,  there is a small dam for
             water storage. Its capacity is small.

    (4G)     There  is  also  a discharge outlet downstream that  could  be
             closed,   causing waste water to back up into the caves.   The
             water is vacuum pumped apparently by some electrostatic  means
             from the river.


    (4H)     There  is a water intake and dam upstream that can be  totally
             cut off and the water re-routed to Chama, New Mexico.

                                     * * *

    Findings:

    (PHX-4A) There  are no roadblocks on any roads in the Dulce Area.   See
             Photo  Exhibit  7,  of Reservation Road # J-2.  There  are  no
             roadblocks  present.   According to County Maintenance  Crews,
             the  only time Road J-2  was blocked was years ago when it was
             "washed-out" by heavy rains in the area.

    (PHX-4B) Reservation Road # J-2,  2.5  miles northwest of Dulce,  is  a
             narrow, winding, dirt road.  It does not match the description
             in the source information.

    (PHX-4C) No such facilities exist.  No one ever remembers the existence
             of any such facilities.

    (PHX-4D) Investigations on foot, by vehicle, and by aerial survey, show
             no  evidence of secret entrances to any facility or a base  as
             large as the one described in the source information.

    (PHX-4E) An Electro-Magnetic "spectrum sweep" of the Archuleta Mesa and
             the  Town  of  Dulce,   revealed  no  unusual  electromagnetic
             disturbances.  The entire area was surveyed by a "Total Field"
             Magnetometer. No unusual magnetic disturbances were recorded.

    (PHX-4F) There  are  no  records of any "Dams"   on  the  Navajo  River
             anywhere  near the Dulce area or north of the Archuleta  Mesa.
             The "Dam" described in the source information does not exist.

    (PHX-4G) An  "on-foot"   survey of the Navajo River did not reveal  the
             existence of any "discharge outlets"  downstream.  There is no
             evidence of any caves. The Indians interviewed did not know of
             any  caves,   along  the river,  as described  in  the  source
             information.

    (PHX-4H) There  is no "water intake"  or "dam"  upstream on the  Navajo
             River.  The lack of any "dams"  can be verified by  consulting
             any  topographical  or aeronautical charts of the  area.   Re-
             routing the Navajo River, by damming it, to Chama, New Mexico,
             as described by Bennewitz,  would be a miraculous feat. Chama,
             New Mexico is at an elevation of 8,025  feet above sea  level,
             as indicated by Aeronautical Chart # 45  dated July 25,  1991.
             Also noted,  on this same chart,  is the elevation of Dulce as
             6,800    feet  above  sea  level.   It  would  be  a   natural
             impossibility to have the water of the Navajo River  re-routed
             to  Chama,   as  the water would have flow  up-hill  over  the
             Continental   Divide  that  separates  the  two  towns.    The
             mountainous terrain ranges from 9,025 to 9,916  feet above sea
             level with no obvious gravitational advantages between the two
             towns.   Such  an effort would require the installation  on  a
             monster  pipeline and pumping station to accomplish this.   No
             such  pipeline or pumping station has ever been built in  this
             area.

                                  CONCLUSIONS:

      Information from  many sources regarding the existence of  an alleged
    U.S.\Alien  Base at Dulce,  New Mexico,  does not agree with the  facts
    obtained  by the investigation carried out by The Phoenix Project.   It
    would  appear  that the information describing this alleged  U.S./Alien
    Base and the numerous facilities associated with it, is entirely false.
    This   would  indicate  deliberate  disinformation  supplied   to   UFO
    investigators  and all those interested in UFO research.  It seems that
    this  disinformation  is designed to mis-lead  and  mis-direct  serious
    researchers away from the truth.  It seems incredible that serious  UFO
    researchers  and  the  UFO Movement,  in  general,   could  accept  the
    information  regarding  a large U.S.\Alien Base  near  Dulce,   without
    making a detailed and complete investigation.

      The  facts  revealed  by  the Phoenix Project  investigation  do  not
    support the presence of a joint U.S.\Alien base near Dulce -- and it is
    not in, around, or under the Archuleta Mesa.  Perhaps there is a such a
    base somewhere else on the Jicarilla Indian Reservation, but if that is
    true,   it seems strange that the Apaches,  the local residents and the
    proper local authorities have no knowledge of its presence or that such
    a base ever existed.

      From a practical stand-point, a base as large as the one described in
    the  information supplied by the sources quoted,  along with a staff of
    2000   aliens  and their human co-workers,  would need to meet  certain
    logistical requirements.  Any sizeable joint U.S.\Alien base,   located
    anywhere, would need to meet the same requirements.

    1. The presence of a large, highly technical, human work-force.

    2. Support  facilities  for such a human work-force,   i.e.,   housing,
       medical,   recreational,  service and shopping,  and service support
       facilities.

    3. There  would obviously be work-shifts with workers coming and  going
       at certain hours.  None of this activity could be totally concealed.
       This activity would be recognized by other people in the area.

    4. Such  a  base would require operating supplies which  would  require
       incoming  freight shipments.  Delivering such supplies would require
       delivery trucks or some form of air transport.  Such activity,  on a
       regular basis, would not go un-noticed by local residents.

    5. If  such a base existed,  above ground or underground,  there  would
       need to be security guards,  fenced or controlled areas and  regular
       perimeter  patrols.   A   relationship with  local  law  enforcement
       officials  would be required.  The presence of such security  forces
       and patrols would not go un-noticed by residents in the area.

    6. Local authorities,  i.e., city, county,  and law enforcement,  would
       know if such a base or facility existed in their area.

      Please note.  None of the foregoing criteria exist,  or have existed,
    in  or  around the Town of Dulce or anywhere on  the  Jicarilla  Apache
    Indian Reservation. Nor do they exist in any other "remote areas" where
    there are suspected U.S.  or joint U.S\Alien bases. Thus,  one can only
    conclude  that  such  bases cannot remain "hidden"   in  remote  areas.
    Someone will always know or remember that something strange is going-on
    in any remote area.

      Where then,   should  one  look for such bases?  The answer should be
    obvious.   Such bases must meet the requirements  outlined  previously.
    They  are  located  in  known  areas  which  meet  all  the  logistical
    requirements.    There  are  any  number  of  government  or   military
    installations  in  New  Mexico  that  easily  meet  such  requirements.
    However,   gaining entry to such facilities,  to prove that such a base
    exists,   would  prove  difficult  if not impossible  to  any  civilian
    researcher  without the proper credentials,  security clearances and  a
    "need-to-know."
