In an effort to learn if the witness was somehow affected by outside forces, Bennewitz is then said to have rigged a piece of equipment that did record some strange electronic signals. He became convinced that these signals linked the UFO pilots with secret agents inside Kirtland. He noticed some burn spots and suspicious objects at various sites in New Mexico and he decided they must be places where UFOs had Over the years, Bennewitz's beliefs gradually became more extreme. He was visited by a steady stream of UFO researchers that included John Lear, Jim McCampbell, Bill Moore, Linda Howe, and many others. He told them that he had seen with his Own eyes UFOs swoop- ing out of the sky to abduct motorists on the outskirts of Albuquerque. He became increasingly obsessed with the subject. At the Las Vegas MUFON meeting of July 1989, and in private conversations with me, Bill Moore confirmed the above and made the sensational claim that the matter of Paul Bennewitz had been a deliber- ate part of a governmental disinformation operation. The physicist, he suggested, had innocently stumbled on a signal used in a secret Air Force experiment that was totally unrelated to UFOs. He was ap- proached by security officers who tried to get him to disconnect his equipment and to stop monitoring their electromagnetic tests. The more they did this, of course, the more Bennewitz was convinced they had something to hide (which was true) and that it had to do with UFOs (which was false). And he refused to comply. According to Bill Moore's public and private statements, the security people at OSI then decided to go along with Bennewitz's fantasy and simply to drive him out of his mind. They used Bill Moore, who willingly complied, to convince him that some perfectly ordinary heli- copters involved in a night rescue exercise on the edge of Albuquerque were actually flying saucers swooping down to abduct innocent people. And they reinforced his belief that every strange incident around the base denoted the intervention of the aliens, thus discrediting him as the source of a possible serious leak about their experiments. Some of these revelations by Moore were greeted in Las Vegas by
