ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Human researchers, not Martians, likely mysteriously mutilated cattle in the Southwest during the 1970s and 1980s.
That's what a retired police officer tells Action 7 News.
He would like to say more, but he says the topic is too "sensitive."

"It's solved. I know who did it," said Gabe Valdez, a retired New Mexico State Police officer. "I don't want to go on too much, because it's so sensitive the research that we're doing."
"It's humans," he said, "not UFOs or Satanic groups or people from Mars it was humans," Valdez said.
"It's taken me 30 years to figure it out," Valdez said. "It has been solved as far as I'm concerned,"
Valdez said he believes researchers carried out the acts using helicopters. He won't offer any clues as to who specifically killed the cattle.
Action 7 News has spent many years covering the unsolved mutilations.
In past interviews, witnesses described finding dead and mutilated cows in pastures, often with missing tongues, lips and ears.
In one case, a witness described how a surgical passage had been cut through a cow's rectum to remove all its insides.
In another case, a bull was found to have had all its reproductive organs removed.
In all the cases, there were no signs of gunshots, or of animals tracking down and killing the cows. That's what led some conspiracy theorists to promote the idea that perhaps a Satanic cult or even mysterious space visitors.
The owners of the ranch where the bull was found also said they received threatening phone calls. Their dog also disappeared. By 1985, the rancher sold all his cattle and got out of the business.
