Human Mutes and UFOs
Cattle mutilations: we’ve all heard about them; and everyone has an opinion. For some, aliens are visiting the Earth and excising tissue, blood, and organs from the animals for God-knows-what nefarious purpose. Others see the UFO angle of the cattle mutes as a brilliantly executed cover-story to hide a darker truth: namely that “the Government” is concerned by emerging-diseases in the animal kingdom that may spread to the human race, and is carefully keeping watch on the situation by slicing and dicing a few animals now and again for experimental purposes. Then there are those that roll their eyes and conclude that it’s all a bunch of hysteria-driven nonsense caused by nothing stranger than predators, the ever-churning rumor-mill, and cultural mythology.
Anyone with an interest in this topic should take a look at the following: Linda Howe’s 1989 book An Alien Harvest; Colm Kelleher’s truly disturbing 2004 title Brain Trust; Paul Kimball’s new documentary for Canadian television (that I was interviewed for in Puerto Rico in 2005), Fields of Fear; Mute Evidence by Ian Summers and Daniel Kagan; Mystery Stalks the Prairie by Roberta Donovan and Keith Wolverton; and Tom Adams’ The Choppers and the Choppers. Collectively, they provide essential data for anyone wanting to know more about the cattle mutilation controversy – but don’t expect to find the authors and producers all to be of a like-mind. Nope: as I said, this is a controversial issue with more theories going for it than Roswell – and that’s saying something.
But there’s one issue that occasionally surfaces and that – to date – no-one has ever undertaken a really in-depth study of: human mutilations. Now before the skeptics get on their high-horse and blast me for bringing up such a controversial issue, I am not saying that I am a champion of the idea that aliens (or whoever) are zipping around the countryside, killing people, and stealing their organs. What I am saying is that there are people (and reports) claiming such, and therefore maybe it’s about time that someone – believer, skeptic, or agnostic – tried to nail this one, once and for all; and regardless of in which direction the evidence leads.
Certainly, at an official level, interest has been taken in claims of human mutilations allied to the UFO mystery. For example, in September 1976, Oui magazine published a large and comprehensive article outlining the history of cattle mutilations, the theories surrounding who or what was responsible, and the opinions of numerous persons who, one way or another, were implicated in the affair – something of which that the FBI took careful note.
As evidence of this, under cover of the following memorandum, a copy of the Oui article was sent to Washington by the FBI’s Special-Agent-in-Charge at the Bureau’s Springfield, Illinois office: “Enclosed for the Bureau is one copy of an article titled ‘The Mutilation Mystery’, which allegedly appeared in Oui Magazine, September 1976 issue. For the information of the Bureau, Sheriff Russell Crews, Illinois, on 9/30/76, furnished enclosed article to SA Donald R. Sorensen since it pertained to widespread incidents such as those set forth in referenced airtel. This is furnished to the Bureau in view of numerous references in this article to Federal investigative agencies and also theories that these mutilations of cattle are only a forerunner for later mutilations of human beings.”
Consider the following too: A number of years ago, and while looking into claims that human beings had been mutilated in a fashion similar to that reported in cattle, Don Ecker, the Director of Research for UFO Magazine, contacted an active police detective friend, “Scot,” who had been involved in the investigation of a number of cattle mutilation incidents. Ecker (in an article published in UFO Magazine’s Vol. 4, No. 3 issue) would state: “I relayed my various information on human mutes to [Scot], and asked if he would be willing to send an inquiry through his department’s computer to the National Crime Information Center, operated and maintained by the FBI in Washington, DC.”
Several days later, Scot, sounding troubled, got back in touch with Ecker: “Someone is sitting on something, big as hell.” Contact was made with a further source, this time in the Department of Justice, who would only state that “if all were smart, they would simply leave this issue alone.”
As enigmatic as this certainly was, more was to come. In the Vol. 5, No.2 issue of UFO Magazine, it was revealed that an assistant examiner in Westchester County, New York, informed a researcher, Bill Knell, in 1989, that several morgues in the area had been “hit” in the middle of the night, and fresh human cadavers had been mutilated, which involved partial removal of the face, and total removal of the eyes, thyroid, stomach and genitals. According to the assistant ME, “the morgues in question wasted no time in putting the mutilations under wraps and out of the public eye.”
There are many more such accounts – all bubbling quietly below the surface of the UFO rumor-mill. Now, to stress, as I said, I am categorically not saying that we should all be locking our doors and hiding out in the cellar because extraterrestrial butchers want to serve us up on a plate. But, I am pointing out that this is alleged in some quarters to be a genuine aspect of the bigger UFO puzzle. And if only to lay the matter to rest, someone should launch an in-depth study of the controversy. Anyone up for the challenge?

Nick:
I’ve read that human mutilations have allegedly occurred with some frequency in Brazil. Jacques vallee also describes the “chupa” attacks on people in Brazil in his book Confrontations. It’s possible some brazilian ufologist may be looking into this.

Yeah, there’s some weird reports of a violent, hostile nature from Brazil.

Oh….I can’t remember the book, but I saw a pic of the corpse of a man who was supposedly a victim of this form of alien probing. He supposedly disappeared after witnessing a UFO (abduction?), and his body was discovered on top of a large pile of rocks, and I truly mean large. Now why would someone lug the corpse, complete with defleshed face and missing eyes, up to the very top and just leave it there. I believe the implication was that the body was dropped from above.

That sounds like an interesting investigation. I have enough medical background I might be useful but I have very little criminal investigative background. Pretty much just how to do a sworn statement for the Army. Thats what this would have to be, if a human is mutilated it is a criminal matter (paranormal or no)
Now there is the fact that I have mutilation experience. Not conducting the mutilation mind you but when I lived in New Mexico I stumbled on a mutilation while walking my dog. It was a cow, lips and platysma region removed along with genitals. The brand had been obscured by some kind of friction and the corpse was bloodless. My Labrador would not approach it. When team of paranormal investigators came out I thought we were done for because some scavengers had finally come the night before the investigation. But I was vindicated when the cow was 50 rads above ambient radiation on a Geiger counter. Tell me a predator did that… I still have some pictures somewhere, I should put them on my blog.

Nick, the thing that strikes me with all these cattle reports is the seemingly unnecessary fussiness with which such attacks are conducted: the unusual but highly elaborate and precisely executed laser-like excisions, and the absence of any spilled blood.
Now I know you’re big on barbecues, and your fellow, blackly clad, baldy Nosferatu grandad’s big on blood, but all that piddly fussiness doesn’t somehow smack of the way of the Redferns [wasn't 'RED Fern' also the Venusian family name of the "blood-sucking carrot" in 'The Thing'? But I digress].
What I’m getting at is there’s more than an element of the show-off about the cattle mutilaters, an element of ‘We do this, because we can!’
Hell, what am I saying? It IS you and your grandad!

Actually everything that has been linked to U.f.o.s seems of a show-off nature. When you look at cattle mutilations, crop circles, and the witness accounts of sightings there is nothing secretive about them. Letting us know they’re here serves their purpose. What that purpose is, that’s the secret.

Didn’t Linda Howe on Coast to Coast AM a mere two nights ago say there are no human mutes? I thought I heard her say that.
January 27th, 2007 at 11:39 am
That incident BoyintheMachine mentioned seems to me to have occurred in the UK some years ago, somewhere in an industrialized area (Newcastle??). And I have it in the back of my mind that the corpse was dropped on a pile of coal at some foundry or some such, though my recollections of this are VERY hazy.

The case you are thinking of is that of Zigmund Adamski – today most researchers think it’s unconnected to UFOs, but the Adamski synchronicity re the name, plus a police invesigation where one officer later had a weird ufo encounter still makes some wonder.

Alan/Seein:
Yep, the show-off angle is a key factor in mutes. I think there’s a couple of possibilities – (a) someone is doing it to try and create a mythology of aliens (when in reality it’s something else); or (b) it’s to generate fear and a sense that “they” are invulnerable and untouchable – which is basically true because no-one ever gets caught doing these things.
So, there may be as much of a psychological motive behind these events as any other reason.

I didn’t hear the C to C show; but certainly there is no definitive evidence of a human mute ever having occurred – only reports, testimony, rumor, etc. That’s why, as per the bllog post, I think it needs someone to really dig into all this and try and resolve it either way. At this stage it’s one of those “limbo” type issues where a lot of people have heard things, but no-one has really tried to nail it once and for all.

Very interesting re the NM case you found. If you click on the first link in the human mute blog post, it takes you to the FBI’s official files on all this. Despite the fact that it was all dismissed as predators, most of the reports in the FBI’s files are from the NM Poilce. There’s some very weird reports there in the official NM police files – tripod landing marks, elevated radiation readings, evidence of return visits to the same farms, animals vanished, substances found at the sites that couldn’t be identified, etc. They’re tricky things those coyotes!

Personally, I’m not sure that investigating something that seems to have as its main source cliched tales from UFO Magazine would be a valuable use of one’s time.
“There are many more such accounts – all bubbling quietly below the surface of the UFO rumor-mill…. I am pointing out that this is alleged in some quarters to be a genuine aspect of the bigger UFO puzzle. And if only to lay the matter to rest, someone should launch an in-depth study of the controversy.”
If its sole existence is in the UFO rumor mill, you won’t be ABLE to lay the matter to rest.
The people who believe such things will simply choose to disbelieve the in-depth study or accuse it of being a cover-up and the author(s) as men-in-black operatives. Additionally, the people making up the stories in the first place will simply fabricate more outlandish tales at a faster pace than they can be meticulously investigated and disproven. Anyone ever try to argue with someone on the internet, putting in hours of careful research and factual verification, only to eventually realize the other party’s sole source of rebuttal information is stuff they’re making up as they go along? 
All that said, here’s one example of an actual, verifiable human mutilation. The only mystery is whodunnit.
Who Mutilated Dominic Marion?
On the trail of a bizarre hospital crime, New Times finds a cryogenically frozen head, a witch hunt for a wiccan and a stumped detective. And still nobody knows . . .

With an “uncertainty” factor in all this, it may be premature, while not out of the question, to focus on simple psychopathy. I can go to a average hospital and get an analysis of all my biological systems, with no clumsy, demonstrative knife wielding. Leaving the victims where they can be eventually found is perhaps a new variant on serialized killing. However, I think of animal behavior more than human behavior, as if this is a territorial marker as well as a demonstrative behavior. Think of the buffalo slaughters for sport in the early American West. The carcasses were left to rot, which understandably led Native Americans to question the sanity of these poachers without a seeming purpose, except to collect trophies. Are cattle tongues, or human remains hung on a mantle somewhere? Think of shrunken heads..I admit all of this has a high strangeness about it but it appears to be a ritualized serial killing.
