Perhaps the most horrific aspect of the UFO phenomena is the reports of animal mutilations. Being a animal lover myself, it is hard to imagine anyone or anything that would kill an animal in such a fashion, and leave the carcass behind. I'm quite sure none of us would be so disturbed if it was just normal predation and there were signs that the animal had been fed upon, but when most of the animal is left intact and only select parts taken, it is unsettling on a grand scale because we have no idea of the reason or logic behind the killing.
The first widely publicized animal mutilation occurred in September of 1967 in the San Luis Valley of Southern Colorado, when an Appaloosa mare named 'Lady' was found dead with all the flesh stripped from the neck up down to the dry bone. A reporter mixed the name up with another horse named 'Snippy', and the name stuck through the years adding confusion to the story.
Unidentified flying objects and lights were seen in the area before the incident, and many newspapers speculated that there might be a connection between UFOs and the horses death.
A pathologist who examined Lady, Dr. John Altshuler from Denver, was shocked to discover that all the internal organs had been removed from Lady's chest "surgically with heat." The cuts were surgically precise, and bloodless. When the tissue samples that he took were examined under his laboratory microscope, he found that the hemoglobin had been cooked, indicating that extreme heat had been used to cut the tissue. This is a recurring finding in animal mutilations.
Most animal mutilations appear to have quite a few similarities. There are many cases where the animal was found with the rectum cored out, penis and testicles removed by means of bloodless incisions with surrounding tissue untouched, one ear removed (in the case of cattle) yet the ear tags are found on the ground without blood on them, one eye and surrounding tissue removed, sometimes internal organs (sometimes not), teats and udders removed by hide-deep bloodless incisions which show signs of high heat being used, and most alarmingly no blood or tracks found near the animals themselves, including the animals own tracks! In most cases it is as if the animal was lowered to the ground after it was killed.
There is much speculation as to the reasons that whoever is doing this is taking these specific parts, and most explanations relate to testing for levels of radiation in the animals, that they might have picked up from their environment and through grazing. This makes sense even though we do not know for sure who or what is doing this to these animals. With all the atomic weapons testing that has been done without regard to the long-term effects on the environment, it is conceivable that some group either terrestrial or extraterrestrial is monitoring the effects from the radiation.
Another theory put forth is that aliens are sustaining themselves in nutrient baths made from the blood and genetic material taken from the animals, and that there are critical elements that they are missing and must get in this fashion to survive.
As a Field Investigator if you are ever called out to the scene of an animal mutilation I would recommend that you bring along a Geiger Counter or some form of radiation detector, a metal detector so you can examine the carcass for any traces of metal which would indicate human involvement, and of course a camera for taking lots of pictures. You will also want to take tissue samples from the incised areas for microscopic analysis. You can make an emergency field preservation fluid by mixing equal doses of rubbing alcohol and purified water, which will keep your specimens from deteriorating before they can be examined under a microscope. Be sure to properly label your samples and get them to your State Director in a timely fashion.
I hope this issue helps give some guidance in how to proceed with an animal mutilation investigation. As terrible as they are, there is much data that can be collected from these occurrences. In time maybe we will have some answers as to what is really going on. Don't forget to share this issue with all of your friends, and come back next week for more!
