Thomas Allen LeVesque

Thomas Allen LeVesque (1948-2018) was an influential American conspiracy theorist who promoted legends of the Hollow Earth, The Shaver Mystery, and Dulce Base.

[1] According to the author Adam Gorightly, in the final years of his life LeVesque confessed to fabricating his Dulce Base tales as a form of creative writing.

In 1965, Thomas Allen LeVesque, age 16, was arrested in Long Beach, California along with three other teens; The four were charged with placing explosives in a public building.

In Shaver's story, he claimed that he had had personal experience of a sinister ancient civilization that harbored fantastic technology in caverns under the earth.

[12] The story spread rapidly within the UFO community and by 1987, conspiracy author John Lear claimed he had independent confirmations of the base's existence.

The U.S. Government, in 1933, agreed to trade Animals and Humans in exchange for High Tech Knowledge, and allow them to use (undisturbed) UNDERGROUND BASES, in the Western USA.

"LaVesque claimed to relay stories from an informant supposedly named "Thomas Edwin 'TEC' Castello" who allegedly worked as a security guard at the base.
