Dr. Robert Leir on Alien Implants and Foreign Bodies
Editors note: Dr. Leir has removed many more implants since this story was published.
Dr. Leir is a podiatrist (a foot doctor), not a surgeon as is sometimes reported. According to his own account, Dr. Leir has been interested in UFOs since hearing his father describe the Roswell Incident to his mother in 1947. He later joined MUFON and became one its medical consultants.
Dr. Leir has removed what may be actual alien implants from two people brought to him by hypno-anesthesia therapist and abduction researcher Derrel Sims of Houston, Texas. Derrel Sims was the main speaker at the Thousand Oaks meeting but turned the podium over to Dr. Leir for the medical part of the presentation.
On August 19, 1995, several alleged "implants" were surgically removed from two abductees who have been working with Sims. If preliminary findings are confirmed by further laboratory testing, these implants might provide hard evidence that the abduction phenomenon is a reality.
Dr. Leir removed a total of three objects, two from one patient and one from a second patient. Both specimens in the first patient, a woman, were located in her large toe, one on each side of the toe. The third object was removed from the back of the left hand of the second patient, a man, slightly above the web area between the thumb and the index finger.
