However, aliens are more likely folks from other countries trying to get a piece of the action rather than beings from another world attempting to get a piece of a cow. Unfortunately, 4.5 billion-year-old planet Earth, so far as is known remains an “experiment” with a sample size of exactly 1; there is zero evidence for anything that passes for “alive” now or ever, anywhere we have looked, or listened or probed. Of course in a 13.5 billion-year-old universe, we are not even middle-age, and somewhere in the countless suns and planets, circumstances “just so” must have existed to get the breath of life into a non-living amalgam of this and that. But nothing that we have seen or noticed provides evidence, cattle mutilations or not. It may very well be the case that we are a lonely species and much better for us to take care of this world and each other for it may be all that we have or will ever know.
