Mutilated male horse (credit: Chuck Zukowski)

The mutilated animals were 260 feet apart, but in the same directional position. An eye was missing from each horse, and their tongues appeared to have been surgically removed. There was an incision in the middle of the female horse’s breast area, and the penis was removed from the male horse. According to the ranchers, the cuts on the body of the male horse appeared to have been made by a laser, accompanied by burn marks and a “burn type smell.”

The ranchers’ dog also showed a change in behavior after the incident, and he too has small lacerations.

With so many unanswered questions, Zukowski and his team will continue to investigate this ongoing case.

The crash site is private and inaccessible from public roads, which prevented MUFON investigators from reaching the area, but unmarked vehicles allegedly managed to swarm the scene shortly after the incident.

From a public vantage point, Gonzalez reported seeing something resembling an arc welding light coming from the crash site during the evening, which led him to believe that the individuals who arrived in the unmarked vehicles were either attempting to repair the craft, or dismantle it.

The following morning, Gonzalez was able to see scorch marks on the ground, and surprisingly, the craft was still there. He supposedly has video footage of the crash site and the “stingray-shaped” craft, as he described it, and will make the video available after it has been processed. In an interview with Roger Marsh of the Examiner, Gonzalez said the videos are being transferred to his computer, but are taking longer than usual because the camera he used doesn’t have a digital output.

The witnesses have called Gonzalez in the past, and they apparently see frequent UFO activity in their area. A video posted on YouTube shows a triangle-shaped craft flying over Sanger, CA the day after the crash.

The original witnesses who reported the crash to MUFON described a “triangle-shaped” craft, but Gonzalez described a “stingray-shaped” craft when he observed it in the daylight. The Hudson Valley Boomerang, as it has been called, is an example of stingray-shaped, or manta ray-shaped aircraft. This craft was seen by more than 25,000 eyewitnesses between 1982 and 1989.

Sighting:
Date: July 15, 2010
Time: 11:30 P.M.
Location: Bismarck, ND

“Observed (3) dark red lights spaced equal distance, and appeared to be on the same plane. Estimated distance to be within 10+ miles of the east Bismarck city limits. That distance to the east of Bismarck would be relative to being close to Dawson, ND. A 4th light at lower level and to the right of the first light.( Very noticeable dark red lights, size compared to the red light on a traffic light from a distance of a block away.) The lights were viewed in an easterly direction of Bismarck and at an elevation in my opinion relative to General Aviation. The lights remained what appeared to be stationary for 1-2 minutes. Slight cloud cover and one by one starting with the light lowest appeared to make a turning maneuver and disappeared with the exception of the remaining light from the far right. That particular light changed to a light blue color and at a much higher elevation almost in seconds and visually moving in a southerly direction at a speed compared to a commercial airline or faster in my opinion. I have spoken to someone who lives in the Dawson, ND area and he explained of another individual who claimed to see lights in the area in the past.”

Sighting:
Date: unknown
Time: unknown
Location: Matheson area

“Friend Jon and I were standing outside one night looking for unusual things in the sky over Matheson area. We have seen quite a few odd objects in the last year or so. We heard a loud pop from the sky, almost like a sonic boom, then a firey object flew across the sky from west to east. It left a snake like fire trail behind it. No way was it a meteor or asteroid because they fly straight. This thing snaked.”

Sighting:
Date: August 2010
Time: 11:30 P.M.
Location: Aurora

“Saw a daylight sighting about 5 miles due west of Sand Creek park in Aurora. It was about two weeks ago. I was riding my tricycle in the park and looking at the clouds. I saw something floating slowly, slower than a regular airplane (I am near DIA airport) as I know airplanes and helicopter fly over my house all the time. It looked like a square frame with a square banner inside it. This is the only way I can describe it. I held up my right thumb and it covered my upper thumbnail halfway. There was NO airplane in front of it-like those airplanes that carry message banners. This banner was the same horizontally and vertically in size. Thank you! Anyone else see this-let me know!”

Sighting:
Date: August 27, 2010
Time: 8:50 PM
Location: San Antonio

“I was at my Mom’s house last night on the southwest side of San Antonio, outside talking to my brother around I would say 8:50pm to 9pm when all of the sudden I see a flash of lights, sort of like when someone takes a picture but it was about 4 to 5 of them in a row up in the sky. Mow, this happened very quickly and not just once but about 5 times and not in the same spot. It seemed that whatever it was, it was moving and really fast, within five seconds they were gone. We looked at each other wondering if we saw it or not, which we all did, including my son. Nothing in the news (of course) and no reports of military training in the area by the media, but there had been some observations of military helicopters and airplanes by the Boeing/Kelly AFB site. Just want to see if anyone else saw this here in the San Antonio area?”

The USS Roosevelt aircraft career with a rendering of the UFO described in the report. Illistration by Michael Schratt

Late in the year 1958, a startling event involving a cigar shaped UFO, and the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42), took place between Florida and Cuba. This report originates from Chester Grusinski, who was one of the original Naval officers on-board the carrier when the event took place. Around 9:00 PM, a significant commotion began to spread below decks. Naval personnel began rushing up the ladder to the flight deck. Once “top side”, at least 25 eyewitnesses reported seeing an oblong shaped craft which was orange in color, and seemed to be following the ship. As the strange object descended to within approximately 100 feet above the flight deck, its cigar shaped appearance was clearly visible (see illustration depicted in a daytime setting for clarity). The craft had a row of seven widows running along its length. At least two occupants were visible inside the craft, who were observing the officers on the flight deck (see official sketch below). Many of the witnesses reported seeing what looked like heat distortion waves coming from the craft.

When the craft departed at a high rate of speed, it turned a red-orange color, and emitted heat which was felt by the crew. An interesting historical note to this case included in the original report, indicated that this was not the first encounter that the U.S.S. F.D.R. had with UFO’s. Indeed, during “Operation Mainbrace” in 1952, photos of a UFO were taken from the deck of the ship. Two additional sightings involving the ship occurred in 1956, while it was at anchor in the port of Rio de Janeiro. A final sighting also took place in 1973. One possible explanation as to why the F.D.R. had so many sightings may be due to the fact that it was the first aircraft carrier allowed to transport nuclear weapons.  The fact that there were multiple eyewitnesses, and that the object was tracked by the ship’s radar, make this one of the strongest cases in Ufology.

Transvaal, South Africa, 1995

On March 30, 1995 a local farmer (Mr. Jan Pienaar) had an encounter with a strange craft in the vicinity of Transvaal South Africa. It was around 8:30 A.M., while driving his vehicle around a curve in the road, that Mr. Pienaar noticed a strange craft parked approximately 240 feet in front of him. Immediately, the engine in his brand new truck stopped. The craft had three landing gear legs which extended across the entire length of the road. It was estimated to be approximately thirty six feet high. The exterior surface resembled a translucent stainless steel color. There appeared to be seven rectangular port holes or windows in the upper dome of the craft. A red/violet/green glow illuminated the hull, and Mr. Pienaar noticed that there was a hole of about two feet in size located on the outer edge. The strange object emitted a sound which was described as a buzzing “electric beater”.

At this point, Mr. Pienaar got out of his truck, but instantly realized that he could not take another step. It was as though the craft had trapped him in a strange magnetic lock. He was held in this position for approximately three to four minutes, after which the UFO suddenly rose into the air. Then, the craft sped away at a high rate of speed. Mr. Pienaar was then able to regain his mobility, and walked the few steps back to his truck. With the electro-magnetic effects of the craft now removed from his vicinity, he had no problem starting his vehicle. Mr. Pienaar returned to the location of the encounter thirty minutes after the event, and noticed that the pavement where the craft had landed was still scorching hot to the touch.

Hasselbach, Germany, 1952

Rendering of the UFO as described in the case files. Illistration by Michael Schratt

On July 9, 1952 Oscar Linke and his eleven year old daughter Gabriella were returning home on a motorcycle, when a tire blew out near the town of Hasselbach Germany. While walking back to town, Gabriella noticed something in the distance. Mr. Linke then walked in the direction that his daughter had pointed out, and noticed two men about 450 approximately feet away. They were wearing shiny metallic clothing, and were stooped over, clearly looking at something on the ground. Mr. Linke approached until he was about 30 feet from the men, and noticed a large object about 50 feet in diameter. The craft was described as looking like a “frying pan”.  There were two rows of rectangular port holes around the outer circumference of the craft. There was a black cylindrical tower approximately nine feet high on the top of the object. At this point Gabriella called out to her father, which must have alerted the two men that they were nearby. Immediately, the two men jumped on the black tower, and disappeared inside the craft.

Then, the area around the square port holes began to glitter. Its color first appeared green, but later it turned to red. A slight hum was heard coming from the strange craft. While the brightness and the hum increased, the black tower began to slide down into the center of the object. The entire object then began to rise slowly from the ground, and rotate like a top. The black colored conical tower which originally was seen on the top surface of the craft now appeared on its bottom surface. The object was now surrounded by a ring of flames, and was at least 10 feet in the air. Next the black tower disappeared into the center of the craft, and reappeared on its top surface. Then the craft rose to a horizontal position, turned toward a neighboring town, and then gaining altitude, disappeared over the forest in the direction of Stockheim.
