ELSBERRY, MISSOURI CATTLE MUTILATIONS (1978)

Ron Barbour investigates Elsberry Missouri's rash of cattle mutilations and UFOs in 1978.

I know several people that have seen UFOs in Lincoln County, myself included. I saw one near Clarence Cannon after a school dance in '93 or '94, along with three other witnesses. Years later I saw a television show about law enforcement and military personnel who have seen unexplained things, and several police officers in Illinois, right across the river from Elsberry, described seeing the same thing we did as kids. My sister and cousin also experienced some strangeness along the old river road near St. Charles/St Peters, and my mother and I saw a cluster of crafts in St. Louis County doing maneuvers that weren't possible in military craft at the time. I absolutely believe that some ET shenanigans were/are going down. Even as a kid, I knew the difference between military planes and something that... wasn't.

Count me in. My parents, two neighbors, and I saw them up close in '94. We saw triangular formations, objects shoot clear across the sky while skipping like stones, and a small yellow-green 1' long cylinder float over our heads about 10' up "scan" us in a perfect U pattern. The woods lit up a pink-orange color at one point. I have had recurring nightmares since '94. My wife and I saw them again in '96 up close on I-70 around Wentzville while driving. A red orb floating up the median bouncing like a ball, around 4' in diameter, and shot off after we passed it. There were other witnesses pulled over watching. Much more happened, but that's all I'm willing to put out in public.

I saw a red orb right in front of me and my dad in the early 2ks. All the animals in the area were "going crazy" (according to my family and freinds waiting for our return) and we had time we couldn't account for.

[@KT-cz7rm]

It was about 15ft in front of us and the same height off the dirt road.

[@MyNomDePlume]

@@KT-cz7rm My wife and I saw the red orb in '96 on I-70 somewhere between Wentzville and High Hill MO. It was about 8' away, bouncing up and down the median, then shot off. Around 4' round, glowing red. A school bus with kids was pulled over watching. There were white discs floating from SW to NE, no noise.

or meteor landed contaminated some areas

[@deadahead8701]

Holy shit.

[@J1E2TS]

This is the funniest news story from this area I've ever seen, I was damn near in tears laughing so hard. This is the most absurd piece I've ever seen.

[@f.friedrichkling-hauss3807]

Hey, you are talking about good Middlewestern Americans who worked and sacrificed to make this country what it is today.

[@D.Lee.W]

What is so funny? Maybe you don't believe the UFO sighting , but mutilated cattle is evidence that can't be disputed. How they were mutilated can be debated.

[@spindrift1047]

@Disco Sucks I was also a teenager at this time. In approx 1976 -1978 animal mutilations, cows or horses, I don't remember, happened south of here in North Texas. In the past 4 or 5 years there was one in Calera, Ok.

[@KT-cz7rm]

Even if it was fake. You'd have to have a strange, inhuman sense of humor to think this was hilarious. No matter how much you wish it was fake this has been happening for centuriees.

[@brycefbarnes]

WTF is wrong with you? Why would this be funny?

[@smokescreen3670]

it was probably related too the fault line and water like winter pine oil enters springs feed creeks and such high water stages underground

[@f.friedrichkling-hauss3807]

+smokescreen36 Oh I see..... so the local farmers/ranchers, news media, and local law enforcement should ignore the evidence staring them in the face. Instead investigate Winter Pine oil and meteors-- I presume you are joking.

[@ContentMadame]

Winter pine oil peels skin with precision and cores out their genitals? Damn, those must be some demon trees! Lol

[@caroljean8861]

I remember this. We lived near Elsberry at the time. I think it was a hoax.

[@floydj327]

I used to hang around Foley at that time.

[@f.friedrichkling-hauss3807]

+Carol Siefker A hoax? Yeah, I suppose the ranchers killed their own cattle by coring out the rectum, removing the sexual organs, the lips, the eyes, and to top it off planted a fungus never before seen outside a lab to perpetrate a hoax.

[@jukelix1430]

It happened I had one of the properties with the cows u bitch
