They also appear to be aligned with ley lines. Crop circle formation is similar to alleged UFO landing site reports where a circular swirling pattern is formed in grass, the grass remains unharmed, and is in inaccessible locations for vehicles. This global phenomena has baffled nearly everyone involved. Most commonly, mutilated animals are cattle, but horses, goats, even deer and house-hold pets have been found dead with one or both eyes, tongue, genitals, anus, ears, utter, patches of skin, or other soft tissues removed. In most cases, the animal is completely drained of blood, with only a few drops or none at all located around the carcass.
Organs are sometimes liquefied, and dead flies are found on the body.
In naturally occurring deaths, other animals are not bothered by the dead body, and scavengers would gather around it and eat it. There are no tracks around or near the carcass, even when the ground was soft after rain. Also, the wounds appear to be cauterized, suggesting the use of high-heat instruments. The problem with this theory is that the mutilations are too wide-spread, span 30 years, and would require a large amount of resources to execute. However, the way in which the animal died is inconsistent with how a predator would kill it.
