The '''Dulce Base''' is an alleged [[deep underground military base]] in the [[United States]]. According to alleged witnesses and insiders, the facility is under [[Archuleta Mesa]] on the Colorado–New Mexico border near the town of [[Dulce, New Mexico]] and is jointly human- and [[alien]]-operated.<ref name="Donovan2011">{{cite book|last=Donovan|first=Barna William|title=Conspiracy Films: A Tour of Dark Places in the American Conscious|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bJkhqU1IXHAC&pg=PA149|date=29 July 2011|publisher=McFarland|isbn=978-0-7864-8615-1|pages=149–150}}</ref> Claims of alien activity there first arose from [[Albuquerque, New Mexico|Albuquerque]] businessman [[Paul Bennewitz]].<ref name="Barkun2006">{{cite book|author=Michael Barkun|title=A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LiwjVsNBw-cC&pg=PA111|access-date=15 April 2012|date=4 May 2006|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-24812-0|pages=111–112}}</ref>

Dulce Base legends have been noted for their similarity to the Shaver Mystery. In the mid-1940s, welder [[:wikipedia:Richard Sharpe Shaver|Richard Shaver]] began writing letters to science-fiction editor [[Raymond A. Palmer]], who published them in various pulp outlets. Shaver told of malevolent subterranean beings ("deros") who pilot disc-shaped spaceships. Palmer biographer Fred Nadis "specifically highlights the tales of the supposed underground base near Dulce, New Mexico, as a prominent inheritor of the Shaver/Palmer tradition, characterizing Paul Bennewitz’s stories of alien experimentation as 'a dero scene right out of a Shaver story.'"<ref>Gulyas,Conspiracy Theories, Ch. 5</ref>

While investigating the cattle mutilations occuring in the greater Dulce area, Trooper Gabe Valdez and researcher Paul Bennewitz took a team of N.I.D.S. researchers into the mountains. Although N.I.D.S. claims to have investigated the mysterious Redding War Ranch to satisfaction, researchers have never been able to nail down ownership to anything but front companies and individuals with suspicious connections. <ref>Still unsolved – – is an abandoned ranch adjacent to the northern slope of Mt. Archuleta, northwest of Dulce, a former CIA operation? | NORIO HAYAKAWA</ref> Despite the reluctance of N.I.D.S., investigators reported seeing a circular hangar type opening (pictured) and an adjacent airstrip. This is believed to be the entrance to Dulce base - the government's deep-black facility near Mt. Archuletta. The entire property is now sovereign Jicarilla Apache land, and the base has most likely been closed for decades.
