Encounter at Cloud Ranch

Father and son Tom and Jason Cloud are forced to defend their isolated northern Arizona ranch, their friends, and their way of life when a mysterious creature begins to butcher their cattle with laser-like precision. The looming cliffs above their Four Corners ranch are apparently harboring more than big-horn sheep and cougars. Jason's university professor, renowned forensic archaeologist Anna Thompson, is stumped by the evidence, but the mysterious sphere that pays a midnight visit leaves Jason convinced that they are dealing with something more than a new species of animal. The modern west will never be the same.
