Bizarre calf mutilations found on Colorado ranch
(AP) ? 1 hour ago
SAN LUIS, Colo. ? A creepy string of calf mutilations in southern Colorado
has a rancher and sheriff's officials mystified, and a UFO chaser thinks
extraterrestrials are involved.
Four calves were found dead in a pasture just north of the New Mexico state
line in recent weeks. The dead calves had their skins peeled back and
organs cleared from the rib cage. One calf had its tongue removed.
But rancher Manuel Sanchez has found no signs of human attackers ? such as
footprints or ATV tracks ? or animal attackers ? such as pools of blood.
Sheriff's officers tell The Pueblo Chieftan they're baffled.
It's led to speculation the mutilations are the work of aliens. An area UFO
chaser, Chuck Zukowski of Colorado Springs, says another calf was found
dead near Trinidad earlier this year, its ears removed.
