This week, we examine the most infamous of these alleged sites. An underground base believed to be situated near the town of Dulce, in New Mexico. A modern-day mystery, which lies deep beneath the mesa.

Back in the 70’s Missouri had a lot of cattle mutilations. A friend of mine had a small herd of about 200 beef cattle. He started loosing them to mutilations. At first he thought people were sneaking in and doing it. But the cutting was very precise and surgeon-like. The blood was drained. Then, in winter snow, he had checked his herd after dark and found them all to be fine. In the morning he went out again and found another mutilation in a field, in the snow. No footprints around the body. No blood in the snow. He contacted the state about each mutilation and they started pointing their finger at him. But surely this would prove his innocence. They still blamed him and publicly did so! I knew him well. He never would have done such a thing. The state brought him to the edge of a nervous breakdown and he quit reporting the mutilations. Then he sold off his herd and moved. The mutilations continued there. But they couldn’t blame my friend any more. It is sad what they did to him.

My dad was in the Air Force in the 90s at canon Air Force base he heard rumors with men he served with about alien bases . My dad saw many ufos in his many year in the Air Force it’s pretty much impossible to live in New Mexico and not see something mysterious in the sky you can’t explain. Sadly my dad is gone now I think he would have loved to see this video .

i used to be stationed at nellis and was so disappointed that all i did was pack boxes as a run of the mill airman when i knew that there was probably at least one person somewhere on the same base at any given time who had seen things i could scarcely believe. the osi building was literally right next to my work, as in you could touch one wall of the warehouse and a wall of the osi building at the same time. plain clothes dudes with m4s. they probably had access to some privileged info. ugh. i would stare out of the bay door while packing boxes looking at the peaks of mt. charleston, hoping to see strange lights above the range, but of course never did. i wish i could wake up tomorrow and be back at my first day of bmt again. i'd do everything different and dedicate my life to becoming a spook lol. oh well. just wanted to vent. thanks if you read that far. and life doesn't suck now or anything, i'm still on the path to achieving different dreams and that brings me solace, but i'll always have this one that never panned out.

The desert at night has always unnerved me. The massive temperature changes from broiling heat to close to freezing and back up again in a matter of hours, miles upon miles of sand dunes or sand flats that seem to go on without end, and the hard animals and people that choose to scratch out an existence in such an inhospitable place.. The oppressive darkness on moonless nights really unnerves me and I don't have any problem with or fear of the dark.

I was born and raised in Albuquerque; my best friends mother knew a few native Americans from Dulce personally. She said that the “base” was well known by the tribe, they had witnessed strange things in the area and that they had found massive metal grates in the middle of the mesa where nobody lived, basically in the middle of nowhere. I’m convinced this underground base exists.

I am a New Mexican! Everyone I know that has had to commute near Dulce has seen UFOs! Love your channel so much ❤

Old guy I used to know told me stories of strange lights he used to see out in the desert when he was a roughneck working the oil rigs in southern New Mexico in the 1950s. He'd often drive between towns like Hobbs and Artesia where he was born going from small town to small town to party and he'd be out on the roads late at night. And he saw strange lights he could never figure out. Used to have a job riding the fences at White Sands to make sure they were up. Interesting times in New Mexico.

In the Air Force I heard stories about the bases out west from people who were stationed there, mainly Kirtland and Nellis. One was from a guy who I think was at Kirtland. They were on duty one day (or night) when they came across a manhole in the middle of a field that they didn't know was there and had no idea what it was for. They opened it and found it was at the top of a tall ladder going deep into the ground. The other guy decided to climb and see what was down there but after several minutes he gave up because of how far down the ladder went and never saw what was at the bottom.

From hearing the story I figured he had come across an abandoned mine shaft or maybe an underground storage facility for hazardous waste. If it was something more though, it's unlikely he would have known that. Even as security forces many bases had facilities that we were only allowed to enter if building staff told us to.

I can't wait for the next episode. Phil Schneider was a real hero trying to get the message out there that this actually happened, despite constant death threats. They finally got him but he put up one hell of a fight. RIP Phil. I listened.

Love when these come out on Sundays. Look forward to them as much as we did The Wonderful World of Disney when we were younger…..much younger 🙂

Dulce has always been more interesting to me than Area 51, because it seems illogical to use a famous and easily seen base for the military's most secret work. Dulce seems a smarter choice, as evidence of its existence is hard to find, and spy satellites/nosy civilians can't see what's going on underground.

There's a story I've seen a few times about a different battle taking place there, but it supposedly happened centuries ago, between the Native Americans and the aliens. Hopefully you'll touch on that in part 2.

Yeah I hear about this a lot in the American southwest, there is a whole lot of land to hide something underground on.

My older brother just recalled an event that happened to him when he was 11 yo and I was 6. He said that he remembered this because he just watched the Cattle mutilation special on Fox Nation. He said in the summer of 1965 (he estimates between June 25th-July 2nd) he was spending several weeks up on our Homestead Family Farm in western Massachusetts with my Grandmother and Grandfather. My mom and dad had their own house down in the nearest town where we were all usually at. So for a few days, prior to the discovery, they started to periodically get the smell of something dead in the hot summer breeze blowing down across the hay field and orchard to the west and north of the farmhouse. At that time, a neighbor farmer was pasturing about 100 head of dairy cattle up on our Farm land. So my Grandmother called my Dad up to the farm, and on a Friday or Saturday afternoon he came up with his Willy's jeep and he and my brother went up in the pasture/orchard to look around for what was causing the smell. Up in the nw edge of the old Apple Orchard about 3/4 of a mile from the house, my brother said they found 2 dead dairy cows laying on their sides spaced about 50ft apart. My brother said that he remembers that both cows had their eyes and tongues missing and had some sections removed on their flanks/butts and they seemed to have some broken leg bones etc, but no blood on the ground from the wounds. So my dad and grandmother reported this to our farmer neighbor and sure enough he was missing 2 cows. This was reported to the Franklin County Animal Inspector and two County Inspectors came up to the Farm on two separate occasions and inspected the animals and then had private meetings with the adults (my brother was not allowed to listen to these discussions). We happen to have a high tension power line pass across our land from east to west up at the north side of the farm property which was part of the Northeast Grid. The story that was given to my grandparents, my dad and the neighbor, and what my brother was told, was that some high tension tower paint crews had come through painting the towers and they had thrown their rags down at the bases of a couple of the towers and the two cows had eaten these rags and died from consuming them? My brother said some of the adults accepted this explanation but that my dad never outwardly agreed to this, and never really wanted to talk much more about it. My brother said why these two cows happened to be the only stupid cows to consume all these rags while being surrounded by delicious hay and clover grass was never adequately explained. Something to note, the Yankee Atomic Nuclear Power Station, a185-megawatt electric pressurized-water plant, was commissioned and went on line in 1960 in Rowe, Ma and was about 8 miles away from the farm, as a crow or UAP would fly.🐄🐄🛸

I grew up near Pagosa Springs, CO very close to this area. My father always told us to stay away from this area. (Especially at night) We made the mistake of chasing a herd of elk one year to far and hit the state line. On our way back to our truck. We felt watched and followed. Very Erie feeling

I grew up next to a Marine Base in California. At a local bar where Military personnel used to go, my friends and I used to question some of them about UFO's. This was around the late 80's to early 90's. One Navy pilot told us where to go to see lots of them from California to Texas, mostly desert areas. He also said, 'I'll give you this, a lot of them are ours, the more impressive one are theirs', and he pointed up. Another Navy officer told us there's massive underground bases across the U.S., DUMBS (Deep Underground Military Bases). He said Western half of the U.S. has especially massive DUMBS. Years later I started hearing about these bases and now there's lots of people who’ve come forward with info on DUMBS. I guess if you pester some of these Military personnel, some may talk a bit.

I've been a fan of your channel for years. This is PEAK bedtimestories. Greys are my childhood fear, and this is by far the most nerve racking telling of the Dulce Base story I've heard. The illustrations in this production are the best I've seen yet, and will likely haunt my dreams for a good while. I can't wait for the next drop.

[brianclingenpeel]

As a lifelong New Mexican I can say I'm honestly stoked for this one

[blondie]

These possible large underground bases must have needed hundreds of workers to construct these bases. It seems strange that none of these workers spoke about these bases or made drawings or took pics while they were there.

[WinterCedar]

The art for the "base" is literally the Ken Adam's set for Blofeld's volcano base in You Only Live Twice

[peregrination]

Can't wait until Part Two. Phil Schneider's case is fascinating yet tragic, and made me appreciate alien stories more.
