So,

What we know with high confidence (on most cases)

• Involves air lifting / craft of some kind. The creature is always moved from its abduction point to its disposal point.
• Its done mainly at night (covertly) to avoid detection by owners/law enforcement (Human agenda)
• And the incisions are done surgically with possibly high heat applications (laser)
• Organs targetted in order of preference; eyes, rectum, mammary gland, reproductive systems, blood systems and fluids.
• Animals are returned. Not stolen (Human agenda)
• Schedule of occurance interrupted by human events or distractions (natural disasters etc).(Human agenda)
• Involves mammals with a link to humans, usually nutritional, in order of preference bovines, sheep, cervids. Also domesticated leisure mammals such as dogs, cats. (Human agenda)

But still loads of uncertainties,

• There is no corroborating evidence of an animal being taken witnessed despite significant cases, albeit in pretty unpopulated regions. (Although no evidence of tracks and prints around the animal at mutilation - does the pasture get searched in the investigation as to where the animal is lifted up? - i would expect lifting to involve a bit more manhandling than dropping the creature).
• Every case is not examined fully, so, would never be able to obtain a reliable data set of parameters. Like the assay of Pharmaceutical products and synthetic chemicals found in the mutilated body compared to the animals own record. Or the mode of tagging employed? UV ? What about the surgical methods, is blood removed in the majority of cases, does it always involve segregation of haemoglobin from plasma? Obviously haemoglobin is tailored to each individual animal, so we could rule out transplantation, and looking at leucocytes, platelets, serum more  of a nutritional or disease related enquiry. Also, what is this magnetite found close to the incision and where does it come from, it needs some iron media to be present - is it an iron plate or clamp (even template) around the tissue which is formed oxidising with laser.
• And then the crop circle mix up, of animals that have been dropped in them. Was these circles as mysterious as the mutilations, or could they be explained as human involvement - or even admission?
• Also, what about the ranchers, they say this could put them out of business, but surely they must have hedging systems to protect them, such as insurance? Is their any motives lying here?

Its all a messy enquiry, and i have no doubt that there will be some that have tried to mimic the phenomenon, for either insurance purposes or entertainment/hoaxing reasons which obfuscates even more.

The other problem I have, which i find really important, is why, undertake this task, extremely stealthily and covertly with such medical precision and professional ability and it appears with extreme intelligence on one hand, but then on the other hand, do nothing about covering up the evidence you leave on the other end, i.e. Even make it look like a scavenger attack. Maybe we need to read the next book It just seems a games being played between the Investigator (Stalking the stalkers) and the stalker (Stalking the herd to stalk the Investigator) and its pretty obvious who's winning.
