Alaskan hub for extraterrestrial operations inside Mt Hayes

The first part of this investigation into Mysteries Straight Out Of Langley concluded with the death of remote viewer Pat Price in July 1975, allegedly from a fatal heart attack suffered in his Las Vegas hotel room just two years after his “remote viewing” talents had unexpectedly revealed the existence of an extraterrestrial base deep inside Mt Hayes, Alaska.

Price is believed to have informed Hal Puthoff, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency’s remote viewing investigations at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), in 1973 about the observations he’d made outside official SRI channels that identified several mountain ranges worldwide which he maintained had extraterrestrial bases buried deep within them.

This chapter of Price’s work first came to light through revelations gathered from interviews with, and the writing of, his fellow Scientologist and psychic investigator Ingo Swann... also a key player in SRI remote-viewing projects.

Swann’s testimony confirmed some of Price’s most controversial discoveries were the existence of these bases, where human-extraterrestrial cooperation was believed to take place. According to Swann, Price was able to identify the Alaska base’s location, including the nature of the experiments taking place in what he described as a hub for human-alien research.

The pages of text and drawings Price passed on to Puthoff also identified Mt Perdido in Spain, Mt Nyangani in Zimbabwe and Mt Zeil in Australia as being locations where similar bases were located. Price’s dossier also described the nature of the bases, their administration and the “ships” and other technology centred there.

Much of the information about his revelations was also documented in Jim Schnabel’s 1996 book, Remote Viewers: The Secret History of America’s Psychic Spies, in which he claims Price described the aliens as looking completely human outwardly... although their “heart, lungs, blood and eyes” exhibited differences to normal human anatomy. Price also claimed the extraterrestrials based there had been responsible for the malfunction of several US and Soviet “space projects”.

Schnabel suggested Price believed they were able to maintain “discreet” control over humanity through “thought-transfer” abilities, resulting in them infiltrating “all governments in sensitive positions” as well as being embedded in business and other sectors.

Quite a story you’d have to admit, but could it have been enough to make 57-year-old Price a threat to the United States’ national interests? There are many who think the CIA may have reached that conclusion, with his death seemingly far too suspicious to have been down to natural causes.

Before arriving in Las Vegas, Price had attended a meeting with the National Security Agency and the Office of Naval Intelligence in Washington, ostensibly to discuss future remote-viewing missions he was to be involved in. Immediately afterwards he caught a flight to Salt Lake City, where he met up with his son who had a position on President Gerald Ford's White House staff.

After a few hours there he flew on to Nevada to meet with friends, one believed to have been a close associate of his who’d served in Vietnam. He told this associate how a mysterious stranger had bumped into him at the check-in desk of the Stardust Hotel where they were staying in Las Vegas, the man quickly apologising before disappearing within seconds.

At the time Price didn’t think too much of it but he allegedly told his friend over dinner that he’d felt a sharp pain in his leg at the same time the man had bumped into him. He also remembered seeing a person pour an unknown liquid into his coffee during his meeting in Washington but had not got around to drinking it before leaving.

Feeling a little unwell after eating, Price allegedly questioned whether the incident in Washington could have been an attempt to assassinate him and whether the pain he felt in his leg should be a cause for concern, before making an early night of it. But his fears heightened later that evening as he began to feel increasingly unwell and at about 5am he called his friend, staying two doors away, to ask him to come to his room because he’d been in severe pain and was having trouble breathing.

Price, who was coherent and not complaining of any aches in his arms or chest at the time, told his friend he’d been having stomach cramps and pain in his back muscles throughout the night. And, although his friend wanted to call a doctor, Price indicated he was feeling better and would rather just get some sleep.

Back in his own room his associate and his wife talked over their friend’s condition and decided they should call the doctor in spite of Price's reservations, so his associate returned to the room to tell him they intended to do this.

By this time Price was allegedly sitting upright in his bed, rigid from the waist up and staring into space. His face was flushed, then suddenly his body convulsed and he stopped breathing. Subsequent attempts by paramedics to revive him were not successful.

The cause of death was deemed to be a cardiac arrest, but whether it was simply a tragic act of nature or the result of dark forces has been a bone of contention ever since... as have his revelations about extraterrestrial bases in Alaska, Spain, Zimbabwe and Australia.

Aside from Price’s revelations through remote viewing, Mt Hayes has long been synonymous with reports of UFOs and mysterious disappearances. It is situated almost 300 kilometres northeast of Anchorage inside an area that has become known as the “Alaska Triangle”, which runs north from the state capital to Utqiagvik on the Arctic Ocean coast and south to Juneau, centred east of the Gastineau Channel.

The triangle is notorious for unexplained phenomena with more than 2,000 people having vanished in the area surrounding Mt Hayes over the last 50 years, with perhaps the most perplexing being US House Majority Leader Hale Boggs whose private plane disappeared somewhere near the mountain in October 1972. Despite an extensive 39-day search neither its occupants nor its wreckage were ever found.

And it wasn’t for the want of trying, after word of the plane’s sudden disappearance reached Washington it kick-started the largest search and rescue operation seen in US history up to that point, with 40 military aircraft and 50 civilian planes aiding in a search that spanned 82,000 square kilometres. The incident even prompted Congress to pass a law afterwards mandating that all US civil aircraft be equipped with emergency locator transmitters.

But nothing is straightforward when it comes to the CIA is it? Not long after the incident questions were being asked about Boggs’ role on the Warren Commission set up by President Lyndon B Johnson to investigate the assassination of John F Kennedy.

Boggs apparently had grave doubts about the commission’s report pointing to a lone gunman, himself believing the assassination probably involved multiple individuals. Soon theories began circulating that his “disappearance” may have been the result of him looking too deeply into something deemed contrary to US national interests and paying the ultimate price for doing so.

However, as many as 20,000 people are said to have disappeared in the wilderness between Utqiagvik, Anchorage and Juneau since then, leading to intense speculation about whether they were the result of supernatural causes.

One theory to explain the strange phenomena in the Alaska Triangle could be the existence of electromagnetic vortexes, where concentrated energy radiates in a spiralling cone clockwise or anticlockwise to create positive or negative effects thought to affect people physically, mentally and emotionally.

Positive vortexes spiral upward in a clockwise motion and are believed to enhance energy flows, generating healing and meditative properties that bring about uplifting feelings. Conversely, negative vortexes spiral downward in an anticlockwise motion and are believed to have a draining or depleting effect on the body, leading to depression, disorientation and confusion, while also causing electrical instruments to malfunction.

Electronic readings in Alaska have found significant concentrations of magnetic anomalies, some of which have disrupted compasses to such an extent they can be off by as much as 30 degrees. In addition, some search-and-rescue workers have reported having audio hallucinations, disorientation and dizziness.

Despite the warnings from authorities regarding weather, wildlife and environmental hazards, many of the thousands of tourists who visit Alaska every year are unprepared for the elements... contributing to the numerous search-and-rescue operations performed each season, but not adequately explaining why there are more disappearances in the Alaska Triangle than elsewhere in the state.

Could it be that these anomalous electromagnetic properties are responsible for the strange phenomena that seem to occur in the Alaska Triangle and why it is believed to be a focal point for extraterrestrial activity?

But whether extraterrestrial, supernatural or to protect national interests, the rugged and isolated nature of the Alaska Triangle makes it the perfect place to conduct operations away from too many prying eyes, with the legend and lore surrounding it providing the ideal cover to prevent the truth from ever leaking out.

The state’s indigenous heritage is rich with tales of cryptid’s such as the shape-shifting Kushtaka of Tlingit and Tsimshian lore, the colossal avian Thunderbird and Arulataq the Alaskan Bigfoot... perhaps supernatural creatures such as these able to offer convenient explanations for any hybridisation programmes that could be running out of the alleged base inside Mt Hayes.

The possible existence of electromagnetic interdimensional portals adds further credence to the triangle’s supernatural aura, further muddying the water and making Alaska the perfect location for the CIA to run any classified project it wishes... plausible deniability right down the line!
