Cattle Mutilations - Senseless Mutilation or High-Tech Examinations?
by Patrick Cooke
The investigation went national in April 1979, when a special investigative conference was convened in New Mexico, by Senator Harrison Schmitt, a former lunar astronaut turned politician. He expressed the futility confronting investigators when he stated, "These crimes are obviously continuing, despite the excellent efforts of state and local law enforcement officials, and the growing publicity the mutilations killings have received." Since its first major exposure in the fall of 1973, the cattle mutilation phenomena had claimed the lives of over 10,000 head of cattle by 1979. This conference turned the federal spotlight on cattle mutilations and that opened the federal coffers. In May 1979, Kenneth Rommel, a former career FBI agent, headed the project known as "Operation Animal Mutilation”. The investigation was undertaken by New Mexico's First Judicial District, and funding came from the Justice Department's Law Enforcement Assistance Administration. The result was “The Rommel Reports”. Not to anyone's surprise, the Rommel Reports were a rubber stamp of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation's conclusions. Nothing at all strange was noted, just predators and slow-witted yokels, that got over excited. One rancher even labeled the controversy "Cattlegate", referring to an obvious government cover-up.
The National Institute for Discovery Science isn't ready to say yes, to an other-worldly connection, yet, but they're not throwing out the possibility, either. The privately funded research organization is conducting a serious study of the connection between cattle mutilations and UFOs.
Mutology has become a positive force by the duck and cover tactics of the official investigations and the mutology network, coalesced and began to influence public and official opinion. Linda Howe, a television journalist turned mutilations enthusiast, has authored books on the subject and produced a documentary. Howe is a prominent backer of the alien abduction theory, and became a regular on the UFO convention circuit due to her mute theories. Other mutologists are bringing the phenomenon into clearer focus and provide a needed buffer to the official whitewash. As with the UFO phenomenon our government feels that the old "keep them in the dark = keep them calm" attitude is in the best interest of the people. And with good reason, because UFOs may be the only intelligent answer we have.
Are UFOs The Answer?
Consider the questions:
* What organization on Earth has the need to butcher cattle and other large animals, remove organs, blood, and flesh at great risk, with criminal ramifications, in a clandestine manner?
* If such an organization does exist, why not obtain the animals legally at an obviously greatly reduced cost and risk?
* What group has the advanced technology to perform these operations, with world-class precision, thousands of times in remote locations, with the tons of equipment obviously required?
* What are the odds that an Earth-based organization could conduct such a massive and complicated operation from the air, without a mishap?
* Why would such an obviously well organized and highly skilled group even consider such an aerial project, in light of the safety risks and legal ramifications if apprehended, while violating federal aviation rules?
* What organization has the resources to accomplish this feat thousands of times over large areas, without detection or apprehension?
* Who can leave unidentifiable material as the only evidence at the mutilation site?
* Why do the majority of eyewitnesses claim that UFOs are present during the incidents?
