…researchers have misinterpreted and perhaps intentionally ignored certain data surrounding the mutilation phenomena (e.g., human technology cannot cleanly remove sizable organs through small holes in the body; black helicopters generally are an occasional after-occurrence; predators generally avoid the remains for no apparent reason; ranchers staking out their land at night often miss mutilations that occur in close proximity).
If we accept the possibility that this is not a "one-size fits all" scenario and that there are multiple groups with various agendas involved in perpetrating these crimes, then we can divide these cases into categories. A vast majority of cases (IMO) are NOT high=strange and appear to have been done by human agents w/ conventional technology. Generally, these cases are the ones that appear to have been disfigured with a sharp cutting instrument such as a scalpel and are not drained of blood and fluids. A small percentage of cases appear to be high-strange and cannot be explained by a simple, conventional explanation. These cases include impossible medical evidence, (i.e., organs removed in an impossible manner, high-heat as the cutting agent, blood removed down to a capillary level, bones polished white, etc). Helicopters (not necessarily black) have been seen hundreds of times. This includes: before, during and (most often) after mutilations have occurred. Predators and scavengers often tear these animals to shreds in short order. This (generally) happens when cases appear to be human perpetrated. The high-strange cases tend to be the ones that scavengers avoid. This is a generality, but is fairly consistent. Ranchers (and law enforcement) rarely stake out targeted herds—only if the herd has have been hit continuously and the rancher has lost multiple animals in a short period time.
The first thing I look for is cut hair on the hide. Birds and other scavengers CANNOT cut hair in a straight line. This to me is a dead giveaway that a case is a true "mutilation." The photos are from a horse mute in 1999 near Alamosa, CO. But, just because the hair has been cut doesn't mean it was done by aliens...
This also implies these researchers have made misstatements to which they adhere to this day (e.g., a significant percentage of mute victims do in fact have their blood drained; there is no evidence of disease, including bacteria; there is absolutely no evidence of human involvement in the vast majority of cases). Obviously the researchers I mention above cite veterinarians, ranchers and law enforcement personnel from a range of jurisdictions in support of their arguments. This also appears to be a global phenomena, occurring throughout wild and domesticated species beyond cattle.
Most researchers do not throw out sets of data that don't conform to their foregone conclusions. Linda would be an example of someone who is highly selective over what facts she will publicize. If there were strange light sightings, you bet she'll point this out. If there were sightings of helicopters, she will usually avoid making these sightings into an issue. She has said that these are UFOs masquerading as choppers or that it is the government investigating the sites but only after-the-fact. One theory she has mentioned is that these choppers are somehow involved in shutting down portals where these aliens are entering and leaving mutilation sites. Sounds great as a sci-fi plot, but where is the evidence to suggest this is a viable possibility? The reason most ranchers and investigators think that all these animals are drained of fluids is fairly simple: they don't turn them over and drain out the body cavity where all the fluids have pooled. Unless you do this, it appears to the untrained eye that there are no fluids present. I don't know where you got there is no bacteria, but this is not true. Again, one needs to divide these cases into mundane mutilation cases vs. high-strange cases before you can make any investigative headway. There is a definite difference between classifications of cases and that's after you have factored out the problem of misidentified unusual scavenger action, etc etc
As someone who is an internet consumer, and not a front line researcher, I frankly don't know where this leaves me in forming an informed view around this phenomena. If I am missing something please kindly advise - I am sure others are asking the same questions. Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide.
I know, this is not an easy, cut & dried subject. It is fraught with nuance and misperception. I can only make statements based on my own personal experience working with law enforcement, veterinarians, pathologists, hematologists and knowledgeable ranchers. One thing that is very important to remember: You CANNOT come to any conclusions about these cases from simply viewing photographs. Ideally, a complete necropsy by a veterinarian pathologist and samples analyzed by a crime lab can give you irrefutable data such as cause of death and manner of disfigurement etc Sadly, this is almost impossible for a majority of cases are usually found after its too late to conduct these proceedures. This is a very well designed mystery that is often self-nullifying. Sucks don't it?
