FBI probes deaths of thousands of cattle killed with ‘surgical precision’ since the 1970s blamed on satanic cults and even ALIENS
Reports include cows having ears, lips, eyes, noses and genitalia removed with 'surgical precision'
FBI investigators admit they're still baffled by the thousands of cases of cattle mutilation to rock farms in the USA - more than 40 years after the first attack.
Recent attacks in Kansas bring back horror memories of the mid 1970s when reports of the bizarre and stomach-churning slaughters first hit the headlines.
Since then, government agents have probed varying theories that satanic cults, a big foot-type beast, a deranged psychopath, government agents and even ALIENS are responsible for the killings.
Many of the sickening attacks have been along the 37th degree of latitude which cuts across the USA.
However, Ron and Paula Watson, two farmers in Springfield, Missouri, insist they know who or what is responsible for the attacks after witnessing a bizarre event in 1973.
They claim they saw a "green, cone-shaped craft" – next to which two "silver little beings" were standing over a large black cow.
"I told Ron, 'My god, they got a cow! What are they doing to it?" Paula said.
"It had its eyes open and its tongue was like, hanging out a little bit. But it just laid there and it didn't move."
She claimed she then saw the aliens running their hands over the cow before it "floated" up into their mothership.
The story may sound unbelievable but it became one of the favoured theories used to explain the thousands of cow mutilations reported across the United States in the 1970s.
Within the depths of the FBI's own 'X-Files' many other reports sit unsolved.
But perhaps the most baffling aspect isn't why the animals were killed it is how.
Farmers have found dead cattle with various organs excised – including eyes, noses, tongues, hearts, livers, anuses, and genitalia removed with laser precision.
Often, the scene was bloodless and trackless as well. One veterinarian noted the several gallons of blood drained from one cow.
The attacks were reported across the nation but were mostly scattered among South Dakota, Colorado, Kansas, and Nevada.
Residents reported seeing helicopters circling the areas where cattle later turned up dead and sliced up with seemingly surgical accuracy.
This prompted concerns that the mutilations, nicknamed 'mutes' by those familiar with the subject, were being propagated and covered up by the government.

Many who have dedicated their lives to the subject believe, in fact, that aliens are responsible for the mutilations and that the government has been attempting to cover up their crimes (and existence) for years.
Decades later, on the central Kansas plains, law enforcement is grappling with two similar cases.
Last year, a bull was killed and mutilated in Harvey County.
The bull’s genitals were removed by precise cuts.
Then a pregnant dead cow was found with one of her eyes harvested, including the eyelid and both bottom and top eyelashes removed.
A veterinarian said it was done with a laser.
Christopher O'Brien, an author and investigative journalist on the subject, said that in his 200 cases of dealing with cattle death, about 40 of those were done by 'something with intelligence'.
He told the that when a cow decomposes, the vegetable matter contained in one of its four stomachs makes the animal bloat.
As the moisture leaves the body it then starts to deflate - causing the exposed edges of the animal to stay hard and darkened.
'To someone who doesn't know what they're looking at - it looks like a burn,' he said.
