So I've always been interested in them.

And I think...

So I went to graduate school in 1988.

I grew up in Wisconsin, and I moved out to Montana to go to graduate school at Montana State University in Bozeman.

And our first week or two there, I had just moved there, and there was a cattle mutilation.

where two cows were killed and surgically manipulated.

I don't have a good word for what happened to them.

The blood was drained.

The blood was drained.

The sensory organs removed, the genitals removed.

One of them had like a core sample.

It had this cylindrical hole punched through it.

Just bizarre.

I mean, really bizarre.

And the people on the news were crazed about this, right?

Oh my God, there's, you know, these two cows on this ranch were killed and

There were UFO reports in the county that night, hundreds of reports.

And so the two stories were that it was either aliens or Satanists.

And everybody's all got their undies in a bundle over this, right?

And so we're at the physics department, and some of us grad students are talking about this.
