Documents / FOIA release
This FBI file on animal mutilations brings together newspaper clippings, correspondence and New Mexico livestock and State Police reports from the 1970s. The clippings report cattle mutilations near Dulce, Cuba and Taos, including an orange light seen near Taos that left a powder with potassium and magnesium, the same elements found on marked cattle hides. Senator Harrison Schmitt's letter to rancher Manuel Gomez forwards State Police Chief Martin Vigil's 1978 reports and notes that Officer Gabe Valdez had found no positive leads.
