well, i got ONE question for alien / UFO believers (i am one of them):

WHY cattle???

i don't get it...

i thought aliens were smart???

they should take humans (they do) OVER cows...

hmmm...

any thoughts???

Have you ever had Zetan B.B.Q.? MMMMMMM-mmm. Good eatin'!

Asala-

Did the food theory also cover the several cases of human mutilation? Did the EBE's prefer to eat the cattle over people? Jus' curious.

Right around the time that cattle mutilations became publicly known in the 70s, the illness we now know as Mad Cow disease was starting in England.

From what I have read, it appears that extraterrestrials really don't seem to hurt humans too much and for all intents and purposes, appear to be giving humans health examinations and releasing them. Much as we do to our own wild animals when checking on general population health.

Cattle mutilations could well be part of that. Examination of human food reserves for especially dangerous pathogens such as Mad Cow disease.

You overlook the fact than an Et having completely different biological makeup to anything on earth would be prone to bacterial/ micobal infection from anything live it might come in contact with. This would seem to rule out munching on cattle or anything else.
its been shown even here on earth that isolated folk coming into contact with travellers have been prone to disease they have no resistance to and succome. The australian aboriginis were almost wiped out by smallpox.
Think war of the worlds, what killed the "martians"?

My own thoughts on it are that IF cattle mutes are indeed the work of et not some earthly cult sickos, then they likely choose cattle to study how a carbon based lifeform lives and interacts with its enviroment, simply because cattle are often found in remote areas, easily "caught", and dont hide. Et might have no preferance for one species over another just because one can build things, remember they are "Alien". Another reason might be than a herbivor or carnivor makes a better model for understanding biology/ food chain than an omnivor who eats crap like mcdonalds ! maybe they cannot identify the "food" in a big mac either!

well, WHY do the aliens "return" the dead bodies???

and why do they eat and run and not stop to say "hi" or "thanks"

One interesting theory as to why the cattle mutilations and draining of the blood is genetics study. I read somewhere that cow blood is somehow similar to human blood, and that aliens could use it to some avail when studying the human genetic make up. Of course i dont know all the details to the similarities or if it's even true, maybe something along the lines of a similar amount of chromosomes.

Would terrestrial microbes be able to infect extraterrestrial cells? Would Extraterrestrial immune systems be able to identify and effectively exterminate terrestrial diseases?

I wouldn't rush to the conclusion that our illnesses would affect them.

If their technology is so advanced, they could also easily sterilize the blood or check the blood cells for infection.

I bet precautions have been taken. They're obviously not afraid of coming here because of disease.

Haven't you heard of a theory of aliens are reptillians originated by one of the raptors, They had millions of years like us did.

Why is their report on seeing reptillians related to ufo?!
All hallucination?

Its not just cattle.....

there have been reports of cored apples, turnips and carrots. It is believed that some of the aliens are vegetarians, or need the vegetables in their cattle ass stews, a favorite reticulum rectum dish..

However the evidence is often eaten by the finders before it can be analysed.

Well if it was done by people, They would obviously just have their own farm. Less questions , less chance of being noticed. I'm sure the government would be better off having their own ranch to mutilate their own cows. and if it's aliens couldn't they just have a ship filled with people and animals to do their experiments on? unless they don't care? Or unless someone wants to be noticed? why would aliens go through all the trouble of not being seen, not leaving evidence , and then snatch a bunch of cows rip out their insides and just leave them where they found them? They could just launch the carcasses towards the sun!

It could be ritual but again having your own animals to sacrifice on your on farm makes better sense. seems more like marking your territory than anything. remember they are left behind to be found.

Heres MY ...... CATTLE theory.

Back in the ancient times, the Jews would sacrifice a perfect red hefer.
I am unsure as to WHY this was deemed nessesary......The prophecys in the bible about the Jewish temple being rebuilt in the end times...and all the old practices put back in place....has made me think....

IF Aliens really ARE the Gods from our past, maybe they had a liking for cattle way back when? Maybe this 'cattle' thing has ALWAYS been of interest to the Aliens....or OLD GODS per say.
Maybe the Jewish folks of old times KNEW this....maybe thats why the so called 'Perfect Red Hefer'was needed for sacrifice in worshiping the deity?........maybe this knowledge has been lost throughout time?
Maybe the remnants of this knowledge is on this planet today in the form of Cattle worship in India?
I know this doesnt explain WHY cattle..........and it opens the door to more questions. This is something I have ponderd for quite some time though. Ive been reading up a bit on the rebuilding of the old Temple........There is talk of folks trying to find the ancient relecs of this old Temple. Talk that WHEN finding these old relecs....the ashes of the last Red Hefer will be found, and THEN Temple practices can once again resume. In the perfect manner of the ancient worshipers.

So WHY were these ancient people using cattle blood into part of they're worship??
Is this a clue as to WHOM the old Gods really are??
I have wondered IF that is somehow got SOMETHING to do with the Aliens penchant for mutilating cattle?
Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Any knowledgeable Jewish people might want to answer some of my questions concerning this?



This whole idea just leads me to think that the old Gods are indeed the ALiens we ponder about today. Maybe the ancients knew MORE then, than we do now?

**singing>>>>>"AND WHATS COWS, GOT TO DO, GOT TO DO WITH IT"??????

Perhaps they wish to inspect and analyse how intelligent cows are, we use them as our main feedstock, maybe they want to see how far away they are in comparison to us and thus maybe make some conclusions on their findings.

I think that if Aliens are really doing these things to cows( I saw a documentry on History Channel last night on this topic) that they would be taking cows because think of how much beef we eat a year, Aliens would be able to find out so much information on what the human body needs by seeing what we get from cow meat. Sides if they took a human we would nuke em

To answer Kakugo- There have been instances where farmers have seen UFOs snatching up their cattle. Is this proof? No, it is anecdotal evidence. Also, it has also been witnessed that those pesky black helos show up soon after as well.

Some scientist guy says that they found like high concentrate of some mineral or something that you find in space which would support people saying the cows get tractor beamed up, which would cover the no blood part too

Perhaps they drop the cows back off, for intimidation? Fear? No clue, just a thought. It would help to know whos actually behind this, it sounds like someone in the government knows something from the black helicopter reports.
