For quite some time now , we ’ve love that UFOs tend to whisk away the great unwashed and return them to Earth with amazing stories . But there are plenty of stories of alien snatch cows . While the thought of foreign abduction of humans can be dire , we seem to have embraced the estimation of UFOs carrying off our cows . perchance it ’s a case of reassuring ourselves that there are alternate victims .
unknown from outer space were blamed fora muckle of moo-cow mutilation in the 1970s . Since then , it seems that alien are more careful not to leave grounds of cow abduction . Maybe they ’ve learned how tasty beef is . But in 2009,rancher Mike Duranin Colorado find out unusual lights in the sky before find one of his cow dead . Duran said it was a repeat of an incident from 1995 . Derek Bridges reported seeinga American bison being beamed up into a spacecraftin 2009 in Basingstoke , Hampshire , England . A nearby farm has imported bison , but the husbandman said no stock was lose . However , Bridges recorded video of the incident , in which you may see lights , but not much else . Farmers elsewhere say that moo-cow are n’t the only livestock rile by aliens . They’ll take sheepif no cows are uncommitted . paradigm by Flickr userTheron LaBounty .
This video has been around for quite some fourth dimension , but its provenance is shroud in mystery .

So it has become coarse knowledge that visitor from other planets really , really want our cows . Some theorize that cows themselvesoriginated from somewhere outside the planet Earth . figure by Flickr userelectricnerve .
Others posit that cow are space travelers and have a distinct affinity for our Sun Myung Moon . Cosmocowsholds that traveling space cows are the only logical account for our moonlight being made of cheese , and that kine have longed for their lunar home so much that they call out for it … but have a job pronouncing it aright . This hypothesis also explains the greenhouse rhyme about the cow jump over the moon .
The ultimate generator for data about this phenomenon isCow Abductions , from the fine folks at the California Milk Processing Board . They interviewed farmers about the alien job .
I rejoiced to find a blog namedFlying Cow Observatory Blog , then was frustrated to NOT find any fly cows in it ! This is a blog devote to astronomy and astrophotography , but the name is a open homage to the many cow abduction write up . There arevideo gamesabout cow abduction as well .
Alien cow abduction has so ingrained itself in our pop culture awareness , we are nonimmune to see it referenced anywhere . This British channel designation was produced by animatorCyriak Harris , whoonce said ,
Cyriak made a longer animation about cows abducted by alien , calledMoo!that may be a bit disturbing for sensitive viewers , uproarious for others .
It has become a common art subject as well . This image is from DeviantART memberAtelierLambert .

But the real question is : WHY are extraterrestrials so obsessed with cattle ? No matter how many picture show we ’ve picture , we still ca n’t assume that alien conceive the way we do . But I have a theory . It seduce sense that intelligent foreign life forms would take care for the most successful species on another major planet . We know that dirt ball and microbe are more " successful " than man by act alone , but they are too little to see , at least from a spacecraft . But an discernible coinage that flourished in large numbers would for certain drag stake . Below is a single-valued function of the U.S. bear witness human universe statistical distribution , fromPopulation Labs .
As you’re able to see , there are a lot of hoi polloi , but the big numbers lean to clop in small areas , mainly along the east and west coast . equate that to the 2002 distribution mathematical function of cattle in the U.S.from the USDA .
Cattle are spread all over immense area of the country ! Yeah , sure , there are only100 millionhead of oxen in the land , and over 300 million people , but on any given Clarence Day , most of those people areinsideand out of view . Is it any wonder that exotic adventurer would take over that they are the alpha species on earth ? It makes perfect sense .
