Ancient Giant Virus Revived From Siberian Permafrost Climate Change Could Release More Ancient Viruses
Ancient “Giant Virus” Revived From Siberian Permafrost – Climate Change Could Release More Ancient Viruses
Buried deep in the Siberian permafrost and untouched for over 30,000 years, researchers have discovered what is thought to be the newest representative of what are loosely known as “giant viruses.”
A team led by Jean-Michel Claverie and Chantal Abergel of Aix-Marseille University in Marseille, France, made the discovery of the previously unknown virus, which has been dubbed Pithovirus sibericum and can be revived in the lab.
Lest Siberian excavation makes you think of frozen woolly mammoths, make no mistake: These giants are still decidedly microscopic. But in the diminutive world of viruses they’re larger than normal specimens, measuring 1.5 microns in length and 0.5 microns in diameter. The pandoraviruses, the largest viruses previously discovered, also by the team of Claverie and Abergel, measure 1 micron in length and 0.5 in diameter.
“‘Giant’ viruses are loosely defined as the ones that you can see under a regular microscope,” explained Claverie and Abergel when contacted via email.
Large and Complex
Giant viruses also dwarf other viruses in terms of genetic complexity. The newly discovered Pithovirus contains 500 genes, and the aforementioned Pandoravirus can contain up to 2,500.
For comparison, the HIV virus contains only about 12 genes, explained James Van Etten, a professor of plant pathology at the University of Nebraska, when reached for comment. (Van Etten is an authority on viruses and edited the new study.)
Amazingly, even after more than 30,000 years embedded in ancient permafrost, when Claverie and Abergel exposed amoebas in their lab to the virus, they found that the virus was still active and quickly infected the host cell. “We use amoeba on purpose as a safe bait for capturing viruses. We then immediately verify that they are not able to infect animal/human cells,” stressed the researchers.
Giant viruses are not just bigger but are hardier than others as well, said the researchers. This hardiness, along with a favorable environment, likely helped the newly discovered specimen stay intact for the thousands of years that it did. Viruses are often destroyed or rendered inactive by a number of factors, including light and biochemical degradation.
“Among known viruses, the giant viruses tend to be very tough, almost impossible to break open,” said Claverie and Abergel. “Special environments such as deep ocean sediments and permafrost are very good preservers of microbes [and viruses] because they are cold, anoxic [lacking oxygen], and in the dark.”
Intricate and Varied
The past decade has seen something of a renaissance in the discovery of large, genetically complex viruses, with the discovery of three distinct groups (Mimivirus, Pandoravirus, and now Pithovirus) suggesting that viruses can be much more intricate and varied than previously thought, and that giant viruses may not be especially uncommon.
The newly discovered diversity in genetic makeup and morphology among viruses leads Van Etten to surmise that different types of viruses may have evolved separately.
“The idea that all viruses evolved from one common origin, I suspect is not true,” said Van Etten.
Changing Climate: Growing Threat?
If long-buried viruses can be unearthed, what else might be capable of coming to the surface? Climate change as well as industrial activities may shake up the ancient ice enough to bring potential pathogens to the surface.
“Mining and drilling means … digging through these ancient layers for the first time in millions of years. If ‘viable’ [viral particles] are still there, this is a good recipe for disaster,” said Claverie and Abergel.
But Edward Mocarski, a professor of microbiology at Emory University, says the risk of a virus pathogenic to humans being released from the ice is very small.
“The idea would make a great movie but is extremely unlikely unless the virus came from a frozen human being who possibly died from a virus that is no longer in circulation,” said Mocarski when contacted via email.
“A very small proportion [of the viruses on Earth] represent viruses that can infect mammals and an even smaller proportion pose any risk to humans.”
University of Nebraska’s Van Etten agreed that such a situation was unlikely but possible with the right conditions.
“The biggest source of genes on the planet is probably from viruses, and they’re just everywhere, but in general they’re highly specific for the organisms that they grow in,” said Van Etten.
The researchers behind the discovery, Claverie and Abergel, believe that whether or not it’s likely, such a scenario remains feasible. They counsel vigilance and continued testing. As their latest research has shown, large DNA viruses may remain infectious for very long stretches of time.
“The fact that we might catch a viral infection from a long-extinct Neanderthal individual is a good demonstration that the notion that a virus could be ‘eradicated’ from the planet is plain wrong and gives us a false sense of security. At least a stock of vaccine should be kept, just in case,” said Claverie and Abergel.
Their research will now turn to assessing how real a threat these ancient viruses pose.
“We are now doing more work to analyze the DNA content of these permafrost layers in a search for the genetic signature of viruses resembling human pathogens,” said Claverie and Abergel, who stressed that they are not attempting to “revive” any such pathogenic viruses, but rather hoping to determine the potential danger.
“If we find some [human pathogens], then the risk will become more real. If not, we will be safe.”

Marilyn Monroe gedood omdat ze geheimen dreigde te onthullen
“Marilyn Monroe gedood omdat ze geheimen dreigde te onthullen”
De dood van Marilyn Monroe in 1962 was geen zelfmoord maar moord. Robert ‘Bobby’ Kennedy, de jongere broer van president John F. Kennedy, wilde voorkomen dat de actrice geheimen van de familie zou onthullen. Dat schrijven twee Amerikaanse onderzoeksjournalisten in hun boek The Murder of Marilyn Monroe: Case Closed, dat op 3 juni uitkomt.
Beide broers hadden een affaire met Norma Jean Baker, beter bekend als Marilyn Monroe. Het Amerikaanse sekssymbool wist te veel van de beruchte familie Kennedy en toen ze dreigde ermee naar buiten te komen is haar voorgoed het zwijgen opgelegd.
De ervaren onderzoeksjournalist Jay Margolis en bestseller-auteur Richard Buskin baseren zich op verklaringen van ooggetuigen. Acteur Peter Lawford zei: “Bobby Kennedy was vastbesloten haar het zwijgen op te leggen.” Volgens de auteurs gaf Ralph Greenson, de psychiater en minnaar van Marilyn, haar een fatale injectie in haar hart. Ambulancebroeders James Hall en Muray Liebowitz waren hier getuige van.
President John F. Kennedy stuurde zijn broer in de zomer van 1962 naar Los Angeles om Marilyn duidelijk te maken dat ze de president niet meer mocht bellen op het Witte Huis. Bobby kreeg echter een affaire met Marilyn, maar weigerde van zijn vrouw te scheiden. Marilyn dreigde alles te onthullen op een persconferentie. Ze hield de geheimen van de gebroeders Kennedy bij in een rood dagboek.
Bobby wilde dit dagboek koste wat kost in zijn bezit krijgen. Marilyn wilde niet meewerken, waarop hij Greenson instrueerde de zaak ‘op te lossen’. De psychiater stak de spuit zo hard in het lichaam van Monroe dat haar rib brak. De injectie met pentobarbital bleek later dodelijk. Het lichaam werd nog verplaatst om het op een zelfmoord te doen lijken. John F. Kennedy werd in 1963 vermoord en zijn broer Bobby in 1968.
Uit een gelekte CIA-memo, die dateert van 3 augustus 1962, blijkt dat de geplande persconferentie onder meer zou gaan over een geheime luchtmachtbasis waar president Kennedy wrakstukken van een gecrashte UFO had gezien. De memo werd in 1994 openbaar gemaakt.
Zijn er naast de oerknaltheorie nog andere hypothetische verklaringen voor het ontstaan van het bekende universum? We bespreken drie alternatieven voor de Big Bang.
Steady-statetheorie
Volgens deze kosmologische theorie was het heelal er altijd al en zal het altijd blijven uitdijen. De theorie werd in 1948 door zowel Hermann Bondi en Thomas Gold als Fred Hoyle opgesteld uit onvrede met het feit dat er in de oerknaltheorie een begin of scheppingsmoment wordt aangenomen.
Het heelal zag er volgens de steady-statetheorie in een ver verleden net zo uit als nu. Uit waarnemingen bleek dat het heelal continu uitdijt. Om het uiterlijk van het heelal constant te laten zijn, moet die uitzetting met constante snelheid plaatsvinden. Daarnaast moet de dichtheid van het heelal gelijk blijven, zelfs als het heelal uitdijt. Dit zou kunnen door het continu ‘bijmaken’ van materie uit het niets.
Een tegenslag was de ontdekking van de kosmische achtergrondstraling in 1965. Volgens de Big Bang-theorie is die een gevolg van de oerknal. Hoyle kwam later met de quasi steady-statetheorie, die uitging van meerdere Big Bangs om daarmee de kosmische achtergrondstraling te kunnen verklaren.
Theorie van het oscillerende heelal
Deze theorie ontkent de Big Bang niet, maar stelt dat er mogelijk vele opeenvolgende Big Bangs zijn geweest. Tussen iedere Big Bang was er een Big Crunch, een ineenstorting van het heelal als gevolg van de zwaartekracht. Misschien ontstaat hieruit weer een nieuw heelal. Indien het universum zich op deze manier blijft herhalen spreekt men van een pulserend heelal (Big Bounce).
Chaotische inflatie
In 1983 formuleerde de Russisch-Amerikaanse fysicus Andrei Linde de populaire theorie van de chaotische inflatie – een visie waarin ons heelal één van de talloze loten is aan een oneindig grote kosmische multiversum-boom. Begin 2014 werd het bewijs geleverd voor zijn theorie.
Volgens de oerknaltheorie zal het heelal uitdijen, maar als er meerdere ruimten zijn die dat ook doen, zullen ze elkaar op den duur kruisen. Dit hangt nauw samen met het idee van het multiversum. Er ontstaan nieuwe centra, waar materie zich opnieuw samenvoegt, en waar zodoende ook nieuwe oerknallen kunnen ontstaan. Zo ontstaat er een soort superheelal.
The Bible telling of Nephilim – angels coming to earth and mating with females may have been an interesting legend to explain a very real event that might have been seen around the world-
The Peruvian legends tell of the red-haired giants arriving on reed boats from long distances and settling in Peru without any females on board. A recent giant found in the Upper Midwest was buried with two human-sized females at his feet. These things make one wonder. Let's see what an early explorer reported –
From Pedro de Cieza de Leon:
As there is in Peru a story of some giants who landed on the coast at the point of Santa Elena, in the vicinity of the city of Puerto Viejo, I have resolved to mention what I was told about them, as I understood it, without taking into account the opinions of the common people and their various anecdotes, for they usually magnify events larger than life. The natives, repeating a story received from their forefathers from very remote times, say that there came from across the sea on reed rafts that were as large as big ships some men that were so big that an ordinary man of good size scarcely reached up to their knees: their members were in proportion to the size of their bodies, and it a monstrous thing to see their enormous heads and their hair hanging downabout their shoulders. Their eyes were as large as small plates. They say they had no beards and that some of them were clad in the skins of animals, and others only in the dress nature gave them. There were no women with them. (*This red-haired population of giants were reported around the world, showing a tendency to be sea-based people who traveled, seashells were prominent in the dig sites of giants as ornamental and reed boats were described by the Paiutes of the red-haired giants in the Great Basin in Nevada. )On reaching this point, they set up their camp like a village (and even in these times there is a memory of the site of their houses). As they found no supply of water they remedied the lack by making some very deep wells, a labor certainly worthy of record, being undertaken by such strong men as these must have been, to judge by their size. They dug these wells in the living rock until they came to the water, and afterwards they built the wells in stone from the water line upwards so that they would last for ages. In these wells the water is excellent and it is always so cold that it is very drink. “When these great men or giants had thus made their settlement and dug these wells or cisterns, they destroyed and ate all the supplies they could find in the neighborhood.It is said that one of them ate more than fifty of the natives of the land; and as the supply of food was not sufficient for them to maintain themselves, they caught much fish with nets and gear that they had. They lived in continuous hostility with the natives, because they slew the latter's women in order to have them, and they also slew the men for other reasons. (yet more talk of mating up with local women and eating the Native People). But the Indians were not numerous enough to kill these newcomers who occupied their land and lorded it over them; and although they held great discussions about this, they never dared attack them.
“After some years the giants were still in this region, and as they had no women of their own and the Indian women of the neighborhood were too small for them, or else because the vice was habitual to them and inspired by the demon, they practiced the unspeakable and horrible sin of sodomy, committing it openly and in public without fear of God or personal shame. The natives say that our Lord God, unwilling to conceal so wicked a sin, sent them a punishment suited to the beastliness of the crime, and when all the giants were together engaged in this accursed practice there came a fearful fire from heaven to the accompaniment of a great noise, in the midst of which a shining angel appeared holding a sharp, bright sword with which he slew them all at a single stroke, and the fire consumed them leaving only a few bones and skulls, which God allowed to remain unconsumed as a token of the punishment.
This is the account they give of the giants, and we believe that it happened, for it is said that very large bones have been found and still are found thereabouts and I have heard Spaniards say they have seen pieces of teeth which they thought must have weighed half a pound when whole, and who had also seen a piece of a shin-bone of wonderful size, all of which bears witness to the truth of the incident. In addition to this one can see the places where the sites of their villages were, and also the wells or cisterns they made. I cannot state whence or how these giants came there.
“In the present year of 1550 when in the city of Lima, I heard that when his excellency Don Antonio de Mendoza was viceroy and governor of New Spain, certain bones of men as big as these giants, and even bigger, were found there. I have heard too that in an ancient sepulcher in the city of Mexico or somewhere else in that kingdom certain bones of giants have been found. Since so many people saw them and attest having done so, it can therefore be credited that such giants did exist and indeed they may all have been of the same race. “At this point of Santa Elena, which is as I have said on the coast of Peru and in the district of the city of Puerto Viejo, there is a remarkable phenomenon: the existence of certain wells of seams of pitch of such excellent quality that it would be possible to tar all the ships one wished with it, since it flows from the earth. This pitch must be from some seam passing through that place: it comes out very hot,etc. “Thus far Pedro de Cieza, whose history we have followed to show the Indian tradition about the giants, and the well of pitch at the same place, for it too is remarkable.”
This account above would seem to jive with the “kernels of truth” in these legends. A tall race of red-haired people had been uncovered there. Well-fashioned water wells were discovered that were ancient. It would appear likely that ancient giants launched from the South Pacific islands and tested out other lands for their resources. These launched ships arrived and these marauding cannibalistic, but advanced people would terrorize the locals. These repeated legends of giants coming and raping the women were no doubt reenacted in many lands around the world where stories such as nephilim might have come to light through these legends of actual events. Were the giants angelic or alien? My firm belief is that they were of this earth, simply an earlier, perhaps more crude and brutal people, but also having more time to evolve technologies and language long before us. They were both devils and gods depending on how the locals felt about these advanced deadly people. And, ultimately the practice of sacrifices could have come from appeasing these gods with the blood they so craved, carrying on these devotions even after the giants were gone, in order to keep their spirits happy and to continue to have good crops and technology that they left them, sending a crude people into an advanced culture almost overnight from their exposure to the giant “gods.”
Animal mutilation has been taking place on this planet for hundreds if not thousands of years. Reports of animals found with organs removed, bloodless by methods mankind could not replicate were collected by author Charles Fort going back to the 1800; s. During my research I read claims that reference to the strange findings of bloodless, organ less animals that date back much further than that. This lets us know that we have been collecting data on this subject for at least a few hundred years.
Like most people I found this subject disturbing and dark. When I did read about it the entire topic was so unexplained and upsetting that I never wanted to look in to it past the knowledge that it still is an ongoing situation with bloodless surgically removed internal body organs missing and empty corpses of animals dumped to be found close to where they were originally taken.
It seems the dead empty corpses returned by who or whatever is doing these things drop them from a height leaving the animals embedded in to the ground by way of the weight of the remains hitting the ground from a long fall back to earth, This theory seems to be proven by way of some of the animal corpses being found stuck on the tops of tall tree limbs or in the wires and poles of our infrastructure.
In the past I have written a few articles warning the public that a worldwide oddity of half cat mutilations were taking place. The cats were taken by something and gutted with usually the top half of the head and front paws returned also bloodless with clear precision laser type cuts used to remove their internal organs. The poor cats are returned looking like a hand puppet to the areas from which they were taken in what appears to be on purpose for those who owned or knew the cat to find. This cat mutilation has been going on for about the last 30 years that has been recorded in news reports or articles found all over the world. I found all of this extremely upsetting and knew it needed to be addressed as it certainly was not going away.
I did write about it only to find many people were offended and angry at me for writing about it as well as a few paranormal sites refusing to publish my warning articles about the half cat horror.
I hated this subject and did not want to be involved in it so did as everyone else has been doing which is to ignore it or look the other way
Recently I read an article by Dr. Richard Bonenfant in which he discusses the awful continued slaughter, mutilation and return of animal emptied corpses worldwide. Dr. Bonenfant is well qualified as a man I would listen to concerning this serious dark subject. Dr. Bonenfant enlisted in the Army / Special Forces in 1962. Since that time he has received Bachelor Degrees in Archaeology and Psychology; a Master’s Degree in Anthropology and a Doctorate in Psychology. His work as a Research Scientist in Albany, New York, which assisted him in discovering an acute interest in exceptional experiences.
I quickly discovered by way of his writing that animal mutilations were more widespread then I had thought. It included cattle, horses, goats and basically most large farm or ranch type animal life forms. He informed me that the same mutilations found in our controlled environments of ranches and farms was being found out in the wilds where large wild beasts were also being found all over the planet This I found extremely upsetting and decided to contact Dr. Bonnefant for an interview with me and Randy Maugans who is the host of ‘ Off Planet Radio’.
We were very fortunate to have Dr. Bonnefant agree and we were able to tape a fantastic interview with him where we were able to discuss not only what is going on but many theories to who and why it is being done.
Sadly I learned during this show that humans have slowly been added to the strange on going mutilation problem which I found extremely upsetting and why I feel it time for us all to start to investigate and demand more research concerning these horrific mutilation events.
I know after talking with Dr. Bonenfant and Randy Maugans that the opinions I use to have about this subject were most likely wrong. Since black helicopters were mentioned around many of the reports of the mutilations I quickly adapted a government is doing it opinion which quickly was washed away once I found out that reports had been found dating as far back at least to the 1800′s if not older. There were no flying machines during that time period or surgical procedures available to do what was being done in the mutilation of the animals.
I also learned by way of our conversation that there may be many different reasons for this activity to be taking place including long term case studies of some type of experiment or interference of some kind with the living animals on our planet including humans. These experiments could involve watching, creating or inserting disease into our animal kingdom or somehow manipulating our food supply for reasons we may not be able to understand. I do know that after spending time talking to Dr. Bonenfant this subject of strange advanced style of precise mutilation and inference being done to the living creatures of this planet has been going on for at least hundreds if not thousands of years.
We do report that it takes place but not in the manner it deserves. This is a serious issue that deserves our serious attention. We also do little to research why and who or what is doing this across the world which is a huge mistake on our part and seems to be yet another one of those big topics we love to kick under the carpet instead of dealing with head on.
I came away from our conversation thinking that not only are there more cases of mutilation going on with many more living creatures on this planet then I fully understood but also they could be being done by more than one source and for a multitude of reasons all of which we are completely ignorant and ill informed about. It is time for that to stop and for us all to need and want to know what is really going on with this disturbing issue of worldwide mutilations.
I have placed our radio interview on this horrific and serious matter of mutilation on my blog site and hope you will understand how serious this topic is and that you need to pay more attention to it and listen to our conversation with Dr. Bonenfant to increase your insight to this growing disturbing topic.

This is a story from someone who wishes to stay anonymous. I read this story and spent some time locating this person to try an obtain an interview. After promising several times I would not tell who he was. He allowed me to interview him. This is a brief rundown of his story. The interview will follow.
I will try to cut most details out and get to the main story. It was 1988. I usually would be asleep by 8.p.m. nightly. I had to be at work by 5:30 a.m. every morning so I made sure to get my sleep. Anyway. One night I was awoken by a bunch of dogs barking loudly. I was very confused when I woke up because I wasn’t in my bed when I woke up. I was actually in the middle of my street walking. I found out the dogs were barking at me.
At this time I realized that I had no control of myself all I could move were my eyes. The next thing I remember was I was walking to this wooded bike trail area near my home. As I crossed a little bridge I knelt down on one knee. With two hands on my bent knee I peeked threw some trees and bushes and saw a craft of some type. It was ball shaped no lights and landed under these huge power lines. I never saw the craft from the outside fly. As I looked at the craft an opening opened up and two smaller than me being came out of the craft.
The next thing I remember was that I was boarding the craft. As I walked onto the craft the two beings followed me in the craft. The craft was kind of cramped and dark. It was dark but you could see like a neon kind of darkness. I then bent down and asked the being where we are going. They answered me and said they are taking me behind the moon. I then asked why?
They said they couldn’t be detected on earth’s radar from there. I said OK then we took off. I looked out of some kind of window type thing and saw us leaving the earth. We passed the moon then made a u-turn type of turn back. This took less than 10 seconds. For some reason I wasn’t scared at all. I actually acted like I knew them. The next thing I recall was the only time I was really scared. I woke up again, this time naked in a funnel shaped pool filled with a greenish black gel type liquid. The pool had to be 20 yards wide all around. And pretty deep. The pool was made of some kind of shiny metal. With the gel it made the surface very slippery and you would slip under the gel if you tried to get out. I then realized something very odd at that time. I wasn’t alone.
There were at least 15 other humans with me. All of them screaming and panicking. This is what scared me. I didn’t know what they were screaming about. I thought they knew something I didn’t, so I got scared. Some were under the gel moving around I could see. Most were trying to escape. One man kept climbing half way out. The closer he got to the top he would get hit by some sort of beam then he’d slid back into the pool. I thought this guy was insane, if he did get out where would he go? (I thought) I didn’t see who was telling me but they where telling me not to be scared. They told me I would be fine and that I could breath the gel. They said I could eat it and digest it. I couldn’t drown in it. We could live in the gel. It also recycled human waste back into the gel.
I believed some of the humans were in the pool for years by the way they were acting. I figured a way to be under the gel and still breath air. That way they wouldn’t hit me with the beam and make me slide under. I blacked out after that. The next things I remember are some pretty vivid memories. I must let you know that I am deathly frightened of frogs. I know it sounds crazy but it’s my one phobia. It’s their skin. Back to the story. I was rudely awaken by a being armpit high holding my hand taking me somewhere. I remember the touch of their hands it’s woke me up from what ever I was under. I tugged away and started to threaten them. I clinched my fist like I was going to fight. I said get away from me and if they touched me again I was going to hit them. He told me if I would do that I would change the world, as we know it. I knew if I hit them in the head my fist would go right threw them.
I didn’t like the feel of their skin and I thought I sure wouldn’t want its brains all over me. So I was kind of stuck in defending myself or making a huge nasty mess all over me. That’s when I realized that I was communicating to them with out my mouth. I knew what they were thinking and they knew what I was thinking. It made things difficult for me at first.
That’s when the smaller beings brought over this taller being, a little taller than me. As the taller being approached me he told the smaller being that this is a (the) prophet. I looked at his face for maybe half a second. His face grossed me out so I never looked at him again. If I looked at him again then he’d know how I felt about his appearance. I didn’t want to offend him because I like this one he made me feel comfortable.
He explained that they wanted to do some medical examinations on me and if I would cooperated. I made a deal with him if they didn’t touch me, hurt me or scare me then I would do it. He promised then I aloud them to do what they wanted. He also said he would answer all my questions that asked. He walked me around as we talked. I looked at the ground the entire time so not to look at him. The next thing I remember was the Medical Examination.
First thing that I remember was coming out of a black out lying on a table. I was not scared what so ever. I trusted them. And by being able to read their minds I know they weren’t lying to me. As I remember they took some skin from my right arm. It was like the thinnest layer possible. Unviable to my eyes, but all they needed.
Next they took semen from me. I didn’t understand this. Again I wont go into to much details simply because this story would be about nine-hundred pages long. I asked about this procedure later. The last thing they did to me was the strangest of all. They took my right eye out of my head. I actually saw the back of my eyeball and a cord or veins connected to it. I instantly ask about this. Next they put a babe like metal ball in my eye socket. About the size of a broken piece of rice. I asked, “What’s that for?” They said so they can monitor me from space. I thought it was so they could see everything that I can see, like a video camera or something. Then they put my eye back in then that was that? My next memories were the taller being talking and I. This was the best part. Because he answered my questions and showed me things in my head.
I don’t know the exact order of my questions but I did ask away. I must inform you that they communicated to me like an adult would talk to a five-year-old child. With simple words. Stuff like that. I thought it was funny. Anyway. The first question was about my semen. Why? He told me so they can make baby humans in space. I simply said, “ooh”. But then as I asked him questions he put visions in my head and showed me in an instant how they do it. As we were walking and talking about the humans in space he walked into this doorway that you can’t even see until you look in it. Just as we were talking about humans in space these two kids about thirteen to fifteen years old one male one female turned to look at us. Both human. Full blooded perfect human beings.
They were both sitting down facing away from us. They turned around looked in my eyes. He sort of introduced us I guess. Then they turned around and continued to do what they were doing. Believe it or not they were either controlling, driving or operating the craft or building were in. They were in control of operating something. I was tripping of this because they knew what they were doing and just little kids. They totally trusted them. Crazy stuff. And being that you can read minds in this situation I knew the kids won’t scared or uncomfortable. They were programmed to master their job. There is much more to this topic also but that will scratch the surface of it. As we left I noticed he was taking me somewhere else. This was kind of confusing to me also. This time it’s like the room just appeared. We were just instantly in it. I think it’s there doorways. They are unexplainable.
Next thing I see is a dead cow hanging I believe head up butt down. Nothing to my eyes was holding it up. I was baffled. I know cows can weigh tons but it was just hanging. Next thing they did was dip it into some kind of gel in a box shaped pool just big enough for the cow to fit in. Strangely enough the gel didn’t overflow when they put the cow in. The pool was filled up. Next they lifted the cow out and it was cut, dead and I was starting to get scared. I thought I was next. But then he showed me why they do this. It all related to the humans in space. He said what do humans eat as a child or infant. I said milk. He said exactly. What do adult humans eat? I said hamburgers stakes and food.
Again he said exactly. Then he put a vision again in my head and explained it all. They can’t just take earth cows in space. They do just like they told me; he said we make our own cows in space. Germ free no fleas no illnesses pure cows. Just like the space humans perfect specimens. Like I said I have much more information on that topic also. Then I asked about monitoring me behind my eye. They said humans do it all the time. He explained like this. How does a tiger explain to itself when it hears a helicopter coming out of the skies in the jungle? A big metal load scary object.
Then all of a sudden they feel a pain in there hip and lose all control of everything except there eyes. Then creatures come out of the object and start doing things to it. Like tagging it’s ear. Like even taking teeth. They even take semen to preserve the species from extinction some times. Basically scaring the crap out of the tiger for it’s own good in a way. He said so why is it cruel for them to do it but not for humans? After reading this amazing story I conducted this interview.
I will refer to myself as Mike and the person telling the story as Bo.
Mike: I have heard a lot of abduction stories in the past. I was under the understanding they some how erased your memory. Why can you remember so much?
Bo: In the beginning I did not remember a lot. In fact very little. I had some medical issues and had to have surgery. They gave me Anesthesia. After the surgery I became more aware. I started remembering things in vivid detail about my abduction. It is almost like it turned part of my mind back on.
Mike: When did this event occur?
Bo: In 1988 I awoke to dogs barking. When I opened my eyes I was outside my house being escorted by 3 smaller beings to a round ball shaped craft sitting under a heavy power line.
Mike Can you describe this craft in more detail? Bo I saw it was round some type of Orb It had no lights on it what so ever. When the door opened and I was led into the craft I had to duck. I am only 5’4 I saw no windows. I estimate there was enough room for 13-15 people in there.
Mike: What did these beings look like? Bo They were very short. I am 5’4 and they came to about the height of my arm pit. I noticed big eyes small mouth.
Mike: How did they communicate with you?
Bo: At first it was talking normal. It then turned to some how mental. I would be thinking of things and then they would answer me by putting visions and answers in my head.
Mike: Were these little guys what people call gray’s? Bo I am not really sure. I found them very appalling so I keep looking down so I would not have to look directly at them.
Mike: How overall did they treat you?
Bo: The little ones were very rude and I would even say obnoxious things. I did not like them at all. Mike What happened when you entered the craft? Bo I was asking where are you taking me? Am I ever coming back. Telepathically they told me to relax. We were going to what I knew as the moon. I would be allowed to come home.
Mike: Did you in fact go to the moon? Can you remember anything about the flight?
Bo: Yes, the orb I was in did something. When it took off I was pulled forward. This was really weird to me. Anything I have been in that left fast, Launched me backwards. This orb I was pulled forward. 15 seconds after I felt this I was told we were on the moon. Mike Then what happened?
Bo: The next thing I remember I came to, I was naked in a pool filled with a greenish gel and 14 or 15 other humans. Some where moving under the gel, a woman was screaming and crying for help. Another man was trying to crawl out of the pool. It was very slippery. He would get about ½ way out and a bluish colored beem came out and kept knocking him back into the pool.
Mike: Can you describe this pool to me?
Bo: Yes ,Can you imagine the shape of a drill head? You drill into something just to get the hole started so the edges are rounded.
Mike: Yes Bo That is the shape. Like it was built with a giant drill.
Mike: Can you explain the gel you were in? There purpose for putting you in there?
Bo: I was thinking to myself why am I here what are they going to do to me trying not to freak out. They put into my mind the gel was harmless. I was told If I went under I could breath the gel and even eat it. If I had to defecate in the gel after eating it it was ok. It would come out as it went in. Seeing people moving around under the gel I believed them.
Mike: Did you go under and breath the gel Bo No, I refused to go under. To your last question, I believe the gel was a way to decontaminate us. Mike Then what happened?
Bo: Three of the smaller ones who took me to the orb came in to escort me to a room. I did not like these guys at all. They kept touching me and I could not stand there touch.
Mike: What did it feel like when they would touch you?
Bo: It wasn’t warm like a human touch but it was not cold. It was like touching a fish with little prick lies on it. They kept touching me walking me thru this hall. I was starting to have thoughts of hitting one of them.
Mike: Couldn’t they read those thoughts?
Bo: Yes, I am sure they did because they must have called this really big guy who walked up to us. He asked me to relax and said he would help me thru this and answer my questions. He then walked me into a room.
Mike: Can you explain the layout of the place you where in? Perhaps how it was lit?
Bo: No it was dark. I knew it must be large. There were lights. But nothing like I have ever seen. They were like black lights. But nothing glowed like it does in a black light.
Mike: What did the tall guy look like?
Bo: He looked very human but hatefully ugly. I did not want to offend him so I continued to look at the ground when we spoke. I did not want to offend him. I had a very strong feeling he was trying to help me and he was not pushy or rude like the little guys.
Mike: So what was in the room they took you into?
Bo: It looked from what I could see to be doctor’s room. The big guy said to me; they wanted to put something into me for tracking reasons. He asked if I would cooperate? I said; as long as you don’t hurt me. He said; I will be with you, they will not harm you in anyway. I trusted him. He led me to a chair and had me sit down in it.
Mike: Please continue.
Bo: Well the little guys look at me and asked me to turn my head to the right just a little bit. I do not know how they did it, but with my right eye I could see my other eyeball. I watched them put a very small shiny object. About the size of a half grain of rice into the back of my eyeball. Within less than a minute, they were done and my full vision was restored. Mike Wow this is amazing.
Bo: Why do you think I don’t like to publicize this stuff. People will think I am full of it. But Mike, as sure as I sit here I am telling you the gods honest truth.
Mike: Before we continue would you answer a question for me?
Bo: Yes
Mike: If your name is not released would you be willing to take a polygraph or any other truth agent to verify what you are telling us.
Bo: ABSOLUTELY without hesitation.
Mike: Thank you. So what happened next?
Bo: The big Alien who I may add was human. But god awful ugly. Walked me into some type of control room. What I found amazing was the people running this room turned out to be 13-15 year old humans. I know because they looked right at me and smiled.
They were perfect. I was thinking what do these guys eat? How do they live up here? As I was leaving the room with my escort. We came to a room and went in. I saw a cow hanging head up. I could not see anything holding it in place. He showed me in my head, How they actually make the cows as they need them. I asked him why. He replied; What do Babies eat? Milk of course. What do adults eat? Meat?
Correct. He said by them cloning the food needed for humans it was pure. No diseases or imperfections. Mike: So what happened next.
Bo: We stood around and he showed me thing of what was and what was in our near future. They have been around longer than we have. Helping us all along the way. Including the Egyptians. He explained they cannot live on Earth because they age differently here than we do.
Mike: Did they help the Mayans? As well?
Bo: No, they did get help. But not from them. But they showed me Atlantis. It was awesome. They had everything. They abused the technology given to them. Thus it was there own doing they erased there selfs. The Egyptians, they helped. There are traces of them left behind in the runes of Egypt.
I asked the big guy why the back of the moon. He said to me thru my mind. It is the only place in our solar system that they cannot be detected by humans. We fly by and swing into the back. He assured me by the rate we are doing things. By the year 2015 the whole world will have no doubt they are here. We will first come across them on the Moon. Then soon after, we will look up into the sky and it will be full of there ships. Thousands of them. Leaving no doubt that they are real.
The world will clean its self again by eliminating all life on her. They are to repopulate us after this happens. Like they have done so many times before. They will save the human race. Remember, they are us a million years from now.
After this I found myself back in my house with 5 minutes to get to work.

Blue UFO sighting in the sky above Washington on 11th May 2014
New interesting video footage of a bright blue UFO light recorded in the night sky above Washington on 11th May 2014.
Witness said: Mysterious blue orb travels over Washington skies. There was a spate of sightings around the world this past month of fast moving and intelligent blue UFO’s worldwide.
Really interesting case from Holland, Michigan where ‘panicked’ citizens flooded 911 operators with UFO reports from around Lake Michigan and police officers who were dispatched to investigate also witnessed the objects – the case also made international news due to the National Weather Service Radar Station picking up very strange radar returns in the same area (and at the same time) as the UFOs were being witnessed. residents of Southwest Michigan began seeing strange things in the skies over Lake Michigan to the south of Holland. Blue, white, red, and green lights, sometimes attached to cylindrical objects, and sometimes performing unusual maneuvers, were reported.
911 operators began receiving calls at around 9:30 p.m. about something that looked like “a string of Christmas lights way up in the sky.” It wasn’t just a few people reporting these things; it was counties all up and down Lake Michigan. Some sources said 300 witnesses, including several police officers, saw the lights.
There were so many reports that one of the Ottawa County 911 operators decided to call the National Weather Service radar operator at Muskegon. The conversations that 911 had with the NWS operator were taped and later made their way into the media. The radar operator’s voice couldbe heard describing abrupt movements of the object and multiple objects appearing on the radar screen..
Location: Near Castelleale, Romagna Province Italy Date: mid November 1974
Time: 17:30
The witness, a woman named Signorina Giovanna Sensoli was attending to the animals in the farmyard beside the house, when she was struck by their strange behavior. Chickens and rabbits were running about as though terrified and hiding in any corner they could find. She looked around to see what was going on, and noticed some of the fowls were looking upwards. Son instinctively she did the same, and to her great astonishment, she saw hanging in the air above the house, at roof-top height, and about four meters from her, a “man” who was seated on a box that was swinging to and fro and who was looking around as though seeking something. “He was big about 2 meters in height and dressed in a very shining one-piece garment with green, red, and white markings, and in a pair of skiing boots with square toes and square heels. “His features seemed to be dark, but a helmet with visor covered his face, and I only managed to see his eyes, more or less like ours, and to tell you the truth we gazed at each other for a brief instant. “Well this man was hanging there in the air above the house and rocking to and fro, with one foot stretched down towards the roof as though he wanted to support himself on it. From the “box” (which was about 50 centimeters Deep and about the same width—I don’t know how long—) there was a rod sticking up, a rod with colored stripes. It must have been the control-handle for the motor, and it gave out a sharp hum that I could hear very clearly. “A bit disconcerted at the sight, I shouted several times to my mother, but she didn’t reply at once. Meanwhile, maybe because of my shouts, the man had moved away slowly eastwards across our threshing-floor area, which is 20 meters wide. I went over in the same direction to which the man was looking, I saw a very vivid light, as big as the full moon, coming from the north and also slowly moving eastwards. “As soon as I caught sight of it, I was overcome by a wave of heat. And, although there was a bit of mist at the time, the whole place around, the house and the threshing-floor, were lit up vividly for a few second like bright daylight. “After passing across the threshing floor area, the man halted above a flat-topped hayrick, as though going to land on it. I approached him once more, puzzled by his incomprehensible gestures and once more we were staring at one another, this time at a distance of about three meters (this being the height of the hayrick). “A few instants later, he departed, heading eastwards, with that light following at a distance, behind him. “At a bit over a kilometer or so in that direction lays the small cemetery of San Clemente, located on a hill. I watched the two objects—the man and the light—circle several times around the cemetery, and halt for a few seconds over it. Meanwhile, my mother had finally come out, and I showed her where to look, but she, not knowing what had happened, simply said, “It must be a parachutist!” She was merely able to make out something in the distance, but unfortunately without being able to discern any actual details that might confirm my testimony. “I did not see the light again, but the man must surely have dropped down into the cemetery and have spent the night there. “The whole thing lasted about fifteen minutes.”
The witness, a young boy at the time was walking through a farm field when he encountered a landed extraterrestrial spacecraft and close to the craft stood a tall human-like alien wearing a gray shirt, dark pants and thick rubber sole boots. The witness that was able to examine the craft closely described it as large, disc-shaped, with the exterior having a brushed surface like a…nodized aluminum and silver in color. He was invited inside by the tall humanoid, which had brown hair and blue eyes. Inside there was a circular opening in the ceiling approximately 4 feet across and a spiral staircase. The railings of the staircase had a brownish red tint to them; the steps were black with a red trim on the outer edge. The floor was black, and also resembled anodized aluminum. There were three high-back swivel chairs on a console. On the console slightly to the left of each chair there were three monitors approximately 12 inches across. Behind the staircase there was a black wall and there was a separate control panel imbedded into the wall for turning the power on or off. Later under hypnosis the witness remember additional details including meeting a female human-like alien and looking at a large monitor which showed what appeared to be magnetic fields lines surrounding the Earth. A monitor on the right had a color picture of the Earth. (The witness and his family were later involved in further encounters).
Little green men may certainly exist, but it can’t be confirmed that they’ve fired on the Taliban. A quick perusal of the “Section 51″ channel — with dozens of videos of soldiers and Marines encountering supposed “UFO’s” uploaded — should convince most this is a hoax, but let’s look at the video:
That very fake-looking UFO hovering above the explosion said to be in “Afghanistan — March 2014″ is, well, obviously fake. This little computer-generated addition was thrown over a real video of a car bomb factory being blown to bits in Iraq that the Section 51 uploaders flipped.
“The authenticity of the video cannot be confirmed. The U.S. military has not announced any UFO sightings in Afghanistan,” wrote Joel Landau at the New York Daily News.Well, obviously.
Magnetar formation mystery solved? Supernova explosions and dizzying spins in a binary system
Magnetar formation mystery solved? Supernova explosions and dizzying spins in a binary system
This artist's impression shows the magnetar in the very rich and young star cluster Westerlund 1. This remarkable cluster contains hundreds of very massive stars, some shining with a brilliance of almost one million suns. European astronomers have for the first time demonstrated that this magnetar -- an unusual type of neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field -- probably was formed as part of a binary star system. The discovery of the magnetar's former companion elsewhere in the cluster helps solve the mystery of how a star that started off so massive could become a magnetar, rather than collapse into a black hole. Credit: ESO/L. Calçada
Magnetars are the bizarre super-dense remnants of supernova explosions. They are the strongest magnets known in the Universe — millions of times more powerful than the strongest magnets on Earth. A team of European astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) now believe they’ve found the partner star of a magnetar for the first time. This discovery helps to explain how magnetars form — a conundrum dating back 35 years — and why this particular star didn’t collapse into a black hole as astronomers would expect.
When a massive star collapses under its own gravity during a supernova explosion it forms either a neutron star or black hole. Magnetars are an unusual and very exotic form of neutron star. Like all of these strange objects they are tiny and extraordinarily dense — a teaspoon of neutron star material would have a mass of about a billion tonnes — but they also have extremely powerful magnetic fields. Magnetar surfaces release vast quantities of gamma rays when they undergo a sudden adjustment known as a starquake as a result of the huge stresses in their crusts.
The Westerlund 1 star cluster [1], located 16,000 light-years away in the southern constellation of Ara (the Altar), hosts one of the two dozen magnetars known in the Milky Way. It is called CXOU J164710.2-455216 and it has greatly puzzled astronomers.
“In our earlier work we showed that the magnetar in the cluster Westerlund 1 must have been born in the explosive death of a star about 40 times as massive as the Sun. But this presents its own problem, since stars this massive are expected to collapse to form black holes after their deaths, not neutron stars. We did not understand how it could have become a magnetar,” says Simon Clark, lead author of the paper reporting these results.
Astronomers proposed a solution to this mystery. They suggested that the magnetar formed through the interactions of two very massive stars orbiting one another in a binary system so compact that it would fit within the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. But, up to now, no companion star was detected at the location of the magnetar in Westerlund 1, so astronomers used the VLT to search for it in other parts of the cluster. They hunted for runaway stars — objects escaping the cluster at high velocities — that might have been kicked out of orbit by the supernova explosion that formed the magnetar. One star, known as Westerlund 1-5 [2], was found to be doing just that.
“Not only does this star have the high velocity expected if it is recoiling from a supernova explosion, but the combination of its low mass, high luminosity and carbon-rich composition appear impossible to replicate in a single star — a smoking gun that shows it must have originally formed with a binary companion,” adds Ben Ritchie (Open University), a co-author on the new paper.
This discovery allowed the astronomers to reconstruct the stellar life story that permitted the magnetar to form, in place of the expected black hole [3]. In the first stage of this process, the more massive star of the pair begins to run out of fuel, transferring its outer layers to its less massive companion — which is destined to become the magnetar — causing it to rotate more and more quickly. This rapid rotation appears to be the essential ingredient in the formation of the magnetar’s ultra-strong magnetic field.
In the second stage, as a result of this mass transfer, the companion itself becomes so massive that it in turn sheds a large amount of its recently gained mass. Much of this mass is lost but some is passed back to the original star that we still see shining today as Westerlund 1-5.
“It is this process of swapping material that has imparted the unique chemical signature to Westerlund 1-5 and allowed the mass of its companion to shrink to low enough levels that a magnetar was born instead of a black hole — a game of stellar pass-the-parcel with cosmic consequences!” concludes team member Francisco Najarro (Centro de Astrobiología, Spain).
It seems that being a component of a double star may therefore be an essential ingredient in the recipe for forming a magnetar. The rapid rotation created by mass transfer between the two stars appears necessary to generate the ultra-strong magnetic field and then a second mass transfer phase allows the magnetar-to-be to slim down sufficiently so that it does not collapse into a black hole at the moment of its death.
Notes:
[1] The open cluster Westerlund 1 was discovered in 1961 from Australia by Swedish astronomer Bengt Westerlund, who later moved from there to become ESO Director in Chile (1970-74). This cluster is behind a huge interstellar cloud of gas and dust, which blocks most of its visible light. The dimming factor is more than 100,000, and this is why it has taken so long to uncover the true nature of this particular cluster.
Westerlund 1 is a unique natural laboratory for the study of extreme stellar physics, helping astronomers to find out how the most massive stars in the Milky Way live and die. From their observations, the astronomers conclude that this extreme cluster most probably contains no less than 100,000 times the mass of the Sun, and all of its stars are located within a region less than 6 light-years across. Westerlund 1 thus appears to be the most massive compact young cluster yet identified in the Milky Way galaxy.
All the stars so far analysed in Westerlund 1 have masses at least 30-40 times that of the Sun. Because such stars have a rather short life — astronomically speaking — Westerlund 1 must be very young. The astronomers determine an age somewhere between 3.5 and 5 million years. So, Westerlund 1 is clearly a newborn cluster in our galaxy.
[2] The full designation for this star is Cl* Westerlund 1 W 5.
[3] As stars age, their nuclear reactions change their chemical make-up — elements that fuel the reactions are depleted and the products ofthe reactions accumulate. This stellar chemical fingerprint is first rich in hydrogen and nitrogen but poor in carbon and it is only very late in the lives of stars that carbon increases, by which point hydrogen and nitrogen will be severely reduced — it is thought to be impossible for single stars to be simultaneously rich in hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon, as Westerlund 1-5 is.

UFO mania: Alien Star Map Found In Kupang, Indonesia?
New photographs have emerged which apparently show Alien artifacts. The pictures released show two strange rocks fused together that contain strange symbols and carvings.
What’s more extraordinary is that the rocks are engraved with a star map, very similar to the plaque that was designed by Carl Sagan and Frank Drake, and was placed on-board the Pioneer 10 probe, launched in 1972.
The rocks also have a magnetic field, which seems to emanate from the rocks when they are near any electric or electronic apparatus, Did an Extraterrestrial explorer leave a calling card behind?

Mankind's anthropocentric view of itself impedes our ability to take an open-minded view of our uniqueness or lack thereof in the universe. Technological advances in astronomy have begun to tear away at the uniqueness of Earth. The question to entertain is the likelihood of intelligent life in the universe.
"... as a society we have difficulty dealing with the possibility that intelligent life may reach us first and may have already done so."

On February 10, a US Navy flight, Atlantic – Continental Air Transport Squadron one, located at USN Air Station, Patuxent River, Maryland, was out of Keflavik, Iceland at 49-50 degrees north latitude and 50-03 degrees west longitude about 150 kilometers [90 miles] west of Gander, Newfoundland out over the Atlantic Ocean. The aircraft was probably bound for Gander to refuel judging by its position and course of 230 degrees true, though the report does not mention this. US Naval Reserve Lieutenant Graham Bethune, co-pilot of Flight 125, was occupying the captain’s seat on the left side of the cockpit in the passenger plane when he first sighted a huge object [at least] 300 feet in diameter on a near collision course with their aircraft. The co-pilot stated in his official report,… I observed a glow of light below the horizon about 1,000 to 1,500 feet above the water. We both, the pilot as well, observed its course and motion for about 4 or 5 minutes before calling it to the attention of the other crew members. Suddenly its angle of attack changed. Its altitude and size increased as though its speed was in excess of 1,000 miles per hour. It closed in so fast that the first feeling was we would collide in midair. At this time, its angle changed and the color changed. It then appeared definitely circular and reddish orange on its perimeter. It reversed its course and tripled its speed until it was last seen disappearing over the horizon. The co-pilot’s report goes on to say that the object came within five miles of their aircraft which was borne out by radar evidence of the encounter because the object had been tracked by DEW Line Ground Radar at the base in Goose Bay, Labrador.
Maj. Donald E. Keyhoe statement:
When the plane landed, the entire crew was interrogated by AF Intelligence officers. At their destination, Patuxent Naval Air Station in Maryland, the pilot and the rest were questioned again by Naval Intelligence and required to sign full reports. Later, a government scientist (supposedly from the CIA) confidentially showed the pilot secret UFO photos – one portraying a disc like the one over the Atlantic. In a final interview, the commander was interviewed by Air Technical Intelligence officers at Wright-Patterson AFB. But none of the Navy or Air Force men, or the government scientist, would answer any questions about the UFOs.
In the past several weeks, the subject of livestock mutilations has been discussed...in particular, on Beyond The Edge Radio with our guests Christopher O'Brien and JC Johnson. In the past, I have posted a few of the investigations by JC Johnson and his group Crypto Four Corners in relation to some of these mutilations. I thought it would be prudent to re-publish two of the accounts from 2010-11, so the readers had a better idea of what these investigators have been seeing and discussing:
Sheep Mutilation Mystery - Dine' Navajo Reservation, Near Hogback, NM
According to my friend and colleague J.C. Johnson of Crypto Four Corners, in March 2010, 24 sheep were mutilated at a farm near Hogback, New Mexico, on the Dine' Navajo Reservation. The livestock owner explains that there were large talon marks but very little blood and no evisceration. Was this an attack by a large flying predator? Why were the carcasses left intact? Could this have been a Chupacabras? Was this another example of animal mutilation and experimentation by non-terrestrials, aliens or government entities?
J.C. mentioned that a large cryptid bird or pterosaur may have been responsible for this act. That theory is not as far-fetched as it may initially sound.
For many generations, people in New Mexico and parts of Texas say they've seen birds so big they seem prehistoric.
One man claims the rugged landscape near Las Cruces hides a mystery that's haunted him for several years.
Dave Zander has lived near the Doña Ana Mountains for more than 30 years spending almost all his spare time hiking, exploring and fossil hunting in the range between the Robledo and Organ mountains.
He saw something that he's unable to explain and many people find hard to believe.
He recalls the day eleven years ago when he spotted something extraordinary: two creatures perched on a mountain less than a mile away.
"These creatures were so huge they looked like the size of small planes," Dave Zander said. "All of the sudden one of them jumped off dropped off the top of the mountain, came down the front of the mountain and all the sudden these huge wings just spread out.
"I would say the wings were at least a 20-foot wingspan."
Definitely something out of the ordinary.
"Not a normal bird, definitely of a giant variety," Zander continued. "It makes you feel like it could come over and carry you off if it wanted to."
Zander witness a real-life scene out of the movie Jurassic Park?
One ancient bird in the vicinity is an Andean condor living at the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque. But it's wingspan of 12 feet pales to what Zander described: birds with an unprecedented twenty-foot wingspan, with pink bald heads and all-black bodies, and feathers on their enormous wings.
There is nothing on modern record like it.
"In comparison a 20 foot wingspan would truly be a monster and something undocumented by science," cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard said. "I believe what Dave Zander may have seen are surviving teratorns."
Gerhard has made a career studying prehistoric birds.
"What's interesting the reports of these giant raptor-like birds to continue into modern times," he said. "We seem to have a large concentration of them here in the Southwest particularly in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas as well as New Mexico and parts of Arizona."
The book includes sightings in different clusters over the past 30 years.
In 1972 in Maxwell in northeastern New Mexico, Ronald Monteleone of Trinidad, Colo., reported what he thought was a pterodactyl flying out of an arroyo.
In Lordsburg in the 1800s locals talked constantly about the sightings of pterosaurs.
And a picture circulated the country in 1890 out of Tombstone, Ariz., but it's never been considered totally legitimate.
"Other eyewitnesses are describing specifically giant feathered dark birds with an enormous wing span," Gerhard said.
Gerhard said his research falls into two different descriptions from witnesses. Some said the birds look like the prehistoric pterodactyl while others, like the creatures described by Zander, resemble the ancient thunderbird from Native American mythology.
You can find thunderbird images atop many totem poles and also carved into the lava rocks of the Petroglyph National Monument in Albuquerque. Similar images are found in petroglyphs all over North America.
According to legend, the thunderbird is said to have a wingspan the length of two canoes with the ability to deafen people with the sound of its flapping wings.
"It is definitely a real animal, according to the native peoples that lived here," Gerhard said. "It's not necessarily a legendary animal."
Bloodless Carnage: Livestock Attacks Continue in the Four Corners
WARNING - GRAPHIC MATERIAL!
JC Johnson posted a video in July 2011 that referenced a recent raid and killing of 7 sheep, including a large ram, on a farm in the Navajo lands in New Mexico. The culprit is unknown though evidence suggests a bi-pedal or upright creature. The most astonishing aspect of this particular raid is that there was very little blood found at the scene. Many of the sheep had puncture wounds but scant blood traces were left after the carnage. It didn't seem like there was any feeding on the carcasses...though the 300-400 lb. ram was dragged a fair distance.
Mai-cob
There have been reports of canine-like hominids in the area...not unlike those described as shape shifters. In fact, there has been trace evidence collected at earlier events which is currently being tested for DNA.
Could this be an attack of a lycanthrope or possibly a skinwalker / Mai-cob? The activity suggests that, whatever it is roaming and hunting in the area, it will continue to do so.
This is the location where the sheep with the neck puncture wound was found...no blood splatter or pooling

Above - A series of fresh tracks were also found including a few hoof-like prints
Some examples of the carnage inflicted
Coincidentally, not long after hearing of the latest attack, I received a correspondence from an individual with the moniker 'Coy Criptid'. He is a resident of the Dine Navajo reservation and this is a reply to an inquiry I made in a previous post. I have not changed anything in the email....completely original:
Well, where to start......? We are not skin walkers, we are "eaters of all" (closest translation I can do to our real name, sorry) We are old, so old that some of us remember this world when it had many moons and the land flowed like water. We are not evil, nor good. We just are. In the way of modern thinking, we are like animals; not fallen from grace, and speak and hear God directly. I don't know if we have souls, because we don't die, just .... this is really hard to explain ..... we don't go dormant, just change the way we live. Right now I am Human. I look, feel, think, and act just like one of you. I will apparently die just like one of you, only to spread out from where my " mortal remains " fall or are eaten, adsorbed... or interred, mingling with the strings of life (another hard one to put into words) that come into contact with me. Until I decide to become one of them (I have sort of decided on one of the squids, we'll see how that works out). In the time between dedicated forms, we walk in our true forms, remembering all the things that we have been. Its hard to describe being many things at once, but we do go back to places we've been because the "memories of love"(?) draw us back. We watch over you as we are directed to do, letting you live your lives according to Law both good and bad as is the will of the Creator. You are right to fear us in our true forms because we do not think as humans do, but a collage of thoughts from many forms at once.
The Creator bid us to stay our feeding on you many many eons ago, but left us with the right to protect ourselves if threatened in any of our forms (careful with that fly swatter or bar of soap). We have the ability to grasp your, or any other creatures mind if we choose, and hold them while we eat. In this form it is a very unpleasant thought and leaves me nauseous just thinking about it. All of us by now (except the ones that left this world early on for "walk about" or from the great shame) have spent many lifetimes in human form and almost all of them love people deeply. Every creature on this world fears us because you are all from survivors that have sensed us in true form. We have to calm you to walk among you even in dedicated forms.
We have traits that can be used to identify us in any of our forms. The closest thing that I can call them is "tells" mine is that I don't eat feet (yuck how nasty, .....this includes fins, hooves, tips of tentacles, pads, wing feathers or anything used as contact points for locomotion blahhhhuch). One of my co cross mates (don't ask, we have 17 separate sexes, talk about a bitch on Friday nights) will not eat anything "purple" as she sees it. Another friend of mine dislikes certain forms of nerve tissue, says it makes him itch. Short of these little peccadilloes we can consume almost anything and derive energy for life from it, from sunshine to radionuclide and every thing in between, yummy (I know, I know, "feet" have all that and more too but eeuuuuwwww!!) ! I personally have always wanted to taste anti-matter but have never gotten around to going above the cloud tops to taste any. Well, I am rambling on a bit too much, and I have to go to sleep because I have to go to work in the morning, I thought you should know some more about what we are.
With best regards, Coy Criptid
NOTE: These mutilations are an ongoing phenomena.
