ON THIS EPISODE
OF "EXPEDITION X..."

WOW, THAT IS BIG.

...MY TEAM
INVESTIGATES A NEW WAVE

OF BIZARRE DEATHS
IN EASTERN OREGON.

I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IT IN MY LIFE.

IT GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS.

A MYSTERIOUS KILLER

LURKS IN THE SHADOWS.

IT'S THAT WAY.SO IS SOMETHING OVER THERE?

YES.

BUT IS IT MAN...

WHAT IS THIS?

HO...LY...

...BEAST...

...OR SOMETHING ELSE?

THEY'RE MOVING.
THEY'RE MOVING.
THEY'RE MOVING.

WHOA, WHOA!

EASY NOW!

MY NAME IS JOSH GATES.

IN MY TRAVELS, I'VE EXPERIENCED
STRANGE THINGS THAT DEFY LOGIC

AND MADE ME QUESTION EVERYTHING.

OH, MY GOD.

NOW, I'VE PUT TOGETHER A TEAM

TO INVESTIGATE THE STRANGER SIDE
OF THE UNKNOWN.

LET'S GO!

PHIL TORRES IS A SCIENTIST WHO
HUNTS FOR RATIONAL EXPLANATIONS.

JESSICA CHOBOT'S
PARANORMAL RESEARCH

HAS MADE HER A TRUE BELIEVER.

PHIL, DO YOU SEE THAT?

I JUST SAW
SOMETHING RUN ACROSS.

TOGETHER WE'RE SEARCHING
FOR ANSWERS...

WHAT IS THAT?

...TO THE WORLD'S
MOST EXTRAORDINARY MYSTERIES.

THIS IS "EXPEDITION X."

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

SO CASE WE'RE TACKLING TODAY
IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN

BAFFLING EXPERTS IN THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST--

NOT BIGFOOT.

DAMN IT.

ACTUALLY, IT'S SOMETHING
MUCH MORE DISTURBING.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
CATTLE MUTILATIONS.

SO, WE'VE ALL HEARD
OF THIS RIGHT?

YOU KNOW, THESE ARE OTHERWISE
HEALTHY ANIMALS

THAT ARE SUDDENLY
FOUND DEAD,

NO SIGN OF A STRUGGLE,

OFTEN WITH THESE
STRANGE SURGICAL-LIKE CUTS

AND ORGANS REMOVED.

YEAH, WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS
AS A BIOLOGIST

IS THAT IT IS REAL.

LIKE, THIS ISN'T
JUST ANECDOTES OR A FUZZY TAPE.

THERE ARE THESE GIANT
FOUR-HOOVED CHUNKS

OF EVIDENCE LEFT BEHIND

THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY ANALYZE
SCIENTIFICALLY, RIGHT?

WELL, ALRIGHT, BUT ISN'T
THAT PART OF THE PROBLEM--

THE FACT THAT SCIENTISTS
AND INVESTIGATORS

HAVE BEEN LOOKING
INTO THIS FOR DECADES

AND THEY STILL
CAN'T EXPLAIN IT?

RIGHT.
THE FIRST EXPLOSION OF CASES

HAPPENED IN THE 1970s.
IN THAT DECADE ALONE,

21 DIFFERENT STATES

REPORTED SIGNIFICANT
CATTLE MUTILATIONS,

AND NOW WHATEVER'S
CAUSING IT

SEEMS TO BE BACK
IN THE STATE OF OREGON.

SINCE 1973, OVER 10,000 HEAD
OF CATTLE HAVE BEEN BUTCHERED

IN A WAY
THAT HAS BAFFLED RESEARCHERS.

EVEN THE LEADING LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCY IN THE COUNTRY

HAS INVESTIGATED.

IN MAY 1979,
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES

LAUNCHED A COMPREHENSIVE INQUIRY

INTO THE CATTLE
MUTILATION PHENOMENON.

THE FBI ISSUED THEIR FINAL
REPORT IN JUNE OF 1980,

SAYING THE DEATHS WERE MOST
LIKELY THE RESULT OF COMMON

PREDATORS CONSUMING THE SOFT
TISSUE OF THE CARCASSES.

IT'S A CONCLUSION THAT HAS
REMAINED CONTENTIOUS TO THIS DAY

BECAUSE EVERY YEAR SINCE,
RANCHERS DISCOVERED DEAD CATTLE

WITH A VARIETY OF ORGANS
REMOVED WITH SURGICAL PRECISION,

OFTEN WITH THEIR BLOOD DRAINED,
NO SIGNS OF STRUGGLE,

OR ANY OTHER REAL CLUES
LEFT BEHIND.

NO FOOTPRINTS, NO TIRE TRACKS,
NO DISTURBANCES.

ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR THEORIES
IS ALSO ONE OF THE WILDEST--

THAT THESE ATTACKS
ARE A DIRECT RESULT

OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL VISITATION.

BELIEVERS POINT TO REPORTS OF
UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS

SPOTTED AROUND THE TIME
OF THE MUTILATIONS,

LEAVING MANY TO WONDER
IF THERE'S A CONNECTION.

ON TOP OF THAT,
RECENTLY RELEASED DATA

CONFIRMS
THAT THE STATE OF OREGON

HAS THE SECOND-MOST
UFO SIGHTINGS IN THE COUNTRY.

IT HAS EVEN BEEN PROPOSED
THAT CATTLE MUTILATIONS

ARE PART OF SINISTER
CULT RITUALS,

A TOP-SECRET
GOVERNMENT OPERATION,

OR THE WORK OF SOME UNKNOWN CRYPTID.

WITH A NEW WAVE
OF STRANGE INCIDENTS

UNFOLDING IN EASTERN OREGON,
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

NOT ONLY
ARE THE RANCHERS FRUSTRATED,

BUT THEY'RE ALSO SCARED OF WHAT
MIGHT BE LURKING ON THEIR LAND.

SO, THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER
OF RECENT CASES IN OREGON,

BUT THERE IS A RANCH
IN EASTERN OREGON

THAT JUST SAW FIVE HEAD
OF CATTLE SLAIN,

SEEMINGLY DRAINED OF BLOOD
WITH THEIR ORGANS REMOVED.

SO THIS IS HAPPENING
CURRENTLY?

YEAH, THIS IS HAPPENING
RIGHT NOW.

YEAH, LET'S GET OUT THERE.

OKAY, LET'S DO IT.

MY TEAM HOPS A FLIGHT

AND TRAVELS 2,900 MILES

FROM NEW YORK
TO PORTLAND, OREGON,

THEN IT'S A 4 1/2 HOUR DRIVE
SOUTHEAST TO A RANCH IN SENECA

AND THE SCENE OF A RECENT SLAUGHTER

THAT DEFIES EXPLANATION.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK IS CAUSING
ALL THESE CATTLE MUTILATIONS?

ONE OF THE BEST LESSONS
I'VE LEARNED AS A BIOLOGIST

IS JUST KNOWING
HOW UNEXPECTED

AND FASCINATING NATURE
CAN REALLY BE.

PEOPLE ARE ENCOUNTERING
A PART OF NATURE

THAT THEY DIDN'T
KNOW EXISTED...

MAYBE THERE'S A NEW PREDATOR
OR A NEW SCAVENGER AROUND HERE

THAT'S EATING THEM
IN AN UNUSUAL WAY.

...SO THEY LEAN TOWARDS
THE SUPERNATURAL

OR THE SOMETHING ELSE.

YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT RANCHERS HERE,

RANCHERS THAT HAVE
BEEN HERE FOR GENERATIONS.

THEY'VE DEFINITELY SEEN
A DEAD COW

THAT HAS BEEN SCAVENGED.
SO FOR THEM TO SAY

THAT THEY DON'T KNOW

WHAT IS CAUSING
THESE MUTILATIONS

I THINK IS VERY INTERESTING
AND SOMETHING

THAT WE REALLY NEED TO
PAY ATTENTION TO.

I WILL AGREE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF UNANSWERED
QUESTIONS HERE

AND A LOT OF WEIRD STUFF.YEAH.

ALRIGHT,
SEE WHAT WE FIND OUT HERE.

YEP.

JESS AND PHIL ARRIVE
AT THE RANCH TO MEET

WITH COLBY MARSHALL.

HE'S BEEN WORKING
WITH CATTLE HIS WHOLE LIFE,

HAVING BEEN RAISED
WRANGLING THE HERD

ON HIS FAMILY'S PROPERTY,
AND HE WAS WORKING HERE

IS THE VICE PRESIDENT
OF RANCH OPERATIONS

WHEN BULLS JUST RECENTLY
STARTED TURNING UP DEAD.

WHAT DID YOU SEE THERE?IT WAS REALLY A SURREAL SCENE.

I COME UPON THIS CRITTER

AND HE'S LAYING THERE
AND THERE'S NO BITE MARKS,

THERE'S NO FROTH,
THERE'S NO STRUGGLE,

AND THERE WASN'T
A DROP OF BLOOD.

THAT IS-- THAT IS SO WEIRD.THAT'S SO WEIRD.

AND NOT ONLY
IS THERE NO BLOOD AT THE SCENES,

BUT THEN
THE TESTICLES AND THE PENIS

AND THE ANUS
AND THE TONGUES ARE MISSING.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT
IN MY LIFE.

SO, IF YOU HAD FOUND
ONE OF THOSE CATTLE

THAT LOOKED MUTILATED,
THAT WOULD'VE

STOOD OUT TO YOU?
ABSOLUTELY.

BUT YOU FOUND FIVE IN TWO DAYS.CORRECT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS?
POSSIBLY A CULT GROUP.

- HMM.
- WOW.

THERE'S SOME
VERY IMPORTANT REASON

WHY THEY ARE HARVESTING

THOSE ORGANS
FROM A LIVE ANIMAL

THAT'S OUT FREE-RANGE,

AND THE TYPE OF GROUP
THAT WOULD DO

THIS KIND OF ACTIVITY
IS VERY CLOSE-KNIT.

HAVE CULTS BEEN KNOWN TO BE
IN THIS AREA?

THIS IS AN ISOLATED,

VERY REMOTE PART
OF THE UNITED STATES.

THIS IS A PLACE
WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME

TO BECOME UNKNOWN,
IF YOU WILL

NOT BE NOTICED.CORRECT.

FOR DECADES, THERE'S BEEN
A LONG-STANDING RUMOR

THAT CULTS AND SATANISTS

COULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
CATTLE MUTILATIONS.

MANY BELIEVE
IT'S THE DIRECT RESULT

OF THE SO-CALLED SATANIC PANIC,

A MASS MEDIA SCARE THAT LED
TO FRIGHTFUL ACCUSATIONS

AND TRIALS AGAINST SATANISTS

IN THE '80s AND '90s.

IN OREGON ALONE, BY 1990,

LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WAS
INVESTIGATING OVER 300 CRIMES

BELIEVED TO BE LINKED
TO THE OCCULT,

INCLUDING CASES OF RITUAL
SACRIFICE AGAINST ANIMALS.

SO MAYBE THE IDEA
ISN'T SO OUTLANDISH AFTER ALL.

WE TOOK ACTIONS
BY BRINGING IN LAW ENFORCEMENT

THAT COULD INVESTIGATE

AND HOPEFULLY GIVE US
SOME ANSWERS.

SO WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO SAY?WELL, AT THE END OF THE DAY,

THEY FOUND NOTHING.

THESE RANCHERS
LOST $7,000

FOR EACH MUTILATED ANIMAL,

AND ALL THEY HAVE TO SHOW FOR IT

OR SOME TRULY HORRIFIC

CRIME SCENE PHOTOS.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE ALL OF THOSE
ORGANS HAVE BEEN TAKEN,

BUT WITHOUT ACTUALLY CAUSING
ANY DAMAGE TO THE ABDOMEN.

THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING,
AND THEY KNEW HOW TO DO IT.

I WONDER IF A SCAVENGER
CAME BY

AND TORE AT THOSE ORGANS.

THIS RIGHT HERE
IS THE PART OF THE ANIMAL

THAT SCAVENGERS
LOVE TO GET TO,

AND NOTHING
IS TOUCHING THIS CARCASS.

HMM.THAT IS COMPLETELY ODD.

IT GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS.

IT WOULD BE GREAT
IF WE COULD SEE THE LOCATION

WHERE YOU FOUND
THE FIRST BULL.

IS THAT POSSIBLE?
ABSOLUTELY.

BUT THERE'S
SOME RUGGED TERRAIN.

BUT THERE'S A WAY
TO GET THERE.

NOW, THIS IS HOW YOU GET AROUND
THE COUNTRY!

WATCH IT HERE!

COLBY LEADS THE TEAM
ON ATVs FOR A 10-MILE RIDE

TO THE REMOTE CRIME SCENE,
WHERE PHIL AND JESS

PLAN TO SET UP
THEIR OWN INVESTIGATION.

ALRIGHT!

THIS RANCH SPRAWLS 140,000 ACRES...

HEY, BUDDY!...MAKING IT EASY TO SEE

HOW SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN
TO ONE OF THESE ANIMALS

WITHOUT ANYONE WITNESSING IT,

WHETHER THE CULPRIT BE
MAN, BEAST, OR OTHERWISE.

THIS THE SPOT?

THIS IS THE SPOT.

WE FOUND
THE FIRST BULL HERE,

WE FOUND THE NEXT BULL
KIND OF ON DOWN THE STREAM,

AND THEN WE FOUND
THREE OTHER BULLS UPSTREAM

FROM WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.WELL, WE'RE KIND OF

IN PART OF IT, THEN.
THIS IS PERFECT.

I FEEL LIKE THIS
WOULD BE A GOOD SPOT

TO SET UP CAMP IF YOU ARE
OKAY WITH US BEING HERE.

YOU GUYS ARE WELCOME TO CAMP
OUT HERE ON THIS GROUND.

I JUST WANT YOU
TO BE CAREFUL TONIGHT.

WHY?

WELL, WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S OUT HERE.

THIS LOCATION IS THE EPICENTER
OF THE FIVE RECENT MUTILATIONS,

SO THE TEAM HURRIES
TO SET UP CAMP BEFORE NIGHTFALL.

THEY'LL INVESTIGATE
THIS AREA AT NIGHT

WHEN MOST CATTLE MUTILATIONS
TAKE PLACE TO TRY TO FIND OUT

WHO OR WHAT MAY BE
LURKING AROUND THIS RANCH.

WHAT'S KNOWN HERE--
MOUNTAIN LION, BEAR, BOBCAT.

WHAT'S UNKNOWN HERE

THAT I THINK MAY BE
LEAVING SIGNS

THAT THE RANCHERS DON'T KNOW
IS WOLF.

THEY'VE BEEN SEEN
THREE COUNTIES NORTH OF HERE

BUT HAVEN'T BEEN
DETECTED HERE IN DECADES.

AND CHECK THIS THING OUT.
IT'S CALLED THE FOXPRO.

UH-HUH.IT'S INCREDIBLY LOUD SPEAKER

WITH THE CATALOG OF
WILD ANIMALS YOU CAN CALL IN,

INCLUDING WOLF.

SO, WHAT YOU'RE
TELLING ME IS

WE'RE DRAWING WOLVES
TOWARDS US.

THAT IS THE PLAN,

BUT TO KEEP US EXTRA SAFE

OR AT LEAST LET US KNOW WHAT'S
COMING AT US, I HAVE THESE.

SO IT'S BASICALLY LIKE A
LASER TRIP WIRE--

ANYTHING CROSSES THAT,

IT'S GONNA TRIGGER THIS,

WHICH WE CAN KEEP AT CAMP.

SO WILL AT LEAST HAVE
A GOOD HEADS UP

IF SOMETHING
IS HEADING OUR WAY.

AWESOME.
SO I'LL GET A HEADS UP

THAT I'M GONNA DIE SOON

INSTEAD OF
JUST SURPRISED WITH IT.

'CAUSE I HATE SURPRISES.EXACTLY.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE SURPRISED.

FANTASTIC.

ALRIGHT, WELL,
IF YOU'RE SET HERE,

THEN I'M GONNA TAKE A QUICK
SWEEP OF THE AREA.

COLBY'S SO CONVINCED

THAT THERE'S SOMETHING
CULT-LIKE HAPPENING HERE,

SO I JUST WANT TO DO
A QUICK RUN

AND SEE WHAT I CAN SEE.ALRIGHT, BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.

WHILE JESS CANVAS IS THE AREA,

I'M SETTING UP A SERIES
OF INFRARED TRAIL CAMERAS

BETWEEN THE LASER TRIP WIRES.

SO, IF WE DO DRAWN IN A PREDATOR

THAT MAY BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THESE MUTILATIONS,

WE CAN CAPTURE
PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE.

I TAKE THE QUAD
TO COVER MORE GROUND,

LOOKING FOR ANYTHING
OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS,
I SEE A VAGUE WHITE SHAPE

THAT CUTS THROUGH THE DARKNESS.

OH, .
WHAT'S THAT?

SO I PUT ON
A PAIR OF NIGHT-VISION GOGGLES

FOR BETTER VISIBILITY.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

THAT IS NOT NORMAL.

OH, .
WHAT IS THIS?

OKAY, YEP.

THIS IS EXTREMELY CREEPY.

JESS,
YOU GOT SOMETHING?

UH, YEAH.
DEFINITELY GOT SOMETHING.

THERE IS A SKULL
OF SOME SORT

WITH BLOOD ON IT.

THAT IS NOT NORMAL.

OH, .
WHAT IS THIS?

JESS,
YOU GOT SOMETHING?

UH, YEAH.
DEFINITELY GOT SOMETHING.

THERE IS A SKULL
OF SOME SORT

WITH BLOOD ON IT
AND THEN A PILE OF BONES

NEXT TO
A BUNCH OF BEER BOTTLES

AND A PAW

WITH FUR ON IT
LYING NEXT TO THIS SKULL.

YIKES.
THAT'S PRETTY CREEPY.

I'M NOT SURE
WHAT I'M SEEING HERE,

BUT IT'S DEFINITELY
CREEPY--

THE BLOOD, THE PAW,
ALL OF IT.

SOMEBODY'S BEEN BACK HERE.

I JUST FEEL LIKE
YOU SHOULD HEAD BACK TO CAMP.

LET ME COLLECT THE STUFF
THEN I'LL HEAD BACK.

COPY THAT.
SEE YOU AT BASE CAMP.

THE RANCHERS HERE ARE CONVINCED
THAT SOME SORT OF CULT

COULD BE INVOLVED
IN THESE BIZARRE SLAYINGS,

AND BASED ON THE SCENE
THAT I JUST DISCOVERED,

MAYBE THEY'RE RIGHT.

CHECK OUT WHAT I FOUND.

WHOA!
YEAH.

OKAY. UH...
LOOK AT THAT.

HORSE SKULL.

ALRIGHT, WELL,
THIS WAS RIGHT NEXT TO IT.

THIS COULD BE A FOX
'CAUSE THE CLAWS ARE OUT.

GENERALLY WITH CANIDS,
THEY'RE OUT.

WITH CATS, THEY'RE RETRACTED
UNTIL THEY PUT THEM OUT.

WELL, HERE,
LOOK AT THE PICTURES.

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.

AND THERE'S THAT PILE OF BONES.OH, MY GOSH.

YEAH.
THOSE TEETH.

AND THEN
WE'VE GOT THE BEER BOTTLES

SPREAD OUT
ALL OVER THE PLACE.

IT DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE,
YOU KNOW,

TRASH WAS LEFT BEHIND.

FIRST OFF,
THESE ARE NOT CATTLE REMAINS.

THAT'S IMPORTANT.
I MEAN, LOOK AT THIS.

HORSE SKULL, I DON'T KNOW,
ROAD KILL PAW,

AND BEER BOTTLES.

IT'S JUST SO RANDOM.

PEOPLE IN TOWN KNOW

THAT THE CATTLE MUTILATIONS
HAPPENED HERE.

MAYBE SOME TEENAGERS COME OUT,
HAVE SOME BEERS,

BRING SOMETHING
THAT LOOKS CREEPY...

WHAT DID YOU SET UP
AND WHAT ARE WE DOING TONIGHT?

BASICALLY,
I HAVE THE ENTIRE PERIMETER

SET UP
WITH THAT LASER TRIP WIRE.

SO IF ANYTHING CROSSES
OVER THERE,

WE WILL GET NOTIFIED HERE.

WITH THIS,
EACH ONE OF THESE NUMBERS

CORRESPONDS TO
A DIFFERENT SENSOR THAT I HAVE.

GOTCHA.

I'VE SET UP
THE LASER TRIP WIRES.

IN A BOX PATTERN SURROUNDING
OUR BASE CAMP.

IN ADDITION, I'VE ALSO PLACED
A SERIES OF TRAIL CAMERAS

ALL ALONG THAT PATH.

IF ANYTHING CROSSES
THIS MOTION SENSOR,

WE'LL GET A PHOTO OF IT.OKAY.

BUT TO GET SOMETHING
TO APPROACH,

THAT'S WHY WE GOT
THE FOXPRO.

THIS GAME CALLER
IS A HIGH-DEFINITION SPEAKER

THAT SENDS OUT A WOLF HOWL
THAT CAN BE HEARD

AS FAR AS 10 MILES AWAY.

SO IF THERE ARE WOLVES
ANYWHERE WITHIN THAT RANGE,

I'M HOPING THEY'LL RESPOND.

OKAY, YOU READY?

YEAH.

OH, THAT'S SCARY.

OKAY, LET'S LISTEN.

WOLVES HOWL TO ADVERTISE
THE SIZE OF THEIR PACK,

WARN EACH OTHER OF DANGER,

AND TO FIND OTHER WOLVES.

IF THESE PACK PREDATORS
HAVE RETURNED TO THE AREA,

THEN FREE-RANGE CATTLE
COULD MAKE FOR IDEAL PREY.

THAT THING
IS FREAKING LOUD.

IF ANY WOLF
IS AROUND HERE,

THEY HEARD THAT.

HEARING ANYTHING?NO, NOTHING YET.

FOR THE NEXT HOUR,

WE SEND OUT THE VIRTUAL
WOLF CALL,

BUT SO FAR,
WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN A RESPONSE.

HIT NUMBER FOUR.

THAT'S OVER HERE.
IT'S THAT WAY.

DOES THAT MEAN
IT'S CLOSE?

SENSOR'S ABOUT
100 YARDS OUT.

I THINK THAT'S NOT THAT FAR OFF.NO.

SO IS SOMETHING OVER THERE?

YES.

I HAVE A TRAIL CAM SET
OVER THERE...

OKAY.

...AND I THINK IT'S WORTH CHECKING.

YOU WANT TO GO OUT THERE?

WHATEVER CROSSED THAT SENSOR,
WE SHOULD HAVE A PHOTO OF IT.

I MEAN, FOR ALL WE KNOW,
IT'S A DEER.

I WANT TO KNOW.

ALRIGHT?
ALRIGHT, YEAH.

SOMETHING TRIPPED SENSOR
NUMBER FOUR NORTH OF CAMP.

WITH COUGARS, BEARS, COYOTES
ALREADY CONFIRMED

HUNTING IN THESE HILLS,

WE NEED TO STAY ALERT.

YEAH, IT'S ON THIS TREE.
SEE IT?

OH, YEP. I SEE IT.

LET'S CHECK IT OUT.

ALRIGHT.

MOMENT OF TRUTH.
- ALRIGHT.

WE GOT SOMETHING.

ALRIGHT,
LET'S BRING THIS BACK.

SEE WHAT WE GOT ON THE CARD.

IF A WOLF PACK HAS MIGRATED
TO THIS RANCH,

IT STRENGTHENS MY THEORY
THAT PREDATORS

COULD BE PREYING
ON THE CATTLE HERE.

OKAY.
MOMENT OF TRUTH HERE.

WHAT DO WE GOT?

LOOK AT THAT!HOLY . THERE IT IS.

BIG HEAD. THICK TAIL.

THAT'S A WOLF.

THERE'S A PREDATOR
THAT LIVES HERE

THAT IS CAPABLE OF TAKING DOWN
A 2,000 POUND BULL

AND THEY HUNT IN A PACK.
AND WE'VE ESTABLISHED

SOMETHING THAT THEY DIDN'T
KNOW HERE BEFORE.

THIS IS BIG.
I HEAR YOU,

BUT THAT STILL
DOES NOT EXPLAIN

WHY THERE'S NO BLOOD ANYWHERE
THESE CARCASSES ARE FOUND.

ADMIT IT.
THERE'S STILL SO MUCH MORE

WE NEED TO EXPLAIN TO FIND OUT
WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

IT'S TRUE.

DEFINITELY WE'RE ABLE
TO PROVE

THAT THERE'S PACK PREDATORS
OUT HERE.

OH, YES.
THAT STILL DOESN'T

EXPLAIN TO ME

WHAT IS MAKING THOSE
SURGICAL CUTS

AND WHY IS THERE NO BLOOD.

WELL, THERE'S AN ENTIRE SCIENCE
OF PEOPLE STUDYING

HOW THINGS DECAY IN NATURE

AND SPECIFICALLY HOW BUGS

WILL EAT AWAY
AT ROTTEN FLESH.

MAYBE EVEN LEAVE SOMETHING

THAT LOOKS LIKE
A SURGICAL INCISION.

SO, I SAY WE SET UP
A SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT

THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO SHOW US
WHERE THE BLOOD WENT, ETC.

OKAY.
I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

ALRIGHT. WE GOT A PLAN.

I LIKE HAVING A PLAN. YEAH.

IT'S LIKE WE ALMOST KNOW
WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR ONCE.

TO PUT MY THEORY TO THE TEST

THAT INSECTS
MAY HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE

FOR THE ANOMALOUS WOUNDS
ON THE CATTLE,

WE NEED TO RECORD HOW A DEAD
BULL NATURALLY DECOMPOSES

IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT.

COLBY WAS ABLE TO PUT ME
IN TOUCH WITH A RANCHER

THAT HAS A BULL THAT JUST
PASSED AWAY.

THE RANCHER AGREED
TO TAKE IT TO A REMOTE LOCATION

FOR LITTLE SCIENCE EXPERIMENT

THAT JUST MIGHT BREAK
THIS CASE WIDE OPEN.

WOW, THAT IS BIG.

YOU CAN PUT HIM DOWN HERE!
THIS LOOKS GOOD!

- OHH.
- OOF...

AH...
WOW.

ALRIGHT. THANKS.

TO EXECUTE MY PLAN,
FIRST WE'RE GOING TO SET UP

A SERIES OF TIME-LAPSE CAMERAS
AROUND THE CARCASS

TO CAPTURE A 360-VIEW
OF THE DECOMPOSING BULL

FOR AT LEAST 36 HOURS.

WE'LL COMPARE
THE IMAGES OF THIS DEAD BULL

TO THE IMAGES OF THE MUTILATED
ANIMALS ON COLBY'S RANCH

TO SEE IF A COMBINATION
OF SCAVENGERS, INSECTS,

AND NATURAL DECOMPOSITION

CAN PRODUCE SIMILAR RESULTS.

ALRIGHT, IF WE GET
THE EXACT SAME THING

FROM NATURAL CAUSES,

THEN CASE CLOSED.
WE SOLVED IT.

IF WE DON'T, THEN
WE'RE RIGHT BACK ON MY SIDE.

THERE'S MORE GOING ON HERE
THAN JUST SCAVENGERS AND BUGS.

WE'LL SEE. ALRIGHT.

WHILE PHIL'S EXPERIMENT COULD
EXPLAIN POTENTIAL NATURAL CAUSES

FOR THE STRANGE WOUNDS
FOUND ON THE CATTLE,

I WANT TO RUN DOWN A POTENTIAL
OTHERWORLDLY CULPRIT.

ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS

AND ADMITTEDLY
MOST DRAMATIC THEORIES

IS THAT THESE MUTILATIONS
ARE CONNECTED TO UFOs.

THE FACT IS, THERE HAVE
BEEN COUNTLESS SIGHTINGS

OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS

OBSERVED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY
TO CATTLE MUTILATION SITES.

EVEN IN THIS AREA,
DOZENS OF EYEWITNESSES

HAVE RECENTLY REPORTED UFOs,

AND I'VE TRACKED DOWN
ONE LOCAL MAN,

WHO'S MANAGED TO ACTUALLY
CAPTURE THEM ON CAMERA.

HOW YOU DOING?HI.

KAINAN JORDAN RECENTLY FILMED
A GROUPING OF STRANGE LIGHTS

FLYING JUST 40 MILES SOUTH OF
THE GRISLY CRIME SCENE

AT COLBY'S RANCH.

THANKS FOR MEETING US OUT HERE.YOU'RE WELCOME.

SO YOU'VE SEEN SOME PRETTY
STRANGE THINGS

IN THE SKY LATELY.ONE NIGHT, I WAS UP HERE

JUST FILMING A BLOOD MOON

WHEN I NOTICED
SOME ORANGE LIGHTS

COMING UP OVER THE HORIZON

AND MOVING
ACROSS THE DESERT THAT WAY.

I FILMED THEM
FOR PROBABLY ABOUT AN HOUR.

THE LIGHTS
THAT KAINAN CAPTURED ON CAMERA

WERE SEEN AROUND THE SAME TIME

AS THE RECENT CATTLE MUTILATIONS,

AND I DON'T THINK
THAT'S A COINCIDENCE.

CAN WE SEE THE VIDEO
YOU TOOK OF THEM?

YES, ABSOLUTELY.

ALRIGHT,
LET'S CHECK THIS OUT.

AND THESE COULDN'T POSSIBLY
BE CARS

OR ANYTHING DRIVING
ALONG THE HORIZON?

THERE'S NO POSSIBILITY
THAT THEY WERE AUTOMOBILES.

OH, THAT IS WEIRD.

LOOK AT THAT!I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

RECENT CATTLE MUTILATIONS
HAVE LEFT RESIDENTS

IN EASTERN OREGON
GRIPPED BY TERROR.

AND WITH UNIDENTIFIED
FLYING OBJECTS REPORTED

AND FILMED IN THE SAME AREA
AROUND THE SAME TIME

AS THE RECENT WAVE OF ATTACKS,

PHIL AND JESS
HAVE DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE

IF THESE PHENOMENA
ARE CONNECTED.

ALRIGHT,
LET'S CHECK THIS OUT.

OH, THAT IS WEIRD.Torres: LOOK AT THAT!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

THAT RED LIGHT
WAS ALWAYS THERE.

THEY JUST ALL ORIGINATED HERE
AND TRAVEL THIS WAY.

THEY'RE NOT FLARES BECAUSE
THEY MOVE ON THEIR OWN POWER.

THEY'RE COMPLETELY SILENT,
SO THEY'RE NOT JETS.

THAT IS SO STRANGE.THAT IS SO BIZARRE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE SEEING THERE?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

THEY'RE NOT ANY KIND OF AIRCRAFT
THAT I'M FAMILIAR WITH.

HAVE YOU HEARD
OF ANY CORRELATION

BETWEEN WHEN THE LIGHTS SHOW UP
IN THE SKY

AND THE CATTLE MUTILATIONS?YES.

A LOT OF PEOPLE
CAN'T REALLY COME UP

WITH ANY OTHER EXPLANATION BUT
SOME SORT OF ALIEN ENCOUNTER.

NOW,
WITHOUT DIRECT EVIDENCE,

I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE.

OUR INVESTIGATION
IS NOW COVERING BOTH CARCASSES

ON THE GROUND
AND LIGHTS IN THE SKY.

SO WE SET UP A CALL WITH JOSH
TO GET HIM UP TO SPEED.

HEY, GUYS!
HOW ARE YOU?

HI!
HEY! GOOD.

HOW'S THE INVESTIGATION GOING?

IT'S GOING REALLY GOOD.IT'S GOING GREAT.

WE MANAGED TO CONFIRM

THAT WOLVES HAVE RETURNED
TO THIS AREA.

I MEAN, NO QUESTION OF PACK OF
WOLVES COULD TAKE DOWN A BULL,

BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY ACCOUNT
FOR THE LACK OF BLOOD

OR TRACKS
OR THESE SURGICAL WOUNDS

THAT PEOPLE HAVE SEEN.I'M DOING AN EXPERIMENT.

BASICALLY, WE MANAGED
TO TRACK DOWN A BULL

THAT HAD DIED RECENTLY.

WE GOT SOME CAMERAS ON IT
TO JUST WAIT

AND SEE WHAT NATURE DOES

TO SEE IF IT MATCHES
WHAT THE RANCHERS

HAVE BEEN FINDING
WITH THE MUTILATED CATTLE.

OKAY, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA
AND SUPER GROSS.

SO GROSS.
IF WE COULD GET THAT CAMERA

ANY CLOSER
TO THAT BULL'S BUTT,

IT'S JUST--
OHH, IT'S DISGUSTING.

OHH...
YOU GUYS THOUGHT

THIS WAS GONNA BE
A GLAMOROUS JOB.

NO, THIS ONE'S DEFINITELY...

NOT THAT.

WHAT OTHER LEADS
ARE YOU FOLLOWING?

SO, WE HAVE A LOT OF EYEWITNESSES

THAT REPORT
UNEXPLAINED LIGHTS IN THE AREA.

A LOT OF PEOPLE SUSPECT

THIS MIGHT BE UFOs
OR SOME SORT OF OBJECT

THAT'S UNEXPLAINABLE
THAT ARE COMING IN

AND TAKING CARE OF THESE CATTLE
FOR SOME UNEXPLAINED REASON.

YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK
YOU HAVE TO TUG ON THAT THREAD.

IT IS THE MOST FAMOUS ASSOCIATION

WITH THESE CATTLE MUTILATIONS.

AND TO THAT END, I HAVE SOME
KIND OF EXCITING NEWS, ACTUALLY.

THERE IS A BRAND-NEW REPORT

OF UNIDENTIFIED LIGHTS
IN THE SKY

AND IT TOOK PLACE
OVER A RANCH

JUST OUTSIDE OF BURNS.

THAT'S WHERE
EYE-WITNESS KAINAN

SAID HE SAW
LIGHTS IN THE SKY.

THEY'RE ALSO REPORTING THAT
FIVE CALVES ALSO WENT

MISSING THE SAME NIGHT.

JUST DISAPPEARED? YES.

THAT'S STRANGE. OKAY.

I MEAN, THIS IS
A BIG OPPORTUNITY, RIGHT,

BECAUSE THIS IS HAPPENING
RIGHT NOW.

IF YOU CAN BE THERE WHILE THIS
IS HAPPENING,

YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DOCUMENT
WHAT'S ACTUALLY CAUSING THIS.

AND TO GIVE YOU A HAND,

I'M GONNA SEND YOU
A LITTLE BIT OF BACKUP.

I'M GONNA SEND YOU
THESE GPS TRACKING COLLARS.

YOU CAN FIT THOSE TO CALVES
THAT ARE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW,

AND IT'LL TRACK THEIR VITALS--
THEIR BLOOD PRESSURE,

BODY TEMPERATURE,
HEART RATE, ANY OF THAT STUFF.

SO IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO
STRESS THESE ANIMALS OUT,

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO KNOW ABOUT IT
IN REAL TIME.

WOW.OKAY. THAT SOUNDS PERFECT.

THESE RANCHERS HAVE AGREED
TO LET THE TEAM INVESTIGATE,

BUT THEIR CATTLE ARE PART
OF A FREE-RANGE HEARD

ROAMING ON A 500-SQUARE-MILE
AREA.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE,

SO I'VE ARRANGED A HELICOPTER

SO PHIL AND JESS
CAN GET A BIRD'S-EYE VIEW

AND ANSWER ONE
VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION--

WHERE'S THE BEEF?

HELICOPTER 2-0
TAKING OFF

...

WHOO!

NOW THAT WE'VE LOCATED
THE HERD,

WE RACE TO THE RANCH
WHERE A COUPLE OF COWBOYS

LEAD US ON A TWO-HOUR RIDE
BACK INTO THE FRONTIER

SO WE CAN TAG SOME CATTLE
WITH SOME VERY COOL TECH.

- CHECK IT OUT.
- OH, YEAH.

I SEE THEM.
- WE GOT THEM.

CATTLE AND CALVES.
THIS MUST BE THE SPOT.

ALRIGHT, SO I'VE GOT THE
TRACKING COLLARS IN MY BACKPACK,

SO I THINK WE'RE GOOD TO GO.

IT MIGHT GET KIND OF WILD.
IF THEY START TO TAKE OFF,

YOU MIGHT KIND OF GET AHEAD
OF THEM AND HOLD THEM.

ALRIGHT, WE CAN DO THAT.ALRIGHT, WILL DO.

THE COWHANDS
WILL ROPE THE CALVES,

AND JESS AND I WILL HAVE TO RUSH
IN AND COLLAR THEM.

GOOD SHOT, COWBOY.

THIS IS DANGEROUS WORK.

THIS PROCESS
CAN AGITATE THE HERD

AND LEAD TO A STAMPEDE.

ADULT BULLS CAN RUN UP TO
35 MILES PER HOUR,

AND A COLLISION AT THAT SPEED

GENERATES NEARLY
4 TONS OF FORCE.

SO WE NEED TO MOVE FAST...
- GO, GO, GO!

GO GET A COLLAR ON HER!
- ...AND WATCH OUR BACKS.

YOU GOT HIM?
YEP.

AS WE TAG THESE CALVES,

WE CAN USE THE DATA
FROM THE COLLARS

TO SEE IF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE

IS TARGETING THEM.

WE'LL BE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY

IF THERE'S A RAPID CHANGE
IN THEIR VITALS.

SO HAVING TAGGED THE CALVES,
WE HEAD BACK INTO TOWN.

AT THIS POINT OUR INVESTIGATION,

THERE'S STILL A LOT OF DOTS
THAT NEED CONNECTING.

SO, WE'VE TRACKED DOWN ONE MAN

WHO CLAIMS
TO HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.

CHRIS O'BRIEN--
AUTHOR OF "STALKING THE HERD:

UNRAVELING THE CATTLE
MUTILATION MYSTERY"

IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S FOREMOST
EXPERTS ON THE PHENOMENON.

HE'S INVESTIGATED THOUSANDS
OF CASES

WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT,
EX-MILITARY,

AND RANCHERS FOR 30 YEARS.

HI!
HI, CHRIS!

HEY, GUYS. THANKS FOR MEETING WITH US.

CHRIS BELIEVES HE NOT ONLY KNOWS

WHO'S PILOTING THE MYSTERIOUS CRAFTS

SEEN DURING THESE MUTILATIONS,

BUT ALSO THEIR SHOCKING MOTIVE.

ALRIGHT, SO I'M DYING TO KNOW
THESE THEORIES THAT YOU HAVE

BEHIND THE CATTLE MUTILATIONS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS? WELL, WE'RE DEALING

WITH SOMETHING THAT'S
REALLY SCARY.

AND THE GOVERNMENT
IS INVOLVED.

THE TEAM IS INVESTIGATING
THE RECENT WAVE

OF CATTLE MUTILATIONS
IN EASTERN OREGON,

AND EXPERT CHRIS O'BRIEN
HAS A UNIQUE THEORY

THAT NOT ONLY ACCOUNTS
FOR UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS

REPORTED AROUND
THE TIME OF THESE ATTACKS,

BUT ALSO
A SHOCKING HUMAN AGENDA.

I THINK AT THE CORE
OF THE PHENOMENON,

THERE'S SOMETHING
STRANGE GOING ON.

I THINK THERE'S
A SECRET GOVERNMENTAL GROUP

USING MILITARY TECHNOLOGY HELICOPTERS

AND FLYING AROUND
MUTILATING LIVESTOCK.

WHAT, YOU'RE SAYING
OUR GOVERNMENT IS DOING THIS?

I AM ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED

THAT WE'VE HAD
ALMOST 400 HELICOPTER SIGHTINGS

BY RANCHERS AROUND
MUTILATION SITES.

THAT CAN'T BE AN ACCIDENT.

I GOT TO SAY, THE WHOLE
GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY ANGLE

SOUNDS A LITTLE
JUST CRAZY TO ME.

WHY WOULD THEY WANT
ANYTHING TO DO WITH CATTLE?

I THINK THEY'RE DEATHLY AFRAID
OF RADIATION CONTAMINATION

IN THE GROUNDWATER
AND IN THE FOOD CHAIN.

IF YOU GO DOWNWIND
AND DOWNSTREAM,

WEAPONS ENRICHMENT FACILITIES,
NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS.

THAT'S THE AREAS YOU'LL FIND
WHERE THERE'S

THE HEAVIEST CONCENTRATION

OF CATTLE MUTILATION CASES.

WHILE CHRIS' THEORY
MIGHT SOUND FAR-FETCHED,

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN
MONITORING RADIATION LEVELS

IN CATTLE SINCE THE DAWN
OF THE ATOMIC AGE.

ON JULY 16TH, 1945,

THE UNITED STATES TESTED
THE FIRST ATOMIC BOMB IN HISTORY

AT THE TRINITY TEST SITE
IN NEW MEXICO.

AND JUST FIVE MONTHS LATER,
THE U.S. ARMY

PURCHASED 75 HEAD OF CATTLE

FROM LOCAL RANCHERS
TO STUDY THE EFFECTS

OF RADIATION EXPOSURE
ON THE ANIMALS.

WHY WOULD THE GOVERNMENT
NOT WANT US TO KNOW

ABOUT A RISK TO OUR FOOD SUPPLY?

BECAUSE IT'S
THE BEEF INDUSTRY.

IT'S THE LARGEST INCOME PRODUCER
IN AGRIBUSINESS.

THEY DO NOT WANT PEOPLE

TO QUESTION THE SAFETY OF BEEF.

SO, CHRIS, IF THESE ARE
COVERT OPERATIONS,

WHERE ARE THESE GOVERNMENT
HELICOPTERS COMING FROM?

WELL, I THINK IF YOU LOOK
AT THE AREAS OF HIGH INCIDENTS,

THERE'S ALWAYS SOME SORT OF
GOVERNMENT FACILITY,

A MILITARY BASE NEARBY.

CHRIS' THEORY
IS DEFINITELY INTRIGUING,

AND IT'S OUR JOB
TO PUT IT TO THE TEST.

IF THE RECENT CATTLE MUTILATIONS

ARE THE RESULT OF TOP-SECRET
GOVERNMENT TESTS

ON CONTAMINATED CATTLE,

THERE HAS TO BE A PAPER TRAIL.

AND SINCE THE VITAL SIGNS
ON THE CALVES ARE STILL NORMAL,

WE HEAD TO THE HARNEY
COUNTY LIBRARY

TO POUR THROUGH THE LOCAL
ARCHIVES FOR HOURS,

AND WE GET A HIT.

WE FIND EVIDENCE FROM 2020

THAT RADIOACTIVE WASTE

WAS DUMPED ILLEGALLY
NEAR ARLINGTON, OREGON,

NORTH OF OUR LOCATION.

WOW, THAT'S HUGE.

SUPER RECENT.NOT TOO FAR FROM HERE.

UH-UH.

LOOKING AT A MAP
OF THE WATERSHED,

FROM ARLINGTON, WATER FLOWS
SOUTH RIGHT INTO THIS AREA

AND POSSIBLY
WITH CONTAMINATED WATER.

AND IF THOSE COWS ARE DRINKING
THAT WATER...

THE MORE RADIOACTIVE
THEY BECOME?

ESSENTIALLY, YEAH.

WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME
AT ALL, THEN,

THAT THE GOVERNMENT'S
TRYING TO COVER SOMETHING UP.

I THOUGHT THIS THEORY
WAS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.

AND THE MORE I LOOK INTO IT,
THE MORE I SAY

IT'S NOT QUITE AS CRAZY
AS I THOUGHT IT WAS.

SO WAS THE GOVERNMENT
REALLY WORRIED

ABOUT DEADLY CONTAMINATION
IN THE LIVESTOCK HERE,

AND HAVE THEY USE
STEALTH HELICOPTERS

TO DROP IN UNDETECTED

AND CARVE UP PRIZE BULLS
TO PERFORM OVERT TESTS

TO DETECT
HARMFUL RADIOACTIVITY?

MAYBE IT'S NOT SO CRAZY
AFTER ALL.

TURNS OUT THE RANCHES
WE'VE BEEN INVESTIGATING

AND WHERE UNIDENTIFIED LIGHTS
HAVE BEEN SEEN

HAPPEN TO HAVE
A GOVERNMENT CONNECTION.

JESS, YOU'RE NOT GONNA
BELIEVE THIS.

LOOKING AT THE MAP,
YOU KNOW WHAT'S

FIVE MILES AWAY FROM HERE?

AN ABANDONED AIR FORCE BASE.ARE YOU SERIOUS?

IT'S NO LONGER IN USE,

BUT THAT'S WHAT CHRIS
WAS SAYING

GETS USED FOR, LIKE,

BLACK OPS-Y-TYPE OPERATIONS.YEAH.

I THINK I SHOULD GO CHECK
OUT THE AIR FORCE BASE TONIGHT.

OKAY.
AND I THINK YOU SHOULD

STAY ON THE CATTLE.

KEEP AN EYE
ON THE TRANSMISSION

BECAUSE IF THEY START
GOING WILD,

WE KNOW SOMETHING'S
HAPPENING TONIGHT.

OH, YEAH, FOR SURE.

WHILE JESS HEADS OUT
TO THE RANCH

TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE HERD,

I'M TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS
MILITARY BASE

TO SEE IF I CAN FIND ANY
EVIDENCE OF RECENT ACTIVITY.

WHOA...

SO, ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO
DETECT RECENT MILITARY ACTIVITY

IS ACTUALLY
TO DETECT RADIOACTIVITY.

A LOT OF THE TOP-SECRET
HELICOPTERS

WILL HAVE STRONTIUM
IN THE BLADES

OR OTHER RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS
IN THEIR NIGHT-VISION CAMERAS.

SO, I BROUGHT ALONG
A GEIGER COUNTER,

AND MAYBE WE'LL BE ABLE
TO DETECT SOMETHING

THAT SAYS SOMEONE'S BEEN HERE
AND WE'LL GET A HIT.

THE GPS COORDINATES SENT FROM
THE TRACKING COLLARS INDICATE

THAT THE HERD HAS MOVED CLOSE
TO THE EDGE OF THE RANCH.

SO I'M MONITORING
THEIR VITAL SIGNS

FROM A SAFE DISTANCE
ON AN ACCESS ROAD

THAT BISECTS THE PROPERTY--
NOT TOO CLOSE TO SPOOK THEM

BUT CLOSE ENOUGH TO GET TO THEM
IF I HAVE TO.

IF THERE'S A SPIKE IN PULSE,
RESPIRATION, OR BLOOD PRESSURE,

THAT MEANS THEY'RE STRESSED
BY SOMETHING OR SOMEONE.

AND IF THAT HAPPENS, HOPEFULLY I
CAN GET A LOOK AT WHAT THAT IS.

AND I'M COVERING ALL MY BASES.

SO WHAT I'M DOING RIGHT NOW

IS SETTING UP
AN INDUSTRIAL CAMERA

THAT CAN SEE IN THE INFRARED SPECTRUM.

ANYTHING THAT CROSSES IN FRONT
OF THIS CAMERA,

EVEN IF I CAN'T SEE IT
WITH MY OWN EYES,

WILL BE CAUGHT ON THIS.

OH, LOOK AT UP HERE.
LOOK AT THIS.

THIS ALMOST LOOKS LIKE
A LANDING PAD RIGHT HERE.

ONE...TWO.

THAT, TO ME, LOOKS LIKE
HELICOPTER SKID MARKS...

OR SOME SORT OF CRAFT
LANDED HERE.

ALL THE DUST BLEW AWAY.

OH, WOW.

LISTEN TO THAT.

THIS WHOLE AREA,
WE'RE GETTING HITS.

HERE WE GO. HERE WE GO.

WOW.

THIS IS NOT YOUR NORMAL
BACKGROUND RADIATION.

THIS IS A BIG HIT.

HO...LY...

WAIT, WHAT'S THAT NOISE?

IT'S LIKE A METALLIC SOUND.

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING IN THE SKY.

HOLY !

OH, SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY
FREAKING THEM OUT.

THEIR VITALS
ARE JUST SKYROCKETING.

I WANT TO GET A LITTLE CLOSER.
HOLD ON.

OH, THEY'RE MOVING.
THEY'RE MOVING.
THEY'RE MOVING.

THEY'RE MOVING.

WHOA! WHOA! EASY NOW!

JESS AND PHIL
ARE FOLLOWING A LEAD

ON POTENTIAL TOP-SECRET
GOVERNMENT TESTING ON CATTLE.

LOOK, THERE'S BEEN NO SHORTAGE
OF CONSPIRACY THEORIES

SURROUNDING ALL SORTS OF SECRET
GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS FOR DECADES.

BUT ONCE IN A WHILE,
HISTORY REVEALS

THEY'RE BASED IN TRUTH.

IN 1977,
DOCUMENTS WERE DISCOVERED

THAT REVEALED
THE CIA ACTUALLY FUNDED

A SERIES OF HUMAN
MIND CONTROL EXPERIMENTS

UNDER THE MONIKER "MKUltra."

FIRST APPROVED IN 1953,

MKUltra EXPERIMENTED WITH DRUGS
LIKE LSD

AS WELL AS HYPNOSIS,

ELECTRIC SHOCK,
AND SENSORY DEPRIVATION...

...ALL IN AN ATTEMPT TO DEVELOP
INTERROGATION PROCEDURES

THAT MIGHT, SAY, ENCOURAGE
A CONFESSION

FROM AN OTHERWISE STUBBORN DETAINEE.

WHICH OF COURSE BEGS
THE QUESTION--

WHAT OTHER TOP-SECRET PROJECTS
DON'T WE KNOW ABOUT?

WAIT, WHAT'S THAT NOISE?

THEIR VITALS
ARE JUST SKYROCKETING.

OH, SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY
FREAKING THEM OUT.

I WANT TO GET A LITTLE CLOSER.
HOLD ON.

OH, THEY'RE MOVING.
THEY'RE MOVING.
THEY'RE MOVING.

THEY'RE MOVING.

WHOA! WHOA! EASY NOW!

YOU HEARING THAT?

IT'S LIKE A LOW HUM.

PHIL, ARE YOU THERE?

YEAH, COME IN.

SOMETHING'S FREAKING OUT
THE COWS.

WAIT, WE GOT SOMETHING?

I HEARD A STRANGE NOISE,

THEIR VITAL STARTED SKYROCKETING.

THE CALVES
ARE GOING BERSERK.

THEY ALL TOOK OFF.
I TRIED TO CATCH THEM.

THEY'RE MOVING TOO FAST.

WE GOT SOMETHING.
LET'S GO.

ALRIGHT,
I'M COMING YOUR WAY.

HOPEFULLY, WHATEVER'S
SPOOKING THE CATTLE

ISN'T DANGEROUS OR ARMED.

ALRIGHT, HERE.

- OH! DID YOU SEE THAT?!
- OH!

OH, LOOK AT THAT!OH...MY...GOSH.

HOLY CRAP!

LOOK...
OH, LOOK AT IT TURN!

WHAT-- IT JUST STOPPED
AND MOVED!

IS THAT A SATELLITE?

I MEAN, A SATELLITE
CAN'T TURN LIKE THAT.

I DID NOT SEE THAT
WHILE I WAS OUT THERE AT ALL.

I'M BLOWN AWAY.

WE BOTH HEAR A STRANGE HUMMING
SOUND FROM DIFFERENT LOCATIONS,

CATTLE ARE RUNNING
FOR THEIR LIVES,

AND NOW WE HAVE A CONFIRMED
UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT IN THE SKY.

DID WE JUST FILM
WHAT'S RESPONSIBLE

FOR THESE CATTLE MUTILATIONS?

WE'VE GOT IT RECORDED.

THAT IS UNDENIABLE.

WE GOT SOMETHING RECORDED.

I MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE
SOMETHING IN THE SKY

SPOOKED THE CATTLE,

BUT WE HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT THAT IS.

THERE'S NO DOUBT JESS
CAUGHT SOMETHING ON CAMERA,

BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
TO SAY WHAT IT IS,

AND I'M NOT GIVING UP
ON MOTHER NATURE JUST YET.

A COUPLE DAYS AGO, WE SET UP
A SERIES OF TIME-LAPSE CAMERAS

ON A DECOMPOSING BULL.

OKAY.
ALRIGHT.

READY FOR THIS?YES.

ALRIGHT, SO, THIS IS FROM
THE FRONT CAMERA.

IF I'M RIGHT, A COMBINATION
OF SCAVENGERS, INSECTS,

AND NATURAL DECOMPOSITION

MAY HAVE PRODUCED SIMILAR
ANOMALOUS WOUNDS

ON OUR DEAD BULL

JUST LIKE AT COLBY'S RANCH.

LOOK AT THOSE FLIES!

WOW.
THAT IS GROSS!

WHAT I'M SEEING HERE IS THAT IT
ACTUALLY DOESN'T LOOK LIKE

THE IMAGES
OF THE MUTILATED CATTLE.

LIKE, NOT EVEN CLOSE.

I GOT TO ADMIT, THIS ISN'T
THE RESULT I WAS HOPING FOR

SO YOU
DON'T THINK IT'S NATURAL?

YOU THINK
IT'S SOMETHING ELSE.

I GOT TO FOLLOW WHERE
THE EVIDENCE LEADS US.

IT'S SAYING THAT SOMETHING ELSE
IS GOING ON HERE.

THE WHOLE GOVERNMENT
CONSPIRACY THING

SOUNDS PRETTY CRAZY TO ME,

BUT WHAT I DON'T KNOW
IS HOW ANYBODY ELSE

HAS THE RESOURCES
TO PULL OFF

TAKING DOWN FIVE BULLS
IN THIS WAY

AND DOING IT
WITHOUT ANYBODY FINDING OUT.

I'M FULLY
BUYING INTO CHRIS' THEORY.

I THINK THIS IS
THE GOVERNMENT DOING IT

TO KEEP TABS ON
THE FOOD SUPPLY.

THE RECENT EVENTS
IN EASTERN OREGON

HAVE RE-IGNITED ONE OF
AMERICA'S MOST HEAD-SCRATCHING

AND GRUESOME MYSTERIES.

BUT AFTER PHIL AND JESS'
INVESTIGATION,

A MORE COMPLETE PICTURE
OF WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON HERE

IS COMING INTO FOCUS.

FIRST, PHIL MADE
A SIGNIFICANT DISCOVERY

THAT WOLVES HAVE RETURNED
TO THE AREA.

PACKS HAVE BEEN KNOWN
TO TARGET AND KILL CATTLE

AND ARE UNDOUBTEDLY RESPONSIBLE
FOR SOME OF THE ATTACKS,

BUT OTHER MUTILATED CATTLE
DO NOT SHOW SIGNS

OF HAVING BEEN TAKEN DOWN
BY LARGE PREDATORS.

A CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT
INDICATED THAT INSECTS

AND NATURAL DECOMPOSITION
CAN LOOK UNUSUAL

BUT IT DID NOT PRODUCE
THE SAME SURGICAL WOUNDS

SEEN IN MANY CASES.

AND WHILE LOCAL RANCHERS BELIEVE
THAT CULT ACTIVITY

MAY BE TO BLAME, THE TEAM
FOUND NO DEFINITIVE EVIDENCE

BETWEEN THESE INCIDENTS AND
UNIDENTIFIED LIGHTS IN THE SKY.

ARE THERE REALLY
STEALTH HELICOPTERS--

PART OF SOME SHADOWY
GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY--

OR SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY?

AT THIS POINT, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
TO SAY FOR SURE.

FOR NOW, RANCHERS WILL KEEP A
WATCHFUL EYE ON THEIR CATTLE,

AND RESIDENTS WILL KEEP LOOKING
TO THE SKIES.

WITH TRAIL CAMERAS STILL
DEPLOYED ACROSS THE RANCH,

IN TIME, WE MAY JUST CAPTURE
DEFINITIVE PROOF

AND CLOSE THE CASE
ONCE AND FOR ALL.
