INTRODUCTION:
Often we hear people speaking about
"flying cows" with a very low scientific rigour, frequently
exceeding into quackery. It's time to define more precisely this
subject, to avoid gratuitous and unproved statements made by crooked
scientists, making the whole discipline fall into disrepute.
The study of bovine flight is surely difficult by the loath nature
of these ruminants, shrinking from any superfluous exhibitionism
which is characteristic, for instance, of the birds, but prefere
instead a discreet flying activity, mainly for ludic and trophic
purposes (i.e. attainment of the higher and tenderer leaves of
the trees): anyway plenty of detailed scientific evidences on
bovine flight are available and are exposed in the next pages.
We can start defining cattle flying activity as buptery
from the Greek boûV = cattle and pterón = wing. It must remark
the almost perfect coincidence with the name butteri, the
Italian Maremma cow boys, and this gives us a clear indication
about the real duties of butteri in the past: air traffic controllers,
not just stockpersons.
ANATOMICAL AND PHYISIOLOGICAL
STRUCTURES OF BOVINE FLIGHT:
The absence of wings in cattle is
of common knowledge, therefore it must deem the only explanation
of this phenomenon is jet propulsion, by means of physiological
emission of methane, carbon dioxide, scatole, indole and other
gases; since this emission occurrs from both body orifices, located
at the opposite ends of the body, cattle have a fine direction
and speed control, even if their flight is more noisy than birds
flight, not being detrimental anyway, since cattle haven't any
flying predator, and don't prey upon other species.
The flying activity requires modifications of sense-organs, assuring
a correct orientation during migrations and body stability during
flight, even in critical situations (glides, dives, pull-ups),
which is of basic importance, seen the lacking aerodinamic property
of the species. It's clear that horns are the organs aimed to
this task, since they're placed above the head, like the other
sense-organs, and oriented towards the flight direction; their
importance is confirmed by the fact that flightless species (horses,
donkeys, pigs) have no horns, and is moreover proved by the practice
of dehorning in modern farms, aimed not only to prevent stockpersons
and other cattle from being wounded, but mainly to impeach an
escape by wings of animals having sometimes a high value.
On the other hand, centuries old wisdom of the breeders gives
a very clear indication of their worries about cattle flying escapes,
by means of technical devices like tie stall housing, and narrow
windows in the oldest barns, so that cattle couldn't pass through.
It must remark that the most part of cattle parasites can fly
(horse-flies, gad-flies, warble flies, etc.): should we suppose
either a parasites' adaptation to flight, aimed to follow their
host or that cattle learnt to fly to escape parasites? And anyway,
why should an insect need wings to reach a host bound to the ground?
BUPTERE ETHNOLOGY:
The different horn size of the different
breeds are indicative of the different flying skill between them:
Maremmana breed (fig.1) has
particularly wide horns and is traditionally tended by butteri
who, as seen previously, were at first real air traffic controllers.
Another cattle breed with particularly wide horns is Scottish
"Highland" (fig.2),
and it's easy to remark the meaningful etymology of the name:
"high", like a flight, and "land",
with the evident meaning of "cattle landing after a high
flight".
Even Ayrshire breed name (fig.3)
recalls more airlines than cattle, and it must remark that both
Highlands and Ayrshire are in Scotland, not far from Loch Ness,
seat of a paranormal reality negated by the official science?
(see "Loch Ness: a negated reality" by
the same Author).
The different coats of each breed suggest different flight habits:
the black spotted breeds, like Holstein (fig.4),
but even more the red spotted, like Simmental (fig.5),
have evidently a showy colour to avoid collisions between them
during formation flight, while breeds with uniform dark coat are
those flying prevalently by night, with a mimetic purpose (fig.6, Aberdeen Angus, another Scottish
breed: it's only by chance?). The British beef breed more widespread
in the world is named Hereford, whose pronunciation recalls "airport",
and which is mainly polled, so flightless, and this agrees with
the red and white coat, with well distinct fields, typical of
ground service vehicles on the airport runways (fig.7).
HISTORY OF BOVINE FLIGHT:
The earliest artistic representations
of cattle are in the Palaeolithic paintings of Altamira caves,
with a cattle flock flying in formation (fig.8),
of Lascaux caves with a landing bovine (fig.9),
of Tuc d'Audoubert cave, with two cattle taking off (fig.10),
and in the rupestrian engraving in Valcamonica, with cattle flocks
flying (fig.11).
The astonishing technical level of artistic representation, inconceivable
for Palaeolithical artists, is a signature of the real authors:
intergalactic reporters landed from alien starships (see: "Extraterrestrial
Palaeolithic engraving: a negated reality", by the
same Author) and give us a chronological indication on the countless
bovine migrations in the history. Everybody knows the origin of
bovine species dates back to Mu, the lost continent (see "Mu:
a negated reality", by the same Author), clearly
owing its name to the same ruminant, which probably had a main
role in the complex social structure of Mu. How cattle escaped
from distruction of the continent swallowed by the sea (due to
explosion of the dung energy deposits? see "Dung-propelled
starships: a negated reality", by the same Author)
if not migrating on wings? And where migrating cattle headed for,
if not Mesopotamia, where Assyro-Babylonians venerated the winged
bull (fig.12), to reach then
Egypt, homeland of the cult of Apis bull (fig.13),
represented with a sun disk between the horns, maybe a schematization
of a radar receiver (see: "Moo base Alpha. Do you read
me?", by the same Author).
How to explain the presence in Italy of
Indian or Pakistan origin cattle breeds (i.e. Piemontese breed,
fig. 22), if not with a long
migration? And being a migration via mainland practically impossible
since the very long distance to cover, which other way, but not
a migration on flight, could have led under our skies such breeds
from remote continents? Some people object, according to reason,
that a migration could have happened by intergalactic starships
(see: "Star Transhumances: a negated reality",
by the same Author) or by teletransport or psychokinesis, but
these hypothesis are till to-day not scientifically demonstrated.
Proceeding to Roman age, the great Virgil in Bucolicon
talked about deers at pasture on flight:
but being the flight above mentioned at
a high altitude ("in aethere"), we can suppose
that the poet made a sighting mistake, and instead he saw cattle,
or even it was a poetic licence (by the way the poet Horace,Virgil's
colleague, lived quite in Licenza, near Rome: just a coincidence?);
anyway the impressive antlers of the deers can also give credit
the hypothesis that Virgil was right, and the Mammals he sighted
flying were in reality deers (see: "Aeneas was extraterrestrial:
a negated reality", by the same Author).
Jumping ahead some century, the great Galileo Galilei, during
his nighttime astronomical observations in Pisa, surely sighted
flying cattle of the local breed "Mucca Nera Pisana"
(fig. 14), whose mimetic colour
gives us a measure of its skill for night fly. The fact that the
great astronomer and astrologer never mentioned it in his works
testifies the importance he attributed to bovine flight and of
the certainty that divulging this knowledge could cause a violent
reaction of the ecclesiastical hierarchies and of the science
establishment of the age, anchored to a vision of cattle as animals
solely terrestrial: calling to mind the trial and the forced abjuration
of Galileo, how could we blame his caution? (See: "Galileo:
a misunderstood genius", by the same Author). We
could nevertheless assume that, seeing the mimetic colour of this
cattle, he could have missed to sight them, or mistake them for
Santa Claus' reindeers.
Moving on to more recent ages we can recall the Galvani's experiments
on animal electricity, that the great scientist was forced to
carry out on frogs, since the cow he purchased for the experiment
flew away from the window, shirking a closer investigation on
the electrical structures involved with flight.
For what concerns modern age, should we consider a mere coincidence
the fact that the main airports have been built in the areas with
the higher density of cattle farms? Maybe the first airport builders
chose the areas where the meteorological and orographical conditions
are more fit to the flight, the same chose by cattle centuries
before? (See: "Malpensa airport: the druid's spell",
by the same Author).
Maybe the numerous air crashes whose causes aren't cleared up
were due to collisions between aircrafts and cattle? The evident
reticences and cover ups of authorities and official science are
maybe due to the need of conceal evidences of a bovine flight
activity that could shake the foundation of the official science
establishment, denying with stubbornness the existence of a reality
supported by countless evidences? (see: "Twin Towers:
terrorists from outer space" by the same Author).
How to explain the presence of cowdung on mountain rangeland,
even at high altitude, when no head of cattle is on sight, if
not as a remainder of nigthtime hedgehopping passages of herds?
The mountaineers don't like to speak of this and, asked about,
whitdraw themselves behind undecipherable mumbles or deny the
evidence, which makes suspect they fear a reprisal, maybe from
the same cattle who want to keep their own aerial activities secret
(see: "Cattle mafia: a negated
reality", by the same Author) or from military
leaders that for years have been employing apparently innocuous
cows in air intelligence actions (see "Spy Holstein:
a negated reality", by the same Author); on this
subject we cannot deny the astonishing structural analogy between
cattle tail and Stealth strike aircraft tail (fig.15).
A partial and temporary unmasking of bovine flight was tried by
Air France in the Fifties (fig.15a).
Finally a recent (June
2011) updating by Andrea PL, an attentive reader of this page,
who brought to my attention an umpteenth evidence of bovine flight:
Ringo Starr, the Beatles' drummer, knew it. In his house of Weybridge,
near London, il musician actually had a bar named "The Flying
Cow". (*)
To sum up, it's evident that cattle flight can be negated only
by the guilty bluntness of traditional medicine and official science,
which anyway hold an uncontrollable power, since they succeed
in monopolizing informations and hide facts looking obvious, as
documented by the astonishing image abstracted from NASA archives
where was concealed (fig.16),
or by the flying kung fu fight sequence, man vs. cow, in
the film Kung Pow! Enter the Fist by Steve Oederkerk (fig. 17), sold as a product of digital
special effects, while it's a mere documentary. But in spite of
this, they'll not cow us and, for the sake of freedom, science
and knowledge, we'll keep on tearing the veil of silence covering
truth as a shroud (see: "The shroud of Turin is extraterrestrial:
a negated reality", by the same Author), and
we ask all the witnesses of these events not to hide themselves,
but to cry aloud: "I saw a flying cow!".
We are sure that the present text will make noise and the priests
of the dullest rationalism will keep denying that cattle can fly,
like still today they negate the extraterrestrials are among us
(fig.18), or Elvis Presley is
alive (fig.19), Paul McCartney
is dead (fig.20) and Enrique Iglesias
is the reincarnation of Ramses II (fig.21):
may they have our pity!
