implants,
alien For many years the
subject of alien implants in humans has not only intrigued abduction
researchers,
but attempts to isolate and study these objects have been fraught with
disappointment and failure. The situation changed in 1995 when I became
acquainted with Derrel Sims, a long-time researcher in the alien
abduction
field.
On August 19, 1995, the first set
of surgeries was performed for the removal of objects from the bodies
of
two individuals who were subjects of the alien-abduction phenomenon.
The
recovered objects were subjected to scientific analysis of both the
biological
and nonbiological material, and the findings were baffling. There was a
second set of surgeries performed on May 18, 1996. The total number to
date is now eight surgeries which has netted nine objects.
The first surgeries were performed
on a male patient whose x-rays demonstrated an object in his hand and
one
female with two obvious metallic objects in a toe that were also
demonstrative
in x-rays. There was an additional surgery following the first set that
yielded a small grayish white ball. This was followed by a set of three
surgeries. Two were female and one was male. Both females showed
radiographic
signs of objects beneath the skin on the front of the left leg, whereas
the male patient had a metallic radiographic object in the left jaw
area.
Following this set of surgeries another independent procedure was
performed
on a female who had an object in her left heel. The last surgery to
date
was performed on August 17, 1998, and was filmed by NBC to be included
in their two-hour prime-time special, which aired on February 17, 1999.
Because of the expense incurred from
the scientific analysis in world class laboratories, a method had to be
devised to raise money. All the surgical procedures performed were
without
charge to the patient, and the scientific data found eventually becomes
the property of all the Earth's inhabitants. Derrel Sims and I have
formed
an organization, which serves both functions. It is a nonprofit
organization
called: The Fund For Interactive Research in Space Technology,
(F.I.R.S.T.).
The Website address is HYPERLINK

Another nonprofit organization deals
with the matter of scientific analysis. This is The National Institute
for Discovery Science (N.I.D.S.), headed by Robert Bigelow who is
solely
responsible for looking at our scientific data and finding it worthy of
inclusion in their studies. The board of directors of N.I.D.S. is
composed
of some of the finest scientific authorities in the United States. Our
findings to date have been as follows:
Of the eight surgeries performed,
we have four that were metallic rods covered with an unusual biological
membrane not found in the medical literature. This membrane tightly
wraps
the metallic rods and is dark gray and shiny. Mysteriously, it cannot
be
cut through with a surgical blade. The analysis of this tissue shows
that
it is composed of three substances most probably belonging to the
recipient
of the implant. These substances are a protein coagulum, hemosiderin,
and
keratin.
In addition, we have found two other
biological mysteries. The soft tissue surrounding the objects
demonstrates
microscopically that the area has a high quantity of small nerve
receptors
called proprioceptors. Secondly, there is a stark and surprising
absence
of any inflammatory response to these objects, although we all know it
is virtually impossible to have something enter the body without it
responding
by inflammation. We believe that the reason for this has to do with the
formation of the membrane. The metallurgical findings are also
earth-shaking.
Scientists who have examined the
ìimplantsî compare them to meteorite fragments because
they
contain isotopic ratios consistent with nonearthly isotopic ratio
numbers.
Three of the objects appeared to
be small grayish-white ovoid balls. These were in turn attached to an
abnormality
of the skin, which is commonly associated with the abduction phenomenon
called a "scoop mark". When the surgical procedures were performed, the
entire segment was removed and sent in for pathological analysis. The
ovoid
balls are still being examined, but preliminary results on one of the
objects.
shows that it is composed of eleven complex elements.

Some of the biological findings associated
with these skin abnormalities include such things as Solar Elastosis, a
rare exposure of the dermal layer of the skin to ultraviolet radiation.
Last but not least is the object removed from the heel area, which
appeared
to be glass or crystal. After careful and continued analysis, we found
that the object was brown bottle glass made by Dow Corning.
However, the other objects seem to
be structured as if designed for a purpose. This purpose has not been
determined
yet. We hope that further study will provide answers regarding
function.
One possibility is that the objects are tracking devices. This would
enable
someone or something to find individuals anywhere on the globe. Another
possibility is that they are behavior-controlling devices. I believe a
more plausible purpose might be a device for monitoring certain
pollution
levels or even genetic changes in the body. This may be similar to the
way we monitor our astronauts in space. Only more time, effort, and
study
will answer these questions.
Many believe that we are on the verge
of a great scientific discovery: that mankind is actually being
tampered
with by extraterrestrial intelligences. Also, based on the work of
Zecharia
Sitchen, Allen Alford and others, I personally believe that alien
intervention
in the development of mankind has been going on for thousands of years
and that man's consciousness has undergone a systematic process of
expansion
and greater awareness. This in turn gives rise to our conscious
awareness
of the abduction phenomenon.

Incident at Exeter (G.P. Putnamís
Sons, 1966). Saturday Review writer John G. Fuller wrote a column for
that
magazine and an article for Look magazine about a wave of UFO sightings
in New Hampshire. He expanded those articles into this book, which is
the
first to draw a connection between UFOs and powerlines, over which the
bright balls of red lights were seen hovering, and which may have
caused
a blackout affecting the Northeastern United States.

insectoids ìBig Bugsî
thought to be of alien origin. Generally the form resembles a praying
mantis
that is larger than a man, but variants include grasshopper, fly, ant,
and caterpillar. Their history is quite unusual and bears special
interest to those with an interest in the cultural dimension of alien
imagery.
Throughout most of history, believers
in other worlds have buttressed their position with theology. The
feeling
was other worlds must be populated. God would not waste worlds by
having
them barren of life and people. God designed the world for men. Other
worlds
meant other men. The first important challenge to this reasoning
appeared
in 1742 when David Hume, famous for his criticism of the Argument from
Design which supported belief in the existence of God, warned that life
on other worlds would not be copies of ourselves. In a fictional
dialogue,
a character of his named Philo points out that nature is diverse for
such
expectations.
Pierre Louis Moreau in his Essaie
de Cosmologie (1750) soon after affirmed, ìIf such great
varieties
are observed already among those who populated the different climes of
the earth, how can one conceive of those who live on planets so distant
from our own? Their varieties probably exceed the scope of our
imagination.î
The atheistic Baron díHolbach in La systeme de la nature (1770)
similarly argued that the different temperatures of other worlds meant
their inhabitants may not be like us.
This sensibility did not immediately
overturn more stolidly anthropomorphic views. Pride of place on the eve
of the Darwinian revolution goes to Thomas Cullin Simonís
Scientific
Certainties of Planetary Life (1855) which asserted all planets would
share
the same vegetable, animal, and intellectual life. Charles
Darwinís
demolition of the Design argument with his theory of evolution by
natural
selection gave the speculation of non-human life elsewhere added force.
In 1870, Richard A. Proctor indicated stellar nebulae might be
inhabited
by ìtheir own peculiar forms of life.î In his 1873 work,
The
Borderland of Science, he affirms that if life exists on Mars,
ìit
must differ so remarkably from what is known on earth because of its
atmosphere.î
R. S. Ball in Story of the Heavens (1885) indicated life elsewhere
should
be specially adapted to their particular environments: ìLife in
forms strange and weirdÖstranger than ever Dante described or
DorÈ
drew.î
Camille Flammarion was especially
influential with the 1885 edition of The Plurality of Inhabited Worlds
(1885) when he routed prior thinkers on the question for their
anthropomorphism.
The ìplanetariansî imagined by Huygens, Wolff, Swedenborg,
Kant, Locke, and Fourier were only remodeled men. Soon after, the idea
of silicon-based lifeforms turns up in Astronomie with a Dr. Julius
Scheiner
urging that extraterrestrials may not resemble us. Imagination was
clearly
being set free by the new worldview of the Darwinians.
It was a cousin of Darwin, Francis
Galton, who first introduced the idea of alien insects into scientific
discourse. While on a dreamy vacation in 1896, he was pondering the
question
of Earth-Mars communication using dot-dash-line signals. A fantasy came
to him of a mad millionaire on Mars signaling us. A clever girl deduces
a base-8 code because ìthe Mars folk are nothing more than
highly-developed
ants, who counted up to 8 by their 6 limbs and two antennae as our
forefathers
counted up to 10 on their fingers.î A couple years later, Edward
Mason offers a paper proposing life on the planets of other systems
might
be similar to ants and dragonflies. (Crowe, 1999)
Perhaps the first work of fiction
to put Big Bugs on distant planets was John Jacob Astorís A
Journey
in Other Worlds (1894). It involves a trip to Jupiter that is still in
the carboniferous stage of evolution. Among the creatures they find are
dinosaurs, mastodons, giant serpents and flesh-eating ants the size of
locomotives. Paleontological finds of giant dragonflies and other
fossil
discoveries indicative of giant life earlier in Earthís history
combined with the growing popularity of evolutionary thought
Fred T. Janeís To Venus in
Five Seconds (1897) takes up Francis Galtonís communicative ants
and populates Venus with big, brainy bugs. Soon after, the Darwinian,
H.G.
Wells famously imagined a society of insectile Selenites in First Men
in
the Moon (1901). Diverse writers in the pulp era, including leaders
like
E.E. ìDocî Smith, Edgar Rice Burroughs and H.P. Lovecraft,
kept the idea going during the pulp era among the flood of the Big bug
stories up to the start of sci-fiís Golden Age around 1940. John
W. Campbell exiled them from science fiction because of their
scientific
implausibility.
They soon returned in the fifties,
as filmmakers grew comfortable with sci-fi themes and trick
photography.
Killers from Space (1954) had aliens hoping to destroy humanity with
Big
Bugs and other giant vermin. The success of the giant-ant film Them!
(1954)
quickly turned Big Bugs into an easy horror clichÈ. There has
been
a relatively constant stream of insectoid-related films, TV shows,
comic
books, and cultural media ever since. Much of it is considered campy by
culture vultures and even specialists in horror and science fiction
rarely
discuss it.
