Modern ufology is a clusterf*ck of related offshoots spanning most conspiracy theories, with plenty of unverifiable and unfalsifiable claims. There is some physical evidence, like strange burn marks on the ground after sightings, and small stone-like objects embedded in the skin of some self-proclaimed abductees, but it is impossible to draw any firm conclusions.
It has also turned into a very lucrative industry. Take for example an App (CE5 Contact - Apps on Google Play) that (I kid you not) in exchange for a monthly fee, promises to train anyone to have “Close Encounters of the Fifth kind”. And of course, there is the New Age belief that we are being stewarded and protected by benevolent alien forces. All very nice and feel good.
But there is a darker side to the UFO phenomenon. Many people know about cattle/animal mutilation. Usually, an animal is found exsanguinated, and with lips, tonge, lower jaw, inner ear, reproductive organs and anal canal surgically excised by what appears to be a cauterizing instrument. The finding of said carcasses are usually preceded by observations of strange lights in the sky, and some unexplainable radar glitches. This phenomenon is very common in cattle county, perhaps you even know someone who has witnessed it.
What not so many people know, and what ufologists don’t like to talk about, is that there are documented instances of humans being found with identical mutilations. The most well-known case occurred in 1988 in Guarapiranga Reservoir, Brazil. A man, later identified as Joaquim Sebastião Gonçalves, was found with the tell-tale signs of cattle mutilation. An autopsy was performed, but findings were inconclusive. The coroner stated that the body showed no evidence of struggle, and perhaps most disturbingly, the victim was alive while the excisions took place.
Some people explain away this and other similar incidents by pointing out that the injuries are consistent with scavenger birds starting to eat away at the corpse, but I’m not entirely convinced. Whatever the truth behind these tragic cases, mundane freak accidents or otherworldly beings, if you are ever annoyed by some hard-core ufologist, mention this phenomenon and watch them suddenly start talking about how nice the weather is.
