A ‘UFO base’ mentioned in a declassified CIA document has fueled a surge in sightings, turning Mount Hayes into one of America’s top alien hotspots.

Rising over 8,000 feet, Mount Hayes sits within the so-called Alaska Triangle, a region notorious for unexplained disappearances and paranormal activity.

However, the CIA has never confirmed the alien base and the US government’s stance is that extraterrestrial life does not exist. 

Locals have reported streaks of colored lights, orbs traveling at high speed, and mysterious vanishing people. 

One report came from Jared Augustin, a former security officer, who claimed he saw a glowing orb hovering in the night sky near Mount Hayes before it suddenly split into three.

‘It was a UFO, of extraterrestrial origin,’ Augustin told DMAX UK, adding that he stood frozen, shaking as the bizarre sight unfolded.

Theories about alien activity have led the public to scour Google Maps for signs of the secret base.

Some conspiracy theorists claim there’s missing satellite data over Mount Hayes, allegedly to hide the base’s location.

‘Wow, that’s a big coincidence, in a very specific shape,’ one Reddit user commented, pointing to a rectangular patch seemingly missing from the mountain on Google Maps.

Mount Hayes, which stands over 8,000 feet tall, was the focus of a government experiment involving a man who claimed he could perceive distant locations and events through a technique known as 'remote viewing'

Mount Hayes is located within an area known for unexplained disappearances and paranormal activity.

Locals have aimed trail cameras at Mount Hayes, hoping to capture proof that the area is a UFO hotspot.

In an episode of History Channel’s Missing in Alaska, a local resident named Wilbur shared footage he believed showed an alien craft.

The video captured a glowing green light hovering over Mount Hayes. Within seconds, it appeared to vanish behind the mountain.

Investigators said the object had ‘hovering capabilities like a helicopter, but could also reverse direction instantly’ — something no known aircraft can do.

Based on its position and movement, the team estimated the object’s drop speed to be just over Mach 1 (the speed of sound).

In addition to mysterious airborne sightings, more than 2,000 people have vanished in the area since the 1970s.

Notable incidents include the 1972 disappearance of a plane carrying US House Majority Leader Hale Boggs, which vanished en route from Anchorage to Juneau.

Despite an extensive 39-day search covering 325,000 square miles, no wreckage or remains were ever found.

In December 2023, Brian Erickson was reported missing after departing the village of Healy Lake on a green Polaris Ranger side-by-side vehicle.

He was last seen on December 2, 2023, at 4pm.

Search efforts were initiated, and the operation transitioned from a Search and Rescue to a Search and Recovery mission on December 6, 2023.

The Alaska State Troopers have been actively seeking assistance in locating Erickson.

Locals have suggested that these disappearances and many more are due to UFO activity near the mountain. 

However, Mount Hayes is situated within an area stretching between Anchorage, Juneau and Utqiagvik.

The combination of challenging terrain, unpredictable weather, and sparse population contributes to the difficulties in search and rescue operations. 

While UFOs have been reported in the area for decades, the sightings gained more attention when the CIA declassified its experiment in 2000. 

The report, titled ‘Description of Personnel Associated ‘ET’ Bases,’ detailed a session in which a remote viewer was given unknown targets and asked to describe what they perceived. 

The remote viewing session was part of the CIA’s top-secret STARGATE program, which recruited individuals believed to have psychic abilities for military and intelligence purposes during the Cold War.

The program began in the early 1970s and officially shut down in 1995 after being deemed scientifically unreliable and operationally ineffective for intelligence gathering.

During a remote viewing session, participants typically sketched what they ‘saw’ and jotted down brief notes about their perceptions.

The 12-page document includes several drawings believed to depict the locations of these ET bases—one sketch appears to resemble a rocky mountain.

That drawing has been interpreted as Mount Hayes in Alaska, which stands roughly 8,000 feet tall.

According to the remote viewer, he found himself mentally inside a facility beneath Mount Hayes, where he observed ‘two types of entities’ associated with the site. 

He described seeing two beings standing outside one of the bases, ‘accomplishing some sort of routine task.’

Inside the base, they perceived two more entities. One was seated at a circular console with a round, screen-like object, according to the session notes.

The second figure was performing another task in the background.
