There is no doubt that one of the most disturbing mysteries in the field of the unexplained is what has become known as cattle mutilation. The first reports of attacks on poor farm animals, killed and dissected, date back to the 1960s. Who or what is guilty greatly depends on whose theories you hold. For some, this is the work of the occult. Others say it is because government agencies have been secretly testing dangerous and deadly viruses. And there is a scenario that the perpetrators will be by nature nothing more than aliens. The mystery still remains. With that said, today I will share two of the strangest cases with you. In 1976, in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, there was a wave of mutilations in both cattle and horses. They were thoroughly investigated and documented by Police Officer Gab Valdez of Hispaniola. Officer Valdez soon found himself at the heart of the hideous puzzle.
One of the most bizarre events happened in June 1976, as the Valdez documents show. Valdez says in his papers: “Investigations around the area have shown that a suspected aircraft of an unknown type has landed twice, leaving triangular marks of three different sizes. Each triangular track was 14 inches in diameter. Two landings left triangular tracks with other diameters of 28 "and 4". Onsite investigation indicated that these small triangular footprints followed the cow for approximately 600 feet. The footprints of the cow showed where she fought and fell. Small triangular tracks were around the cow. Research has shown that the grass around the triangular tracks as they followed the cow was burnt. Also, a yellow oily substance was located in two places under small triangular tracks. This substance was transferred to the State Police Laboratory. The laboratory was unable to determine what this substance was. A sample of the substance was sent to a private laboratory and they were unable to analyze the substance due to the fact that it disappeared or disintegrated. The skin samples were analyzed by the state police laboratory and the office of the medical examiner. It was reported that the skin was cut with a sharp instrument."
Three days later, Valdez had a face-to-face conversation about all of this with Dr. Howard Burgess of the Sandia Laboratory in New Mexico. The plan was to test the radiation in the immediate vicinity. Valdez's plan was good. It turned out that the radiation level at the location was at least twice the norm. Valdez's thoughts on this: "It was this doctor's opinion that the radiation findings were deliberately left at the scene to confuse investigators that led to the research never being completed." Valdez's documents make this quite obvious: “There was also evidence that the triangular marks returned and removed the left ear. The triangular tracks were found over the tire tracks of Mr. Gomez during his initial visit. The left ear was intact when Mr. Gomez first found the cow. The cow had a 3 month old calf that was not there at the time of the incident. This seems odd because a small calf usually stays with the mother even if the cow is dead. " A terrible and disturbing situation, no doubt.

Regarding satanic groups and coyotes, Valdez remarked: “Both were ruled out due to the experience, accuracy and cost associated with such a complex and covert operation. It should also be noted that in the spring of 1974, when a huge number of cattle were lost due to heavy snowfalls, the carcasses were eaten by predators. These carcasses did not resemble the carcasses of mutilated cows. Research has narrowed to these theories, which include (1) experimental use of vitamin B12 and (2) testing of the lymph node system. In the course of this study, an intensive study was carried out (3) that it was testing of bacteriological weapons, and the possible correlation of these three factors (testing of bacteriological weapons, use of vitamin B12, testing of the lymph node system)."
Another, no less alarming incident occurred in the same area in 1978. Officer Valdez described it this way: “This four-year-old cow was found at the junction of Hereford and Black Angus, lying on the left side with her rectum, genitals, tongue and ears removed. The pinkish blood from [inaudible] was visible, and after two days the blood still had not coagulated. The left front and left hind legs were pulled out of the joints, apparently due to the weight of the cow, indicating that she was lifted into the air and fell back to the ground. The ground around and under the cow was soft and flattened where the cow was dumped. 600 yards from the cow were 4-inch circular indentations similar to those found at Manuel Gomez's ranch 4-24-78. This cow has been dead for about [inaudible] hours and is too decomposed to extract samples. This is the first in a series of mutilations in which cows have broken legs. Previously, animals were lifted by the chest with belts. All mutilated animals quickly dehydrate (in one or two days). " The mystery surrounding these 1970s cases has never been revealed. Today, fortunately, cattle mutilation is not as common as it was in the 1970s. This is one of those mysteries that we should all hope is gone forever.
