Response to Sanchez/Miller Mutilation Blog Comments 11/26/09
This is my response to some comments made on the Sanchez and Miller Cattle mutilation cases. First I welcome all comments and welcome any advise for future investigations. Second, I want to touch on a couple of things. I am in contact with the Colorado State University Veterinary Lab and will supply samples per their recommendations. The Sanchez mutilation was too destroyed to achieve or perform the lab analysis they would like to perform. For one, they would like to see the organs of the animal to try to determine the cause of death, and two, I’m asking what could be achieved by just taking the head? But when, what we call “The Prime Case” occurs, then you’ll see some fantastic work done by the lab. Either a representative from the lab will accompany me to the location for an on-site necropsy, or I’ll be putting a 1400 pound animal on a flat bed trailer, packing it with ice, then personally delivering it to the University. This isn’t an easy task, I’ll have to winch the animal and pull it on the trailer without damaging it too much. So I’m hoping for an on-site necropsy. Also, If all I can do is take samples, then we are discussing what type of samples to take and how to preserve them properly.
Note: I welcome all comments on what type of samples to take, but at this time I will only be taking samples which this lab will be able to use. And “no” I will not be storing cow parts in my garage, this is a bio-hazard scenario, because if the animal died of a virus, then I just put my family’s health at risk. So the answer is “No” to those of you who suggest I need to buy a freezer to store cow parts for any type of future lab work. And no, I will not ship any samples to you. Oh, and no DNA work will be done at this time.
I am also working with a soil analysis lab for future research on dirt samples I take. I will only take dirt samples per their recommendation. The lab will look for any differences between a “controlled sample” and a sample taken near the calf. I will not ask them to look for specifics, they will look for differences. This will include minerals, PH, and certain toxin’s to name a few. They do this for the BLM and are very professional so “no”, I will not release their company name per their request. If someone questions their analysis, then that someone can take what ever soil is left they didn’t use and run their own analysis at their own expense.
Bottom Line? The labs will tell me what type of samples they want to analyze which is with-in their capability. Then the results will be released on this website. What I’m striving for is a complete non-biased approach to companies in which I should get non-biased results. This worked for me with Roswell debris I had analyzed which yielded an aluminum/silicon artifact found on a 2002 dig. I will be lecturing about this at the 2010 UFO Congress.
And now for answers to specific comments.
Jack Wiseheimer:
Thank you for your comments. Too long to reierate here, but very interesting.
Tim:
I usually refrain from saying a cattle mutilation is alien related, but you are absolutely correct, the animal’s damage could be related to a necropsy. So we both agree it doesn’t appear to be predator damage. That is a significant step in the another direction.
Thank you for your comments.
Linda Howe:
At this time what I posted were basically my field notes. I’m trying to get the deputy’s notes, if I succeed in getting them, I’ll send you a copy.
Thank you.
Bill Fitzhugh:
At this time I’m trying to get both deputy’s reports from the Sanchez mutilation, one from the third and one from the fourth. If I get them and they give me approval, I’ll post them. The lab did look for laser cuts on the Miller and Garren mutilation and did not see burned tissue or hair under a microscope. The Sanchez mutilation carcass was too destroyed to get a clean sample for lab analysis.
Thank you for your comments
Staceyflnative:
I’m sorry to hear about your animal losses, and you’re right, this is more common than people realize.
Thank you
Aubs:
Yeah my thoughts rigor mortis was the cause of the mouth being hard to pry open. Which means the mouth was closed when the animal died? So was the tongue removed while the calf was alive or just after it died? If you look at the cow picture on the Garren mutilation post, you’ll see the tongue hanging out. This is usually the case, but if the tongue can’t be seen, then it’s time to pry the mouth open.
Thank you for your comment
Steve Bremmer:
If I give the impression aliens are doing this, I apologize. The media usually puts that tag on me. The rancher did see strange lights a couple of months before the mutilation, but as an investigator I record any strange anomaly. I personally don’t know who or what is doing this and am looking for any type of evidence that will point me in an unfamiliar direction. And you’re right about “faith”, there are cattle mutilation investigators who just say its alien, and UFO investigators who don’t know much about the night sky and make the wrong assumptions too quick.
Thank you for your comment.
ABC:
Ok abc, I’ll find the veterinarian and you can get ABC to pay for an on-site necropsy. It’s not cheap and this is all out-of-pocket. Hopefully I answered your comments at the beginning of this blog.
Oh and you’re last remark is very typical of media comments, we investigators call this, “The Giggle Factor”.
Thank you for your comments.
John Notmylastname:
First I love your last name. heh heh.. Absolutely correct in your assumptions. Remember this has been going on since 1967 and not only in Colorado. I interviewed a rancher two years ago in Missouri who had cattle mutilations and saw dear mutilation too! So it’s not just the cows.
Thank you for your comment.
Frank Healy:
Yeah Frank, microscopic analysis was performed on two of my previous mutilations, the Miller and the Garren. No hair stems appeared to be burned, and the Colorado State University would not commit to stating they were surgical cut. I can’t blame them, they are very scientific and very careful what they print. Both the Miller and Sanchez calf bones appeared to be broken due to impact, and I am talking with the lab to see if there is a way to confirm this. It may boil down to doing a test case, sorta like Myth Busters.
Thank you for your comment.

Here’s something scary. Statistics show 2,300 Americans are reported missing every day, including both adults and children. Only a tiny fraction are stereotypical abductions or kidnappings by a stranger. I believe the Federal Government said about 850 thousand missing person cases were reported in 2001. About 50,000 were juveniles (under 18). Makes you wonder about Alien Abduction scenarios going bad.
Thank you for your comment.
Daryl Cook:
Hey was she cute? 😉
Thanks for the comment.
Howatd:
Yeah we’re waiting for a prime mutilation case to perform this lab test.
Thank you for your comment.
Fred Brenhardt:
Yeah I feel your frustration. That’s why I’m attacking this a little differently. If you have any wild and crazy ideas, please help me out. So far no one has “cracked” this.
Thank you for your comments.
Good Old Mr. Wilson
Hey Mr. Wilson! No one has been found or convicted for doing cattle mutilations since the first reported case in 1967 in the San Luis Valley. Ranchers have told me they will shoot first then answer questions later if they see someone killing their cows. As for Red Neck Hicks, I’m friends with people who other people call “Hicks”, and there’s no reason for them to do this. If they did, then they would be, “Red Neck Genus’s” because no law enforcement agency has cracked this. Talk about a “Cold Case”. This is the coldest.
Thank you for your comments.
Sam man:
So you are an expert on mountain lions? Work for the Park Service? Is your degree in Zoology? I’m not “raggin” on you, and I’m sure most cattle deaths are animal related in which you are correct. What we look for, are the cases which don’t fit the “foot-print” for a predator kill. Part of my investigation is working with the ranchers looking for predator signs, including blood on the soil, carcass remains and animal prints. I always ask the rancher and their neighbors what type of predators they know of in the area. And you can ask any cattle rancher, they know their land and what type of predators usually work their property. It’s when the rancher doesn’t know and doesn’t see the signs of a normal predator kill that causes them to call the local authorities and call it an unknown kill. I’ve talked with Brand Inspectors who are puzzled too! Remember this is their job and they know it very well and I have allot of respect for them. I’ve worked security at rodeos and I have to agree, there is no one tougher than the American Cowboy, or Rancher. And when they get scared, then that scares me.
Thanks for your comment.
Ford:
Yeah this is a tough one.
Thanks for your comment.
Kerri:
Hey Kerri, I follow Steven Greer and he just may be right then again he just may be wrong. I actually would feel more comfortable if I knew it was aliens then if it was a “Shadow Government”. Steven lectures on very scary scenarios in which he’s done his home work on and we should at least listen to him. Where I different from Steven is, “To know how an alien thinks, one has to be an alien”. We have no idea what they’re thinking, until they come out and tell us themselves.
Thank you for your comment.
