CONSPIRACY theorists have asserted that at least 60 US troops were killed in a so-called alien battle at the site of the Dulce UFO.
In the Archuleta Mesa in Dulce, New Mexico, an underground base was discussed in claims from several UFO enthusiasts over the years.

Some ufologists even accused the alleged base of having aliens experiment on humans with the help of government officials, per All That’s Interesting.
Dulce is a small community of nearly 3,000 residents, mostly of Native American descent, and serves as the headquarters of the Jicarilla Apache Reservation.
Rumors of the base and alien involvement started in the ’70s after New Mexico State Trooper Gabriel Valdez said he saw a strange aircraft in the sky and found several mutilated cattle.
Valdez claimed there were also gas masks near his location at the time, which he believed indicated the involvement of US government officials.
Although his detailed descriptions are noted in Michael Barkun’s A Culture of Conspiracy, providing an even stranger image.
The state trooper specifically noted the UFO as a sophisticated spacecraft hovering above where Dulce Base is believed to be.
