A farming couple in Australia are pointing their fingers at aliens after having multiple cows mutilated in the most bizarre way.
Judy and Mick Cook were shocked when they discovered one of their cattle had been attacked back in 2018.
They work on a remote central Queensland property and found the animal had had its udders, ears and tongues removed with incredible precision.
There was no blood on the ground and yet these body parts were hacked off without Judy or Mick noticing.

Mick told ABC News at the time: "It was like it had been surgically removed, I certainly couldn't do as neat a job with a very sharp knife, and it definitely wasn't an animal.
"I thought at first it might have been poisoned, but then I got closer...I saw the body parts missing, there was no blood, even where the parts had been removed, no sign of struggle, just dead."
"There was just no reason or rhyme for it to be done the way it was done, people don't use those parts, it's just not something you would wish on your worst enemy."

In the time since that grisly discovery, they say around 20 cows have been found dead in the same way.
“How is it happening? It must have something that lifts it up and puts it down and doesn’t leave any marks” she told News Corp.
“[Aliens are] the only explanation I have got.”
She said they have witnessed strange lights from time to time on their property at night.

“You get this light – it will jump up and go down, jump up and go down,” Judy said. “Then fade away and become bright again, then fade away and come bright."
She also revealed that the other cows avoid the ones that have been mutilated and very much keep their distance.
When the first cow was discovered, a local vet told the ABC that the way the organs had been cut out were very strange.
David Lemmon says the udders, ears and tongues aren't really even valuable.

"I deal with everything, you know — all creatures great and small. And I can't think of any explanation for it, that's not normal human behaviour is it?" he said.
"That's something quite bizarre and ill, I would say the person that has done that is not mentally stable.
"We're talking eyes, we're talking ears, we're talking udders. No, I've never heard of anything like that ever, that's something or someone very ill who's done that."
Cow mutilation has been reported in multiple countries over the last few decades and authorities have been at a loss at finding an explanation behind it.
