Duran Cattle Mutilation March 15, 2009
Summary:
Rancher Duran from Westin Colorado discovered his 26 year old cow dead under unusual circumstances two days after he had noticed it was missing. The last day he had seen the animal was on Friday March 6th, then on Sunday March 8th, he spotted the animal laying on its left side near the Purgatoire river bank. Upon examining his animal he noticed the vaginal area and the udders had been mysteriously removed. The removed areas were circular cuts showing no signs of blood or physical trauma. The cuts he noticed seemed to be laser cut and sealed at the same time. Mike had a similar experience back in 1995 when he lost a cow to the similar circumstances. The udders had been removed in a familiar faction.
This image shows me taking radiation readings. (Yeah I know old Geiger counter but it works.) We also took electro-magnetic readings for comparison analysis for future cattle mutilations. (photo by Jason Cordova)
This image shows me and Jason Cordova doing the necessary measurements for the investigation. The noticeable hole in the center of the cow was from the previous night’s scavengers and not part of the unusual carvings.
Measurements were also taken from the unknown cut areas. This particular animal had been dead for a few days so the cavity was larger due to the time duration from death to investigation.
Alejandro Rojas is shown here taking hair samples. Not shown is Stace Tussel who was responsible for documenting the investigation and samples.
This square cut is a result of one of my samples taken for lab analysis.
