What’s the point of all that surveillance, then?

Also, let’s not forget the fact that cattle mutes is NOT a strict-US phenomenon. There are reports coming from many other countries, like Argentina for example.

I like Chuck, he’s a good guy—very observant and he seems to know what he should do while out in the field. I’ve offered him some investigation tips, does and don’ts, what to look for, how to deal with ranchers etc., and he seemed to take my suggestions well. Having said this, since when does investigating one possibly real case (out of a total of three) make you an expert on cattle mutilations? I applaud his efforts, but question whether someone so novice should be taken seriously . This subject is extremely touchy and complicated and anyone professing to know anything about “mutes” would be well-advised to downplay themselves to the press.

As far as Greg Little’s observations about aliens and black helicopters. It all started with Nellie Lewis stating to the press back in ‘67 that “flying saucers killed my horse (Snippy).” There has been a link to ufos ever since. Of course, no one has done more to make sure this pop-culture myth has been perpetuated than our lovable, huggable dragon queen of ufology, Linda Howe. She has done everything in her power to downplay the chopper/human perpetrator angle that investigators such as Tom Adams, David Perkins, Gabe Valdez, Ted Oliphant and myself have actively pursued. There have been well over 300 quality reports of helicopters in and around mute sites. To be polite: the suggestion that these are pot grower surveillance flights is highly improbable and (IMO) absolutely not true. Using Greg’s logic, how do we then explain chopper reports in the dead of winter and early spring? No, there is more than ample evidence to suggest that these mystery choppers have more to do with true mutilations than all the pot flights, aliens, insurance scams, hoaxes and Linda Howe’s wishful thinking combined.
