SUBJECT: INFO ON BENNEWITZ AND OTHERS                        FILE: UFO1813




         FROM: Allen Benz


         We have gathered some information regarding the
         individuals mentioned in the letter of December 18, 1989
         from ***************************. Throughout this report we
         will refer to two different individuals as SOURCE 1 and
         SOURCE 2. These individuals are in a position to give as
         accurate information as is currently possible. They have not
         given us permission to use their names; therefore, we are
         referring to them by the above mentioned codes.


             PAUL BENNEWITZ  - Source 1 states that Bennewitz is 62
                             years old. In October, 1989, Source
         accompanied by another person found Bennewitz' residence.
         From the tone of the conversation with Source, I got the
         impression that Bennewitz lived on or near a country club in
         the Albuquerque area. They knocked on the door several
         times, but were not allowed to enter. Source indicated that
         Bennewitz did come to the window. Source and companion tried
         to communicate with Bennewitz through the glass window.
         Source indicated that Bennewitz looked poorly. Source is not
         medically trained, but rendered the opinion that Bennewitz
         appeared to be very dysfunctional. He seemed to be lucid one
         moment and out of it the next. Source and companion stated
         that there was another person in the house with Bennewitz at
         the time of their encounter with him. They did not indicate
         any other information about this individual. Source
         indicated that after they left the premises a person ( no
         other information available ) came out and took down their
         license plate number.

         3.  ARNOLD ARIAS  - There is no information available at this
                           time regarding this individual.

         4.  GABE VALDEZ  - According to the information we have Source
                          1 has talked to Valdez on several
         occasions. Source indicated that Valdez says he has
         validated approximately 70-80% of Bennewitz' material.
         Source says that Valdez is a family oriented individual. He
         is married and his wife thinks that the Dulce UFOs are
         demonic rather than extraterrestrial. Source 1 says that
         Valdez is rather reticent about talking about UFOs at this
         time. Information gained from Source 2 may help explain this
         reticence. According to Source 2, Valdez was transferred
         from Dulce to Albuquerque and was told by the Governor of
         New Mexico, through the Superintendent of the New Mexico
         Highway Patrol, that if he (Valdez) wanted to remain with
         the Highway Patrol he needed to keep his mouth shut about
         the UFO subject.
