Paul Bennewitz was arrested on rather ridiculous charges, referred for psychiate treatment, unnecessarily, but to intimidate him, was found perfectly sane then released...He was later rearrested again and referred for treatment again, until they could make a case that they began to treat him for aberrations, and finally with electric shock treatments so as to derange his memory so that he could no longer recall what he had seen.
I remember when I was a child he used to pull out scrapbooks and photos filled with UFOs, but my father has been quite with his research. He's not the type to take out banner headlines.
He took many pictures of the construction going on, and according to Paul, he also took pictures of circular craft on the ground at this site which, as late as 1973 according to him, had large hanger doors much the same as Lazar's second hand explanation about the doors at S-4. The most revealing photos and their negatives disappeared in about 1975 when various 'fringe UFO experts' visited Paul. Also, his house was burglarized and ransacked more than once. In later years Moore, Shandera, and Torme made a meaningless tour of Dulce when they went on to Albuquerque [the real reason for their travels] to see if there was any more evidence of serious consequence still in Paul's possession that they could grab, and sure enough, he was missing some photos when they left his house.

Closeup of Black Ship:
I have taken apart their frequency spectrum and have seperated the apparent thought form transmissions - video from their view screens - their synchronizing pulses - their beam control and detection methods etc. I can receive small video images from them - their ships and their bases. I also was able to set up communications directly with them by computer. I have located their bases - measured scientifically the extent of their underground bases - phototgraphed them, their ships, their bases, their ground transporters etc. So - only a very small part, all very true - very provable - I am not unique - guess I was somehow presented with the opportunity and was able to take advantage of it. Anyone can get the same data, if they desire and make the effort.
Throw out the psychics, ESP, magic, witch craft, bermuda triangle, big foot, and all of those other belief systems, relate only to fact - the other will divert you and waste your time. Realize you are not dealing with superior beings per se, you are dealing with "life forms." They have their strengths as we do and they have their weaknesses. They may do some things in a different way but they have ego, resentments, social structure failures, moral weaknesses, logic faults, and emotions - particularly anger, joy - empathy? Sometimes I wonder but hopefully it is there somewhere. They do not respect, apparently ones privacy - both mind and body and feel they can sit in judgement in many instances - but the logic distortion really denies or tends to deny that. They have "Ships of Light" but are lacking in many other ways.
So - the following statements, are, all true.
1.) They do exist and have underground bases in New Mexico - I imagine there are bases elsewhere however all that is related pertains to only this state.
2.) They did make an agreement with the US faction very early for obtaining the present locations and various technology trades, presently in progress.
3.) The US has people at their bases. The US has advanced ships at these bases.
4.) They would have you think they are gods - they are not. Some are reasonably good, some are very bad - some display an unmigitated ignorance, others are opposite - there is a good and a bad force as in all legends and fairy tales although unfortunately in this case it is neither legend or fairy tale, they exist.
5.) They range from very small humanoids to grey-brownish large cranium, large eyes about 4 to 4.5" tall, to taller near dead white or yellowish appearing individuals 6 feet or more tall. Some are more of a greenish-yellow cast, eyes moved back, with large pupils - slit mouth - small nose - and in most cases no hair of any kind.
6.) They generally communicate by thought even ship to ship - with apparent nerve modifying implants - not ESP in the most strict sense.
You are skeptical? If it were not happening in first person I wouldn't believe it either.
Moore also described how Bennewitz was to be publicly discredited45:
“... Bennewitz was expected to wave it [the one-page Aquarius Teletype] to the press and others as proof of what he was saying about an alien invasion, at which point the document would be denounced as a counterfeit and Bennewitz would be further discredited.”
“I was personally aware of the intelligence community’s concerted efforts to systematically confuse, discourage and discredit Paul by providing him with a large body of disinformation on the subject of UFOs, the malevolent aliens who allegedly pilot them, the technology they employ and the underground bases they supposedly possess and occupy.
“The entire story of a secret treaty between the U.S. government and the aliens, of exchanges of technology between us and the aliens, of battles between aliens and American armed forces, and of aliens allegedly having implanted hundreds of thousands, even millions, of human beings for the purpose of taking over the world and using us as cattle or slaves, came about as a result of this process. I know, because I was in a position to observe much of this process as it unfolded, and I was providing regular reports on its effectiveness to some of the very people [in AFOSI] who were ‘doing it’ to Paul. And I can tell you that it was effective, because I watched Paul become systematically more paranoid and more emotionally unstable as he tried to assimilate what was happening to him.... Not long afterward I heard he had been hospitalized and was under psychiatric care.....

Bennewitz's 'Project Beta' report is available to download as a pdf right here.
An important article was written by Brad Sparks for the 2007 MUFON Symposium.. In it he details how Bob Pratt secretly taped Bill Moore's admissions that he'd been instrumental in knowingly assisting in Bennewitz's mounting paranoia. With Richard Doty, he'd been feeding him disinfo and BS that encouraged his belief in the underground alien world of body parts in vats.

On Dark Matters Radio, Don Ecker interviewed Bill Moore (mp3 right click save as). Moore depicts himself as a partially helpless participant in the whole affair in the same way Rich Doty has since. Moore goes on to suggest that two major figures in ufology were also involved. He hasn't ever brought evidence for the claim; one of the people he accused was J Allen Hynek. Personally, I don't believe him, but that's my opinion.
Greg Bishop has written the main reference book on the subject Project Beta: The Story of Paul Bennewitz, National Security, and the Creation of a Modern UFO Myth. In his research and interviews with all those involved (apart from Bennewitz), it appears that Bennewitz had been mistaking a program to 'hack' Russian spy satellites as marauding aliens.
The resulting 'dark side of ufology' is largely an outcome of the AFOSI program of disinfo practised on Bennewitz. It was like a test-bed that ultimately links in to abductions, mutes and alien bases. MJ-12 and all the hellish side to UFO theories came to maturity through this.
Greg Bishop interviewed Bill Moore again in 2005 for his show Radio Misterioso. The interview is still hiding away in the recesses of the internet. One working link is right here; you need to enter a captcha, but the site is safe and the file is clean. Listening to Don Ecker's and Greg Bishop's interviews is interesting stuff...
Moore presents himself differently to each man. In Greg's interview I believe that Moore is actually leaking disinfo long after he claims to have lost contact with the AFOSI (or Aviary) guys. I won't say any more than that until someone offers a second opinion.
Overall Bill came across as a skeptic that acknowledges something is going on. From his reports it appears that he does do his diligence with what he does present, but only goes so far leaving the story unfinished. It does sound like he has got quite a few pieces of the puzzle, but has failed to put any of them together.
I realize that Moore says they fed the disinformation but he is either lying or he didn't understand the situation because it was in 1980 before Paul met Moore when he learned about the vats (Paul met Moore in the fall of '80, the vats were learned about in the early summer). It seems obvious to me that Moore was placed on a team with Doty to discredit Paul for the respect of national security.

Hiya Kev, Bill Moore is a rational, educated man with a pretty good BS detector. That's how he comes across in any interviews and how people described him. They'd throw words like 'arrogant' around too and maybe he was? We all are sometimes. I imagine he's like any of us and gets on with people who can look him in the eye and be honest. In the course of the interviews, he drops in one or two details that *should* fall below his skepticism and they don't. Specifically, he's been clear that Bennewitz was fed BS, but then goes on to sprinkle a couple of details that are designed to leave people wondering.
At one point he adds to the idea that Myrna Hansen's abduction actually happpened and she was taken to Dulce. Later on, he wonders out loud about another researcher possibly being shown his doom via alien technology in the form of the yellow orb or a headset. He tosses this out there as a serious question when it seems as unlikely as EBEs enjoying icecream and Eastern music (another made-up element of the Doty/Moore/Aviarywhatever team).

None of this will be resolved because, although we're chit-chatting online, the origins of it all are based in National Security and the activities of people who are trained and paid to protect those interests. At the time, according to Bishop's book, it was the Starfire technology at risk of Bennewitz's antics. This technology could apparently use laser to interfere (hack) with USSR spy-sats and either access their data-stream or alter their courses. High stakes! Moreso as the Cold War was in an arm's race at this time. It wasn't the early 60-style of 'nuclear war around the corner,' but there were growing piles of nukes.
In terms of the body parts in vats; it was possibly an overlapping disinfo campaign. I say 'overlapping,' because it's difficult to see how cattle mutes tied in to the Starfire Optical Range. Rather, the apparent mutes scenario was connected to some other secret program. Doty was in there early again trying to pass on the Aquarius document to Moulton-Howe so it's likely there was defence significance on some level.
As for Myrna Hansen's account? Well it depends on where you stand on the never-ending 'alien abduction' debates. She saw two UFOs whilst driving. Her subsequent hypnosis by Dr Leo Sprinkle uncovered the vats and body parts stuff. The guy who introduced her to Sprinkle was Bennewitz (via APRO). The guy who introduced Hansen to Bennewitz was Gabe Valdez. Wherever you stand on the mutes, Valdez is central. The Sandia connection goes through Valdez and the apparent detection of cattle marked with glow-in-the-dark residue began with him and a Dr Howard Burgess. Fast forward to 04/05 and Bill Moore's states that there is/was an underground area, as Hansen described, and how could she possibly know?
To me, this is called going in circles and the limit to what we can learn.
The passage was choked with thick, tangled underbrush, yet Valdez valiantly tried to coax the truck up and on. He wanted to point out at least one bit of what Bennewitz had called evidence. "I've seen it," Valdez said, "A burned tree branch where Paul said a nuclear craft crashed up there."
Valdez now calls the Lear-Bennewitz info an 80-20 proposition: "There's 80% accuracy in that there's been a lot of military activity sighted around Archuletta Mesa," he explained. "I've seen big, dark green Chinook helicopters flying around there all the time. I don't have any proof that the military is involved in the UFO phenomena but I can see it's true that the military have been here. What they're doing I don't know.
He doesn't completely write off the rumors: "Like I told you. The information has not only come from Bennewitz, but from other people, too, who I don't think have a connection with Bennewitz. I know four or five other people, different cases, who have been hypnotized and came up with the same information as Bennewitz."
"What I saw could fly right up against the walls of the canyon," he said. "Pilots know if you do that there's a good likelihood of crashing. If the craft came from another planet, I don't know. But if we have that technology with our aircraft, we don't have to worry about our national security.
Hello Kandinsky, if we can get a hold of new information there is no limit to what we can learn, I am just asking to open up the books. Alien abductions researched by Leo Sprinkle are very debatable given examples like Mryna Hansen, and the Louise Smith, Elaine Thomas, Mona Stafford case which had no flaws, also Judy Doraty.
Good thing to bring up Gabe Valdez. I find it strange that he like William Cooper is in later years denying alien existence at Dulce. Stranger that in the 70s and 80s we can probably find him saying otherwise when Gabe Valdez said that there was and 80% chance that everything Paul Bennewitz said is correct. We have to remember that in the late 80s Gabe moved to Albuquerque, probably to avoid all the craziness. Here is a quote from again California UFO in 1989, Gabe found his first mutilated cattle in 1972.

Greyer, Thank you for coming out of the Box. There are so many stories that people did not believe before.
Also some that have never even been presented to the public. The greatest thing Shakespear ever said is that "We are all but players on a stage." Of all of the statements ever made that is the total Truth. The only thing to even prove Shakespear even exsitied is a deed to property in the British Museum. To go back and look at a case like Paul F. Bennewitz; is so great of you to do. In doing that it vendicates what they were trying to tell mankind. Our United States Government would very much like the public to believe that UFOs just landed on the White House lawn yesterday. Great thread and keep digging. F&S *****
At 5.00 a.m. on the following day, Valdez set off for the Gomez ranch. On arriving, Valdez was confronted by a scene of carnage. The cow was just as Gomez had described: three years old, laying on its right-side, and with vital body-parts having been removed with the utmost precision. That was not all. There were also strange landing-marks. Valdez recorded the details in a two-page report:
“Investigations revealed that a suspected aircraft of some type had landed twice, leaving three pod marks positioned in a triangular shape. The diameter of each pod was 14 inches. Emanating from the two landings were smaller triangular shaped tripods 28 inches and 4 inches in diameter. Investigation at the scene showed that these small tripods had followed the cow for approximately 600 feet. Tracks of the cow showed where she had struggled and fallen. The small tripod tracks were all around the cow. Other evidence showed that grass around the tripods, as they followed the cow, had been scorched. Also a yellow oily substance was located in two places under the small tripods. This substance was submitted to the State Police Lab. The Lab was unable to detect the content of the substance.”
Three days later, Valdez contacted Dr. Howard Burgess, a retired scientist from Sandia Laboratories, and asked him to conduct a radiation-test at the scene. The results were astounding. All around the tripod-marks and in the immediate tracks, the radiation-count was twice that of normal. Valdez came up with an intriguing hypothesis for this: “It is the opinion of this writer that radiation findings are deliberately being left at the scene to confuse investigators.”
Valdez noted in his report that this incident was typical of those he had investigated over the course of a sixteen-month period. “They all carry the same pattern,” he asserted. Perhaps most pertinent, Valdez had been able to determine that, in a number of cases, the animals in question had high doses of atropine in their blood-systems.
“This substance is a tranquilizing drug,” reported Valdez.

Hiya G, the Stanford case is interesting and pretty dark. What happened to them may never be known. Prior to their hypnotic regressions by Sprinkle, they were shown images of 'aliens' which seems like bad practice. I feel sympathy for the women, because they apparently experienced something that scared them and then got exploited by the UFO industry. Within days they were having lie-detector tests, regressions and interviews whilst the National Enquirer paid for publishing rights. Doraty's case was similar and her consequences amounted to the same with Sprinkle, once more, on the scene.

In my opinion, the investigation of the Stanford case wasn't good. Dr Sprinkle was a very educated professional yet showing people images prior to regression can only be suggestive. The media were involved and National Enquirer helped to pay costs. At the time there was a large prize up for grabs for the most compelling UFO account via National Enquirer. That isn't said to suggest the women were seeking that money, but pointing out an historical fact of the period and one reason why the Enquirer was there.
Regarding Bishop; why ignore him? In the 'field of ufology' whenever Dulce/Bennewitz/Doty etc are mentioned, any researcher you can name would refer to his book. It provides a reasonable explanation for why Bennewitz was treated as he was. There must have been a hundred better approaches to dealing with him, but that's how it apparently panned out. There's much more to it than we can know and it's probably pretty dark stuff...
The Sanchez' Dulce book was badly sourced and Sanchez expressed regret that his source had provided fake paperwork. In a Norio Hayakawa interview last year, the contents of the story from 'Colonel X' were ridiculous and clearly fictional. He'd woven a bad story of Sumerian tablets, Nibiru and alien bases.
It's my view that whatever was going on in the 70s and 80s was dark and involved national security. In twenty years of repeated investigations and FOIA searches, nothing more has been discovered to explain what the hell was happening. Mysterious!
I had first heard of Paul Bennewitz in 1980 when my friend Walter called me from Albuquerque and told me he had been working with Paul on electronic instruments. Walter said Paul had not only photographed UFOs, but had established a communication link with their underground base at Dulce. Bennewitz gave a briefing in Albuquerque detailing how he had seen the aliens on a video screen.
Bennewitz, an accomplished physicist, a prodigious inventor, a man of science with a wizard’s mind.
Paul strikes me as being an extremely conservative, extremely knowledgeable and reliable scientist, who was intimately familiar with sophisticated laboratory equipment. He is thoroughly scientific and reliable.
We discussed weapons used by aliens and whether or not they are used to paralyze people. Yes, they consist of a cube about 2" on a side -- called a lens hung around the neck that emits a beam. Another on the ship produces a blue light that he has seen. It comes from a device about 4' high and 14" long with grid black lines on it. The color produced is very light blue which is like ionized oxygen.
There is a shape to these things which he indicated is like a baby bottle nipple upside down, not the cap part, but just the nipple itself. (A note from Bennewitz: This shape is not the implants which are just round disks. ([On the top part of the skull]) The nipple things are worn externally as pick offs by the alien.)
