1) WORLDWIDE ANIMAL MUTILATIONS - Recent Cases
Compiled by Linda Moulton Howe
Australia -
Two steers, each two years old, were found dead and mutilated on
a farm at Mutdapilly in Queensland, Australia. The report in Queensland
Country Life on July 28, 1994 said both Santa Gertrudis steers had their
tongues removed, jaw flesh stripped and one ear excised. In addition,
one of the steers also had its rectum cored out, a classic pattern in
the animal mutilation phenomenon which has persisted worldwide since
the 1960s.
England -
In August 1994, at Bodmin Moor near Launceston, England, a new-born
calf was found with a clean, bloodless cut in its throat that had severed
its windpipe, and the upper and lower hide of its nose and lips had been
"almost surgically removed," according to Malcolm Delaida, who reported
the case for the October 14, 1994 issue of Farmers Weekly. The color
photograph included with the story shows a perfectly clean calf lying
on its left side with only the hide-deep excision of tissue from its
jaws.
Germany -
On October 10, 1994, the German publication BILD headlined a story
"Horse-ripper: New Victims." For the past two years in Germany, England,
Norway, Sweden and Finand, hundreds of horses have been found alive with
excisions of hide taken from legs, chests, and head. Many horses have
survived the strange attacks, but in the recent round the animals have
been killed. According to BILD, "During the night, the cruel horse-ripper
sneaked into a pasture, shoved a lance, sharp as a knife, into the hearts
of three mares. Four other horses were injured." No details were given
about the four surviving horses' wounds. The pasture is near
Bahrenbostel-Holzausen, a farm community in Diepholz, Germany.
Animal mutilations have often been associated with unidentified lights,
disks and beams in the sky, and with non-human creatures sighted near,
or even carrying, animals that are later found dead and mutilated, or
simply disappear.

2) SAN DIEGO SIGHTINGS CAUGHT ON VIDEO
By Marie Jones
A recent rash of UFO sightings in San Diego's North County coastal area
has prompted the formation of a MUFON group, as well as drawn much
attention from local media and UFO enthusiasts.
This particular wave of activity began on November 11th with an
evening sighting by a woman in the community of Vista, California. The
witness, C.M., went outside to have a smoke at approximately 8:30pm PST
and her attention was drawn to a triangular series of red lights, that
then "changed shape and dropped a bomb of bright yellow, gold light..."
She described the "bomb" as a brilliant ball that appeared to bounce
a little before both objects disappeared. The duration was approximately
two minutes, during which time she claimed the object pulsated. Distance
of object was estimated at 3/4 miles away, and she put the apparent size
at 4 times the size of a full moon.
In the same region on November 28th, a MUFON field investigator
had a remarkable sighting that resulted in a 12 minute videotape currently
under analysis by optical physicist Bruce Maccabee and MUFON Staff Photo
Analyst Jeffrey Sainio, and recently broadcast over local news.
The witness, L.., and her husband and daughter noticed the object
at approximately 9:30pm moving slowly from the South to the West outside
their hilltop home. The home has ample windows and a spectacular view,
and the three were able to watch the object for the entire duration of
flight across the sky, and to videotape it as well. Described as a "yellow
glowing ball," the object appeared to dim and brighten as it slowly glided
towards the West. Witnesses reported no noise, and were able to visually
see several small planes, some of which appear on the videotape, in the
object's proximity. After about six minutes, the object seemed to stop,
then suddenly drop a series of five or six glowing balls, all of which
then blinked out.
At approximately 10:15pm the same night, the three saw another similar
glowing ball appear again from the South, moving West, but reported this
object was brighter and larger, as if closer in distance. Again, this
object glided Westerly, then stopped and dropped small balls of light,
only this time the object itself remained visible, dimming and brightening
for a few seconds, before it finally vanished in a blink. Again, this
second six minute sighting was captured on video.
Meanwhile, a few blocks away, another family of witnesses (who wish
to remain anonymous) reported a much closer encounter. Their initial
sighting began at 9:45pm and involved a saucer-shaped craft that one
witness described as having "a lot of lights, but not really too
bright...from my standpoint it really didn't seem to have a solid surface
to it." The family of three watched in awe as it hovered, then zipped off
into the sky. A few hours later, the son headed home and reported a bright
light in the distance that approached his house and began "circling" it at
about 150 feet altitude, always staying at least a quarter of a mile
away from the house itself (this area has large spots of open land amidst
housing). The object then stopped, moved directly above the witness and
hovered close enough for him to make out a triangulr shape. He felt chills
run up his spine but could not turn away from the object. He claims he
stared at it for at least two minutes before it "bobbed back and forth"
and zipped up and out of sight.
On November 29th, at approximately 7:30pm, this same witness also
encountered an oval orange object that appeared to "drop something,"
as it hovered about 40 feet above his home. This sighting lasted four
minutes, during which time the witness tried to use the phone and was
unable to because of static interference. The witness also saw an unmarked
helicopter in the area after the sighting occured.
All of the above are currently under investigation by MUFON North
County, and the videotape has been viewed by members of the military,
pilots, and an FAA spokesperson, most of whom are able to rule out any
type of flare or target drone tests, although this area is very "hot"
with military activity from several local bases. The Coast Guard and
local airport both reported no unusual activity, and the FAA had no unusual
pilot reports on record.
Because military sources have shown a tendency to be less than
forthcoming in such cases, we cannot rule out some type of prototype craft
being tested over the Pacific coastal waters due West of Carlsbad,
California (north of San Deigo), which is a restricted area beyond 32
miles. We are awaiting word from Bruce Maccabee and Jeff Sainio regarding
video and photo analysis. All final reports will be on file with MUFON
North County and MUFON International. I will report any significant
developments in these cases in future editions of CNI News.
4) EX-ARMY SERGEANT'S SEARCH FOR MISSING COMPANY AND UFO INFORMATION
CONTINUES
by Linda Moulton Howe
Earlier this month, CNI News reported about John T. Vasquez, currently
a California resident with an honorable discharge from the U. S. Army,
who has been filing Freedom of Information Act requests for data about
an incident he insists occurred on September 2, 1977 at Fort Benning,
Georgia. That night, the 1st Battalion was assembled for a meeting with
the company commanders and battalion commander. Vasquez says that four
companies were present: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta. He was in Delta
Company and has medical records to prove it.
But since he began filing FOIA requests about the appearance of
a mysterious, bright light over the battalion and subsequent
unconsciousness of several or all of those present, the Army and other
government agencies keep sending him letters saying there was no John T.
Vasquez or Delta Company at Fort Benning in September 1977. So, Vasquez
and his attorney, Jeffrey Schwartz, are searching for any of the 1200 men
in the four companies that were assembled on September 2, 1977.
We at ISCNI are trying to assist in this effort and have learned
the following people were also at Fort Benning on September 2, 1977,
which might help former company members remember if they were there,
too. The Fort Benning Commander was William J. Livsey, Jr.; the
4-Battalion Commander was Col. Jack Farris; the 1st Battalion Commander
was Lt. Col. Buckey, first name unconfirmed; the Delta Company Commander
was Capt. Steven Keil.
Anyone with any information about the September 2, 1977 incident, please
email Linda Moulton Howe at: LMH333@aol.com; or FAX (215) 491-9842;
or call Attorney Jeffrey Schwartz at (619) 234-5678.

5) TWO NEW ELEMENTS ADDED TO PERIODIC TABLE
Reuters News Service in Bonn, Germany reports that the Society for Heavy
Ion Research (GSI) in Darmstadt near Frankfurt have discovered the 110th
and 111th elements. Element 111 is heavier than all the others and is
a chemical relative of coppe, silver and gold.
"We have not given it a name yet," said GSI spokesman Guenter Siegert,
who said the group of scientists headed by Peter Armbruster were still
deciding on a name for the 110th element they discovered in November.
GSI said the new isotope had an atomic weight of 272, meaning it
is 272 times heavier than hydrogen. It decays after four thousandths
of a second.
Las Vegas, Nevada scientist Robert Lazar has alleged that in early
1989 while working inside the Papoose Mountains at Area 51, Nellis AFB,
he was allowed to study Element 115, taken from the powerplant of an
alien craft. Lazar said it was stable, could be handled, but would never
be found on earth because its density could only be created in the intense
pressure of stellar objects such as a binary star system. Lazar said
that Element 115 emitted gravity waves that were used in the power system
of the alien craft.
