Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth – A CALF-NAPPING
On rare occasions, animals — particularly cattle — are said to have been levitated towards a hovering UFO, prior to being mutilated. Though no UFOs were seen at the time of the following incident, and the fate of the animal is unknown, it was observed rising inexplicably into the sky. The incident is believed to have occurred at the end of October 1970, on the Palma Velha ranch, about 18 kilometres from the town of Alegrete, in the First District of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil At about 16.00, Pedro Trajano Machado and his 23-year-old son, Euripides, were carrying out veterinary treatment on some cattle, and had just picked one Jersey cow which had a one-month-old calf with her, weighing about 20 kilograms.
he cow was tied up but the calf was loose, about five metres away from its mother. Suddenly, the cattle became disturbed; the tethered cow began to low, constantly turning to look at her calf. As Pedro turned to look at the calf, which was also bellowing, he could not believe his eyes: . . . the animal was hanging in the air, at about one metre above the ground, and otherwise in the normal posture (i.e. with its feet pointing downwards). [Pedro] shouted to his son to look, and both were now able to watch as . . . the calf began to move away parallel to the ground, still at a height of about one metre, in the same position as before, and bellowing as it headed towards the open fields . . .
While the rest of the cattle were bellowing and lowing and churning about in evident fear, the calf was now moving towards the barred gate in the fence, which was open. Then it passed beneath the branches of some trees, towards the northeast, until it was now about 20 metres from its mother . . . still about one metre above the ground. But now it began to move slowly upwards, still with its feet pointing down. It had stopped bellowing now. According to the two witnesses, this slow vertical ascent lasted for about three or four minutes until, while still far below the cloud-ceiling, the calf became invisible.
The calf was never found. Investigations were conducted by a team from the independent group GIPOVNI, headed by Victor Soares. They found the witnesses to be thoroughly credible; not likely to have invented such an unlikely tale. Although no UFOs were seen at the time, the Machados remarked that on a number of nights — including the date of the incident — they had seen ‘red lights, coming on and going out’; ‘stars’ in the sky, moving about and stopping, ‘doing somersaults in the sky, either separately or in groups of three’
