patgundHorse that launched animal-mutilation UFO lore lands on eBay
"Snippy, a horse that died mysteriously in an Alamosa field in 1967, is back in the news thanks to eBay.
The Appaloosa mare's death drew international media attention when her owner, Nellie Lewis, said the 3-year-old was mutilated by space aliens.
There were no tracks or blood on the ground, but the skin and flesh from the withers to the head were removed, exposing the bone.
Lewis told the world media there was a strange, sweet odor that she likened to incense on the rural ranch in the area where Snippy's remains were found.
The stories grew - the heart and brain were missing, too - and Snippy became the first reported case of animal mutilation by visitors from space."
