Judge Hulon Moreland passed away last December in Levelland, Texas. He was 97 years old. In the early 1960s, he witnessed the army loading trucks at Victorio Peak.
Roger Snow has mentioned that Judge Moreland also saw strange lights at the peak. I'd love to hear more about that, if anyone has any info. In her book Phantom of the Caballos, Rebecca Taggart wrote about witnessing bizarre lights that appeared in the mountains.
My grandmother grew up on a farm next to Moreland's and knew him all her life. He was a farmer who studied law in his spare time, eventually passing the bar. Other lawyers hated him because he never went to an expensive law school. My grandmother said he was always a very handsome man--just before he died, she told him he was still the handsomest man she'd ever met. He was in a nursing home the last year or so of his life, but still put on a suit every morning like he was going to the office.
Moreland tried to convince Congressman George Mahon to help the Noss family get back onto the peak. Mahon latter became a powerful politician. Interestingly, in 1964, shortly after Mahon's involvement with the army and Victorio Peak, he became a regent of the Smithsonian Institution--an organization some people claim suppresses artifacts that don't match up with the Officially Sanctioned Version of history.
