In July, 1982, Atwater gave Joe McMoneagle a challenge target of Mt. Hayes. 'I've never seen anything like it' he began. 'It's like walking into a place I have no familiarity with at all. It's not just something you describe. It's all brand new. There's a desolate open range of mountains.'
McMoneagle perceived a mountainous location with underground tubes and tunnels and ball shaped objects.
'The whole thing is underground and is powered by like an atomic power plant. I have seen something and don't have the rudimentary terms to describe it,' McMoneagle continued. According to McMoneagle 'This is a prototype of something. I don't get an aggressive nature to this target. I don't sense the presence of individuals at the target.'
McMoneagle went on to draw some radio type of intercept things.
The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program HAARP Array is about 100 miles SE of Mt. Hayes. 'If you ask Joe McMoneagle today about the Mt. Hayes site,' Atwater explained 'he'll say it was more like a radio site or something that NSA would put up there and that he doesn't remember anything about UFOs, so we have an interesting dilemma.' 'All of the drawings and comments support a number of probable possibilities,' McMoneagle said. 'One is underground UFO Bases. The other is an Over-the-Horizon Radar site. Another would be some other form of system like the HAARP which is still classified.'
Star Gate team member Mel Riley, US Army, ret., was given this same target in November, 1986. Riley's introduction to RV happened when an agent on the ground had taken a picture of a piece of military machinery that was completely covered by canvas. He told his comrades that he could draw what was under the canvas.
He proceeded to draw what he pictured and in his terms, the feedback he received was,
"It totally freaked them out".
Immediately thereafter, Mel was asked to go to Ft. Meade. He worked in the unit as a viewer, project officer, monitor, and analyst.
He began with the impression that structure is some sort of UFO.
'A dark figure is seated at a circular control panel, another light figure is in the background,' he viewed. 'The structure is located within a mountain with a large triangular peak with a large lake at the base of the mountain,' Riley recorded.
'There are two people walking outside and two people inside the structure. Inside the structure sits something that looks similar to an organ. The word observing comes to mind. There appears to be some sort of screen or monitor.'

Mel Riley's notes from an emaildated Sun, 21 Apr 2002 08:35:22 -0500.
The structure mentioned in the Mt. Hayes session was not a UFO. It was merely a complex located within the mountain. Fortunately I have a copy of the monitor's summary. I will include it here in its entirety.
MR/24NOV86/MT HAYES:
(See sketches), triangular peak, inside domed, cavernous, tunnels, rough, natural, (AOL-like being inside NORAD), two persons outside (unable to make contact with them or gain information of any sort, fossils, music box melody, reminds me of Switzerland: site appears to be a structure located within a mountain which has a triangular peak, there is a large lake at the base of this mountain which is surrounded by high rugged mountains or cliffs, it seems fairly impenetrable, there were two people walking around outside of the structure and two people inside the structure, one of the people inside the structure sat at a circular position which appeared to look similar to an organ because of the keys, buttons and switches (the word "observing" comes to mind), it appeared to be some sort of screen or monitor, but could not make it out clearly, entity at console appears to be human in form but lacks definitive facial features, he seems friendly enough and invited me to observe his actions at the console
The above is complete and verbatum. For this session I was completely blind as to what the target was. I was given only a set of coordinates and asked to describe the location. The coordinates given were the actual latitude/longitude of Mt. Hayes, Alaska.
Hope the above info is of help,Mel
'When I saw Mel's drawing,' Atwater said 'it reminded me of the oscilloscope description given by Pat Price, his idea of some sort of a round sort of screen you might watch signals on.'
Atwater concludes,
'The two viewings above are part of others that appear to confirm the existence of these bases. These sites are described as protected from discovery, mutually supportive in purpose, and of very high technology. The later data reports the site's purpose as benign and involving precise observation, location, relay, and perhaps some navigational use. These data also indicate that the sites may not always be occupied and may be somehow connected with a deep space object.'
'So it's entirely possible that some sort of extraterrestrial civilization checks in every now and then but does not man a 24/7 kind of a crew. It's a possibility.'
'We are not alone in all that is, he continued. 'But should we expect that our companions are made of the same "stuff" as we are? I think not. It's hard to grasp the idea of a periodic table different from ours, given our closed-end perspective of physical reality.'
'I would suspect that given an alternative zero-point field environment, atoms and electrons would combine differently and that process would yield far different intelligent life than we know,' Atwater hypothesized. 'Perhaps that is why physical contact with extraterrestrials is so rare.'
'The answer may be in seeking contact on the mental and spiritual planes beyond the often-narrow confines of physical reality,' he concluded. 'For our presence here is transient and our spiritual existence is timeless.'
