Documents / FOIA release
This Federal Bureau of Investigation file on cattle mutilation collects correspondence and memos from 1974 to 1976. Senators Carl T. Curtis and Floyd K. Haskell asked the FBI to investigate livestock mutilations in Nebraska, Colorado and other states. Director Clarence M. Kelley replied that no Federal law within FBI jurisdiction had been violated, since there was no interstate transportation. The file also includes news clippings on UFO and helicopter reports, and a Fish and Wildlife Service view that the injuries are consistent with scavengers.
