He has worked for several Texas newspapers, including the ''Fort Worth Star-Telegram'', where, beginning in 1968, he served as police reporter and general assignments reporter covering stories locally, in Europe, and in the Middle East.

In May 1997, Marrs' investigation of UFOs, ''Alien Agenda'', was published by HarperCollins Publishers. ''Publishers Weekly'' described ''Alien Agenda'' as "the most entertaining and complete overview of flying saucers and their crew in years." The paperback edition was released in mid-1998. It has been translated into several foreign languages and become the top-selling UFO book in the world. In early 2000, HarperCollins published ''Rule by Secrecy'', which claimed to trace a hidden history connecting modern secret societies to ancient and medieval times. This book also reached the ''New York Times'' Best Seller list. In 2003, his book ''The War on Freedom'' probed the alleged conspiracies of the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath. It was released in 2006 under the title ''The Terror Conspiracy''.〔'"The Terror Conspiracy"', 2006, The Disinformation Company, Ltd.〕 Marrs has been a featured speaker at a number of national conferences including the annual International UFO Congress〔(UFO Congress: Speakers )〕 and the annual Gulf Breeze UFO Conference,〔(Saucer Smear: ''Another Gulf Breeze UFO Congress'' ), James W.
