A STRANGE HARVEST CONTINUES

Mysterious animal mutilations go back to at least 1967 and the fa-
|
|
mous "Snippy the Horse" case. That was the Appaloosa mare found stripped
|
|
of flesh from the neck up in the Sand Dune Valley near Alamosa, Colorado.
|
|
That story went worldwide and there was a lot of talk about UFOs involved.
|
|
|
|
In the early 70's, mutilations were reported in the Great Lakes and
|
|
Pennsylvania. Then something shifted dramatically in 1975 primarily to the
|
|
Midwestern and Western United States. Sheriffs in Logan and Elbert Coun-
|
|
ties in Colorado were investigating as many as three mutilations a day
|
|
that summer. Many animals were warm to touch, dead only hours, but their
|
|
bodies were carved in strange ways. Usually an ear, eyeball and tongue
|
|
were taken. Many of the eyes had a neat, round patch of hide about three
|
|
inches in diameter removed from the lower eyelid onto the forehead. Often
|
|
one half the face was stripped so cleanly that the jaw bone looked as if
|
|
it had laid in the sun for a long time. In almost every case, the rectum
|
|
was cored out in about a four inch by six inch hole. Usually the udder
|
|
and/or teats or penis and/or scrotum were cut away.
|
|
|
|
Whatever was cut out, there wasn't any blood. That was one of the
|
|
first signals to ranchers and law enforcement that something very bizarre
|
|
was happening. Satanic cults will kill cattle in fields, but leave blood
|
|
at the site. Coyotes will tear at carcasses and leave a lot of bone.
|
|
|
|
The "cookie cutter" look of the cuts and the lack of blood are eerie
|
|
when you see them because they are so unnatural. I have seen seven of the
|
|
mutilated animals, including a horse that looked like it should get up and
|
|
walk away even though it had been dead three weeks with the strange cuts.
|
|
|
|
Its been twenty years since the Snippy case and about ten since the
|
|
unexplained intensive harvest of animal parts began in the middle '70s.
|
|
And the Strange Harvest continues:

|
|
|
August 25, Trinidad, Colorado. A yearling bull seen alive by its owner the
|
|
evening of August 24 was found dead and mutilated the next morning. The
|
|
nose, upper and lower lips were removed in a clean cut that made a 360
|
|
degree circle about four inches back from the tip of the cow's nose. The
|
|
tongue had been cut out from deep inside the throat. An eye was missing. A
|
|
long straight cut had been made from one rib cage to the other. From the
|
|
ribs, two more straight cuts had been made down to the rectum. The result
|
|
was a large triangular section of hide missing that included the sex or-
|
|
gans and rectum.
|
|
|
|
The Trinidad Sheriff's office sent Deputy Mike Bailey to take photos
|
|
and make a report. Then Lou Girodo of the Trinidad District Attorney's of-
|
|
fice went to the mutilation site with Trinidad Mayor and dentist, Dr. Ron
|
|
Sanders. Dr. Sanders took these photos. (Note: There are four good photos.
|
|
One of the missing mouth and the triangular cuts would be good to use.)
|
|
|
|
In September, 1986, I drove to Trinidad to talk with Lou and Dr. San-
|
|
ders. Lou Girodo had been working in the District Attorney's office for
|
|
several years and had been the chief investigator of animal mutilations
|
|
during the 1975-1979 period when law enforcement was trying to cope with
|
|
several mutilation reports every month. I first met Lou when I was produc-
|
|
ing the documentary film A STRANGE HARVEST in 1979 for the CBS affiliate
|
|
in Denver. Lou and I had sat across from each other late one night in his
|
|
office with a film camera running. When I asked him who he thought was
|
|
behind the mutilations, he startled me by saying, "...who is doing this
|
|
now is very possibly creatures not of this planet."
|
|
|
|
Talking with Lou seven years later in September, he hadn't changed
|
|
his mind. He said that unexplained red lights were seen three nights be-
|
|
fore this current bull mutilation by neighbors two miles from the mutil-
|
|
ation site. Three weeks later on September 18, 1986, two teenagers driving
|
|
home around 8PM saw a "silent light hovering over their house." Sarah
|
|
Gerald and Dino Rino each drew a fuzzy circular object with two red lights
|
|
and one blue light in a triangular pattern to show Lou Girodo what they
|
|
had seen.
|
|
|
|
About the mutilation bull, Dr. Sanders said as a medically trained
|
|
professional he knew he was looking at cuts made with a sharp instrument.
|
|
|
|
In 1986, there were also mutilation reports from Escalante, Utah;
|
|
Guntersville, Alabama, Oja Sarco and Chimayo, New Mexico. When Oja Sarco
|
|
rancher Orlando Sanchez found his six-year-old Black Angus cow missing her
|
|
udder, rectum, left eyeball and a lip in bloodless cuts he said, "I didn't
|
|
even think it [the mutilations] was true until I seen it." He saw that cow
|
|
alive at 7PM June 6, 1986 and found her mutilated carcass twelve hours la-
|
|
ter at 7AM the next morning.

1985
|
|
|
|
My 1985 files contain only a half dozen cases from ranchlands as di-
|
|
verse as Corpus Christi, Texas; Chimayo, New Mexico; and Ogallala, South
|
|
Dakota. But it was Scenic, South Dakota that had a mix of several UFO re-
|
|
ports and a mutilation.
|
|
|
|
Mike Heathershaw was born and raised on his ranch at the northern
|
|
edge of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. On March 8, he found an 8-year-
|
|
old cow dead and mutilated. She had given birth to a calf two days before
|
|
on March 6.
|
|
|
|
"I've seen a lot of dead animals eaten by buzzards and coyotes,"
|
|
said Heathershaw, "but not with these characteristics. No blood whatso-
|
|
ever." Except for two odd tracks "crying" from the eyes a short distance
|
|
down the nose. He found the cow in a grassy dirt pasture with no tracks
|
|
around her. The whole udder had been cut out "like with a knife." The
|
|
rectum was cut out in a four-inch wide hole.
|
|
|
|
I asked Heathershaw if he had seen any other mutilations on his
|
|
ranch before. "No," he said. "I laughed at them before. But this has
|
|
nothing to do with coyotes. They chew and eat more." Heathershaw never
|
|
found the dead cow's two-day-old calf.
|
|
|
|
That same week, Phyllis Clifford of Porcupine, South Dakota, saw a
|
|
light over the Badlands "change colors from all red to all green to all
|
|
white." There was a red light on top and a greenish haze around the center
|
|
of it. Phyllis said she could not hear any sound associated with the
|
|
light.
|
|
|
|
In March, David Brewer with the Pine Ridge Bureau of Indian Affairs,
|
|
reported red and green lights dropping down into a village west of Pine
|
|
Ridge.
|
|
|
|
At Slim Butte several miles west of Pine Ridge, Tommy La Deaux said
|
|
he saw the "biggest light he'd ever seen" moving along the ground. He esti-
|
|
mated the diameter to be 300 feet.
|
|
|
|
Pine Ridge Judge Nancy Perez saw a light set down in her yard and
|
|
called police who came and saw nothing. As soon as the police left, the
|
|
light came back on and "took off."
|
|
|
|
While all this was going on in South Dakota, a five-year-old Here-
|
|
ford cow in Chimayo, New Mexico was attacked by the mutilators. Rancher
|
|
Tony Martinez found her udder had been cut out in a circle and so had her
|
|
rectum. She had been alive the day before. The other cows in the pasture
|
|
were spooked. "It seemed like they were scared by something," said Marti-
|
|
nez.
|
|
|
|
By May, more was happening in South Dakota. In Ogallala, on a very
|
|
remote pasture 15 miles north of Pine Ridge, rancher Eldon Lessert found
|
|
his six-year-old Black Angus cow dead with the "udder completely removed
|
|
very smoothly in one cut, almost a circle or oval that sagged away from
|
|
the belly." A little further outside that cut, the hide had half a dozen
|
|
very small holes "punched out sort of in a line." The rectum was a "very
|
|
neat cut" forming one large hole with intestines extruding. This is one of
|
|
the few cases where the rancher reported "a little blood on the hide, but
|
|
more on the ground." Lessert said, "Some very sharp knife was used to cut
|
|
these wounds, nothing jagged. Just smooth cut."
|
|
|
|
That cow had a three-week-old calf that kept bawling about 300 yards
|
|
away, but would not go near its dead mother.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHO? WHY?
|
|
|
|
My files get much thicker as we go back to 1984 and the years be-
|
|
fore. The association of mutilation with Unidentified Flying Objects is
|
|
strong and dramatic in many cases. As Deputy Sheriff Bill Waugh said in
|
|
Elbert County, Colorado: "Those big orange balls of light was always as-
|
|
sociated with the mutilations."
|
|
|
|
If extraterrestrial biological entities (EBEs) are harvesting odd
|
|
parts from our animals, what are they doing with them? One speculation is
|
|
the harvest of DNA to create biological robots. In the context of that
|
|
speculation, the work of Dr. James Womack at Texas A & M University is
|
|
perhaps pertinent. In February 1984, Dr. Womack reported in the national
|
|
journal GENETIC MAPS that big chunks of cattle chromosomes are identical
|
|
to large sections of human chromosomes. "We must have more in common than
|
|
previously believed," said Dr. Womack. Humans carry 23 pairs of chromo-
|
|
somes which contain all hereditary factors. Cows have 30 pairs.
|
|
|
|
Further, in 1986 it was reported from Texas Tech University that
|
|
cow's blood can be used as an emergency blood transfusion substitute
|
|
because the hemoglobin so closely matches human blood. These unexpected
|
|
and recently discovered similarities about cows and humans might offer
|
|
some clue about the mutilations.
|
|
|
|
But if the ETs are using cow parts because the DNA is close to hu-
|
|
man, what kind of biological robots are they making? Are they secretly
|
|
among us, an invasion from within?
|
|
|
|
Why was there such intense harvesting activity in 1975-1980 which
|
|
has steadily dropped off since but not disappeared? Did something special
|
|
happen in the cosmos then? Or was the harvesting in _anticipation_ of some
|
|
alien need?
|
|
|
|
From the human point of view, it's a one-way trade route. Whatever
|
|
is taken is not paid for. And what's left behind is fear, anger, and dead
|
|
animals.
