Juan José Benítez (born September 6, 1946) -best know simply as J. J. Benítez- is a spanish author, journalist and OVNI investigator. He received a degree in Journalism from the University of Navarra in 1965 and, in 1966 he started working on spanish newspaper La Verdad.[1] 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]

Benítez garnered him attention and criticism when he released Jerusalén, the first volume of a series named Caballo de Troya, related to the life and death of Jesus Christ. Ar early as 2000, he was aware that the entire series would be nine volumes.[3] As of May 2007, 7 million copies has been sold from the first 8 books in the series.[4] To write the entire series, Benítez travelled to more than 15 countries and searched through about 14.000 sources.[5][6] When asked about the material and sources he got to make the series, and the reason why he hasn't made them public, he commented that if he reveals such information, "people will get distracted, and that's not the intention",[7] also saying he doesn't know if he'll ever reveal it in the future. He also comments that, when searching through the information, he found "a new Jesus, a divine and human creature" and "very different of what has been told".[8]

Benítez' works, mainly the Caballo de Troya series, has been heavily criticized. Miguel Rivilla, a churh father, criticized him on an open letter, saying that Benítez "confuses the faith with his 'rational' deductions", and "debunks all that [for him] does not seem to be logic or humanly explicable."[9] He went as fas as to say that Benítez is the author of "some pseudo-scientific diversions."[9] Also, some have accused him of plagiarism when writing the series, for which Benítez had considered to be a "slander".[5][3] Javier Garduño, an escepticist of Benítez works wrote an article citing the many plagiarisms he tought Benítez made on some of his works. He commented that the spanish author had copied works from Javier Esteban's Bases de Ovnis en la Tierra, Carlos Salinas and Manuel de la Mora's Descubrimiento de un busto humano en los ojos de la Virgen de Guadalupe, Aste Tonsman's Los ojos de la Virgen de Guadalupe, among others.[10] He also criticized The Urantia Book, and how Benítez literally plagiarized pages from it to make his book La Rebelión de Lucifer.[10]

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.[11]
