Cows were sacrificed by aliens sending the White House into a panic declassified FBI files have revealed. It is claimed that more than 8,000 cows were abducted by UFOs before they were mutilated and thrown back down to earth over the southern United States during the 1970s. The memo is one of thousands of previously unreleased classified files that the bureau has made public in a new online resource called The Vault.
Anyone else get the feeling that these FBI files aka , the vault , is nothing more then a whole lot of dis-info ?
WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE CLAIMING EVERYTHING IS DIS-INFO?! God dammit I'm tired of all that crap! It's not disINFO, it's disCLOSURE.

You said it yourself. "Appearance".
If you are saying that mere observation is all it takes to "prove" that these incisions are in fact produced by laser, then I have a bridge to sell you.
People really need to define, for themselves, what "proof" actually means. Otherwise we get watered down responses like these that use an "appearance" to declare "proof" with no actual substantiation.
No offense, primetime, I'm sure you do believe cattle are mutilated by interstellar travelers--but for your own benefit, be diligent. This goes for everyone who feels embattled by my opinions, if someone challenges your reality--prove it to yourself. This isn't religion, it shouldn't be founded upon faith.

Unfortunately for us, neither Edwards nor Fenoglio cared to mention their sources, giving rise to decades of confusion as to the historicity of these two alleged UFO sightings by Alexander the Great and his army. Fenoglio's riddle being, in my opinion, the easiest to solve, I will begin by him. He says that five "flying shields" flew in triangular formation and that, after some time hovering over the walls, a lightning-flash came from the largest of these shields and struck the walls of Tyre. Unfortunately, there is no mention whatsoever of such an event outside of ufological literature. I won't even comment the laughable statement by Fenoglio who dares to say that Johann Gustav Droysen did not mention it on purpose. However, going back to the closest sources we can get, one might ponder this quote from Quintus Curtius, one of the main classical authorities on Alexander, who says that during the siege of Tyre, in 332 BC (between January and August) : Clipeos vero aereos multo igne torrebant, quos repletos fervida arena caenoque decocto e muris subito devolvebant. Nec ulla pestis magis timebatur: quippe, ubi loricam corpusque fervens arena penetraverat, nec ulla vi excuti poterat, et quidquid attigerat perurebat, iacientesque arma laceratis omnibus, quis protegi poterant, vulneribus inulti patebant. (Quintus Curtius Rufus, Historia Alexandri Magni, lib. IV, cap. V) Furthermore, they [the Tyrians] would heat bronze shields in a blazing fire, fill them with hot sand and boiling excrement and suddenly hurl them from the walls. None of their deterrents aroused greater fear than this. The hot sand would make its way between the breastplate and the body; there was no way to shake it out and it would burn through whatever it touched. The soldiers would throw away their weapons, tear off all their protective clothing and thus expose themselves to wounds without being able to retaliate. (From Heckel, W. and Yardley, J. Alexander the Great : historical texts in translation, 2004, p. 147) This is as close as we can get to Fenoglio's "flying shields" by looking at ancient sources and I believe this passage from Quintus Curtius is the basis Fenoglio used for his version, whether intentionally or as a result of a (hard-to-believe) misunderstanding or mistranslation.

But hey , if your going to believe that aliens come to Earth for stake dinners , why not believe a unreliable account of history while your at it ?

Nice theory, except there's records of flying saucers going back at least to 29,000 BC (in cave drawings) & Alexander the Great had 2 encounters with "flying, silver shields" during his campaign in India (just google "Alexander, UFO"), in 300 BC. In one account both sides of the battle recorded the objects swooping down and, with a beam of light, destroying a wall.
Alexander spent the latter years of his life in a diving bell (the world's 'first submarine') searching for one of these UFOs that darted into a river in India.

I was watching for someone to mention Linda Moulton Howe... good on ya.. a star for that indeed..
There were two "strange Harvest documentaries made.. the first was 1980, while director for special projects at KMGH-TV ( CBS in Denver, Colorado ). She won a Regional Emmy for that one in 1981. So yes indeed she has been researching this phenomena for over 30 years.
Reading various UFO books will help with this topic as well. What the FBI did and didn't do through the 70s regarding this phenomena, people might be interested in. T'was an ex-FBI agent that started all the "Satanic Ritual" excuse concerning Cattle Mutilations. The press, as if "given orders" ran with it... Was strange times and I remember them.
This phenomena was world-wide and very severe in the United States... Ranchers became angry... very VERY angry, to the point that all across the U.S. ranchers didn't trust the government investigating at all... They armed and created many watchmen groups and threatened to shoot anything flying over their ranches... So the government tried to "handle" the growing discontent and escalating "do it yourself" methods many were choosing. The anger was so prevalent and obvious, that I'm not sure any media these days is revealing an accurate portrayal of the history, without revealing that massive anger.
It's claimed over 10,000 cases were reported from 1973 to 1979 in the U.S. alone... but it's more like 10s of thousands have occurred... Some talk of "animals ravaged em" on and on... THAT also made these ranchers ANGRY. They know the nature of their business better then non-sense offering pundits and idiots, getting media exposure, while the ranchers, who KNEW it wasn't animals or Satanic Rituals... were virtually ignored.
Meanwhile, these days... it's a matter of re-writing the past, for most people... a mere joke for many... and people making comments before they know the background of the topic.
This phenomena still occurs worldwide to this day.

It would make sense that the FBI has some hidden agenda in regards to making this information public, or should I say, possibly MAKING this "information".
Cattle Mutilations: A Tenative Solution When a cow is in trouble, sick or dying, the first thing it experiences is peripheral circulatory shutdown. The peripheral, or outside circulation begins to shut down, this causes an immediate temperature reduction of the affected animal's outside skin. When a helicopter flies low and slow over area pastures and has the infra-red scanner operating, it will notice a cow with a lower thermographic reading than the others in the herd. Find the cold cow, and you've identified a cow in trouble. Somebody wants to know why that cow is in trouble. Since the cow will probably die anyway, it's a good choice for sample extraction. It's also a good way to narrow down farms that might be affected by disease. This answers the question everybody always asks me: "Why wouldn't the government just go around and buy cows at the livestock sale, it would be cheaper than using helicopters. They could raise their own cattle on their own land and nobody would know about". That was always a hard question to answer, until now. There's no need to sample animals that don't appear to be at risk. If you are performing true epidemiology, you would go state to state and look for sick cows . You can't do that at a livestock sale, unless you marked the animals and came back and bought them after they were transported to the sales lot. Even then, you'd have no assurance the cow you'd marked would be offered up for sale. Furthermore, time is of the essence, an ailing cow might not ever make it to the sale. True epidemiology requires scanning as many cows as you could, in as many different areas. You'd have to do this over the entire continental U.S. to make accurate studies and samplings. The vast majority of the cows that I found missing organs and tissues, had calved (given birth) within 2-3 weeks before being found dead. That's significant when we remember that BSE and CJD can also be hereditary diseases. In a couple of cases we investigated, the animal's blood had been thoroughly drained (exsanguinated) and there was no blood on the animals or on the ground. Early on in the scientific study of CJD & BSE, it was determined that body fluids were highly volatile and the scientists would drain the blood entirely after sedating the animal. A curare-like drug immediately immobilized the animals and the animal would die of blood loss. This may explain why no veterinarian or laboratory was ever able to tell farmers or police, the animal's cause of death. That was always a big mystery. Now I believe some of the animals I examined, actually died of shock from blood loss. A curare-like drug is necessary to immediately incapacitate the animal, this prevents any struggle so the work can be carried out quickly. You don't want to stick around a long time and get caught by an irate farmer with a high powered rifle, that's why helicopters are the perfect vehicle to get in and out, fast. Because these cows identified through lower temperature signatures will probably die soon anyway, it's less of a moral issue for the teams performing the samplings. Phil tells me that there are three different groups studying Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies. There is the public group, associated with Nobel Prize winner Stanley Prusiner. The second group is private and headed by a man whose name I will hold onto for the moment. The third is the government group, funded by a black budget. The groups don't always share information, so each is trying to figure out what the other is doing. By the 1960's, 112 different strains of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies had been identified. I don't have any information on how many have been identified today. I don't know if the strains identified here in the U.S. are more, or less dangerous than those still threatening Great Britain. Conclusion I don't pretend to explain every bovine excision case that's occurred across the country, I can only speak to those cases where I was directly involved in on-site investigations, working as a police officer. In 90% of the cases we investigated, helicopters were reported seen over the affected pastures the day before or after suspicious livestock deaths occurred. Because of the foreign substances found at the scene and in the bloodstreams of the animals, we (farmers and cops alike) suspected at that time there was some kind of medical testing being performed. With the new information I've been handed recently, described in this and my previous article, I am even more convinced that we were on the right track. That is the covert surveillance and study of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies across America. Now that this information has been put into the public's hands, the debate can begin.

Thank you VERY MUCH for this capsule history. These were the events that I alluded to earlier. I've read everything that I could find on the animal-mutilation phenomenon. Serious researchers and investigators have brought forth many "anomalies" that defy ALL explanation, including--and especially--"coyotes did it." Microscopic examinations of the incisions have left professional lab personnel shaking their heads in wonder and disbelief. Anyone who treats this as some trivial misunderstanding of how scavengers work is wrong and misguided. This is a decidedly non-trivial phenomenon, and I, for one, resent anyone treating it that way.

Laser surgical field packs did exist back then and would explain the unusually precise incisions on these animals. I think the government was testing for various soil contaminations -- this was kept secret so as to not alarm the people living in those areas.
It does not surprise me that the government would use UFOs as a cover story to divert attention and discredit the mutilation phenomenon in the eyes of the general public.
The whole UFO field is loaded with government disinfo and these "secrets" leaked from the Vault smell like manipulative disinfo.
Someone on this thread mentioned Nazi technology from the standpoint of conventional understanding. It's ironic that the inner core of the SS were well aware of the reality of ETs -- which is why they considered themselves to be members of the "Master Race" (an ugly, destructive ideology, but not entirely devoid of truth).

The( Black ) Helicopters associated with cattle mutilations were directly related to UFO sightings in most cases. The idea that the "government" uses UFOs as a cover has to consider that the UFO connection came from the witnesses and the ranchers... NOT the government. Other phenomena were involved as well.
FOO fighters being "first" seen over Germany is an error. During WW2 they were in every theatre and even the Germans were bewildered.
And the "Master Race" was not only a German Phenomena... It's Eugenics and began in UK and MANY held that philosophy before Germany, all around the world, including the eugenics movement in the U.S.A.
