Snippy The Horse & The Hitchhiker Effect with Katie Paige

About this episode

The episode explores the case of Snippy the Horse and the phenomena surrounding livestock mutilations and UFO sightings in Colorado.

Was Snippy the Horse the first modern livestock mutilation, and what really goes on in Colorado? Researcher Katie Paige of Rocky Mountain Ranch Research breaks down original APRO archives, firsthand accounts, and the patterns that separate genuine cattle mutilations from scavenger activity. We dive into the ranch’s long history of UFO sightings, portal-like anomalies, and the mysterious hitchhiker effect that follows witnesses home. A fast, evidence-forward look into one of the strangest cases in the San Luis Valley and the ongoing high strangeness that surrounds it.
