Kevin's Watch

Man see this phenomenon as the acts of UFOs/ETs, Satanists, or even the Chupacabras. I watched a wonderful little scientific experiement practiced on a dead cow. They just left a recently deceased bovine lying in a field and taped the next 24 hours to see what happened. The results were identical to the stereotypical mutilation. The cow bloated vigorously in the sun and split at the abdomen with surgical precision. The cut looks similar to a lasered or cauterized wound and allowed carrion eating insects to go wild on the soft tissue areas including, lips, genetalia, and reproductive organs. In other words a natural mutilation.

Hmmm, but the difference with cattle mutilations - as claimed to have been done by UFOs, etc - was that the genitalia and other organs had been removed with surgical precision (which scavengers can't do). Additionally, the blood is often drained without collapsing the veins and arteries. There is usually no footprints and animals will leave the corpse alone - including scavengers. So the study still has me doubting.

Not that I believe in UFO, demon, etc mutilations.

Not animals, but insects. They clean up only the particular tissue so it appears the organs have been surgically removed

Insects don't cut in straight lines and leave the cuts clean. Believe me, this theory has been proposed before and doesn't answer the issue.

little anal-retentive insects.

that's the answer.

Actually....the footage I saw they cleaned it as neatly as anything I've ever seen. It looked like an insect autopsy. The bloating made near perfect splits that looked like cuts. They explained the bloodloss too but I don't remember what happened. I'll have to find a link...

Is it an N=1 study?

You mean a single sample test? No, they filmed one to show the results but it is my understanding that they tested 44 cows in areas that had seen "mutilation" activity before. The test did state that given the inability to study many previously deceased cattle, as the farmers tend to dispose of them in a timely fashion, they can't be sure all the mutilations are exactly similar.

in Texas the animals bloat beyond belief. a 20 pond dog can bloat to the size of a small calf. just thought i'd share.

This is very interesting. Very. My predictions the whole abduction movement will fall apart in 10 years, what with some of the recent findings about alien abductions and now this.

won't the believers just claim all of this info is part of the cover-up?

Ah, science rears it s head again...
No because anyone can test it. The original idea came from a Texas sheriff who wanted to see if he could reproduce the "mutilation" effect. Further testing just confirmed it. Despite the lack of support for ET cattle mutilation I still think alien abductions happen, although rarely.

many problems beset cattle. natural causes, predators, stupid people with guns, disease, tipping by drunk folk... i have yet to see proof of alien involvement.

the question is....what do these aliens think they can learn from our cows?

Well, they don't abduct humans. The whole retrieved memory thing is a utter nonsense.

Or maybe they enjoy it. More likely there are no aliens.

I'm not willing to rule out abduction. While I do think retrieved memory is highly questionable of few people seem to show very bizarre effects ala Mothman Prophecies.

But how do we know they are telling the truth?

We don't know if they are telling the truth. Some scientist interested in the subject has to investigate this phenomenon and take it out of the hands of the UFO hunters.
