Hi. I am a scientist with a great interest in science fiction and the
potential existence of intelligent alien life forms. I have a Ph.D. in
Molecular Biology. My particular areas of scientific expertise
are growth factor biology, oncology, and signal transduction biology.
The thing which strikes me as most interesting from the objective point
of view is the implants.
They represent the only potential objective evidence that anything is
happening, even though you can make a strong "circumstancial case" with
reports alone. If you run across someone with an "implant", I would be
interested in doing biochemical analysis of the surface of the implant,
before the pathologist destroys the potentially biologically active
substances on it. In Derrell Sims "analysis" of the implants, his
pathology report says "there appears to be new neuronal outgrowth to the
implant", which suggest something in/on the implant can cause new neuronal
outgrowth(note:which normally does not happen in adults) However, standard
preparation of a specimen from the pathologists' standpoint (i.e., fixation
with formaldehyde)would destroy any potentially interesting biological
molecules on the surface.If there is an "engineered growth factor" on the
surface of the implant, and I can purify even a few picograms of it off
the surface it is possible I could:
1)deduce the DNA sequence that coded it(i.e., since each amino
acid is coded for a by a specific subset of DNA nucleotides
called a "codon"), and search for it in families that suffer
from abduction. If the sequence is different enough from any
thing we make naturally, it would be evidence that abductees
have been modified. However, I should note that just because
"they" are putting a small "package" of this substance in the
abductees with implants, doesn't mean they would have altered
them to produce this stuff from their own cells, which would
make detecting a genetic change in the abductees not work.
So, my suggestion is just a stab at finding some physical evidence
that would connect it all;
2)make an antibody to the "peptide" sequence of the engineered
growth factor so we could screen the blood of abductees for the
presence of the same growth factor. Again, it would be objective
evidence that these abductees have been tampered with.
These suggestions are a bit crude, but if you run into an X-ray confirmed
implant, it would be interesting to try to settle this question of abduction
permanently.
Interests
I would like to discuss UFO related subjects with others interested in
rational study of potential extraterrestial artifacts. I am not a true
believer, but I would be interested in collaborating on work with materials
claimed to be of alien manufacture.
