Sunday, the Vandenberg Action Coalition said "at least five" nonviolent resistance teams hiked onto the base since Friday, leaving behind signs of their presence.

Lt. Michelle Mayo, a base spokeswoman, confirmed three different instances of actions by protesters.

Activists reportedly placed a banner that said "Not in Our Name" on the base water tower near the old mobilehome park off Highway 1.

They also sprayed a Vandenberg sign, leaving an "anarchy symbol." A small banner was placed on a fence on South Base and reportedly said "We do not consent."

"All three of the areas were publicly accessible so it wasn't like they breached security," Mayo said.

Asked about activists contentions they had infiltrated secure areas, Mayo responded, "Security forces hasn't found any indication they have."

Vandenberg Action Coalition spokesman Jake Pace, speaking from the group's Los Olivos peace camp, said more actions are planned.

Other than signs, he declined to say what else activists did.

"I know they did some other stuff," said Pace. "I shouldn't say unless they want me to. They didn't
damage any property."

Base officials said Saturday they had encountered two groups suspected of trying to infiltrate the base, turning them away.

A third attempt Sunday morning occurred near Sudden Ranch, when campers were told to leave the area.

"They were not illegally trespassing so they were not cited," said Staff Sgt. Rebecca Bonilla, a base
spokeswoman.

Pace said base security troops only intercepted "people doing recon missions."

The group plans "other little diversionary tactics" aimed at disrupting base activities, organizers said.

"The reports coming back from the people on base make the security look farcical and ineffective ... ," Pace said.
