This article is a follow-up to my article Feature Articles: Is Bovine Hemoglobin the "Smoking Gun" in Cattle Mutilation Cases? published in the June, 2005 issue of The MUFON Journal (© 2005).

As a brief recap of that article, biophysicist Dr. W.C. Levengood of the Pinelandia Biophysical Laboratory in Grass Lake, Michigan, whose analytical methods involving crop formations and animal excisions have become the worldwide standard, shared his discovery of small, black, hardened specks on the chest and testicles at the point of the excision, which ultimately proved to be pure bovine hemoglobin.

In a peer review, analytical chemist Phyllis Budinger of Ohio confirmed his findings using the latest stateof-the-art infrared spectral photometer in analyzing the samples. The only known modern biochemical process to produce pure hemoglobin from human or animal blood is in a laboratory with chemicals, a centrifuge and strict temperature control.

"It's totally incomprehensible how the hemoglobin could be removed in the middle of the night out in the middle of a pasture and separated from all the other cellular components," Dr. Levengood states in his scientific paper "Biophysical Study of Two Bovine Excision Sites at Christmas Valley, Oregon, 2002" © 2002.

For this reason (as well as a laundry list of other elements of the evidence), Dr. Levengood rejects the skeptic's assertion that "cult worshipers" are to blame for the deed.

"The technology involved is beyond anything currently available," he says. So too does he reject the theory of predators. "The alterations are not a random ripping and tearing of the flesh, but rather, they are precise, surgical excisions." For this reason, the term "bovine excision" is a more accurate description of the scene than "cattle mutilation", for which the phenomenon is more commonly known.

In Dr. Levengood's scientific thesis, "Consistency in Patterns of Energy Distributions at Worldwide Bovine Excision Sites" (© 2006), he observes, "there is an energy pattern infused into the soil and grass in the immediate region around the animal, and extending outward in a radial manner.

The type of energy applied, increases the thermodynamic free energy of both the grass and soil. These free energy changes are consistently observed in most all excision cases examined in this laboratory." This energy pattern extends outward from two to thirty feet from the carcass.

A well-known aspect of animal excision cases is the fact that other animals refuse to venture into the area where the carcass was discovered long after the carcass has been removed.

In a recent bovine excision investigation in Boyne Lake, Alberta, Canada, Dr. Levengood writes, "When the owners arrived in the field, and found the dead cow, the rest of the herd were very upset and ran away from them as they approached. They told me that had never occurred before."

This curious characteristic of the phenomenon could well be explained by the energies being radiated from the site. This energy may be outside the range of human perception but well within that of other animals. With the aid of scientific instruments, these energies are easily detected and help to verify the reason for the animal's reluctance to enter the area.

An affiliation between animal excisions and crop formations has long been suspected among UFOlogists and, covertly, some mainstream scientists. Many characteristics, such as high concentrations of "magnetic particles", are found in both instances. Biophysicist Dr. Levengood has alluded to this connection for years without directly making this assertion.

However, recently he has become more candid in his treatment of both subjects. In the aforementioned scientific paper he writes, "We don't know why specific organs are excised. Do the bovine organs concentrate certain elements such as the rare earths [Cerium (Ce), Praseodymium (Pr), Neodymium (Nd), Samarium (Sm) etc.] that are of importance in the restoration of free energy in the internal cells of the entities involved?"

Entities involved?! What entities involved?!

Dr. Levengood references the book "Raechel's Eyes" by Helen Littrell and Jean Bilodeaux (Wild Flower Press, 2005, pp. 96), in which cattle abductions and excisions are mentioned at length. "This process is described by HL as taking place in 'a vortex of highly charged light particles, which transports the animal to a waiting spacecraft hovering above'.
