The mystery of cattle mutilations continues to baffle even the most seasoned researchers, with no clear answers despite decades of investigation. While some high-profile cases grab the headlines, it’s often the lesser-known incidents that reveal the strangest and most telling patterns. In this episode, we head to a remote farm in North Dakota to examine a chilling series of events that may be one of the most compelling links between UFO activity and humanoid mutilators. Reports include strange aerial lights, triangle-shaped craft emitting bendable beams, scorched livestock, and a teenage eyewitness who claims to have confronted—and shot—an entity in a gleaming metallic suit. We also revisit the eerie recurrence of silver-suited beings in both modern UFO lore and folkloric accounts, and uncover one of the wildest mutilation stories we’ve ever heard. Then for our Plus+ members, we dive into the surreal world of fictional incursions. What happens when characters imagined by authors begin to appear in real life? Drawing on Joshua Cutchin’s latest work, we explore thoughtform manifestations, haunted writers, and creative entities that may have minds of their own.
