Written Confession: Chilling Cattle Mutilation Scene in Nebraska (GRAPHIC IMAGE WARNING)
The following written confession and images were submitted via email:
I just wanted to share with you some pictures of a crazy experience that my dad and I had on our property in the middle of nowhere small town, Nebraska.
We were out, looking at some, looking at some improvement that they made in the ground, and I came across this mutilated bull. There was snow on the ground, and you could see that there were no tracks leading up to it. It looked like it had dropped dead right there or had been dropped there. We were 15 miles from any town and at least 5 miles from a paved road. To get to this location you have to drive 20 minutes off a paved road, on a gravel country road and then 4 miles on an irrigation ditch road for 2 miles. Then you must cross 3 fences, 1 barbwire and then 2 electric ones. Side note one of the electric fences was shorted out and zapped the hell out of me when I opened it for my dad. Without a pickup or 4-wheeler there is no way you can get to this place given the open pasture ground that you must cross. The location that we found the bull was on our property which is a few hundred acres of undeveloped pasture and a pivot. We were driving around the pivot looking at the location that my dad had put a goose blind. As we came to the top of a hill, we noticed that the lone bull that was in the pasture was laying dead. The bull was literally the only animal in the pasture and the owner had seen him 2 days prior alive and well. When we first approached the bull, we noticed how bloated he was, this is very unusual if he died of natural causes since cows will stop eating prior to death. Also, it was below freezing, and this would have slowed down the bloat process.
When we got closer, we noticed a large hole in the area between the anus and testicles, this struck us as odd since if the hole was made by predators, it wound have been at the anus or the softest area over the belly. This caught our attention, so we parked the truck and got out to have a closer look. This is when we noticed that the hole was very smooth and looked like a cut instead of a hole ripped by a predator or scavenger. When we walked up to the bull, we saw the rest of the cuts and missing parts. It was obvious that the testicles were missing from a cut in the scrotum. As we walked around to the front of the bull, we noticed that the ear, lower eyelid, and a large portion of the cheek and upper lip were cut off as well. At this point my dad and I both had this eerie feeling and took a few pictures and got the hell out of there.
Well, we drove off and looked at a couple more parts of the pasture and we were talking about what the hell we had just found. My dad mentioned that back in the 70s there were a rash of cattle and horse mutilations in the area. I had never seen anything like this, but my dad said it was exactly what he had seen then. That got me very curious, and we decided to go back for a second look and get some more pictures.
On the second visit we examined the bull more closely. The tongue had been cut out, as well as the tip of the tail. Removing a tongue is not easy and it had been cleanly amputated…very bizarre. Now I should mention that I am a plastic surgeon and have 10 years of surgical experience. The cuts on this bull were made by someone or something that knows how to use a knife. The tangential nature of them is not easy to do, especially around the ear and eye! In fact, it looks like the cuts were made more with the laser than with a knife. I say this because when a cut like that is made with a knife you can see all the small capillaries and vessels with punctate bleeding, aka, small bleeding sites throughout the depth of the skin. When cuts are made with a laser or with some energy device the vessels are coagulated at the time of the cut and that finding isn’t visible, exactly like the cuts made on the bull.
Another very odd thing is the lack of blood on the snow-covered ground. Yes, there is a small amount, but I guarantee you, that in an animal of that size, there should have 15 L of blood spilling out on the ground. Even if the cuts were made postmortem there is a significant amount of blood that will pool around the low areas due to gravity and run out of the ground level cuts. I feel that the cuts were performed at the time of death or immediately following, not hours after if they were made by predators or scavengers. We know that the bull had to have been killed or whatever it was in the last few hours probably less that 12. I surmise this since the blood that was there was not yet coagulated or frozen. You can see in the pictures near the ear that the blood is still bubbling up. This was fresh blood, not the look of fluid that results from decomposition. Also, the timing is further confirmed by the snow on the animal. The snow was from that morning around 1-2 AM and there is very little snow under the animal and most of it was blown up against the animal and on him. Therefore, we can presume that whatever happened to the animal happened around 2 AM. The bull was still in rigor and not yet flaccid as well as still not frozen, there was no way I was going to touch it so I honestly can’t say what they temperature of the bull was. But like I said there was still liquid blood bubbling from the ear, so we knew it wasn’t frozen.
My dad and I have both hunted all our lives, and know what predators do to dead animals, this was not done by predators that’s for sure. Given the number of coyotes we have in the area as well as mountain lions and other predators there is no way that if the bull was killed by them or had been there for a long time that he wouldn’t have been torn to shreds. Predators and scavengers attack the easy to get to areas and easiest way to gain access to the innards of the animal. Usually, the anus is eaten, and they gain access to the guts and meat this way or though the thinner skin of the abdomen. The ears are not a prized piece of food for a scavenger, and they would be hard pressed to get the tongue out of an animal with rigor mortis.
On the drive home we were talking further about the crazy things we have experienced out here and my dad reluctantly told me about the UFO that he had seen 3 nights prior. He woke up around 3 AM and looked out the window in his bedroom that overlooks the backyard. He noticed that it was very bight outside, to bright even for a full moon. He got up to look out the window and hovering about 10 meters above the ground roughly 300 meters from the house and over the cornfield behind his home was a large glowing orb. He estimated the size of the orb of about 5 meters across. He described it as a blue/greenish white light that was glowing and sort of pulsating. He stood staring for a few seconds and then grabbed his glasses for a better look. The shape became clearer, and it was spherical and didn’t have any mechanical looking parts. He said it seemed more fluid like and sort of gently moving up and down a small degree. Then as he watched it slowly drifted over the field and headed due west, as it got over the canal that is about 500 meters due west from it location it just shot off to the west. He said it accelerated from 0 to an amazing speed instantly and was just gone. Coincidently or maybe not that is the same direction where we saw the bull. He said that he was so shocked that he didn’t even think about waking up my mom and didn’t have his phone with him… unlike me I sleep with my phone on my nightstand, but he left it charging by his easy chair. Haha. He told me another UFO encounter from many years ago that I can share if you want.
Another crazy thing about the bull is that the predators, even a week later had not touched the bull. A month later it was barely touched. From the pictures you can see that there’s thousands of tracks around the area of the hill where the bull is. The photo is from the base of the hill and the bull is laying just over the ridge of the hill. Normally when an animal dies or we dump the remains of one after butchering it after a hunt the predators tear it about in 24-48 hours and it would be completely devoured and bones scattered in less than a week, any time of the year. In this case the bull is nearly completely intact a month out. That’s just unheard of in the country with such a high population of predators. You can see by the track of mostly coyotes that they go up to it and check it out and apparently just nope out of there, just like my dad and I did.
Probably the craziest thing I have ever seen in my life. I contacted my buddy from high school who is a large animal vet in the area and he said that he has seen several of the these cases and the best explanation that he has is that someone is using a tranquilizer gun and then doing the mutilation and using it for some satanic ritual… I guess this is possible but given the location, the remoteness, and the amount of effort it would require finding the bull let alone get close enough to dart him, with fences and all it just seems unlikely. Considering the number of people that knew the bull existed was like 5 and his location was more like 3 all of whom I have known all my life I can assure you that they are not the type to do something like that. I guess what I’m saying it that a more paranormal or other worldly cause makes more sense in this situation. I mean I know people will say its easy to find a bull in cow country but when you look at a map of this location and realize the difficulty in getting there it just makes some random satanic or weirdo doing it a very slim chance.
