|Aliens and Cattle Mutilations
Aliens Gathering Genetic Material for Species Propagation
Cattle mutilation is the apparent killing and then mutilation
of cattle under unusual or anomalous circumstances. Sheep and horses
have allegedly been mutilated under similar circumstances.
hallmark of these incidents is the surgical nature of the mutilation,
and unexplained phenomena such as the complete draining of the animal's
blood, loss of internal organs with no obvious point of entry, and
surgically precise removal of the reproductive organs and anal coring.
reported event is that the animal is found 'dumped' in an area where
there are no marks or tracks leading to or from the carcass, even when
it is found in soft ground or mud.
The surgical-type wounds tend
to be cauterized by an intense heat and made by very sharp/precise
instruments, with no bleeding evident.
Often flesh will be removed to
the bone in an exact manner, consistent across cases, such as removal of
flesh from around the jaw exposing the mandible.
Since the time
that reports of purported animal mutilations began, the causes have been
attributed variously to natural decomposition, normal predators,
cryptid predators (like the Chupacabra), extraterrestrials, secretive
governmental or military agencies, and cults.
"Mutilations" have been
the subject of two independent federal investigations in the United
Although the exact nature of mutilations varies from case to case, a
typical mutilation might involve any or all of the following:
- The removal of eyes, udders and sexual organs very cleanly with surgical precision.
- The removal of the anus to a depth of around 12 inches similar in appearance to surgical coring.
- The removal of the lips and/or tongue deeply cut out from the throat.
- The removal of one ear.
- The removal of major organs (such as heart or liver)
with no obvious entry/excision marks. Often, if the heart is missing,
apart from no excision wound, the Pericardium will still be present and
intact, with the heart missing.
- The stripping of hide and flesh from the jaw and the area directly beneath the ear to the bone.
- The removal of soft organs from the lower body.
- The presence of incisions and cuts across the body that appear to have been made by a surgical instrument.
- Unexplained damage to remaining organs, but no sign of damage to the surrounding area.
- A lack of predation signs (including teethmarks, tearing of the skin or flesh, or animal footprints) on or around the carcass.
- Lack of obvious scavenging.
- In many cases, a draining of the majority of blood
from the animal. What blood is left exhibits color anomalies and may not
coagulate for days.
- The animal will appear 'dumped' or dropped in a
secluded area, with no animal, human or vehicle track(s) leading to or
from the site. Some have been found draped over fences or in treetops.
- The ground under the animal appears depressed, as if the animal was dropped on the site from a height leaving an impact crater.
- The animal's bones found to be fractured with injuries consistent with being dropped.
- Strange marks/holes in the ground around the carcass.
- Other cattle avoid the carcass and the area where it's found.
- Eyewitness reports of aerial objects in the vicinity of cattle at the time of an animal going missing.
mutilation is the alleged killing and then subsequent mutilation of
cattle. Sheep or horses have also been similarly mutilated, according to
Mutilations include removal of parts of the mouth and hind regions,
especially the anus and sexual organs. Some attribute these mutilations
to extraterrestrials, such as "bad" aliens.
Others, including cryptozoologists, attribute them to malevolent alien creatures released by other aliens.
Reports of mutilated cattle first surfaced in the United States in the early 1960s when it was allegedly largely confined to the states of Pennsylvania and Kansas.
The phenomenon remained largely unknown outside cattle raising communities until 1967, when the Pueblo Chieftain in Pueblo, Colorado published a story about a horse named Lady who was mutilated in mysterious circumstances, which was then picked up by the wider press and distributed nationwide.
This case was also the first to feature speculation that extraterrestrial beings and unidentified flying objects were associated with mutilation.
Cattle Mutilation In Colorado Mar 11th, 2009
A cattle rancher made a horrific and mysterious discovery Sunday when he
found the carcass of one of his cattle that was missing its udders and
other female parts.
one is sure what killed the cow on a pasture near the Purgatoire River,
but Trinidad rancher Mike Duran said he definitely finds the death
Duran, 49, said Monday that after the cow had been
missing for two days, he went to look for it in a pasture where he runs
cattle a mile west of the town of Weston near Colorado 12.
"I last saw her Friday. She's an older cow so I thought she may have died.
Sunday, I spotted her near the (Purgatoire) river bottom and went and
looked at her. She was on her side and it looked a little odd. "When I
took a closer look I saw that her udders had been removed," Duran said.
The cow had its udders cleanly cut off with no blood on or around the carcass, Duran said. "It
was a perfect circle almost like a laser cut," he said. "It's not like a
knife. it seemed to be cut and sealed at the same time," he said.
This is not the first time Duran has found a mutilated cow on his ranch.
In 1995, Duran said he found a cow that had been mutilated the exact
same way on the same pasture. "The
other cow's udders were snipped off the same way. It's hard to imagine
what or who could have done this to me again," Duran said.
The mutilation in 1995 never has been solved.
who operates a 30-head cattle ranch, said that in both occurrences,
there were no animal or human tracks around the carcasses. "There was no
blood around either and if you cut off an udder there would be a whole
lot of blood," Duran said.
The Cattle Mutilation Phenomena
Cattle mutilation phenomena
involve thousands of cases in North America in which cattle have been
found mutilated under unusual circumstances.
The cows are found dead (although the cause of death is undetermined),
exsanguinated (all their blood has been removed) and have had certain
organs removed from their bodies. Often their reproductive and rectal
parts have been removed.
thousands of reported cattle mutilations in the United States and
around the world dating to the 1970s have spawned theories about aliens
sent to Earth to slice up cows.
"I don't know if aliens are doing this or what, but whoever it is, I don't like it," Duran said.
look at cattle mutilations in other places and it's just really
something that can't be explained. I don't know, maybe it's UFOs
(unidentified flying objects) or maybe not," he said with a laugh.
Duran said neighbors near the pasture told him that they had not heard or seen anything this past weekend. Duran,
who also is a teacher at Trinidad High School, said he is no expert on
the subject of cattle mutilations, but has studied information on the
"I looked up some pictures and facts last night and
there are similar occurrences to what has happened to me. Some are
exactly the same," he reported.
Duran said he has notified the Las Animas County Sheriff's Department about the mutilated cattle. Las
Animas County Undersheriff Derek Navarette said his office takes cattle
mutilations seriously, although no one has ever been charged with the
"If it's someone here killing livestock, that's a crime,"
Navarette said. "The problem is that there's never any evidence around
to support that anyone was there. "It's an odd phenomenon. The cattle is just there dead," Navarette said. There
hasn't been a cattle mutilation case in the area for several years,
Navarette said. The case is similar to most around the United States.
"The same body parts were removed." The place where the cow was found
Sunday is almost impossible for a vehicle to get to. "It's an unusual
place," he said. Navarette said his office will continue to investigate
"This is simply a mystery and it is very odd," he said.
cases mutilation wounds appear to be clean, and carried out surgically.
Mutilated animals are usually, though not always reported to have been
drained of blood, and have no sign of blood in the immediate area or
around their wounds.
George E. Onet, a doctor of veterinary microbiology and cattle
mutilation investigator claims that allegedly mutilated cattle are
avoided by large scavengers "such as coyotes, wolves, foxes, dogs,
skunks, badgers, and bobcats" for several days after its death.
Similarly, domestic animals are also reported to be "visibly agitated"
and "fearful" of the carcass.
Cattle Mutilation Statistics
In FBI records from 1975,
mutilations of the eye occurred in 14 percent of cases, mutilation of
the tongue in 33 percent of cases, mutilation of the genitals in 74
percent of cases, and mutilation of the rectum in 48 percent of cases.
According to a later survey taken by the National Institute for
Discovery Science (NIDS), mutilation of the eye occurred in 59 percent
of cases, mutilation of the tongue in 42 percent of cases, the genitals
in 85 percent of cases, and the rectum in 76 percent of cases.
According to Dr. Howard Burgess,
nearly 90 percent of mutilated cattle are between four and five years
old. Some mutilations are said to occur in very brief periods. A 2002
NIDS report relates a 1997 case from Utah. Two ranchers tagged a
specific calf, then continued tagging other animals in the same pasture.
The ranchers were, at the most, about 300 yards from the calf. Less than
an hour later, the first calf was discovered completely
eviscerated—most muscle and all internal organs were missing. There was
no blood, entrails, or apparent disturbance at the scene. Independent
analysts both uncovered marks on the calf's remains consistent with two
different types of tools: a large, machete-type blade, and smaller, more
The absence of tracks or footprints around the site of the mutilated
carcass is often considered a hallmark of cattle mutilation. However, in
some cases, strange marks or imprints near the site have been found.
In the famous "Snippy" case, there was an absolute absence of tracks in a
100 ft radius of the carcass (even the horse's own tracks disappeared
within 100 ft of the body.) But within this radius several small holes
were found seemingly "punched" in the ground and two bushes were
UFO Files - Cattle Mutilations
In Rio Arriba County, New
Mexico, June 1976, a "trail of suction cup-like impressions" were found
leading from a mutilated three-year-old cow.
The indentations were in a
tripod form, 4 inches in diameter, 28 inches apart, and disappeared 500
feet from the dead cow.
Similar incidents were reported in the area in
carried out on some mutilated animals have shown unusually high or low
levels of vitamins or minerals in tissue samples, and the presence of
chemicals not normally found in animals.
However, not all mutilated animals display these anomalies, and those
that do have slightly different anomalies from one another.
On account of the time between death and necropsy, and a lack of
background information on specific cattle, investigators have often
found it impossible to determine if these variations are connected to
the animals' deaths or not.
In one case documented by New Mexico police and the FBI,
an 11 month old cross Hereford-Charolais bull, belonging to a Mr. Manuel
Gomez of Dulce, New Mexico, was found mutilated on March 24th, 1978.
It displayed 'classic' mutilation signs, including the removal of the
rectum and sex organs with what appeared to be “a sharp and precise
instrument” and its internal organs were found to be inconsistent with a
normal case of death followed by predation.
“Both the liver and the heart were white and mushy. Both organs had the texture and consistency of peanut butter” - Gabriel L Veldez, New Mexico Police
The animal's heart as well as bone and muscle samples were sent to the
Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, part of the University of California,
for microscopic and bacteriological studies, while samples from the
animal's liver were sent to two separate private laboratories.
Los Alamos detected the presence of naturally occurring Clostridium
bacteria in the heart, but was unable to reach any conclusions because
of the possibility that the bacteria represented postmortem
contamination. They did not directly investigate the heart's unusual
color or texture.
Samples from the animal's liver were found to be completely devoid of
copper and to contain 4 times the normal level of zinc, potassium and
phosphorus. The scientists performing the analysis were unable to
explain these anomalies.
Blood samples taken at the scene were reported to be "light pink in
color" and “Did not clot after several days” while the animal's hide was
found to be unusually brittle for a fresh death (the animal was
estimated to have been dead for 5 hours) and the flesh underneath was
found to be discolored.
None of the laboratories were able to report any firm conclusions on the
cause of the blood or tissue damage. At the time, it was suggested that
a burst of radiation may have been used to kill the animal, blowing
apart its red blood cells in the process.
This hypothesis was later discarded as subsequent reports from the Los
Alamos Scientific Laboratory later confirmed the presence of
anti-coagulants in samples taken from other cows mutilated in the
Various hypotheses suggest cattle mutilations have been committed by aliens gathering genetic material for unknown purposes.
Most of these hypotheses are based on the premise that earthly entities
could not perform such clean dissections in such a short space of time
without being seen or leaving evidence behind at the mutilation site,
and around laboratory reports suggesting the use of unconventional
cutting tools and other unexpected phenomena.
Some suggest that as cows make up a significant part of the global human
diet a study is being carried out on this element of the human food
chain. Numerous speculative theories abound, but others center on possible
specific nutrient requisites, hormone procurement, species propagation
(reproduction), and rote experimentation on mammalian populations.
