'Snippy can't leave this valley,' Alamosa chamber head says
The battle for Snippy's bones is on. Snippy, a horse that died in a field near Alamosa in 1967, drew international attention because her owner claimed that space aliens in a UFO mutilated the mare.
After a series of owners, Snippy's bones, wired together and mounted on a wheeled platform, appeared briefly on eBay last week for a minimum bid of $50,000.

Know anything about this?
I rememeber reading the tabloid stories when I was young, very strange incident.
talk about beating a dead horse.
Thanks.
DID ANYONE catch Coast 2 Coast last night? I just caught a snippet about a gravity wave headed our way or we are headed it's way in a super cycle sort of thing . . . and near extinction etc. etc. And supposedly scientists have verified . . . etc.
Anyway--UFO PING LIST PING . . .
Please let:
Quix; Las Vegas Dave; Kevin Davis;
know if you want on or off the list
--I was laughing about it in Leadville at the time--more of the UFO hokum---
It's Solar Flares, man. All the way down, it's Solar Flares!
FYI: Snippy was the original "animal mutilation" story back in the 70's or so.
Or late 60's as per article. sheesh!
Are you sure you don't have it confused with the wave of collapsing real estate values push by ExTexan and others?
Even if you don't, we're DOOMED!
The question is which wave is going ot hit us first?
--believe me, living in Leadville at the time, we were in on the ground floor, as it were---
The Bible does speak of men dying from the real excessive heat in our era.
Naw.
It was some remote viewing character . . . who's on a lot off and on . . . and is almost moved to Bulgaria, of all places . . . he's personally convinced that not many will survive and that ET's are going to help rescue some.
Certainly a NEW AGE globalist scenario that's been around a while. But this is clearly a new twist on it with a host of calamities supposedly headed our way do to the super cycle gravity wave phenomena or some such.
Threadfall is coming. The end is near.
Major Ed Dames? Certainly one of the classic Coast To Coast guests. I get the impression sometimes that Art doesn't believe a word he says, but that makes it all the more entertaining!
As for Snippy, that's a pretty fascinating case. Who'd have guessed the poor thing'd end up on ebay after all these years?
Thanks in advance.
LOL. Hey, I want a piece of that 50 grand!
Sam says he agrees with that. ;-)
Heh heh, I remember exactly when Snippy's story broke.
I was at OU and it was the week before OU-Texas weekend. Both schools were doing big pranks on each other, like intercepting each other's college radio station signals and broadcasting propaganda on the opposing school's station.
OUr station in Norman was intercepted and the UT Wranglers came on and took credit for all kinds of things, including being the outer space people who killed Snippy, saying she was one of our Sooner Schooner wagon horses.
Within that week, a cow was killed near Alamosa, too (Snippy had been found about a month earlier, but nobody heard about it until that day in October), and legend had it that it was mutilated the same way as Snippy, with radioactive Geiger counter readings and scorch marks and crop circles, lol.
Rumors had circulated for a day or two about it (don't ask me why all this stuff going on in Alamosa, Colorado, was of any interest to people in Norman, OK, or Austin, TX, but it was - maybe because it was a regular stop on popular CO ski trips taken by students at both schools!).
About on Tuesday or Wednesday of that week, OUr people "hacked" the UT signal and broadcast the claim that *we* Sooners had killed Bevo up in Alamosa.
Ha ha, I remember all the mayhem that week very well - and Snippy was just the start of it.
