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. Yet, of all the impossible and improbable anomalies discovered in scores of cattle mutilations around the world each year, since the 1950s, pure bovine hemoglobin can now be added to the list.

For those unfamiliar with the phenomenon, ranchers have awakened to find one or more of their cattle dead on their property. Not just deceased but, at first glance, brutally mutilated. The ranchers know that the particular animal was alive and well as recently as 12 hours prior to the find. But the skeptic's unwavering and illogical conclusion is either "predator" or "satanic cult."

Upon closer observation, it is discovered that the animal was not mutilated, as would be true in the case of a predator, instead "operated" upon and specific organs removed with laser-like precision. A similar pattern of hide and tissue are removed from the head. Usually an ear, eye, jaw flesh, the tongue, and sexual organs are removed. In almost all cases, the rectum and/or vaginal tract in females have been cored out. The excision sites appear to be "cauterized" around the edges, indicating some form of heat was employed in the process.

To add to the mystery, there is no sign of a struggle nor are there tire tracks or footprints around the carcass - not even of the animal itself. Occasionally bones are broken at the point where the carcass has impacted the ground, suggesting it had been dropped from some height. As eerily precise as the unusual animal deaths are, typically there is absolutely no blood to be found around or near the carcass. Further, the animal itself is completely devoid of blood. Other natural predators such as coyotes and wolves refuse to go near the area of the carcass.

In October of 2000, biophysicist W.C. Levengood of The Pinelandia Biophysical Laboratory in Grass Lake Michigan called Linda Moulton Howe, to discuss his amazing findings concerning a bovine excision case that had occurred in 1997 in Red Bluff, California.

W.C. Levengood is a world-renowned biophysicist who has worked extensively in the field of "subtle" or "implicate" energies. He is well known for his work in crop formations and bovine excisions. His method for determining the authenticity of crop formations has become the standard for cereologists worldwide. Ms. Howe is an Emmy Award-winning TV and documentary producer, investigative reporter, and Reporter and Editor of the science and environment news website, Earthfiles.com. The full report, may be found at Ms. Howe's web site, Earthfiles (Monday, October 16, 2000 - Part 2)

A 2,000-pound Black Angus bull had been discovered at the ranch of Jean and Bill Barton that displayed all the signs of a classic bovine excision. The bull was found in a hillside pasture about one-half mile from the only dirt road that led into the area and could only be reached on foot or horseback.

Besides the typical earmarks of a genuinely anomalous excision site, small black, hardened specks were discovered on the chest and testicles at the point of the excision. Samples of these were gathered by field investigators Jean Bilodeaux and Royce Myers and delivered to Levengood for analysis. To Levengood's amazement, he found them to be pure hemoglobin!

To confirm his findings, he sent the samples to analytical chemist Phyllis Budinger in Ohio. Ms. Budinger used the latest state-of-the-art infrared spectral photometer to analyze the samples. Her findings confirmed Levengood's suspensions that these were indeed samples of raw bovine hemoglobin.

Levengood states in his report, "The fact that erythrocytes, leukocytes and other components such as enzymes and hormones are missing - somehow they had to be extracted from the blood of the animal in order to obtain the very homogeneous hemoglobin. To do this, you need to break down the cell membranes to the erythrocytes and leukocytes to remove the hemoglobin molecules. To do this, requires a laboratory procedure with very precise biochemical steps.

"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." (My emphasis.)

He adds, "Here you have two basic enigmas: how was it removed in the fresh state and remained biochemically active in a very pure form? And second, how was this formed into a solid that looks like a piece of old, black Bakelite - a very black, hard substance? So what this does in my estimation, it takes it out of the realm of the predators, takes it out of the realm of devil worshippers.

"This has to be an extremely sophisticated process. I have no idea how it is done," he admits.

Identical evidence has been uncovered in bovine excision cases in California, Texas and Alabama.
