HORSE-SAUCER MYSTERY GETS EVEN WEIRDER
|
|

Alamosa, Colo. (AP)
|
|
|
|
An autopsy on a horse, believed by its owner to have been killed by
|
|
inhabitants of a flying saucer, has revealed that its abdominal,
|
|
brain and spinal cavities were empty.
|
|
|
|
The pathologist, a Denver specialist who wished to remain anonymous,
|
|
said the absence of organs in the abdominal cavity was unexplainable.
|
|
|
|
Witnessing the autopsy Sunday night at the ranch where the carcass
|
|
was found were four members of the Denver team of the National
|
|
Members Investigating Committee on Aerial Phenomena.
|
|
|
|
The team included Dr. and Mrs. Ken Steinmetz, Dr. Herb Roth and
|
|
Captain Dick Cable of the North American Air Defense Command Center
|
|
in Colorado Springs.
|
|
|
|
When the pathologist sawed into the horse's brain cavity, he found
|
|
it empty. "There definitely should have been a good bit of fluid in
|
|
the brain cavity," the pathologist said.
|
|
|
|
"This horse was definitely not killed by lightning," the pathologist
|
|
said. That was the official conclusion of Alamosa county authorities.
|
|
|
|
The Appalcosa's owners said they believe the horse was killed by
|
|
occupants of a flying saucer. Several others in the San Luis Valley,
|
|
where as many as eight sightings of unidentified flying objects have
|
|
been reported in one evening recently, have said they agree.
|
|
|
|
-- DISPUTE --
|
|
|
|
The controversy over Snippy, a 3-year-old gelding, began September 7
|
|
when the horse did not return to the Harry King ranch.
|
|
|
|
Two days later, King went looking for Snippy and found him dead about
|
|
a quarter mile from the ranch house. The ranch is 20 miles southeast
|
|
of Alamosa in desolate mountain country.
|
|
|
|
All the flesh had been stripped from the horse's neck and head and
|
|
only bones remained.
|
|
|
|
King called the owners of the horse, Mr. and Mrs. Burl Lewis, and
|
|
together they investigated the area in which the horse had been killed.
|
|
|
|
-- HOLES --
|
|
|
|
They said they found areas where the chico brush had been squashed
|
|
to within 10 inches of the ground. What appeared to them to be 15
|
|
circular exhaust marks were found 100 yards from the horse.
|
|
|
|
Another area was punched with six identical holes, each two inches
|
|
wide and four inches deep, they said.
|
|
|
|
The investigating committee Sunday measured markings on the ground
|
|
and found the largest to be a circle 75 feet in diameter. Several
|
|
smaller areas where the chico brush had been flattened were 15 feet
|
|
in diameter.
|
|
|
|
The committee returned to Denver on Sunday night with several samples
|
|
taken from the horse and an object, presumed to be a tool, Mrs. Lewis
|
|
said she found September 16.
|
|
|
|
Mrs. Lewis said she found the object on her second visit to the site.
|
|
It was covered with horse hair and she said when she tried to wipe
|
|
the hair off, her hand turned red and began to burn. The burning
|
|
persisted until she washed her hands, she said.
|
|
|
|
The Denver pathologist remained at the King Ranch Sunday night. While
|
|
there, the group stood on the ranch-house porch and watched two
|
|
unidentified flying objects pass over the house, King said.
