From 1992 to 2002 investigative journalist Christopher O'Brien covered hundreds of unexplained events reported in the San Luis Valley, CO/NM. Working with law enforcement, ex-military members, ranchers and an extensive network of skywatchers, he documented some of the most intense waves of unexplained activity seen in a single region of North America. His 10+ year investigation of UFOs, mutilations, Indian legends, cryptocreatures, occult and secret military activity and the folklore of the region are found in the three books of his "mysterious valley" trilogy and he has produced one of the largest databases of Forteana gathered from a single geographic region.
His 2009 book Stalking the Tricksters has been called an ingenious attempt to provide a unified theory that ties together and explains divergent multi-cultural phenomenal events and also provided a sobering early warning of the peril inherent in Artificial Intelligence.
