Alien
Implants
An increasingly
common feature of alien
abduction
reports, consisting of the belief by abductees that, in addition
to undergoing a thorough physical examination, a long, thin needle is
injected into them by the extraterrestrial abductors. Sometimes
this needle is topped with a tiny metal ball, less than one-tenth of an
inch in diameter. When the needle is removed, the ball is no longer there.
Abductees
claim that it has been placed in their nose, ear, or even in their eye
socket. Some abductees have reported that a small ball has been removed
from their bodies during a similar operation.
Alien implant reports are a fairly new development in the
abduction experience, starting with the alleged 1967 abduction of a
Massachusetts woman,
Betty Andreasson, who claimed that a
tiny spiked ball had been inserted up her nose by her abductors. By the
1980s, the claim of foreign objects being implanted by extraterrestrials had
proliferated amongst the abductee community.
Apparently,
the
memory of this procedure is often distressing, and many people have
undergone brain scans in the hope of revealing the presence of an implant.
Results have been inconclusive. Some anomalies have shown up, but it is
not clear whether these are natural, or the result of technical
malfunctions, or signs of a foreign body.
In
September 1986, the well-respected science journal Nature published
a report by gynecologists at a hospital in Oxford, England. According to
it, the doctors had found
a mysterious object in a woman's amniotic fluid during a routine prenatal
chromosome test. Apparently this object was made of an unknown material and consisted
of small dots in a regular grid pattern; it measured only 10 microns,
which was considerably smaller than the size of any other reported
implants.
No
one has yet
satisfactorily
explained what this strange object is; on the
other hand, there is no evidence to suggest that it is an alien implant.
More and better physical evidence of this type will be needed to convince
the scientific community of the alleged reality of visiting aliens.
