40 00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:55,500 You know, these are otherwise healthy animals that are suddenly found dead, no sign of a struggle, 41 00:01:55,500 --> 00:02:00,500 often with these strange surgical-like cuts and organs removed. 42 00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:04,500 Yeah, what I love about this as a biologist is that it is real. 43 00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:07,500 Like, this isn't just anecdotes or a fuzzy tape. 44 00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:13,500 There are these giant, for-huv chunks of evidence left behind that we could actually analyze scientifically. 45 00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:14,500 Right. 46 00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:16,500 Well, alright, but isn't that part of the problem? 47 00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:20,500 The fact that scientists and investigators have been looking into this for decades, 48 00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:22,500 and they still can't explain it. 49 00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:23,500 Right. 50 00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:25,500 The first explosion of cases happened in the 1970s. 51 00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:30,500 In that decade alone, 21 different states reported significant cattle mutilations. 52 00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:35,500 And now, whatever's causing it seems to be back in the state of Oregon. 53 00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:44,500 Since 1973, over 10,000 head of cattle have been butchered in a way that has baffled researchers. 54 00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:48,500 Even the leading law enforcement agency in the country has investigated. 55 00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:55,500 In May 1979, federal authorities launched a comprehensive inquiry into the cattle mutilation phenomenon. 56 00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:59,500 The FBI issued their final report in June of 1980, 57 00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:03,500 saying the deaths were most likely the result of common predators, 58 00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:06,500 consuming the soft tissue of the carcasses. 59 00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:09,500 It's a conclusion that has remained contentious to this day, 60 00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:16,500 because every year since, ranchers discovered dead cattle with a variety of organs removed with surgical precision, 61 00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:18,500 often with their blood drained. 62 00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:23,500 No signs of struggle or any other real clues left behind. 63 00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:27,500 No footprints, no tire tracks, no disturbances. 64 00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:30,500 One of the most popular theories is also one of the wildest, 65 00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:35,500 that these attacks are a direct result of extraterrestrial visitation. 66 00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:42,500 Believers point to reports of unidentified flying objects spotted around the time of the mutilations, 67 00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:45,500 leaving many to wonder if there's a connection. 68 00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:53,500 On top of that, recently released data confirms that the state of Oregon has the second most UFO sightings in the country. 69 00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:58,500 It has even been proposed that cattle mutilations are part of sinister cult rituals, 70 00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:03,500 a top secret government operation, or the work of some unknown cryptid. 71 00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:08,500 A new wave of strange incidents unfolding in eastern Oregon, time is of the essence. 72 00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:15,500 Not only are the ranchers frustrated, but they're also scared of what might be lurking on their land. 73 00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:21,500 So there have been a number of recent cases in Oregon, 74 00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:27,500 but there is a ranch in eastern Oregon that just saw five head of cattle slain, 75 00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:30,500 seemingly drained of blood with their organs removed. 76 00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:32,500 So this is happening currently? 77 00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:33,500 Wow. 78 00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:38,500 I think this is a huge opportunity for us to go out there and see for ourselves what's going on, 79 00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:45,500 and I need you to promise me that you'll be at least a little open-minded to the fact that something unexplained is happening out there. 80 00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:50,500 But just there are so many natural possibilities to consider out there. 81 00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:54,500 I mean, what if these things are bloating in the sun and just ripping in a way that looks precise? 82 00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:59,500 Crows are even known to remove specific organs when scavenging on carcasses. 83 00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:03,500 So what if the FBI did nail it all those years ago and solved the case? 84 00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:07,500 Okay, fine, but then what killed the cows in the first place? 85 00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:13,500 I mean, these are healthy cattle and a bunch of crows aren't going to take down a bull. 86 00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:16,500 Well, this is exactly what I want the two of you to try to figure out, 87 00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:20,500 and I do think we need to explore all of the leading theories. 88 00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:21,500 Absolutely. 89 00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:25,500 But I think for me, the predator angle just makes the most sense. 90 00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:27,500 We gotta dive into that. 91 00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:30,500 I think we have to tackle the UFO theory. 92 00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:34,500 I mean, you think cattle mutilations and you immediately think UFOs. 93 00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:36,500 I mean, it's even in our pop culture. 94 00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:39,500 It's on t-shirts with the UFOs sucking cow up into a ship. 95 00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:40,500 Yes. 96 00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:41,500 And so I want to know why. 97 00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:44,500 Is there any evidence that connects those two things? 98 00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:45,500 Absolutely. 99 00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:48,500 And I think the last thing we do have to consider is people. 100 00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:52,500 Is there a possibility that all of these mutilations happen at the hands of individuals? 101 00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:57,500 And this current case in eastern Oregon offers us this really unique opportunity 102 00:05:57,500 --> 00:05:59,500 to investigate something that's happening now. 103 00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:00,500 Yeah, I'm psyched. 104 00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:01,500 Yeah, let's get out there. 105 00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:03,500 Okay, let's do it. 106 00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:09,500 My team hops a flight and travels 2,900 miles from New York to Portland, Oregon. 107 00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:14,500 Then it's a four and a half hour drive southeast to a ranch in Seneca 108 00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:19,500 and the scene of a recent slaughter that defies explanation. 109 00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:22,500 Look at this area. 110 00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:27,500 Eastern Oregon, it is a high desert and absolutely cattle country. 111 00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:31,500 In eastern Oregon, cattle is king. 112 00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:40,500 The vast ranges here may not be suited for farming, but it is perfect for grazing herds. 113 00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:45,500 The cattle industry contributes $900 million to the state's economy 114 00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:50,500 and any threat to that is a direct attack on the livelihood of these communities. 115 00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:54,500 So what do you think is causing all these cattle mutilations? 116 00:06:54,500 --> 00:07:01,500 One of the best lessons I've learned as a biologist is just knowing how unexpected and fascinating nature can really be. 117 00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:05,500 People are encountering a part of nature that they didn't know existed. 118 00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:10,500 Maybe there's a new predator or a new scavenger around you that's eating them in an unusual way. 119 00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:14,500 So they lean towards the supernatural or the something else. 120 00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:17,500 You're talking about ranchers here, ranchers that have been here for generations. 121 00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:21,500 They've definitely seen a dead cow that has been scavenged. 122 00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:28,500 So for them to say that they don't know what is causing these mutilations, 123 00:07:28,500 --> 00:07:32,500 I think is very interesting and something that we really need to pay attention to. 124 00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,500 I will agree. There are a lot of unanswered questions here and a lot of weird stuff. 125 00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:37,500 Yeah. 126 00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:39,500 Alright, see what we find out here. 127 00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:44,500 Jess and Phil arrive at the ranch to meet with Colby Marshall. 128 00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:50,500 He's been working with cattle his whole life, having been raised wrangling the herd on his family's property. 129 00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:57,500 And he was working here as the vice president of ranch operations when bulls just recently started turning up dead. 130 00:07:57,500 --> 00:07:58,500 What did you see there? 131 00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:00,500 It was really a surreal scene. 132 00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:05,500 I come up on this critter and he's laying there and there's no bite marks. 133 00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:10,500 There's no froth. There's no struggle. And there wasn't a drop of blood. 134 00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:12,500 That is so weird. 135 00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:23,500 And not only is there no blood at the scenes, but then the testicles and the penis and the enus and the tongues are missing. 136 00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:26,500 I've never seen anything like it in my life. 137 00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:31,500 So if you had found one of those cattle that looked mutilated, that would have stood out to you. 138 00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:32,500 Absolutely. 139 00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:34,500 But you found five in two days. 140 00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:35,500 Correct. 141 00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:36,500 What do you think it is? 142 00:08:36,500 --> 00:08:38,500 Possibly a cult group. 143 00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:39,500 Wow. 144 00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:47,500 There's some very important reason why they are harvesting those organs from a live animal that's out free range. 145 00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:53,500 And the type of group that would do this kind of activity is very close-knit. 146 00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:56,500 Have cults been known to be in this area? 147 00:08:56,500 --> 00:09:01,500 This is an isolated, very remote part of the United States. 148 00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:05,500 This is a place where people can come to become unknown, if you will. 149 00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:06,500 Yeah, not being noticed. 150 00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:07,500 Correct. 151 00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:14,500 For decades, there's been a long-standing rumor that cults and Satanists could be responsible for cattle mutilations. 152 00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:25,500 Many believe it's the direct result of the so-called Satanic Panic, a mass media scare that led to frightful accusations and trials against Satanists in the 80s and 90s. 153 00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:37,500 In Oregon alone, by 1990, local law enforcement was investigating over 300 crimes believed to be linked to the occult, including cases of ritual sacrifice against animals. 154 00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:40,500 So maybe the idea isn't so outlandish after all. 155 00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:48,500 We took actions by bringing in law enforcement that could investigate and hopefully give us some answers. 156 00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:49,500 So what do they have to say? 157 00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:53,500 Well, at the end of the day, they found nothing. 158 00:09:54,500 --> 00:10:03,500 These ranchers lost $7,000 for each mutilated animal, and all they have to show for it are some truly horrific crime scene photos. 159 00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:13,500 You can see where all of those organs have been taken, but without actually causing any damage to the abdomen, they knew what they were doing and they knew how to do it. 160 00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:17,500 I wonder if a scavenger came by and tore out those organs. 161 00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:24,500 I think here is the part of the animal that scavengers love to get to, and nothing is touching Ms. Carcass. 162 00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:28,500 That is completely odd. It gives me goosebumps. 163 00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:33,500 It would be great if we could see the location where you found the first bull. Is that possible? 164 00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:36,500 Absolutely, but there's some rugged terrain. 165 00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:40,500 But there's a way to get there. 166 00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:53,500 Now this is how you get around the country. Watch it here. 167 00:10:53,500 --> 00:11:01,500 Colby leads the team on ATVs for a 10-mile ride to the remote crime scene where Phil and Jess plan to set up their own investigation. 168 00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:02,500 All right. 169 00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:16,500 This ranch sprawls 140,000 acres, making it easy to see how something could happen to one of these animals without anyone witnessing it, whether the culprit be man, beast, or otherwise. 170 00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:22,500 This is the spot. 171 00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:24,500 This is the spot. 172 00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:33,500 We found the first bull here. We found the next bull kind of on down the stream, and then we found three other bulls upstream from where we are right now. 173 00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:35,500 Well, we're kind of in the heart of it then. That's perfect. 174 00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:40,500 I feel like this would be a good spot to set up camp if you are okay with us being here. 175 00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:46,500 You guys are welcome to camp out here on this ground. I just want you to be careful tonight. 176 00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:47,500 Why? 177 00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:50,500 Well, we don't know what's out here. 178 00:11:53,500 --> 00:12:00,500 This location is the epicenter of the five recent mutilations, so the team hurries to set up camp before nightfall. 179 00:12:00,500 --> 00:12:10,500 They'll investigate this area at night when most cattle mutilations take place to try to find out who or what may be lurking around this ranch. 180 00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:14,500 What's known here, Mountain Lion, Bear, Bobcat? 181 00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:20,500 What's unknown here that I think may be leaving signs that the ranchers don't know is a wolf. 182 00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:25,500 They've been seen three counties north of here, but haven't been detected here in decades. 183 00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:27,500 And check this thing out.

Be careful out there. 199 00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:30,500 While Jess canvases the area, I'm setting up a series of infrared trail cameras between the laser tripwires. 200 00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:37,500 So if we do draw into predator that may be responsible for these mutilations, we can capture photographic evidence. 201 00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:43,500 I take the quad to cover more ground looking for anything out of the ordinary. 202 00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:50,500 After a couple of hours, I see a vague white shape that cuts through the darkness. 203 00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:52,500 Oh, what's that? 204 00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:55,500 So I put on a pair of night vision goggles for better visibility. 205 00:13:57,500 --> 00:13:59,500 Check over here, buddy.
