This presentation serves as a preview for the Snippy 2026 event that will be taking place in the beautiful San Luis Valley (August 14-16, 2026). It reintroduces the well-known 1967 mystery of Snippy, which made front-page news worldwide, about an Appaloosa horse from the San Luis Valley, whose strange death sparked one of Colorado’s most enduring enigmas, alongside the state’s rich history of UFOs, paranormal activity, and cryptid encounters. NEW evidence and never-before-seen documents, photos, and recordings have been discovered.
Together, Tony and Katie will unveil new findings, including rare A.P.R.O. and N.I.C.A.P. documents, archival recordings, and never-before-seen color photographs of Snippy, shedding light on events at the King family ranch. Supported by David Marler’s National UFO Historical Records Center, the presentation includes:
- Newly digitized photographs
- Original source documents
- Archival recordings, including Nellie King’s own voice
These discoveries preserve Nellie King’s legacy and the tale of her horse that intrigued the nation, delving into Colorado’s broader unexplained phenomena, from UFO sightings to paranormal events and cryptid legends. The state, then and now, holds a treasure trove of mysteries waiting to be uncovered.
