This issue of the NM MUFON News focuses on two primary controversial topics: secret underground government bases and the potential deception employed by extraterrestrial entities. It features articles, interviews, and discussions that aim to inform and provoke thought among its readership.

Underground Bases and Tunnels--What is the Government Trying to Hide?

This section features an interview with Richard Sauder, Ph.D., who is presented as an outspoken critic of secret underground installations. Sauder, a resident of Albuquerque, recently addressed NM MUFON. His research, based on public records, suggests the existence of numerous secret underground bases and tunnels funded by taxpayer money through black programs, which he deems unconstitutional due to a lack of oversight.

Sauder states that his information comes from the public record and can be found in any good library. He emphasizes his right, under the First Amendment, to research and discuss such topics without needing security clearance. He believes the government may use disinformation to obscure the truth about these facilities.

Why Unconstitutional?

According to Sauder, the unconstitutionality stems from the billions of dollars spent on these bases without public knowledge or consent, hidden within covert operations and budgets of other projects. This creates a "secret tier of government" operating outside of constitutional mandates.

Is There an Alien Connection?

Sauder clarifies that he has no proof of alien involvement in underground bases, suggesting that rumors of such collaboration might be government disinformation. He believes the primary rationale for underground bases is government agency survival in the event of nuclear war, a practice rooted in Cold War secrecy.

What Are They Used for and Who Builds Them?

Underground facilities are reportedly used for weapons research and development, storage, data processing, electronic surveillance, command and control, and survival centers for political and military elites. Rumored uses include secret scientific research and genetic engineering. Sauder points to agencies like the Pentagon, CIA, FEMA, NSA, and DOE as capable of building these bases. Examples cited include a bunker under the Greenbrier Hotel, a complex beneath the NSA headquarters in Fort Meade, and the Cheyenne Mountain NORAD facility.

FEMA is noted to operate numerous bases, some for presidential survivability. The Federal Reserve also has an underground center near Culpepper, VA. The article notes that private corporations, including aerospace companies like Lockheed and United Tech, are also involved in building secret underground installations.

Underground Bases in New Mexico

The article highlights several suspected underground installations in New Mexico, including those at Sandia National Laboratory (Manzano Mountains), Kirtland Munitions Storage Complex, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), and White Sands Proving Grounds. Sauder mentions rumors of bases in Taos and the Datil/Pietown area, though he lacks definitive proof, calling them speculation.

What About Tunnels? Atomic Boring Machines?

Sauder confirms that building tunnels is feasible with conventional methods, but the question remains about the number and location of covert tunnels. He discusses the potential of atomic boring machines, which could melt rock, and mentions LANL's work on such technologies, though patents exist without documented use.

Sauder's core message is that a "political underground" exists within the U.S., corrupting the government from within. He is scheduled to speak at upcoming UFO expos.

Lizard Lies: Exploring the Things the ETs Tell Us

This article, which first appeared in "The View from Hermit's Peak," posits that extraterrestrials (ETs) involved in human contact and abductions may be deceptive. The author assumes contact is real and that ETs possess superior technology but lie about their origins and intentions.

The author argues that while amateurs might be forgiven for believing alien accounts, seasoned researchers should recognize the pattern of deception. ETs have claimed origins from various places, including planets within our solar system, other star systems, and even "other dimensions" or "far into our future." The author finds these claims often absurd and suggests that humans may be given a "snow job" rather than genuine information.

Why Tell Untrue Stories?

The author questions why aliens would tell untruths if they possess advanced technology and mind-reading capabilities. This suggests a hidden agenda, and the author's main point is that if aliens lie about their origins, their other communications, including telepathic messages and visions, cannot be trusted.

Warnings of Catastrophe

A common theme in abduction literature is warnings of impending catastrophes. However, the author notes the lack of consistency in these warnings, with details varying widely among abductees. Citing works by Karla Turner and John Mack, the article lists various predicted disasters, including general destruction, planetary tilting, ecological collapse, nuclear war, and disease outbreaks.

The author questions why these warnings should be believed if the aliens are known liars. The inconsistency in the messages makes them difficult to accept. Karla Turner's aliens reportedly use deception to make humans believe in imminent danger, thus making them receptive to the aliens' offer of salvation, possibly at the cost of human birthright.

The article concludes that very little can be taken as true from alien communications, except perhaps the reality of the experience itself. The author suggests that confusion and uncertainty may be central to the aliens' plan, and understanding their motives for lying is crucial.

Calendar and Announcements

The "Calendar" section lists upcoming NM MUFON meetings and special events, including talks by Gabe Valdez, Christopher O'Brien, and Jim Moseley. It also notes the Pikes Peak UFO and New Age Expo. Announcements include information about "Saucer Smear," a free newsletter, and "The Mysterious Valley Report." It also mentions the Dr. Alexander Imich Prize Contest and a demonstration in Washington D.C. regarding a US GAO probe of UFOs. The proceedings of the Abduction Study Conference held at MIT are available for purchase. A report on a strange calf mutilation in Colorado and a meningitis outbreak in New Mexico are also mentioned.

From Out of the Blue!

This section contains letters to the editor. One letter from Miller Johnson critiques a report on the "I-beam Replica Project," suggesting that the number of characters in the I-beam might not be as unique as previously thought, referencing the Hindi, Chinese, Egyptian, and Sumerian alphabets. Another letter from Terry Endres responds to Johnson, clarifying his intention in creating the replica based on Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr.'s memory and acknowledging the value of criticism.

A letter from Kevin Randle is also addressed, concerning the Roswell incident and the Project Mogul explanation. The editor, presumably Carolyn Duce-Ashe, states her willingness to take Randle's word that he does not "endorse" the Mogul explanation but presents his written statement supporting the theory.

Limericks

A collection of limericks submitted by readers is presented, with themes ranging from alien encounters and abductions to humorous takes on UFOs and extraterrestrials. Notable contributors include Gail Aggen, Ivy Dunn, Hope Gray, and Edith Purevich.

Price Increase Announcement

The NM MUFON News announces its first price increase due to rising postage and printing costs. The April issue will be $1.50, and subscriptions will also increase.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around government secrecy, the potential for deception by extraterrestrial beings, and the investigation of unexplained phenomena, particularly in the context of New Mexico. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, encouraging readers to question official narratives and the information presented by alleged alien contactees. The magazine promotes open discussion and research into these often-controversial subjects, as evidenced by its calendar of events and the presentation of diverse viewpoints, even those that may be speculative or challenging.
