Most of the people who live and work in the Valley are hard working, honest folk. They mind their own business, are proven good neighbors, and are not afraid of hard work. Most are connected to the booming agricultural business of the fertile valley. Large cattle ranches stretch across the 50-mile wide rift between mountain ranges. Tom Adams lives in the valley. His horse Lady was the victim of unnatural animal death; an animal mutilation so precise it was believed to be surgical. Alfredo Rascon is a ranch hand who was raised in Costilla County. He has seen surgical mutilations on several of the cattle under his watch.
"The animal's entire rear end, tongue, and udder were cut out better than a surgeon, and the jawbone was bleached-white," he reported about one particularly gruesome mutilation. "I have seen this many times before."
Former Costilla County Sheriff Ernest Sandoval has lost animals to mysterious mutilations. While sheriff, he and his deputies were "run ragged" investigating mutilation cases. San Luis Valley rancher Emilio Labato, Jr., has lost over 50 head of cattle to mutilation incidents.
The list is much longer: ranchers in every corner of the valley, a former New Mexico state police captain who has lost several head of cattle to the mutilation problem, and who headed a state investigation concerning the large number of incidents.
"The results of the investigation is always inconclusive. We have no official idea who or what is causing these mass mutilations. But there are a lot of us ranchers that know," he reports.
And believe it or not, the majority of mutilation victims believe their cattle are being killed as a direct result of UFO and alien activity. Many believe the U.S. Government is involved in a project with an off-world species. Many theorize the area is an active region for scientific research involving biogenetics and biomedicine.
