Um, and I'm gonna say there

At first they thought it was

the predators were leaving

Apparently, the predators were

- When these cattle were found,
of human activity around them?
Did you see marks of any sort?
- No. There was no footprints,
There was tripod marks on the
all they found around the cows.
And also they would find
like broken ribs
which meant it was
- So you're suggesting that
and lifted up the cows and
- Yes. And that's what brought
it was aliens and UFOs.
- Has anyone ever reported
lifted up and flown around?
- No, I actually haven't,
of the night most of the time.
- Do you believe that the
to what was supposedly happening
at that time?
- Yes, I do and a lot of people
- The one thing that really
mutilations are occuring,
unexplained lights in the sky?
That's the big question
What are these lights and
- To back up his claims about
Avery has offered
to one of the original
- I have a gentleman here.
He's worked with my father
And also, he has some
on the underground base
Uh, his name's Hoyt Velarde.
- Hoyt, what was the time period
took place?
- I'd say the early 60s
We investigated over 200 head.
Like this one here, this cow
These things are evidence

- Who do you think is
for these mutilations?
- Well, the first thing that
looking at the skies because
Somebody said they

summer day, horses are walking.
It was hot, so everything's
And all of a sudden they hear
and they jump as they're
Before they turned,
They went back and found a
- What was the condition
- The cow was mutilated,
They didn't see anything, but
- Normally when you go into an
a thread somewhere you can pull
And that's just not
It's pretty bizarre.
- Journalist Greg Bishop

cattle mutilations,
of a government cover-up.
- So thank you so much
We have a lot of questions
- It seemed to be northwestern
was where it was concentrated
Senator Harrison Schmitt was
all that from ranchers saying,
We don't know why.
- Are you aware of any
cattle mutilations?
- Well, the similarities
what is found is unexplainable
Predators don't leave
Predators don't leave surgical
Predators don't go in and take
without leaving any obvious
The funny thing is when the FBI
the mutilations stopped during
And then when they finished it,
So somebody knew something

I believe there was
I don't know what it was for.
The craziest thing I could think

James Bondian-type speculation.
- Is there anyone else who might

is connected to aliens?
- Have you thought of talking
He was an Air Force intel agent
Talk to Doty yourself and
- I was really glad that
I felt like he had a lot to
he talked to Richard Doty
- Yeah, I really hope that we
- I'll reach out and
- Okay.
- We've come to the National

- This is the oldest bomber
- Richard Doty was an

His critics say he deliberately

You worked for the Air Force
Special Investigation
- Yes. I conducted
counter-espionage operations
to fool our adversaries

- How does the cattle
fit into all of this?
- It didn't just involve cattle.
It involved game, elk, deer,
- We've spoke with a lot of
their cattle having what looks

- That sounds like the
the government was doing.
We, the government, took these
to another location,

The United States government was
to determine how much nuclear
And this was done primarily in
and even into the 90s,

- What's the point
- To keep the public

- Are there any other reasons
besides national security?
- Yes. To hide a
For instance, if somebody was

On the other hand, if they saw

So it works both ways.
- As far as you know,
about extraterrestrials?
- It goes back to 1947,
There was two crashes.
The second craft landed in
Nobody wanted to believe them
that one live ET was found
- The ET was taken
- No. The ET was taken
- How many dead ETs
- Five.
- Can we assume then that

We can deduce from the fact
that our government was

about their technology,

camera while I was at Area 51.
- Really?
- So you've seen

The agent that was sitting
at a closed-circuit
Now this is 1980s, you remember.
I said, what are we looking at?
He said, they're interviewing
Now, what I saw was a gray ET,
There was a man next to him.
They were communicating
I wasn't supposed to see it,
- To your knowledge,

- Yes. When I was in Area 51,
It was doing things that we
And I was briefed in 1984
with five different alien races.
We had some kind of technology
- Talking with Richard Doty is a
he's infiltrated UFO circles
but yet he worked at Area 51
with the government during
strange occurrences.
- When you first hear the story

- Yes. I think he tapped
Is there a base down there?
I was never down there.
I never read anything about

We never did performed any kind

- We both know from serving
that the military keeps secrets

Something like this,
how hard is it to keep a secret
- Sometimes things don't even go
even go past the officer's club.
Sometimes it makes it up
sometimes division,
So yes, can we keep secrets?
I think, there's no one like the

- Heather and I are meeting

- Now if we're looking at a

What are the differences between

It's like over a billion

With the exception that unless

- Well, that's where they messed

They hook cattle up to
