In the Spring of 1990 researcher 'Jason Bishop' sent copies of 
the following report to a select few investigators, and later 
gave permission for the report to be distributed among a wider 
readership. The transcript, titled: 'RECOLLECTIONS AND IMPRESSIONS 
OF VISIT TO DULCE, NEW MEXICO - OCTOBER 23, 24, 1988', is reproduced
in its entirety below:     

"Upon arrival I was introduced to Dr. John F. Gille, a French 
National.  Dr. Gille has a PhD in Math/Physics from the University 
of Paris.  He had worked very closely with the French Government on 
the UFO phenomena in that country (Note: There have been many 
reports over the past several years which allege that the  French 
Government is working closely and secretly with a benevolent 
hi-tech 'Scandinavian-like' human society which has colonized a 
planet in the 'relatively' nearby system of Wolf 424. Photographs 
of the craft utilized by these humans have been taken in separate 
parts of the world, showing an emblem resembling an 'H' with an 
extra vertical 'bar' through the center of the 'crossbar'.  Much 
has been written, especially in French publications, of the contacts
with these beings, who reportedly now live on a planet called 'Ummo'
and are therefore known as Ummites.  They warn against the 
predatory 'grey aliens' that have been encountered by UFO abductees,
and the Ummites allegedly work closely with another human society 
in 'Vega' who -- like the Ummites themselves -- claim ancient ties 
with prehistoric 'lost' civilizations on earth.  Much technical 
information has been included with the reports on the 'Ummo' 
contacts, and although it is uncertain what part John Gille might 
play in that scenario, he is no doubt aware of the 'Ummo' accounts 
themselves - Branton).     "He told me," Bishop continues, "that 
he has not worked in his chosen field for fifteen years, having 
devoted all of his time to research on UFOs.  Dr. Gille is an 
amiable, forthright man.  He has no reservations about expressing 
his own views on the subject.  He does hold several beliefs that 
border on the paranormal.  Dr. Gille had his wife, Elaine, with 
him.  My personal view of him is one of caution.  Until I get to 
know him better, I feel that I should be very careful.     

"Edmound Gomez is a rancher.  His ranch is 13 miles west of Dulce 
(Note: Accounts given by others state that the ranch is east of 
Dulce, but whatever the case it's safe to say that it's 13 miles 
FROM Dulce - Branton).  From 1975 until 1983 the Gomez ranch was 
the scene of most of the cattle mutilations that took place in the 
northern New Mexico/southern Colorado area (that is, the highest 
'concentration' of 'mutes' - Branton).  He told me that his family 
homesteaded the Dulce area 111 years ago and that as a result of 
these mutilations, they lost $100,000 in cattle over an eight year 
period.  One of these cases occurred only 200 yards behind his 
home.  He showed me the area.     

"Edmound was very open and discussed with me the various mutilation 
cases that had occurred on his ranch and on those of others.  Upon 
our return from the mountain trip, he invited me to his home where 
he shared with me various photographs, clippings,letters etc. 
relating to the cases.  He loaned me several overhead photographs 
of the Mt. Archuleta area.  I hope to be able to have them examined 
through image intensification techniques.     

"Edmound also told me about the many times that combat ready troops 
had been spotted in the area.  Some of these troops were found in 
areas that are only gotten to through four-wheel drive trucks or 
on foot.  (This is VERY rugged country).  The troops were also 
spotted in areas that only the Apache has permission to go.  When 
the reported 'experimental aircraft' went down in 1983, there were 
'hundreds of troops, armed to the teeth' reported in the area.  
When approached, the troops would run and disappear.     

"Participants in the Mt. Archuleta expedition were: Gabe Valdez, 
Edmound Gomez, Dr. John Gille, (name deleted), Manuel Gomez 
(Edmound's brother), Jeff and Matt Valdez (Gabe's sons). Because 
of Gabe's position as head of the State Police in Dulce and Edmound 
being a part of the community, we were given permission to go onto 
the mountain.  It is located on the Apache Reservation.     

"We left about 1430 hrs, Sunday, 23 October 1988.  We used Gabe's 
four wheel drive pickup truck to get up the mountain.  The road was 
incredibly difficult.  At one time we had to dig out the side of 
the mountain in order to allow the truck to pass.  At about 1730 
hrs we arrived at the proposed campsite.  It was on a relatively 
flat area about 300 yards from the peak of Mt. Archuleta.     

"Gabe and Edmound both told me that in 1978 there was an agreement 
between the Ute Indians (Colorado) and the Federal Government.  
This agreement consisted of the Ute Nation receiving all the 
territory now occupied along the New Mexico/Colorado border with 
the explicit agreement that they would strictly enforce a 'NO 
TRESPASSING' regulation along the border of their territory.  
Therefore, it is not possible to even cross the Ute Reservation 
without special permission from the Tribal Headquarters.  If 
caught without this permission you are liable for a fine and/or 
jail and expulsion.  There is now a road leading to the Archuleta 
area through the reservation.  It is patrolled by the Indian 
Forest Service (Note: there is reportedly a peripheral base, 
connected to 'Dulce', within the UTE MOUNTAINS of southwest 
Colorado -Branton)     

"At 1951 hrs. all seven of us spotted a very bright light coming
from the northwest at a very high rate of speed.  The object 
appeared to be boomerang shaped with a very bright light just 
below its center (one unsubstantiated source claims that the
'boomerangs' are connected to Mars -- possibly tied-in with the
ALTERNATIVE 003 scenario - Branton).  The light was a bright white, 
blue and green.  As it approached, it slowed down (obviously under 
intelligent control), seemed to reverse direction, finally 
stopping.  When it stopped, a shower of what appeared to be sparks 
were emitted from each end of the boomerang, and then it began 
moving forward again and disappeared from sight at a very high 
rate of speed.  All this took place in approximately 10 to 15 
seconds.  We attempted to take a picture of the object but were 
unsuccessful.     

"About 2200 hours we climbed to the summit of Mt. Archuleta and 
watched for about an hour and a half.  We could see across the 
canyon in the moonlight.  This canyon wall is where Paul Bennewitz 
(prominent and well known physicist and UFO investigator) claimed 
an 'alien' base is located and that during the night their ships 
are seen entering and leaving cave openings in the cliffwall.  
During our stay on the peak, we saw two very bright lights on the 
cliff walls in the exact location where Paul said the base openings 
were.  There are no roads on this cliff.  The light would appear 
suddenly and then fade over a period of time until you could not 
see them.  At this time we also heard voices that sounded like 
radio transmissions.  The voices were not understandable but they 
were there none the less.  The same light pattern was seen by 
myself and Edmound Gomez as we sat on the cliff...at about 0100 
hours.  We also heard voices.  At one time we thought we could hear 
trucks moving but we could not be sure about this.  After 0200 
hours there were no more sightingsor sounds.     

"On Monday, 24 October 1988 the entire party climbed to the peak 
once again.  We were looking for evidence that there had been a 
crash of an 'experimental aircraft' flown by an Air Force General 
in 1983.  This crash was reported in the newspapers for two days as 
a small plane and then hushed up.  The craft was rumored to be a 
captured UFO, flown by Americans.  We were hoping to prove that 
there indeed had been a crash but also to find some physical 
evidence.     

"Dr. Bennewitz reported that the craft had clipped off a large tree 
in it's descent, had hit another tree, regained altitude, skimmed 
over the peak of Archuleta, (and) hit a third tree in the valley 
north of the peak.  It was then reported to have hit the ground, 
flipped over twice and came to rest.  We found the trees as 
reported by Bennewitz.  They were all in line with each other and 
the final resting place.  The first tree was about 40 inches in 
diameter.  It was hit about 30 feet off the ground.  There was no 
fire.  I have taken samples of this tree for analysis.  The other 
two trees were smaller (approximately 12 to 20 inches in diameter). 
There was evidence of fire with these.  Samples of (these) trees
were also taken.  Between the second tree and the third tree we 
found large pieces of what appeared to be part of the first tree.  
One piece was burnt while next to it was one that was had not been 
burned.  Samples were taken.  While searching for physical evidence, 
a standard issue style ball-point pen was found.  This is of the 
same type used by the U.S. Government but can also be purchased by 
the general public.  Strange to have been found in such a remote 
place as this canyon.  The alleged crash area showed a large 
SEMI-CIRCULAR area with new vegetation.  The area above the 
semi-circular area was covered with new vegetation also.  Samples 
of the soil of this area were taken.     

"My overall impressions of this trip are mixed.  I believe that 
there is definitely something going on in the area.  What it is, I 
do not know.  Perhaps there is a base there.  Perhaps it is 
jointly operated by 'aliens' and the government, as claimed by 
John Lear.  Then again, it could be a US base so super secret that 
there are no fences around to arouse any suspicion... then again I 
cannot say for sure.  I do know that the evidence that we found 
and saw definitely points to the fact that something is going on 
in this area."
