The 1976 book (published by T.H.A.R. Institute, Raynesford, Montana) by the authors Roberta Donovan and Keith Wolverton explores the animal mutilation phenomenon.

In this post, I focus on the animal mutilation-UFO connection evidence that is reported on in the book.

Unmarked helicopters are sometimes also reported to be flying over or near (or even landing) where an animal mutilation incident has taken place, according to experienced animal mutilation researchers.

Newsletter Quote: “STIGMATA”

Number One, January 1978

(Project Stigma, Paris, Texas)

Source: Archives For the Unexplained (AFU.se), Norrköping, Sweden

Project Stigma was run by the late animal mutilation researcher Thomas (Tom) R. Adams.

Quote from the newsletter issue:

“A 1977 ‘MUTE’ CHRONOLOGY

The following listing can in no way claim to be complete. As always, we suspect that we are unaware of many mutilation incidents. Some are reported to law enforcement agencies, but do not surface in the press; others are not reported ‘officially’ at all. We are fortunate to have learned of a few such occurrences through word-of-mouth. It will be noted that in 1977, as in the previous year, mutilations were occurring spottily but steadily, but with nowhere near the intensity of the extensive and inexorable wave of 1975, when hundreds of possible mutilations were reported. Nevertheless, we can draw attention to one important fact – they have yet to cease:

December:

Colorado – Costilla County; 3 cows; unidentified helicopter; nocturnal revolving lights.”

UFO Article (Blog): “Massive Quantity Of Unreleased UFO Files Held By New Zealand Government”

By Paul Dean, 14 July 2017

(UFOs – Documenting The Evidence, Melbourne, Australia)

Quote from the article:

“On the 3rd of August, 1985, researcher Timothy Good wrote to the Air Vice Marshal Ewan Jamieson, Chief of the Air Staff, at the Ministry of Defence Headquarters, Wellington, New Zealand, asking what the New Zealand military’s official stance on UFOs was. In a 6th of September, 1985 reply to Good, Wing Commander S. D. White, writing on behalf of Air Vice Marshal Ewan Jamieson, stated:

‘New Zealand’s Ministry of Defence is not specifically charged with any formal responsibility for investigating UFOs… …and neither is any other government department. The Ministry does however take an active interest in all such reports and within the limitations of its resources conducts investigations as necessary.’

This official statement, and quite a few others like it, was somewhat misleading.

In March, 2017, I accessed Archives New Zealand, which is that country's official national archive and records repository, and entered a series of keywords into the ‘Archway’ search engine. Using the keywords ‘unidentified flying object,’ ‘ufo,’ ‘unidentified flying objects,’ ‘ufos,’ ‘unknown object,’ ‘unknown objects,’ ‘flying saucers’ and the like, I was surprised to see numerous hits displayed in the results. Of course, New Zealand’s government has already released numerous files, so any search results which included these items were expected. What I didn’t expect was a listing of hitherto unknown files, some of which are ‘restricted’ from public access for decades to come. I should state that these unreleased files were not totally unknown to at least a handful of researchers. British based researcher Isaac Koi, for example, discussed the existence of these records some time ago on the internet forum Above Top Secret, and Keith Basterfield mentioned some of the items in various New Zealand focused blogposts in 2010.

The first file of note, which should have been released in 2010, is titled ‘Intelligence – Defence – Unidentified Sightings.’ The record number for this item is ‘244/1/7’ and the date range spans from 1963 to 1976. The current controlling agency of the file is the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF), but the original controlling agency, presumably, will be either a top–echelon division of the Ministry of Defence (MoD), or, one of New Zealand’s armed forces branches. Traditionally, New Zealand’s defence apparatus has, like most nations, always included an Army, Navy and Air Force. Either way, the file metadata gives no clue as to its origin. Moreover, as noted, this file is clearly a MoD item of some sort, and the NZDF is listed as the most recent controlling entity, so the notion that the NZDF released all of its UFO files in 2010 is quite incorrect. Having said that, the file is listed as ‘Open Access,’ so someone in the NZDF has cleared it for release.”

UFO Book Quotes: Quotes From Edward J. Ruppelt’s Book, The Report On Unidentified Flying Objects

Source: NICAP.org

These quotes are mentioned in Terry Hansen’s book, The Missing Times – News Media Complicity in the UFO Cover-up.

“CHAPTER ONE: Project Blue Book and the UFO Story.13”

“Our policy on releasing information was to answer only direct questions from the press. If the press didn't know about a given UFO incident, they naturally couldn't ask questions about it. Consequently such stories were never released. In other instances, when the particulars of a UFO sighting were released, they were only the bare facts about what was reported. Any additional information that might have been developed during later investigations and analyses was not released.”

(The Missing Times (Page 163))

http://www.nicap.org/rufo/rufo-01.htm

“CHAPTER TWELVE: 164.The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects”

“…, I knew that this was absurd because any ham radio operator worth his salt could build equipment and listen in on any intercept. The real reason for the press dismissal, I learned, was that not a few people in the radar room were positive that this night would be the big night in UFO history – the night when a pilot would close in on and get a good look at a UFO and they didn't want the press to be in on it.”

UFO Article (Blog): “Australian UFO Science? An internal personal view from a member of the WRE Radar & Electronic Tracking Group (1971)”

By Bill Chalker, 2 July 2017

(The OZ Files, Sydney, Australia)

Quote from the article:

“The evolution of Defence Science in Australia has from time to time thrown up some interesting intersections with the UFO controversy. In my previous post The Joint Intelligence Organisation (JIO), the Defence Science & Technology Organisation (DST), the Sea Fury Encounter and UFOs I provided a link to my earlier research (2007 - 2008) on the JIO involvement and the legacy of Harry Turner. Part of this was also described in my Australian chapter contribution to the UFO History Group book ‘UFOs and Government’ (2012). Both described some of the material that I found in the UFO files of Harry Turner he kindly shared with me:
‘Other omissions in the JIO file released to Keith (Basterfield) may have been due to typical file attribution effects and file ‘borrowings,’ sensitivities about the material or other matters, rather than any inherent substantial content. For example there is a Department of Supply internal memorandum from the Radar and Electronic Group: ‘Regarding Recent Symposium on UFOs’ which discusses the 1971 ANZAAS UFO symposium. Another describes a sighting by crew of an ANL ship off Pipon Island in 1966. Other similarly miscellaneous content may lurk in other agency files and their presence in the papers of a JIO scientist may be just due to a variant on the ‘lightning rod’ principle.’ ”

Wikipedia article: “Joint Intelligence Organisation (Australia)”:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Intelligence_Organisation_(Australia)

Quote from the Wikipedia article:

“The Joint Intelligence Organisation (JIO) was an Australian government intelligence agency, responsible for the analysis of defence and foreign intelligence. The foreign intelligence assessment functions of JIO were assumed by the Office of National Assessments (ONA) in 1977 and the JIO was fully replaced by the Defence Intelligence Organisation (DIO) in 1990. The JIO was staffed by civilian officers of the Department of Defence, foreign service officers of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and service personnel from the Australian Army, the Royal Australian Navy, and the Royal Australian Air Force.[1]

The JIO also maintained the National Assessments Staff (NAS) which supported the National Intelligence Committee (the predecessor to the National Intelligence Coordination Committee) until 1977 when it was assumed by the Office of National Assessments. The NAS was responsible for preparing long–range analytical assessments of international issues.”

UFO Article (Blog): “The Joint Intelligence Organisation (JIO), the Defence Science & Technology Organisation (DSTO), the Sea Fury encounter and UFOs”

By Bill Chalker, 28 June 2017

(The OZ Files, Sydney, Australia)

Quote from the article:

“In a series of reviews, Keith Basterfield describes the contents of Department of Defence file 529/1/16 Part 1 titled ‘DSTO records of unidentified aerial phenomena,’ secured through his persistent efforts and the financial support of UFOR(NSW). The contents were especially interesting to me as they confirmed the picture I had determined in my research and interviews with some of the parties described such as Harry Turner, George Barlow and John Farrands. The DSTO file also supplements the picture described in the JIO file release which Keith also facilitated.

The files confirm that the JIO & DSTO involvement were the legacy of Harry Turner who headed up the nuclear scientist section of DSTI within the JIO. His role was pivotal in the continuing dance that DSTO & JIO had with UFOs.”

UFO Article (Blog): “Defence Science and Technology Organisation records on UAP - Part one”

By Keith Basterfield, 28 June 2017

(UFOs – scientific research, Campbelltown,

New South Wales, Australia)

Quote from the article:

“Introduction

In a blog post dated 14 June 2016, I advised that I had found a file in the National Archives of Australia (NAA), file series A4090, control symbol 529/1/16 Part 1, titled ‘DSTO records of unidentified aerial phenomena.’

The file had only been registered with the NAA on 30 September 2015, and originated with the Australian Department of Defence (DOD). The file was listed as ‘closed,’ with the reason given, being ‘withheld pending advice.’ This usually means that the file is still with the originating agency, being examined by them for ‘sensitivities’ before being opened.

I immediately asked the NAA to have the DOD complete their examination of the file; knowing that once the file status changed from ‘closed’ to ‘open,’ that I would be able to order a copy of the file.

While waiting for this process to be completed, I wrote to the DOD and asked an obvious question. If this was part one of the file, was there a part two? The DOD responded that there was no part two. In addition, I checked to see if the NAA RecordSearch had a part two, it did not.

In addition, also while waiting, I wrote a second blog post dated 20 June 2016, gathering together what I could find out about any DSTO involvement with UAP in Australia.

Time passed, until I was advised on 26 June 2017, that the file had been digitised for me. At this point, I wish to acknowledge UFO Research (NSW) Incorporated, who donated half the money needed to purchase a digital copy of this file. Many thanks for your generosity.”

(Correio do Estado, Campo Grande, Brazil)

Brazilian military reservist Waldir Padilha (the driver) and 15 other people driving in a van encountered a UFO at kilometer 584 of BR-262 (30 kilometres away from Miranda) on 25 March 2011, at 2:45 a.m.

The van lost speed a short time before the UFO was sighted, according to Padilha.

The large, oval shaped object slowly crossed the highway (flying south to north).

The UFO emitted a loud buzzing sound.
