In the Spring of 1990 researcher 'Jason Bishop' sent copies of the
following report to a select few investigators, and later gave per-
mission 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 resembl-
ing an 'H' with an extra vertical 'bar' through the center of the
'crossbar'.  Much has been written, especially in French public-
ations, 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 para-
normal.  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 receiv-
ing 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 investi-
gator) claimed an 'alien' base is located and that during the night 
their ships are seen entering and leaving cave openings in the cliff
wall.  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 under-
standable 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 sightings
or 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, skim-
med 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."
