Cattle Mutilations
A widely disputed phenomenon, cattle mutilation has received much attention in the press in the last decade as potential evidence of UFO activity. Beginning
in the late 1960’s, increasing numbers of ranchers and farmers throughout the United States reported finding cattle that appeared to have been mutilated. As
accounts of such incidents accumulated (the numbers vary – one estimate is 8,000- 10,000 cattle and horses), a tradition developed about the “classic”
mutilation: no footprints of predators, human or animal, were visible within a wide circle surrounding the dead animal; the carcasses were bloodless,
suggesting that the blood had been drained; specific organs were “uniformly” missing, all seeming to have been “surgically removed”; these organs included
the genitals, internal reproductive organs, eyes, tongue, lips, ears and nose.
Some theorists suggested that “Satanic cults” were responsible, but the most popular explanation, bolstered by unverified reports of mysterious lights in the
sky, among other things, was that the mutilations were the work of extraterrestrial figures that swooped down to earth to perform their purposeful surgery.
So alarmed by these stories did the citizenry of New Mexico become, that a special investigator was assigned to look into the matter, and a federal grant
awarded to pay for the investigation. The lengthy and skeptical report that resulted stated in no uncertain terms that no pattern of mutilations could be found
(although the report conceded that a small number of such incidents had occurred, possibly prompted by media attention) and that the many reports of such
incidents were based on natural predatory practice, with missing flesh, congealed blood and bodily parts consumed by birds, smaller animals and feeding
insects.
