Over the next few years he became increasingly interested in the UFO phenomena, initiating his extensive investigation on such topics. After holding jobs at several other newspapers, he eventually left journalism in the late 1970s in order to fully immerse himself in the study of UFOs.[2] In 1984, he published Jerusalén, the first volume in the Caballo de Troya series, the works that had garnered him worldwide attention and criticism.
During his three decades as an author, he has published more than 50 books, including investigative reports, essays, novels and poetry, and sold more than nine million copies worldwide, over five million of which belong to the Caballo de Troya series. He has also directed a TV documentary series called Planeta Encantado, in which he travels to 17 different countries in order to render his interpretation of some of the great unsolved mysteries of past history.[3]
