BLACK ANGUS BULL MUTILATED IN COLORADO

On Wednesday morning, November 6, 1996, rancher Susan Nottingham discovered the remains of her 1,800-lb. Black Angus bull lying in a snow-covered pasture on her ranch near Burns, Colorado. The bull was lying on its side. Its "genitalia, rear end, eye, ear and left side of its muzzle had already been sliced off. A line of two-inch abrasions were noted on the belly in front of the penile incision."

The case was investigated by Sheriff A.J. Johnson and Deputy James Van Beck of Eagle County, assisted by a local veterinarian. "There were no signs of a struggle." Tracks found at the scene indicated that coyotes had circled the carcass but had no come close enough to disturb it.

Burns is located in the northwest corner of Eagle County, about 255 miles (408 kilometers) west of Denver.

Elsewhere in Colorado, UFO investigator Christopher O'Brien, his brother and Patricia Richmond staked out a ranch near the town of Center (population 1,630) on Tuesday, October 22, 1996. At approximately 7:45 p.m., the trio "spotted a bright orange light" over the San Luis Valley. The UFO was "cigar-shaped and did not appear to be moving." They kept it in view until 8:30 p.m. Ms. Richmond said this was the same UFO she had seen around Center during July and August.
