Colorado L.O.W.F.I

Almost immediately after Dirk posted the “UFO Photographed Over Colorado!” article yesterday (8th Dec 2010) he asked me to have a look at them and sent me the two full-sized images he received via email with the witness report. After a quick inspection it was obvious these weren’t the originals as somewhere between retrieving them from the camera and forwarding them to Dirk they had been opened and resaved using Adobe Photoshop. We know this because the analysis of the compression characteristics in the meta-info detected Photoshop IRB, which basically means that when any image is saved by Photoshop it strips the standard EXIF data and writes its own format of meta-information called a Photoshop IRB resource, a signature if you like.

This is in regards to the article I recently wrote about a suspicious ranch located at the foothills of the Archuleta Mesa on the Colorado side:

Here is what the National Institute of Discovery Science reported in its 1998 report.

This report itself by NIDS is even more suspicious:

SUSPICIOUS REDDING RANCH AT ARCHULETA MESA  (NEW MEXICO – COLORADO BORDER) explained by NIDS:

From a 1998 report by the National Institute For Discovery Science Report on the Redding War

Ranch at Mt. Archuleta, New Mexico – Colorado Border:

“It has been reported in the media and on the internet that the Redding War Ranch, located at 37° 2.91′ north latitude and 107° 1.44′ west longitude (GPS) next to Mt. Archuleta (straddling New Mexico – Colorado border), is rumored to be an undercover facility engaged in secret activity connected with Mt. Archuleta. These rumors further state that the ranch has eight armed guard watch towers scattered along the property. In addition, there is an unusual round steel (and air conditioned) building located behind a ranch entrance gate on the opposite side of the property (37° 6.02′ north latitude and 107° 2.85′ west longitude – GPS).

A metal plaque prominently posted on a watch tower door identified the manufacturer as Houston Blow Pipe & Steel Plate Works (P.O. BOX 1692, Houston, TX 77251-1692, phone: 713-675-2273, FAX: 713-675-5038). Having seen the towers and being interested in their origin and purpose, a simple phone call was made to the phone number above. It was learned during the phone conversation that the President and CEO of the company is Mr. W. A. Redding. Contrary to the myths that have been perpetuated, a simple explanation was provided by Mr. Redding.

1) Mr. Redding stated that the watch towers are actually hunting stands with the brand name “The Ultimate Hunting Stand.” The hunting stands on the ranch are weather proof-heavy gauge steel construction (5 feet diameter, 850 pounds est. total weight) equipped with 10 feet high steel angle frame supports, steel ladder or a steel walk-up type stairway with steel pipe hand railing, propane heater and tank, five large one way mirror-pane plate glass (hinged and latched) windows (hunters can see out, but game cannot see inside), swivel chair, and indoor-outdoor carpet on floor and side wall. Further, the stands are used for photographing game and birds, and hunting of game (deer, elk, javelina, moose, sheep and turkeys). According to published literature, the stands have been in production since 1963 and employ 75 years of hunting and 60 years of steel fabrication experience in their design for all-weather hunting.

2) The round steel building is a bunk house for ranch hands designed and manufactured by Mr. Redding’s Houston steel company. The bunk house design employs the same all-weather heavy gauge steel construction as the hunting stands along with air conditioning and fuel-oil heater. It is not currently being used.

3) The owner of the Redding War Ranch is Mr. Redding himself. He can be contacted at the phone number given above.

4) The Redding War Ranch is used to raise small herds of Beefalo”.

OR, IS THERE MORE TO THE REDDING RANCH THAN THE ABOVE EXPLANATION BY NIDS?

Yes, I think so.
Here is what my good colleague from Dulce says about this. And I agree with him:

“Based on the source of research by NIDS, yes, this was their take on the ranch years after the ranch let its defense down and allowed folks to travel through it.
From early 1960’s to late 1980’s, you could not trespass on the Redding ranch, not even to retrieve a cow.
Why?
That is the million dollar question.
And, why are all the structures including the towers, doors and windows in bunkhouse constructed of a very heavy gage steel (making them bullet proof).
NIDS continues to provide information or is it disinformation? to keep us off track, in my opinion”.

I could not agree more.
I also do not trust the National Institute of Discovery Sciences.

Norio Hayakawa

There seemed to be a metallic hangar-like building in the ranch and, if that is the case, then most likely a landing strip behind it.
There were some small buildings in the ranch, along with four or five metallic (bullet-proof?) hunting-towers that seem to guard the area. Those hunting towers definitely seemed out of place in such an area.

I am pretty sure that I know who Norio went with on this trip because he did a presentation for our UFO group last Spring and he brought photos of these “hunting towers.”  He wishes to remain anon for now which is fine.  Anyhow, anyone that has ever seen a deer stand or hunting tower would see that these are very strange.  The one I saw the photo of was fully enclosed metal with a window.  Now the weird thing is that the window had some sort of thick plastic or glass in it, so if those were deer stands — there was nowhere to shoot from, which makes it pretty unlikely that is what they were used for.
