How Jacques Vallée Helped Create the Myth that Space Aliens Mutilate Cattle


Quote:Today, we’re going to take a look at how Jacques Vallée helped to invent the myth that flying saucers were mutilating cattle. It’s a sad, dumb story, and the short form is: He put it in a movie, so the public believed it because they saw it on screen.

How Jacques Vallée Helped Create the Myth that Space Aliens Mutilate Cattle

Well, all i can say is, bullshit.
This reads like a gossip  column.
LOL. Debunk cattle mutilations in 1666 words. Good luck. And not a single mention of Linda Howe until the comments.
Is anyone really familiar with Colavito? Is he a dunce?

I rely on him, Robert Sheaffer and Jack Brewer for no-nonsense commentary on UFOs and related subjects. Colavito seems to be the most hardcore of the bunch, and can be a bit sarcastic with his skepticism. However, I still appreciate what he's done to debunk ancient aliens and the authors who persist in recycling what I regard as nonsense about them.
Let’s just stay that article doesn’t make look me favourably upon him though.
