Psychic Vibrations
The Incredible Bouncing Cow
ROBERT SHEAFFER

One question has long plagued researchers of the paranormal and the
unexplained: when aliens return cows after they have finished mutilating
them, do the cows bounce when they hit the ground? Now, thanks to the
research of noted UFOlogist Linda Moulton Howe, we know that the
long-sought answer is yes, as established in Howe's ground-breaking
paper, "Scientific Data Supports Theory That Mutilated Montana Cow
Dropped from Sky and Bounced" (see http://tinyurl.com/yd6urr). Howe's
on-site investigation revealed far more than the usual alien
slice-and-dice operation on the poor dead animal: "there appeared to be
a bounce mark some four to five feet southeast of the dead cow's body.
The soil was shoved up against the north side of the mark, suggesting
that the 1,300-pound cow had dropped from high enough above to hit the
ground with considerable force and bounced to its final resting place
with its legs and head pointed north."

Howe submitted soil and barley samples to W.C. Levengood, a biophysicist
and PhD-Eq at the Pinelandia Biophysical Laboratory in Grass Lake,
Michigan, who specializes in the investigation of crop circles.
Levengood measured the "charge density plasma pulses" of the samples
(whatever they may be). He found that the greatest "energy change" was
about 200 feet south of the cow, and zero "energy" in the bounce mark in
the ground. He concluded, "Right at the cow, the energy in the plants
were also anomalously low. That would fit in because when the cow hit,
the initial impact and second landing, the plant energies were
neutralized." Who says that UFOlogy is not scientific? Howe suggests
that these "energy changes" might be due to "advanced beam technology,"
a kind of tractor beam that aliens allegedly use to pick up and return
cows, although it would seem that in this case the batteries or whatever
powers the tractor beam must have been a bit weak, setting the animal
down with a big thud. (For more on Levengood's research see "Italian
Skeptics Debunk Crop Cir-cle Electromagnetic Radiation Claim," SI,
September/October 2005.)

As if this were not sufficiently amazing, the famous animal that started
it all, Snippy the Horse, is back in the news after almost forty years.
Snippy, a three-year-old mare in Appaloosa, Colorado, became famous in
1967 when her owner, Nellie Lewis, claimed that she had been mutilated
by space aliens. Lewis claimed that the dead horse gave off a sweet
scent like incense, that its mane burned her fingers, and that the boots
she was wearing were later found to be "radioactive." No mention was
made as to whether poor Snippy bounced when the aliens dropped her off.
The Case of Snippy was investigated and included in the famous Condon
Report (Case 32), which concluded in true closed-minded debunker style
that "There was no evidence to support the assertion that the horse's
death was associated in any way with abnormal causes" (see
www.ncas.org/condon/text/case32.htm). Another spoilsport was local
veterinarian Wallace Leary, who determined that poor Snippy had been
shot twice in the legs with a .22 caliber rifle. This probably would not
have killed her, but may well have caused the infection that appears to
have left her disabled.
Snippy was the first widely publicized claim of alien mutilation of
livestock, and it seems to have started a big trend. Snippy now even has
her own Web site (www.snippy.com), which includes a Snippy store selling
Snippy merchandise. Recently Snippy's skeleton was offered for sale on
eBay, with a minimum bid of $50,000. However, bidding was suspended when
ownership of the bones was disputed (see http://tinyurl.com/y3qutv). No
mention was made of whether any bids for Snippy's bones were actually
received.

As scary as all this animal mutilation talk may be, it's nothing
compared to the hunt for the Skinwalker. A new book by Colm Kelleher and
George Knapp, Hunt for the Skinwalker, tells the chilling tale. Kelleher
is a physicist who formerly worked for the now-defunct National
Institute for Discovery Sciences (NIDS), funded by Las Vegas billionaire
Robert Bigelow. Knapp is a Las Vegas TV personality who has made a name
for himself reporting sensational stories about Area 51 and such. When
stories about an allegedly haunted ranch in northeastern Utah reached
NIDS, Bigelow decided to buy the ranch to further his paranormal
research. (The "Skinwalker Ranch" now has its own Wikipedia entry: see
http://en.wiki pedia.org/wiki/Skinwalker_Ranch).

According to Knapp, "For as long as anyone can remember, this part of
northeastern Utah has been the site of simply unbelievable paranormal
activity. UFOs, Sasquatch, cattle mutilations, psychic manifestations,
creatures that aren't found in any zoos or textbooks, poltergeist
events." He suggests that it may be "the strangest place on Earth." Some
observers trace this weirdness back to an old Indian curse that the
Navajo supposedly placed on the Utes. As you know, lots of paranormal
problems can be traced back to old Indian graveyards or curses; one
Indian graveyard in South Park, Colorado, has been particularly
troublesome. One anthropologist quoted in the book describes Skinwalker
beliefs as follows:

"Skinwalkers are purely evil in intent. I'm no expert on it, but the
general view is that skinwalkers do all sorts of terrible things?they
make people sick, they commit murders. They are grave robbers and
necrophiliacs. They are greedy and evil people who must kill a sibling
or other relative to be initiated as a skinwalker. They supposedly can
turn into were animals and can travel in supernatural ways."
The previous owner of the ranch had reportedly encountered numerous
unexplained phenomena, such as a bulletproof wolf that could not be
killed, and apparently walked off into thin air. Later, three dogs were
zapped by something while chasing blue orbs of light in a pasture. All
that was left of each of the dogs was a greasy, butter-like glob.

One of the incidents described in the book occurred in August 1997. Two
unnamed researchers were perched on a bluff of the ranch late at night,
monitoring a pasture. One of them descended into the pasture to
meditate, as he believed that this sometimes "activated the phenomenon."
After about two hours, they allegedly spotted a small yellow light a few
feet off the ground. They watched as it began to expand. One of them
grabbed a pair of Generation III ITT night vision binoculars, while the
other reached for a 35mm camera loaded with infrared film. As seen in
the binoculars, the light seemed to expand, and take on a tunnel like
appearance. At the far end of the tunnel, what started out as an
indistinct motion gradually became the head and shoulders of a humanoid
creature. It stepped out of the tunnel and walked off into the night.
All that remained was the smell of sulphur. Unfortunately, the observer
with the camera saw only the circle of light, and doesn't seem to have
taken any pictures anyway. Researchers installed cameras atop telephone
poles, but they were attacked and disabled by some invisible force.
Another golden opportunity for scientific research, lost forever. . . .

As scary as all this Skinwalker stuff is, it's nothing compared to the
story now being told by Robert Duncan O'Finioan, who claims to have been
"brainwashed, conditioned and controlled as part of a highly classified
MKULTRA program called Project Talent," and whose story is now being
featured on Jerry Pippin's mystery-mongering Internet broadcasts
(www.jerrypippin.com). Of a thousand others allegedly trained as "child
warriors" in 1966, he says he is one of only twenty left alive. He was
selected, he says, because of his mixed Native American and Celtic
heritage; both of those groups supposedly have unique spiritual and
mental abilities, so the combination is unbeatable for making a powerful
psychic warrior. His top-secret training, which was very abusive and
brutal, supposedly gave him "enhanced physical and psychic abilities . .
. including the abilities to hurl someone across the room with his mind,
and walk through a solid wall." His right arm was "hardwired" with an
"enhancer" implant, supposedly giving it "astonishing speed and
strength."

Supposedly O'Finioan and eleven other child warriors were flown to
Cambodia in 1972 to deliver a "death blow" to Khmer Rouge troops, "using
only the combined power of their minds." A helicopter lands, coming to
the aid of a platoon of Marines pinned down by hostile fire. Twelve
children disembark, form a semicircle, and hold hands. When their hands
are raised, the combined psychic force kills every enemy soldier within
twenty miles.

Now O'Finioan says he is beginning to recover conscious memories of all
these alarming events from his past, which had long been repressed by
the mind controllers. When he underwent a recent MRI scan, not only did
it detect an implant deep inside his brain, but the implant caused the
MRI machine to catch fire, sending doctors and nurses scurrying with
fire extinguishers. This also seems to have burned out the implant,
effectively freeing him from MKULTRA's control. Unfortunately, none of
his remarkable physical abilities are demonstrated on the video Ultimate
Warrior on Pippin's site, in which O'Finioan simply talks to the camera
and doesn't walk through any walls. By way of explanation, he says that
most of his paranormal abilities belong to his "alternate
personalities," which cannot be brought out on demand. What do his
enhanced mental abilities foresee for the future? A giant supervolcano
in a western state will rip the U.S. apart, and "very soon." So if this
happens, as you're being buried in ashes and debris, remember that you
read it here first.
