December 7, 2002 Chilbolton, England - As I have investigated and reported about crop formations since 1991, I began to wonder if the patterns were connected over arcs of time at the same geographic locations. One example of what seems to be patterns related to each other year after year occurred near the Chilbolton Radio Telescope Observatory between June 1999 and August 2002.
June 16, 1999, Chilbolton Observatory
On June 16, 1999, the strange pattern in the foreground marked by a yellow arrow appeared near the observatory.
"Dr. Urich, the county coroner, said:'The cutting (on the 1500-pound buffalo near NORAD)was done neatly, cleanly, obviously with a very sharp instrument.The dissection was of the type that would eliminate any type of predator.' He said the hide was removed by someone who did not puncture the tissue layer directly under the hide. 'It was better than I coulddo if I were trying. It was really an expert job.'"

Helicopters have been reported acting suspiciously or even threateningly in ranch areas. But no actual evidence of this or identification of the aircraft is available. Others feel that various factors such as noise, anger and expense rule out the helicopter theory. Some of the beefs that have allegedly been transported weigh half to three quarters of a ton or more, which would require a very large, noisy and expensive helicopter that requires specialized servicing. In any case, the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) has canceled a helicopter survey of several rural counties because it could not guarantee the safety of their crews from high flying lead (bullets).

"The mutilators haven't made one misstep. They leave their calling cards, but no one has ever surprised them at their work. They leave too much evidence for any rational person to deny they exist, but never enough to be identified. No one even claims to have taken a picture of them. Afterward, of course, thousands are taken. They're obviously playing with us like a cat plays with a mouse. And it's driving folks, including the authorities, right up the wall."
Fredrick W. Smith asked on his 1976 book cover, "Who did it? Why? How was it done without leaving a clue? Why are the facts suppressed? (This book has) Answers to questions that have baffled lawmen and ranchers throughout the west."
Introduction
Fredrick William Smith was born in Salmon, Idaho on October 21, 1920, and raised in Butte, Montana where his father was a miner until his death when Fred was 8 years old. Then his mother moved the family to Denver.On May 5, 1945, Fred Smith married Grace Elizabeth Deaton. The couple had seven children, four boys and three girls. Fred worked as a goat farmer, part-time plumber and wrote. By the mid-1970s, he was puzzled by unusual cattle deaths in Colorado. Fred talked with law enforcement and ranchers in eastern Colorado and came to the conclusion that whatever was killing the animals, and bloodlessly excising tissue in similar patterns from animal to animal, was not human. In 1976, he published his investigation, not knowing that at the same time Deputy Keith Wolverton in the Cascade County Sheriff's Office in Great Falls, Montana, was collaborating with writer Roberta Donovan to summarize the sheriff's reports about mutilations in that region. Fred Smith died in Delta, Colorado near Cedaredge on July 24, 1997 at age 77. See Mystery Stalks The Prairie.
Who - or what - kills and mutilates animals around the world - and why? Fredrick Smith's 1976 book, self-published in a limited quantity, has long been out of print. But now with his family's permission, Earthfiles.com presents an electronic version of the original work.

British MOD letterhead on an August 21, 1985, document in the "Rendlesham File."
December 3, 2002 London, England - On November 29, 2002, the British Ministry of Defence (MOD) released for the first time on its website a UFO file of nearly 180 pages that had been restricted from public scrutiny since December 1980. One of the many government documents is entitled UFO Sighting At Rendlesham Forest and begins:

"When the object got closer, I saw a flashing light. As I was trying to figure out what it might be, I saw several steady lights. Then the light which I previously presumed as headlight started to change and get smaller. As I was trying to find a plausible reason for that, the object approached and got into the position of 12 o'clock. Ten or fifteen small objects about the size of a Boeing 747 were flying at 1-2 kilometers between them. This lasted for about 1.5 minutes. As they were getting out of sight, we reported these UFOs to air control at 5:44 a.m. local time."

November 18, 2002 Istanbul, Turkey - On November 1, 2002 around 5:30 to 5:45 a.m. local time, four airline crews in the air and two on the ground reported an unusual armada of glowing objects moving together past a yellow pulsing light. The pilots' reports went to Turkey's Flight Safety Department and were headlined on television, radio and newspapers as a "fleet of UFOs flying over Turkey." The airline crews in the air estimated the altitude of the pulsing light and armada of glowing objects was between 22,000 and 36,000 feet.

Yellow shaded areas of Denver and Aurora, Colorado, map indicate where cats, rabbits and squirrels have been found dead and mutilated since June 2002.
According to the Aurora Animal Control Office, the Denver Dumb Friends League, and local residents, between June and mid-November 2002, ten cats and other small animals such as rabbits and squirrels have been found strangely cut up without blood or signs of struggle. (9 cats, 2 squirrels and 1 rabbit in Aurora; 1 cat and 1 rabbit in Denver). The region affected has been where southwest Aurora and southeastern Denver come together between the University of Denver and the Aurora Medical Center.

November 13, 2002 Seattle, Washington - Tonight at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology, scientists gathered to discuss what killed off so many large mammals of North and South America at the end of the last ice age about 12,000 years ago, the end of the Pleistocene. At least 35 genera of animals in North America alone were wiped out, including the huge saber-toothed cat, woolly rhinos, woolly mammoths, mastodons, giant skunks, giant rabbits, camels and horses. Using modern DNA analysis, bodies and bones found freeze-dried are being explored for signs of unusual disease. Did a deadly virus or bacteria infect and kill the animals? Or did a growing human population throughout the world exterminate species after species in its search for food and hides?

NOAA climatologists currently classify the El Nino still growing in the Pacific Ocean (red band on yellow above) as moderate, but the ocean waters continue to warm and El Nino climate conditions are expected to dominate through February 2003.

November 8, 2002 Washington, D. C. - The El Nino in the Pacific Ocean which has building up for months continues to warm and NOAA scientists now classify its intensity as "moderate" with caution that its full intensity still not known. Many drought areas will continue to suffer, but its influence on climate over the next four to five months is not expected to be as strong as the 1997-1998 El Nino.

Saskatchewan has had the heaviest Canadian concentration of crop formations since the mid-1990s. The particular southeast region of the province shown in this map is one of the hot spots where patterns keep appearing year after year. In 2002, Punnichy in the far left circle had a series of four formations in wheat. The latest in the season, a 9-circle pattern discovered by a pilot on October 10, 2002, was discovered in a Kamsack wheat field, upper right circle.
November 5, 2002 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - Paul Anderson of the Canadian Crop Circle Research Network (CCCRN) has received his 19th crop circle report for 2002. It is a pattern of nine circles. It is not known how many of the connecting pathways were part of the original pattern design and how many were paths made by curious residents. The largest of the nine circles was approximately 55 feet in diameter. It was found in mature wheat near the small rural town of Kamsack in southeastern Saskatchewan by a pilot flying over the field. He took a photograph that was printed by a local newspaper shown below.

November 4, 2002 Albany, New York - There has been much speculation about what the strange object is that has a long body and seems to blend into the blue sky, but also has white fin-like structures at the front and back of the object. (See Earthfiles 10/29/02) Today, I talked with FOX23 videographer, Brandon Mowry, at the station and learned that his assignment desk has received word that the investigation has now branched out from the FBI to a military intelligence unit at Fort Hood, Texas, southwest of Waco.
