Global Cattle Mutilation / Mantis Beings

About the show

In the first half, guest host George Knapp spoke with veteran police detective Brian Fitzpatrick about his investigation into decades of reported animal mutilations, most of them involving cattle. Drawing on case files, veterinary findings, and forensic reasoning, Fitzpatrick argued that a subset of these incidents cannot be explained by predators, conventional human activity, or known technology. He said the 1967 mutilation of a Colorado mare named Lady launched his research. According to Fitzpatrick, a veterinarian found tissue around the animal's wounds that appeared "cooked and not burned," requiring extreme heat. Fitzpatrick insisted the surgical laser technology that might have produced such results "didn't exist in practical form until the 1990s," long after the case.

Fitzpatrick identified recurring reports of precise tissue removal, missing blood, absent tracks, and no apparent signs of struggle. "A predator kill is very different than what this is," he stated. "This is surgical." He contrasted certain cattle scenes with homicide investigations, noting that a large mammal should contain substantial blood, yet many reported mutilation sites show none. "Blood makes a mess," he asserted. "When you have that much blood in an animal… it's got to be some sort of tool that is sucking the blood out."

He also explored reports suggesting animals may have been removed and returned by aerial means. His working theory focused on the possibility that cattle are being used to monitor environmental contamination, particularly radiation. He noted that commonly removed tissue—such as glands, tongues, reproductive organs, and jaw tissue—could provide evidence of diet, toxins, heavy metals, and radiation exposure. "It is the ideal animal for monitoring the human food chain globally," he commented. "What is doing this? I have no idea, and that's the million-dollar question."

In the second half, professor David Luke, Ph.D. discussed reports of encounters with mantis-like beings, particularly during DMT and ayahuasca experiences but also in dreams, sleep paralysis, meditation, near-death states, and childhood. Luke revealed his research grew from repeated accounts of people seeing giant praying mantises, sometimes performing apparent "operations" or communicating telepathically. He recalled that experiencers were often unsettled to learn their reports resembled those of strangers. "These accounts just kept stacking up," Luke said, noting that reports extended beyond drug-induced states and overlapped loosely with alien-abduction narratives.

Luke described DMT entity encounters as widespread and often life-altering. "Somewhere between 50 and 90 percent of people who take a high dose of DMT will have an encounter experience," he claimed, adding that most consider the beings "real in some sense and self-existent" even after the experience ends. He cited survey data showing that more than half of self-identified atheists abandoned atheism following a high-dose DMT entity encounter.

Regarding the mantis phenomenon specifically, Luke noted the preliminary data suggest highly positive outcomes. "There's a very small number of people saying it had a negative impact on them, and the overwhelming majority are saying it had a positive, sometimes very positive effect on their lives," he insisted. Communication with the beings, when it occurs, tends to be nonverbal. "It seems to be a kind of direct communication, so they're speaking kind of telepathically," he commented. According to Luke, his research aims "to understand the limits and the nature of human experience and what that says about the nature of reality."
