January 20, 1998, 6:00 pm south of the Great Sand Dunes Hooper
resident reports watching a "big star doing some big twists."
Object/light was described as flashing "red-green and blue."
Witness described the multi-colored light as hovering for five or
so minutes just south of the Sand Dunes Oasis. At around 6:15 pm,
I witnessed two low flying jets headed from the east, over the
Sangre de Cristos, south toward the location where the light was
observed. Jets were flying under 3000 feet above the Valley
floor. Witness claimed the object was not Sirius rising in the
east. He claimed the "object" two times larger than the brightest
planets, was 5 degrees north of Sirius the heaaven's brightest
star, which he was able to identify.

By Jim Hughes Denver Post Staff Writer Jan.- 12 - 1998 A
mysterious object lit up the night sky up and down the Front
Range early Sunday then startled witnesses with a deafening
explosion. There was no official explanation about the object
Sunday. Military spokesmen denied the object was a military
aircraft. Local scientists speculated it could have been a meteor
or an illegal firework

[How interesting the January 11thColorado object's glow, as it
passed over, was again a captured by the same security camera
that caught last year's "meteor" at the same location. And how
interesting last October's huge New Mexico/West Texas "meteor"
occured on the same flight path--almost a year to-the-day-- from
a similar object seen on the same flight path last year---tmv]

     "I wanted to follow up on our conversation
     regarding the pig mutalations. Upon speaking the
     the man who discovered the carcass' it turns out
     there were three mutalated pigs each about 100 to
     150 pounds, white in color and each with a cored
     out rectum and other round holes in the abdomen.
     Apparently they had been discovered three days
     before I saw them. There were only two when I saw
     the on Thursday. Bob Green from La Sierra News

UNDER FORENSIC INVESTIGATION
Wed December 17, 1997, at 10:30 a.m. 5 Miles SW of Alamosa, SLV
CO MUTE
Rancher Ron Gardiner discovered a dead gelding 5 miles SW of
Alamosa, CO, in the San Luis Valley So-Cen CO/No-Cen NM. The
animal was still warm and the rancher estimated the animal was
killed and mutilated sometime around dawn. The horse was missing
it's penis and an 8 inch circular patch of hide behind the
sheath-- which was intact. The rear-end was neatly cored out in a
slightly elongated circle to a depth of 8 to 9 inches. Eyes and
tongue were intact. The animal was found lying on it's right side
at the bottom of a dry, 7 foot deep irrigation canal channel.
There was evidence of a struggle i.e., broken chimisa bushes and
thrashing marks, but besides the unfortunate gelding's tracks,
there were no other tracks present. No apparent scavenger
interest noted and two horses in the small herd seemed curious
and unafraid of the carcass. The carcass did not bloat. No
downside incisions or additional evidense noted by the rancher,
this investigator, or the Alamosa County Sheriff investigator,
but a 5 inch shallow gash in the hide was present on the neck.
Several drops which appeared to be blood were found in snow about
60 feet away over the fence and across the road. Alamosa County

Sun December 14, 1997, at 3:00 am, North of Center, CO
CE3
Witness reports a close encounter with a large
triangular ship in south-central Saguache County

     "I saw out my back door one of those triangular
     UFO's hovering over the [witnesses'] south
     field.When I went outside to see it, it moved
     slowly and hovered by the roof of the house and
     over the silos. Then it came back over the house
     and a beam of white-blue light came out of the
     midlle and something was taken up in the beam.
     I couldn't see what, but its shape was smallish. I
     was so scared I couldn't talk. It played some kind
     of musical rhythm when the lights around the
     edge flashed off and on. Let me know if anyone
     else saw anything."

SAME NIGHT
Sun December 14, 1997, from 1:15 to 1:40 a.m at 12S road near
Mesita, SLV CO [50 miles north of 3:00 am sighting]  Large object

UNDER FORENSIC INVESTIGATION
Sun November 30, 1997, around 5:30-6:00 am, SW corner pasture on
Saguache County Road 61 and County Road SLV CO MUTE.

1 and a half miles west, 2-miles north of Hooper, CO, a calf
"mutilation" was reported by ranchers Bill Knopfman, Jack Kuntz
and their foreman, Ted Ruggles. A report was filed with the
Saguache County Sheriff's Office, who also investigated the calf
death. The 10-month old female calf, in a herd of approximately
40 cattle, was discovered with it's right side mandible
completely exposed with all hide and tissue removed. That
morning, a dense fog blanketed the entire center portion of the
SLV and the temperature was around 10 degrees.

The apparent facial incision extended up and over the eye socket.
Eye was removed. Tongue was intact. Rear-end coring 10" in
diameter. Apparent removal of reproductive tract to a
(approximate) depth of 18". Drop of blood observed on one teat.
Uniform 4 to 5 inch snow cover over the entire pasture. Animal
found lying on left-side. No down-side incisions noted. Calf was
facing head to the south. Nearest dwelling about 400-450 yards
away south by southwest of carcass. Only tracks observed were the
victim animal's own tracks. No additional evidence noted, i.e.,
blood, tissue, footprints, tire tracks, disturbed snow or
vegetation. No known observation of attendant lights or sounds in
the vicinity of site at time of death. Residents of nearest
dwelling reported their dogs barking at around 5:30 to 6:00 a.m.
Rancher's dogs showed an interest in the carcass and evidently
widened the rectum-coring shortly after calf's discovery. Magpies
and crows were observed on the calf at time of discovery. Some
bird scavenging was noted, i.e., eye-socket and optic nerves
scavenged. Tissue underneath incisional area showed some signs of
being pecked at, but no observed scavenger action on hide at or
on actual incisions. Three sets of samples were obtained for
separate forensic testing.
