THE NIGHT SEARCH - Night Search Paranormal Network

There was minor damage on some of the tissue from scavenging
or predatory animals. Charlie could understand how the previous
investigators thought it might have been the work of predators, but it
still didn’t add up. He told the farmer that the incision looked like it had
been made by a straight edge of some kind, and that he should have a
veterinarian look at it. He took Charlie’s advice and called Dr. Creel in
Boaz, and the Vet came out and examined the carcass.
Dr. Creel agreed and said, “I don’t know what killed it, but animals
were not involved in it’s death.” Dr. Creel stuck to his guns and never
flip flopped. He was the exception to the rule.
By mid-February, these cases were the talk of police in both Marshall
& DeKalb Counties. At month’s end, Charlie had filled out 12 reports
covering 14 strange livestock deaths. Even without considering the
sinister agencies causing them, the crimes by themselves were very
disturbing. Large animals had been incapacitated and vivisected in
plain view of ranch houses and farms. One was even found outside a
bedroom window. Nobody heard anything except barking dogs at 3
a.m., which were ignored. Then came the grizzly discoveries.
While 90% of the farmers reported seeing helicopters before or after
their animals were found dead, no one saw them at the critical time.
This made Charlie wonder, until he got a call from local gun dealer
and pilot, Clyde Barksdale. He told Charlie that the previous evening
he arrived home and was walking around his house when he looked
up and saw a helicopter flying only two hundred feet above him.
He said it was almost silent. Clyde is also a helicopter pilot, and he
couldn’t understand why it only made a faint sound. “Whisssp whisssp,
whisssp,” he imitated the chopper’s sound. “I couldn’t believe it,” he
explained. A silent helicopter. A silent helicopter?
The Silencing of Sgt. Ron Ogletree.
One evening in late February when Charlie was on duty in Fyffe,
Charlie met with Alabama State Trooper Ron Ogletree, who was post
commander in Gadsden. Ron and he had been working together on the
livestock cases for four months together. He explained that his boss in
Montgomery had instructed him to cease interviews with the media.
“No more talk about Cattle Mutilations, no more talk about UFOs,
you’re out of the business.” Ron just took it in stride. He never spoke to
the media again. Charlie took it in stride too. Then it happened again.
The Silencing of Chief of Detectives Tommy Cole.
It was about a month later when the Boston Globe came to Sand
Mountain to interview Tommy Cole and Charlie . Charlie finished the
interview and drove with the reporter to Albertville, where we were
scheduled to meet Tommy. When they arrived Charlie went into the
Albertville Police Department, but was denied entry.
Tommy Cole came out the back door and took him aside, away from
the reporter. He wanted to talk privately. “Charlie, I can’t talk to this
guy, I’m sorry. I’ve been told not to talk about it any more.” He looked
irritated but resigned to the fact that he wasn’t allowed to talk to the
media. Charlie walked back to the Globe reporter and explained that
the Chief of Detectives had been ordered to keep his mouth shut. He
looked at him suspiciously, but accepted it, and gave Charlie a ride
back to Fyffe.
Snow Job. The Silencing of the entire Law Enforcement Community.
A special, secret briefing was organized and police officers and deputies
from both counties were invited. Every police department, that is,
except Fyffe. DeKalb County Chief Of Detectives Mike James ( A
direct descendent of Frank and Jesse James) and his drinking buddy,
Tom Price from the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department, started
the briefing and introduced David Pratt, a jewelry salesman from
Chattanooga, Tennessee. They described him as a man who had been
involved in so-called “cattle mutilations” while a member of a secret,
well funded “Satanic Cult.”
Pratt outlined how the “cult” he was once a “member” of was
responsible for the mutilations, and that they had backing that covered
the expense of using helicopters to retrieve bovine organs for “their
rituals.” Pratt also proclaimed that his former cult “loved the publicity”
and embarrassing local authorities.
Every cop present “bought” this story, except Tommy Cole. Even
Sgt. Ogletree believed this con artist. Tommy Cole later told Charlie,
“That guy didn’t impress me in the least. It’s obvious why they didn’t
want you there, they said you were intentionally not invited” Charlie
could have challenged this guy and he couldn’t have held up under
his questioning. That’s why he was kept out of it. The briefing was
concluded with Detectives James and Price explaining that “These
Satanist love the publicity, and if we ignore them, they’ll stop what
they’re doing and go away.” The assembled officers concurred. Fools.
Charlie looked over all the police reports and photographs, he realized
that all of the female cows had calved (given Birth) two weeks prior to
being mutilated. One was in childbirth when it was mutilated
In 1993, Charlie got a call from a man who owned a small landing
field, told him that if he went to his landing fielda certain evening, he
would see several helicopters land and refuel. He was right. Well after
dark, two Chinook helicopters (The large twin rotor type) landed in the
field behind some trees and opened their doors revealing large black
plastic fuel bladders. Minutes later several smaller scout helicopters
landed nearby, shut down and crews from the Chinooks walked over
with large hoses and refueled each of a half dozen helicopters. The
whole operation took less than 30 minutes and the helicopters took off
and headed across the border
where they were tracked to their home base, Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
Now They knew who they were but they couldn’t figure out why they
refueled on Sand Mountain. The landing strip’s Owner Waylon Lyons
explained he was told that they “didn’t want to have to go through
the tower at Redstone Arsenal”. The next morning a reporter, Steven
Smith from the Rainsville Weekly Post, called the Public Affairs
Officer, Major William Gibbons of the 101st Airborne and asked if they
might’ve been in the area the previous evening. “We have no aircraft
in your area, it wasn’t us” said the captain. It certainly was. So Charlie
knew then that some kind of secret operation was being conducted,
but he didn’t know what it was. He still doesn’t, but when you look at
each piece of evidence and try to use them as puzzle pieces, these so
called “cattle mutilations” might be associated with government studies
of epidemiology. With BSE & CJD being such devastating “new”
diseases, is it possible than many alleged cases of “cattle mutilations”
are actually evidence of our tax dollars at work? Charlie read a book
“Deadly Feast”
