On 24th June 1947, pilot Kenneth Arnold observed nine boomerang-shaped craft flying over the Cascade Mountains in Washington - the sighting which gave [[Paul Bennewitz|BENNEWITZ, PAUL]] In the late 1970's, an Alberquerque businessman named [[Paul Bennewitz]] started to monitor unusual electromagnetic pulses from what he thought were [[UFO]]s flying above the nearby [[Manzano Nuclear Weapons Storage Facility]] near [[Kirtland Air Force Base]]. He came to the conclusion that these pulses _may_ be controlling implanted abductees, so he started attempting to decode the pulses, and thought he was on the right path. He contacted [[APRO]] about his theory, but they wouldn't believe him, so he contacted [[AFOSI]] in October 1980, where he was put in touch with [[Richard Doty]]. He filled out a few forms and sent in some tape he had filmed of some UFOs over the Nuclear Storage Facility and Doty started to feed [[Paul Bennewitz|Bennewitz]] DISINFORMATION about the US government's involvement with the UFO phenomenon, including tales of US/alien pacts, alien bases in various places around the world, and of experiments that the aliens carried out with humans to create hybrids and androids. [[Paul Bennewitz|Bennewitz]] believed all of it. Doty then got [[William Moore]] to pass on more disinformation on to him, and [[Paul Bennewitz|Bennewitz]] got more and more paranoid and eventually went insane. Bennewitz told JOHN LEAR what he had heard and Lear took this into account when he wrote his DARK SIDE HYPOTHESIS.
