Why do ufos abduct cows

The government is certainly a possibility. Some of my fellow researchers believe the government tests classified laser weapons on random herds of Angus. The government could easily purchase its own animals given its massive military budget and test the weapons within the privacy of the Dulce Base, or some other classified site out here in the Southwest where they conceal their dirtiest deeds.

But what do they want with our cows? Do they take them back to their ships for further analysis, or to pair with fried calamari? And really, this has been going on for decades. How many cows does an ET need to study before graduating from bovine university?

We all know that ancient humans performed animal sacrifice to appease their gods. What if they were extraterrestrial visitors, just looking for a Double-Double? So tomorrow, say, our ET visitors return and, finding no fresh sacrifice, they must perform their own. What they really want is meat on the propane altar of the grill. I have a message for the aliens, which I will be sending telepathically in addition to writing here: I understand. Cows are the most delicious things in the universe.

Andrew Abeyta, professor of psychology at Rutgers University, co-authored We Are Not Alone , a study into why some of us want to believe in aliens. Abeyta explains that belief in aliens is akin to religiosity: unfounded beliefs in unfalsifiable ideas, which require a leap of faith.

I tell Abeyta about an interview I carried out with a young man in Florida. The man, who did not want to be named, described an ambiguous close encounter that took place during his sleep. That feeling of specialness plays an important role in these stories. Still, the topic of alien encounters remains sensitive. I discovered just how sensitive when author Whitley Strieber, who some claim was abducted by non-humans in , terminated our call after learning that I had not read his books.

The whole point of my work is to describe what happened to me and attempt to understand what it was. That is not my position. After I got off on the wrong foot with Strieber, though, he did come back and introduce me to highly decorated former US navy cryptologist Matthew Roberts. Now retired from the military, Roberts is unmoved by the debunkers. Mick West, a science writer and video game programmer turned conspiracy-theory debunker, offers his own, more down-to-earth explanations for the objects: arguing that mundane things — tech glitches, camera glare, balloons and birds — are more likely than aliens.

I ask Roberts about a theory put forward by West that the Gimbal object was glare caused by a nearby aircraft. Has it been hijacked? If something is unidentified, it absolutely has to be identified immediately. A one-of-a-kind mini Pope Francis bobblehead!

So it has become common knowledge that visitors from other planets really, really want our cows. Some theorize that cows themselves originated from somewhere outside the planet Earth. Image by Flickr user electricnerve. Others posit that cows are space travelers and have a distinct affinity for our moon. Cosmocows holds that traveling space cows are the only logical explanation for our moon being made of cheese, and that cows have longed for their lunar home so much that they call out for it This theory also explains the nursery rhyme about the cow jumping over the moon.

The ultimate source for information about this phenomenon is Cow Abductions , from the fine folks at the California Milk Processing Board. They interviewed farmers about the alien problem.

This is a blog dedicated to astronomy and astrophotography, but the name is a clear homage to the many cow abduction stories. There are video games about cow abduction as well. Alien cow abduction has so ingrained itself in our pop culture consciousness, we are liable to see it referenced anywhere.

This British channel identification was produced by animator Cyriak Harris , who once said ,. Cows are always getting themselves abducted by UFOs, thats just the plain truth.
