Reported UFO sightings by residents of Dulce, headquarters of the Jicarilla Apache Reservation in Northern Mexico, have attracted media attention recently. Following multiple claims of UFO sightings in Dulce and stories about a massive underground joint government-alien research base in the area, many conspiracy theorists have argued that focus on Roswell, also in New Mexico, is misplaced.
Residents of the town have claimed multiple UFO sightings believed to be linked to an alleged top-secret underground alien base located under the Archuleta Mesa (Mt. Archuleta) near the town.
Despite an alien conspiracy theory tradition spanning four decades, the fame of Roswell — the site of an alleged UFO crash near a ranch in 1947 — has overshadowed Dulce.
Since the alleged UFO crash incident in 1947, hundreds of residents of Roswell have claimed UFO sightings and the town has nurtured a thriving tourism industry with a museum and an annual festival dedicated to UFOs and aliens.
A bewilderingly complex body of conspiracy theory folklore has developed in connection with the alleged sightings.
Linked closely with Roswell in the body of legends surrounding the circumstances of the alleged UFO crash in 1947 is Area 51, a remote detachment of the Edwards Air Force Base in Nevada.
Having explored the Archuletta Mesa pretty thoroughly, there's no there there, as far as I was able to determine. To read more and view the video, click here.
