Utah: Hemoglobin Identified in Mutilated Cow Residue
Scientists analyzed reddish particles from a mutilated cow found in Utah on February 21, 2001. Laboratory tests identified the substance as bovine hemoglobin, indicating complex blood processing occurred. This marked the second known case where such specific blood components were discovered at a cattle mutilation site.
Background
On February 21, 2001, a mutilated cow was discovered in a grove of trees in Utah under mysterious circumstances. The animal showed classic signs of cattle mutilation, including removal of the udder, a hole in the belly, and complete absence of blood from the carcass. Nearby trees showed damage, suggesting the animal may have fallen through branches or been dropped from above.
Red-brown particles collected from the hide near the anal excision were subjected to laboratory analysis. Tests revealed the presence of bovine hemoglobin, a specific blood protein component. The isolation of hemoglobin requires complex laboratory procedures involving centrifugation and chemical separation, making on-site production unlikely without sophisticated equipment.
This discovery marked only the second documented instance where hemoglobin was identified at a cattle mutilation site, the first occurring in Red Bluff, California in 1997. The findings suggest that whoever or whatever processed the animal possessed advanced knowledge of hematology and access to specialized processing capabilities. Source: Via TheBlackVault.com (FOIA).
