Summary

Linda Howe is a cattle mutilation expert investigating the death of a cow on a ranch in Farnham, Nebraska. She observes the cow's body, noting it shows signs of a precise mutilation without typical predator activity. Howe documents the scene and discusses theories about extraterrestrial involvement, suggesting aliens might be harvesting cattle for genetic research. Despite her findings, some experts argue that the similarities between human and bovine DNA are overstated. The investigation reveals no clear evidence of human or alien involvement in the mutilations. Howe's work raises questions about the unexplained phenomena, but the impact on her remains focused on seeking answers and understanding the mystery.
