You know, there is supposed to be a UFO base located under Mt Shasta.
Shasta is a Cascade volcano.
Maybe there are also aliens living within Mt Hood and they are responsible for the climber deaths.
Has the autopsy reported yet if the rectums and other organs were removed? Because in cattle mutilations, the cows often have their tender parts removed surgically.
With all the rescue aircraft flying around, one more black helicopter would have been totally unnoticed.
I think a special team should go back up to investigate these snow caves. One might be a camouflaged entrance to the alien base.
But go prepared. MREs, East Coast gangsta system, shoe polish, and above all, take an alien-proof rectum.
