Kirtland Air Force Base
artifactDefense & Military-Industrial
A famous UFO 'underground base' scare in the 1970s was actually a smokescreen — the real secret was this Air Force base all along.
Who they are
Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
What they do
The engine identifies it as the true target that a famous UFO investigation was steered away from.
How it works
It was the classified-operations target of businessman Paul Bennewitz's 1970s-80s investigation; per declassified documents, Air Force special-investigations (AFOSI) agents fed him staged disinformation that made him misattribute the activity to the mythical 'Dulce Base,' and the site continues as a nuclear-weapons and advanced-technology research hub.
Why it matters
The engine reads it as a case study in misdirection: real classified work at Kirtland was hidden behind a fake underground-base legend fed to an investigator.
The engine's record — word for word
Albuquerque NM. Classified operations target of 1970s-80s Paul Bennewitz investigation. Home of AFOSI agents involved in Dulce Base disinformation campaign per declassified documents. Continues as nuclear-weapons and advanced-technology research hub. Report #75: the actual target of operations that Bennewitz misattributed to Dulce Base via AFOSI-staged disinformation feed.
