No. The Luftwaffe has had a squadron assigned there since 1996.  They're 
there for the same reason the F-117s are at Holloman and the Singapore AF 
is at Cannon AFB - access to range space.  The fighter wings at both 
Holloman and Cannon need open space to train, and we have plenty of that 
here in New Mexico - White Sands near Holloman, and Melrose and Pecos 
ranges near Cannon. 
 
 
They have done training for years here, and it has nothing to do with 
UFOs..whoever said that sounds like a good candidate for Kook of the Month. 
 
Before that, they did F-104 training.  And they have sent students and 
instructors to Sheppard AFB, since the 60's well before ENJJPT.
