Plausibility Analysis of Archuleta Mesa (Dulce Base), page 2

Preamble: This is a long post. And it intentionally makes no claim one way or another about any of the reported happenings at Archuleta Mesa, more commonly known as the "Dulce Base." This is merely an attempt to determine whether or not it is reasonable to think that an installation could have been built at the time. I apologize for the length, but I could not think of any way to split it up as Gazrok did with Roswell, and while some of it is rather editorial, the majority of it is relevant. Any comments are most welcome; if you find any flaws, please don't hesitate to let me know. I hope that if nothing else this stimulates some more serious thought into the area, and any criticism is appreciated. So, without further ado...

Desert Secrets

There’s something happening here;
What it is ain’t exactly clear…
—Buffalo Springfield, "For What it's Worth"

In the ufology field, like any other research area, the material falls in a large spectrum of publicity. At one end, there’s the Roswell incident of July 6th, 1947, where the military allegedly seized a crashed space craft. There’s the Travis Walton abduction case, popularized in the 1993 movie “Fire in the Sky.” The abduction of Betty and Barney Hill in late 1961 has received lesser fanfare, but is still a favorite among believers. There’s the lesser known “Battle of LA,” where the military fired on an unknown object in the early morning of February 25th. At the other end of the spectrum lay the innumerable eyewitness accounts and tales that never receive any attention at all, and often are debunked without more than a cursory glance.

Somewhere in the midst of this spectrum, towards the more quietly spoken end, lies the story of the Archuleta Mesa, commonly referred to as the Dulce Base (due to Dulce, NM being the nearest town.) While a detailed account is beyond the scope of this paper, a brief overview of the story as accounted on AboveTopSecret.com is in order.

Under the Archuleta Mesa in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, the United States military maintains an extremely confidential, multi-level facility dedicated to research of extraterrestrial beings and technology. A large number of extraterrestrial beings are said to reside in this facility, from various races and worlds. In 1979, there was a revolt of the aliens, and the majority of the human workforce was killed. While the base was closed for a brief period of time, it was eventually reopened and operations recommenced.

Regardless of the validity of the story, it does make for excellent reading. Aliens, government conspiracies, secret bases, it’s all the bread and butter of any science fiction writer. Throw into the mix the various accounts of cattle mutilations, mysterious helicopters loitering in the area, and strange lights in the skies. You now have a plot worthy of any Hollywood production team.

While the story of the aliens being held and having a small war is farfetched, prior to dismissing it out of hand one of the more mundane aspects of the story needs to be considered. Is it even reasonable for such a base to have been constructed? In order to determine the plausibility of such construction, there are several variables that must be considered.

The Archuleta Mesa, as stated above, is situated in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. It is definitely tall enough to maintain a large internal structure, standing at approximately 9,236 feet in elevation. However, the mesa stands on an intrusion of augite andesite (granite) over 300 feet thick. While this in itself does not necessarily preclude an installation being built to any depth below the mesa, it would make for the extension of the base below this sill rather difficult.

Preamble to something and that is clear. Martian Child with John Cusack really a schmuck. The Bear on the Moon and Shangrila might have to wait, well I have an ancestor, who came over on the Mayflower, so that we came here as refugees from Europe. A pale blue turquoise house, a ghost rider departed across to Tumbola (Gazrok) through the dark veil of rain and fog. According to Time, a magazine with a history of theories of Beast men.

Tha horror film with Romero the chief shaper. It moves sensationally beyond the limits of all that is hideous, revolting and loathsome. Alien Invasion Imprinting on Fox news, anything green that is good for the cholesterol. The magical sleigh base "recommenced" the government forcing us to learn a foreign language so we can see Star of Bethlehem shows in Dulce Spanish. The physiognomy of the leopard skin creature make it easier to hunt, gave Turtle and skunk "appropriate tails."

Bought on ebay like my wonderful digital camera and cheap laptop with a crack on the hinge. I like them but they both make sort of a wheezing noise. Down below Archuleta Mesa Multi-level facility you hear wheezing of monstrous Chimera's fire breathing features of a female mixed with a couger. Or a human baby with Caterpillar features (stomach form of huckleberries) crawls and builds a cocoon turning into a moth. Miniature human hands making a whimpering call.

Only Indians at the top know about it, but they are intimidated by a mastery of "Quark" who will make their life a living hell. I don't even really consider these people anything but more than mirages of this huge clown-like charade. Definitely glad that the Doctor-Professor idea that there are people coming from out in the distance with their dogs. Golden Retrievers security guards at the Rockies, fighting against the aliens (what the puck?)
