Mutilated bull: No blood, no clues

ranch in Northerne New Mexico. Allen says there is a possibility
that visitors from outer space are conducting experiments on animals.

GALLUP — Robert Allen wasn't surprised when the story of the
cattle mutilation last October in the small town of Kanjilon, N.M.
was buried way inside the local paper. After all, the hoopla over
cattle mutilations - which were a big subject back in the 1980s
- has died down in the last decade or so. The problem is that while
the newsworthiness of the subject has died down, cattle mutilations
have not.
There are still hundreds, if not thousands, reported worldwide each
year. Allen, a local expert in subjects like UFOs and alien abductions,
has been spending his own time and money investigating the phenomena
or the past 15 years. He was in the area in October when he heard
of a rancher near Kanjilon - a small community of about 200 peoples
south of the Colorado border some 280 miles northeast of Gallup
-who came across his prized four-year-old bull dead and mutilated
in a field near his home. Not only mutilated but cut in a strange
way. Its genitals and anus were cut away and its blood was totally
drained. Even odder was that there was no blood where the bull was
found. There were also no footsteps or prints of any kind going
to or from the bull.
Allen went to the site to look at the bull first-hand, and he talked
to the family, who were still in shock and worried about what it
all meant. "The wife sat down with me and was competed terrified,"
Allen said.
They began remembering other strange things, like the fact that
they heard a "strange helicopter" flying overhead the
night before. No helicopters were reported to be in the area that
night, Allen said.
These kinds of questions are a normal part of Allen's life. He has
spent most of his adult life exploring the possibility that visitors
from outer space are among us and have been watching and conducting
scientific experiments on animals and humans for decades. "Yes,
some people think I am nuts," Allen said.
But he views himself as one of the few who are willing to accept
the possibility that extraterrestrials are the cause of some strange
things that happen in New Mexico. This includes reports of strange
lights in the sky moving in a way that no plane or helicopter can,
reports of people who say they are unable to account for large periods
of time and feel they have been abducted, and stories of animals
that have been mutilated for no reason.
Some would say cattle mutilations are nothing more than pranks by
kids who have nothing better to do, but Allen said the mutilations
- tens of thousands over the years in almost all parts of the world
- would indicate that there is something a lot more sinister than
a few juveniles behind all of this. After all, he asked, what happened
to the blood, and why are all of the cuts so precise?
The only logical explanation, and the one that makes the most sense
to Allen, is in his mind, the simplest: the animals are mutilated
by aliens who are trying to find out about life on this planet and
are doing so by examining reproductive organs. "People just
can't grasp this unless they have actually seen the mutilated animal
themselves," he said.
Studies over the years (see sidebar on one done by the FBI in New
Mexico some years ago) have not been able to come up with another
explanation.
"I think the cuts are done by lasers," Allen said, adding
that the animals are brought up to the alien vessel during the experiments,
which is why there is no blood.
The ship then drops off the animals, which is why there are no footprints
anywhere around the animal. These animals are sometimes left alone
for several days before they are found by their owners. "But
no predator will eat off the animal, and coyotes will eat anything,"
Allen said.
Allen often is asked to give lectures on the subject. He said he
also makes himself available to people who are want to learn more
about these subjects or want to join in his research.
He feels that history will some day prove that he was right. Until
then, he plans to keep on doing what he has been doing for more
than 15 years - trying to unravel the mystery of cattle mutilations
and alien abductions.
"You can either pretend that these things didn't happen or
you can look at it with an open mind," he said.
