UFO TV News Report:
UFO over Niederbayern, Germany
(TRP 1, Passau, Germany)

Thomas Metz managed to film an unknown object over Niederbayern for five seconds:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9neuDNXKOXg

Metz first saw a flash in the sky before he started to film the object. And he says the object emitted no sound.

Straubing-Wallmuhle Air Traffic Controller Lothar Mai rules out the possibility that the object could be a conventional aircraft. He based it on the object’s speed and the altitude it flew at.

Dr. Thomas Weyer at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt) (DLR) says the object was neither a meteorite nor space debris. And other top experts at DLR came to the same conclusion, and said it was an unknown object, according to TRP1.

It’s unknown when the UFO footage was recorded.

Two Eupen Police Officers chased 2 UFOs (or the same UFO) on 29 November 1989.

The Furman family who also resides in Eupen has allegedly sighted more than 30 UFOs since November 1989.

And the RTL TV crew managed to film one of the UFOs on 7 December 1989. This UFO footage was corroborated by the Belgian Air Force’s Control and Reporting Centre (CRC) in Glons. The CRC radar registered an unknown object in the same area where RTL filmed the UFO. Colonel Billen, Belgian Air Force said the unknown object was neither an aircraft nor a blimp.

A Belgian animal documentary film maker also managed to film a triangular shaped UFO, according to RTL.

Quote from the article:
“Maj. Keyhoe has some impressive support. Vice Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter (retired), a former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, says: ‘The unknown objects are operating under intelligent control. It is imperative that we learn where they come from.’

An official of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Deputy Public Affairs Director Albert M. Chop, has ‘been convinced for a long time’ that the saucers are interplanetary.

The Air Force does not deny that certain UFOs may have

been operated by creatures from outer space. It says only that no

UFO ‘has ever given any indication of a threat to our national 
security.’ ”

“Colorado cow mutilations baffle
ranchers, cops, UFO believer”,

9 December 2009 (The Denver Post, Colorado)

The Denver Post reports on the cattle mutilations that occurred on the ranches of Manual Sanchez, Tom Miller and Mike Duran in 2009:

http://www.denverpost.com/ci_13956752

Manuel Sanchez experienced four cattle mutilations on his ranch. The ranch is situated east of San Luis, Colorado. Sanchez found two mutilated calves on 25 October and two more on 9 and 16 November 2009.

Furthermore, Sanchez says he and his wife marvelled at incandescent blue lights hovering over a ridge near his pastures in July and August 2009.

Tom Miller who runs a ranch east of Trinidad, Colorado found a mutilated calf on 17 March 2009.

Mike Duran’s ranch is situated west of Weston, Colorado. He found one mutilated cow on 8 March 2009. Duran says in the article that some of the cuts on the cow looked like laser cuts.

Tom Miller’s neighbour, Colorado Brand Inspector Dennis Williams, looked at Miller’s mutilated calf. Williams says that to him, it looked like the calf had been dropped from a high distance, because its hips were dislocated and many of the bones were broken.

UFO/animal mutilation researcher Chuck Zukowski ruled out that predators killed any of the cattle. The tongues were sliced off in straight lines back behind the teeth. That indicates that it is not a predator kill, Zukowski says in the article.

No tracks or footprints were found near any of these mutilated cattle, either, according to the article.

All three ranchers have earlier experienced cattle mutilations: Sanchez in 1993 and 2006, Miller in 1980 and 1997 and Duran in 1995 and 2000.

“Old cattle mutilation stumped Feds”,
24 May 2010 (KRQE News 13, Albuquerque, New Mexico)

KRQE News 13 reports on a 130-page FBI cattle mutilation file that reveals that the federal agency was deeply involved in investigating cattle mutilation cases in the U.S. in the late 1970s:

http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/on_assignment/old-cattle-mutilation-stumped-feds

The FBI probed into cattle mutilation cases in New Mexico and many other states from the west coast to the Midwest.

Bobby Pierce, deputy director for the New Mexico Livestock Board – says the Livestock Board was unable to explain five percent of the cattle mutilations that occurred in the late 1970s.

The FBI got involved at the urging of New Mexico Senator Harrison Schmitt, according to the article/TV news report.

“Rocky Mtn. Mysteries:
UFO expert investigating Colo. cow mutilations”,

San Luis Valley, Colorado, has experienced several cattle mutilations in the last year, according to Fox 31 News:

http://www.kwgn.com/news/kdvr-alien-cows-txt,0,6523586.story

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIyO2I6mmks

Weston, Colorado rancher Mike Duran, who has lost three cows to mutilation, says he is convinced that his cows were abducted by UFOs.

And UFO/animal mutilation researcher Chuck Zukowski, who has investigated five cattle mutilations in the last year, is of the same opinion. On numerous occasions, unknown aircraft and lights have been sighted over areas where cattle have been mutilated, according to Zukowski.

Thousands of mutilated cattle have been found in the U.S. since 1967. Other countries throughout the world have experienced the exact same type of cattle mutilation. Apart from the U.S., Canada, Argentina and the UK have been hardest hit by cattle mutilations.
