The official FBI investigation into the creepy cattle-mutilation mystery concluded the culprits were just ordinary scavengers.
Who they are
The 'Rommel Report' was Kenneth Rommel's FBI-funded 1980 investigation into cattle mutilations.
What they do
It's the documented official finding that debunked the paranormal cattle-mutilation panic.
How it works
It concluded the mutilations were the work of common predators, scavengers and natural post-mortem bloating, finding 'none involved other than common predators'; veterinary pathologist Nick Nation noted that scavenger bite patterns can mimic clean surgical cuts.
Why it matters
The engine treats this as a solid, down-to-earth explanation that 'carries real weight,' anchoring the mundane reading against the paranormal one.
