An Alien Implant?

Imagine if doctors found a mysterious object in your body, and you had no idea how it got there. Tim Cullen says that's what happened to him. And as EXTRA reports one possible explanation has Tim and his neighbors looking to the sky.

Yuma Colorado's a sleepy little farming town where folks still see flying saucers the old fashioned way: at the local movie house. And of all Yuma's 3,000 residents, Tim "Goat" Cullen is one of the least likely to tell tales about UFOs and alien implants.

"Tim is about the most level headed down to earth guy you will ever meet," says his wife.

But not as down to earth as he was before doctors found a foreign object mysteriously embedded in his wrist.

"However it was put in I don't know," says Tim.

Now everyone from scientists to major newspapers are asking in all seriousness. Could Goat be a guinea pig in some kind of alien medical experiment? Goat Cullen and his wife Janet are god-fearing country folk with three grown daughters and a hunting dog named Freckles. And this 48-year-old cement layer never gave a hoot about UFOs until he says he and Janet saw one with their own eyes while driving down a country road back in 1977.

"It seemed to be about 100 foot long, 20 feet wide, 10 foot high and it just seems to land right here," describes Goat.

But for more than 22 years, Goat and his wife never mentioned it to a soul.

"I guess we didn't tell anybody about it because people would think we were weird," says Janet.

Goat didn't even give it much more thought until a year ago, when he happened to hit his thumb with a hammer and x-rays at the local hospital revealed to his total surprise that he had an odd metallic pellet about the size of a peppercorn embedded in his left wrist.

"I mean, I have absolutely no recollection of how it was put in my body," says Goat.

Then he saw a story on TV about a Los Angeles doctor named Roger Leir. Goat watched stunned as the podiatrist told how he had removed mysterious metallic objects from the feet and hands of several other unsuspecting people just like him all of whom also claimed to have had a close encounter. Before he knew it, Goat was under the knife in Doctor Leir's surgery.

"When we extracted the object and looked at it I was shocked because this now was the fourth one of this kind that we had found," describes Leir.

Lab tests have revealed it to be a magnetically charged rock that contains metallic substances Dr. Lear believes are not of this earth.

"The steel is finer than any of the steels that we can produce," he claims.

But even more bizarre than the metallic pellet is the membrane encasing it. Independent medical biologist Dr. Irene Revenko examined the membrane under the most advanced microscope in the world and was stunned to find a mysterious secretion.

"And I cannot think of anything in the human body for example which could look like that," Revenko explains.

Then Dr. Revenko found something even creepier: a sack of tiny eggs she's never encountered before either.

"Like a bag of frog eggs," she describes.

The membrane and metal pellet are now awaiting further tests to try to determine just what they do and where they came from. But Goat suspects it all has something to do with that UFO he says he saw 22 years ago

"That's the only way I can perceive to have this piece of metal put in my arm," he claims.

And Dr. Leir is inclined to agree.

The mysterious pellet will undergo further tests to determine what it does and where it came from. For more information you can purchase a copy of Dr. Roger Leir's book entitled "Aliens and the Scalpel" by calling 1-800-366-0264.
