The Paul Bennewitz Affair
Paul Bennewitz was a successful businessman, pilot and electronics expert who lived near Kirtland Air Force Base and became convinced he was intercepting communications from extraterrestrials. What started with strange lights and bizarre radio signals quickly exploded into claims involving alien abductions, implants, underground bases, cattle mutilations, government-alien treaties, Dulce Base and even an underground war between humans and aliens.
But the craziest part of the story may be what happened behind the scenes. Air Force intelligence figures, including Richard Doty, allegedly encouraged Bennewitz’s beliefs and fed UFO disinformation into his investigation, possibly to keep him away from real classified military activity. Eventually, Bennewitz’s obsession consumed his life and contributed to a severe mental breakdown.
In this episode, we dig into Project Beta, Bennewitz’s bizarre decoded alien messages, Myrna Hansen, cattle mutilations, alien implants, Dulce Base, the alleged government treaty, Phil Schneider’s underground battle, MJ-12, William Moore and one of the strangest alleged government disinformation operations in UFO history.
