Mutilated cattle
Mon 9 Dec 91 12:09 By: Patrick Briggs Re: Mutilated Cattle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is an article I found in the local newspaper dated Wednesday Oct 15, 1975 which ads some interesting info in regards to Cattle Mutilations. However, these mutilated cattle in the article do not have the characteristics in most of those cases. These cattle were clearly beaten as you shall find out. Also mysterious is the disappearance of the campers without a trace. Headline: Police say mutilated cattle found about time of UFO group in vicinity. Fox Lake, Ill (AP) - Police say two cows were found slaughtered and mutilated about the same time as a mysterious, 50-plus member of a "UFO" people apparently camped nearby. Lake Villa police said the animals' remains were left on a farm about 10 miles from here, where the band is believed to have stayed October 2 to October 7. One cow was found dead October 1st and the second was killed four days later, police said. Persons who left homes in Oregon, Colorado, and California to await transportation from the Earth make up most of the group's membership. Officials say scores of cattle mutilations have taken place in those states. Lake Villa Police Chief Al Copenharver said persons who killed the first cow, a Black Angus beifer, left only its head behind. The rest of the carcases seemed to have been butchered by persons wanting meat, Copenhaver said. He said the second cow, a Holstein Beifer, looked as if it had been beaten to death. The animal's left ear had been severed and was not found, he said. In some of the mutilations in Western States, lips had been removed from the cattle and their carcasses drained of all the blood. The UFO cult is believed to have camped five days in the Chain O' Lakes State Park 45 miles northwest of Chicago, rangers said Tuesday. "A group of about 50 persons took out camping permits on Oct. 2 and suddenly disappeared Oct. 7" said Mick Egan, chief park ranger at Chain O' Lakes. "It was about that time that the story broke about some 20 persons disappearing in Oregon to await time to leave Earth on a spaceship," he said. Egan said a man used the name "J. Seagle, Cherry Creed, California." in signing a camping permit on Oct 2. The man said other would follow. "They came in vans and cars bearing license plates from Texas, California, Washington, Colorado and Oregon," said Egan. "We thought it was very unusual, because travelers from those areas just don't show up here at this time of year at all. They wanted the cheapest camping spots and seemed strapped for money. They were evasive and kept to themselves. My patrolmen said some of them used Biblical names." Charlene Petrovic and her husband of Waukegan were camping at the park when the group was there. "They didn't look or act like campers at all," said Mrs. Petrovic. "They kept to themselves, sitting around together and doing nothing. On October 6 when the story was out about people vanishing in Oregon, the group got very excited. They milled around the ranger office and I heard a boy say: "I knew I made a mistake when I wrote my mother from Colorado to tell her I joined the group. The next day they were all gone - not a trace. It was if they simply were sucked off the Earth. All there junk was still at the campsites." A license check by the Oregonian with Oregon and California motor vehicle divisions in Oregon and California indicates the cars at the Illinois camp were driven by people with assumed names, or by drivers other than their owners. - A 1967 Rambler driven by a man giving the name "A Smith" is really registered to Rodney H. Adams, Newport Oregon. - A 1969 Pontiac operated by a man using the name "J. Simon" is registered to John M. and M. Craig, Bandon, Oregon. - A 1970 Volkswagen driven by a man using the name "D. Abel" is registered to John and Helen Wilson, Bandon, Oregon. - A 1952 International allegedly belonging to "M. Daniels" is registered to Suzanne Cooke, Point Reyes, California. - A 1964 Ford driven by "J. Stell" is registered to Paul Charles Groll, Milpitas, California. - A 1971 Ford camper, operated by a "B.L. Chrisensen" is registered to Dale F. Mackey of Los Angeles, California. ** END OF ARTICLE. ___
