Well, this is an unsavory story if I ever heard one. Horse (aka "Snippy") whose death sparked UFO theory is on eBay.

Snippy, or Snippy's skeleton, dropped out of sight for decades, only to surface last week on eBay with a minimum bid of $50,000. “Whether it was a UFO or aliens or not, it is history,” said Frank Duran, a marketing specialist for Dell's Insurance in Alamosa. Duran said he posted Snippy on eBay after an attorney for a local man's estate asked him to market the famed set of bones. But Monday, Duran put the Snippy bidding on hold because the local chamber of commerce and a relative of Lewis' have claimed ownership.

Snippy's owner claimed mutilation by space aliens. However, I have my own theory about this one.

The French.

Yep. A group of famished Frenchmen. Armed with forks and knives and a bottle of Bordeaux.

Read the whole distasteful (well to some of us more civilized folk, anyway) tale.
