Surgical 'Finds' Make Doctor Believe In UFO Abductions

VENTURA - He didn't want his name used.  He's a California surgeon and
he's scared of repercussions.

"I'd probably be ostracized, I'd be criticized, maybe I'd even lose my
license," he said.  "People with credibility who put themselves
forward in this field could wind up dead, in jail or out of business."

He performed the operations anyway, before witnesses and a video
camera. He cut into the big toe of a woman and into the back of a
man's hand.  Both believed they'd been abducted by aliens.  From both,
he extracted small foreign objects with some unusual properties.

"No one has the answers," he said.  "But we all know something is
going on."

The doctor has been active in UFO groups for five years.  Through
them, he met a Houston UFO researcher who sent the purported abductees
here for surgery last August.

The patents didn't know each other.  Neither had been aware of the
objects they carried.  Neither bore any nearby scars or punctures.  In
both cases, the objects came to light in x-rays for minor, unrelated
injuries.

The doctor was prepared for ingrown follicles or shards of plastic.

"I was as doubting as anyone else," he said.

But in the decades of practice, he'd never seen anything quite like
what he fished out.

The objects were encased in a thick, dark membrane.  But these weren't
cysts, he said.  They were so tough, his scalpel couldn't cut them.

Te object in the man was the size of a cantaloupe seed;  one of the
woman's two was T-shaped.  Both patients jerked back when the doctor
touched the objects - an unusual reaction for people calmed by
hypnosis and placed on local anesthetics.

Back in Texas, the membranes were dried out and cut open, revealing
tiny, highly magnetic pieces of a shiny black metal.  Under
ultraviolet light, they glowed a brilliant green - same as the
"fingerprints" on the thighs and backs of some who claim to have been
abducted, the doctor said.

Samples of the normal tissue surrounding the objects were sent to
pathologists.  The odd verdict, according to the doctor:  No
indication of a foreign body, no concentration of white cells, no
evidence of inflammation.

The hard membrane - the likes of which the doctor said he'd never seen
-was composed of substances naturally occurring in the body.  Strange
items have been pulled from "abductees" before but many somehow have
disappeared before independent scientists could examine them.

The objects are in Houston for electrical, chemical and microscopic
analysis.  The patents who unwittingly carried them say they fell
liberated.  The doctor figures he'll be called on to perform more
operations before long.

End.
