Ideas are sometimes rejected by human beings simply because those ideas lay beyond the realm of their acceptance. Ideas that seem too far out are discounted as fantasy, labeled impossible or simply ignored.
The Cascade County deputies, working to solve the rash of cattle mutilations, felt no idea was too weird to merit careful consideration. For this reason, they have considered the theory that the mutilations were the result of some cult and they expended considerable time investigating reports that might indicate positive confirmation of this theory.

Yellow indicates the towns, counties and areas affected by animal mutilations, unidentified helicopters and mysterious aerial craft during 1974 to 1976. Twenty-seven years later, in 2001 to 2002, Pondera County and surrounding region experienced more than a dozen animal mutilations associated with unidentified lights and other high strangeness. See Earthfiles 08/18/01.
Were livestock mutilations in other states following the same pattern as those in Montana? Had law officers in these states come up with any substantial evidence that might be helpful in solving the mutilations in Montana?
These were some of the questions Captain Wolverton considered when he started contacting law enforcement agencies in other states where mutilations had taken place. The replies were interesting, but did not solve the riddle. Some reports indicated a similarity in incidents while others introduced entirely new bits of information to add new and baffling parts to the puzzle.

The five Montana counties of Cascade, Chouteau, Teton, Judith Basin and Pondera have been the focus of unusual animal deaths that law enforcement has long called "mutilations" since the early 1970s to 2002, a span of more than thirty years without a single arrest and arraignment on an animal mutilation charge. See Earthfiles 08/18/01.
The first cattle mutilation reported to the Cascade County Sheriff's Department was on August 14, 1974. While there continued to be isolated incidents in the weeks and months that followed, it was the following summer when the number of mutilations started increasing at an alarming rate. But apparently whoever or whatever was responsible for the mutilations was just beginning, as during the period from August 1975 to May 1976, over 100 possible mutilations were reported to the Cascade County Sheriff's Department.
The bulk of the incidents occurred during warm weather, particularly in August and September. Records of investigations revealed that most of the mutilations took place at the time of the full moon. Whether this has any special significance, other than the fact the moon would provide light for the task, has not been established. If, as some people believe, some cult is responsible for the mutilations, it is possible the moon's phase could have a bearing on it.

Evidence gained in investigating a number of mutilations, including the Shetland pony, seemed to indicate that the animals were tranquilized or anesthetized (but not killed) before they were mutilated. A veterinarian's theory that the drug Ketaset could have been used for this purpose greatly interested investigating officers.
Deputies Experiment With Cattle Tranquilizer
The lawmen decided to perform an experiment to observe the effects of Ketaset on a calf. A Teton County rancher, who was interested in seeing the mutilations solved, offered to donate a crippled steer calf for the experiment. A veterinarian conducted the experiment with lawmen from both Teton and Cascade Counties observing.

August 31, 2002 Washington, New Jersey - Earlier this summer, I met a New Jersey man named Riley Martin who in 1995 wrote a book entitled, The Coming of Tan. Tan is the name of a non-human being from what Riley understands to be a planet called "Biaveh" 450 light years from earth in the Taurus constellation that also contains the Pleiades. Taurus (The Bull) is northwest of the Orion constellation.

Tehachapi, California, the residence of Neil Browning since 1991, about 50 miles from Edward AFB. In that Mojave Desert and Tehachapi Mountains region, many people have reported hearing strange underground sounds, seeing unidentified triangles and other aerial craft, and even non-human entities. Rumors have long persisted that the area has underground installations, but no one specifies who operates them.
July 23, 2002 Tehachapi, California Last week I received an e-mail from 41-year-old Neil Browning of Tehachapi, California. Neil worked his entire U.S. Air Force career as a mechanic on airplanes until he retired as an E-7 in 1999. Then he took a position with the USAF Civil Service at Edwards AFB as an F-16 fighter aircraft crew chief. Neil Browning has lived in the same house in Tehachapi that he purchased in 1991. Between 1995 to 1999 he was on assignment in Korea and Luke AFB, Arizona and rented the house until he retired and moved back in full time.
Neil Browning's house in Tehachapi, California west of Edwards Air Force Base where he works as an F-16 crew chief. His car is parked in front of the garage where the buzzing light encounter took place around 12:15 a.m. PDT on July 11, 2002. At the right beyond the fence is the trailer that Neil retreated to in fear after the encounter with the light in the garage. Photograph taken on July 23, 2002 by Neil Browning.

Red Deer and Lacombe are about 100 miles south of Edmonton, Alberta, a larger city which has also had several crop formations in its fields since the late 1990s.
May 9, 2002 Red Deer, Alberta, Canada - Since the first week of September 2001, six nurse's aides at the Lacombe Nursing Home near Red Deer, Alberta, Canada have witnessed several flights of unidentified orange glowing triangular craft during their night shift breaks. For background, please see previous 09/22/01 and 10/27/01 Earthfiles reports that contain drawings of earlier sightings. This morning, I received another phone call from nurse's aide, Penny Pickett, about two more sightings.

May 8, 2002 Iowa City, Iowa - I received several e-mail requests to do an investigation of a topic forwarded around in cyberspace the past few weeks in an article entitled "The Putnam (sic) Paralellogram: Iowa's Answer to the Bermuda Triangle?" submitted by Dr. Leonid Rosenweitz. The website listed with the internet article is http://www.yawp.com/3rd-i/current/pp/putnam.html. That website belongs to a loose group of people scattered between Iowa City and Charlottesville, Virginia who like to write fiction and pass it off as non-fiction.

May 2, 2002 Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Last week on Coast to Coast AM radio, I reported about the enormous triangle of what looked like stars moving slowly through the starry sky above eight of us at the Piney River valley look out north of Dover, Arkansas on April 14. I also interviewed a NASA Goddard scientist about cluster satellites that travel in fours to see if that could explain what we all saw near Dover, but he checked orbital logs and said none of those cluster satellites were on the night side of earth on April 14. (See: Real X-Files 04/22/02 and 04/27/02.)
