N2  - "The Shining Cow" by Alex James is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. The story centers around a peculiar incident involving a farmer named Zack Stewart and his cow, Junius, who unexpectedly begins to shine with a bright, luminescent light after a close encounter with a supposed UFO. This book explores themes related to the unknown, the intersection of rural life and extraterrestrial phenomena, and the human reaction to bizarre occurrences.  The narrative unfolds on the Stewart farm, where Zack and his wife are distressed over the disappearance of their cow, Junius. When Zack finally finds her, he discovers that she is glowing intensely, prompting him to contact scientists and authorities to investigate this mysterious phenomenon. As scientists arrive to examine Junius, they speculate on the implications of her transformation, linking it to a flying saucer. Ultimately, after much anticipation and tension, Junius returns to her normal state, leaving both the characters and readers pondering the bizarre and unexplained events that took place on the farm. This novella combines humor, suspense, and a touch of absurdity, making it an entertaining read for fans of light-hearted science fiction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
