Will the Real Derrel Sims Stand Up?
Derrel Sims' nickname "Alien Hunter" describes his sometimes controversial approach to the phenomenon of alien abduction perfectly. He is a big man with a no nonsense stance about him, not surprising since he worked for the CIA in covert operations during the Vietnam war for two years.
This ex-soldier, who is himself an abductee, likens the
operations of the aliens to that of the CIA itself. "If you
treat the alien presence as if they are an intelligence
community, you will make far more sense out of what they do,
because they are secretive, they tell lies and they lie
consistently -- well that sounds like most intelligence
communities I've ever heard of."
Sims' approach to the phenomenon reflects his military outlook,
he believes if they keep secrets then they do so because they
are vulnerable. If they are vulnerable then there is an
opportunity to fight back. He gets very annoyed at the
passive approach to dealing with abduction. Because the abductors
display remarkable feats of technological sophistication doesn't
mean they we should just lie down and accept whatever they do to
us: "I personally don't believe the human race was seeded by
aliens, as many in the UFO community do." He insists, "If you
believe this then it leads to the kind of thinking that -- well
they probably created us so therefore anything they do is all
right. I find this mentality very disconcerting."
Although he thinks that the agenda behind abduction is complex
and that there are a whole series of different programmes going
on, he believes much of it revolves around a fundamental
biological and genetic issue. [DNA -- "the
mystic tie that maketh men brethren" -B:.B:.]
Pointing to his lecture audience he says:
Sims was abducted as a child of three and has since been
multiply abducted. He described his first abduction as
terrifying, when he awoke to find a "grey-type" creature by his
bed, he was paralysed but managed to struggle and fall off the
bed. When the creature pushed the bed away he saw its face: "It
had large round eyes. They seem to have changed models on us
since then like going from Fords to Cadilacs. What does that
tell you?"
In one case he investigated he told me that the woman struggled
with a creature that had the same round eyes as his abductor.
She managed to fight back and knocked out one of the alien's eye
shields, revealing its structure which was composed of five
separate areas with little lines moving back and forth across
the eye.
"I think human beings are one of the greatest things ever
created and it wasn't by them. They want what you have, but
they don't want you to be part of what they have got. They are
clearly doing some astounding things in terms of genetics, but
there is obviously something about the human species that is so
incredible that they are prepared to go to enormous lengths to
get at you and to do it without you knowing by trying to implant
screen memories. Why all the secrecy? If we are just lab rats
why don't they just tell us?"

Although currently under scientific investigation the bizarre aspect to the case was that the dentist stated that due to the size of the teeth they could only have come from a man who had to have been over 6ft tall and weighing 300 lbs.
As to the aspect of abduction that 'the Greys' are creating a hybrid species, Sims is cautious and states: "I can't be sure this is happening until I have hard evidence I can validate." However as far as the aspect of false pregnancies, which are such a common feature of abduction he told me he is currently investigating a number of cases. "The best case I have seen so far is a woman who claims to have been abducted and has physical evidence to corroborate her claims.
What is so interesting is she claims to be a month pregnant but she had an operation eleven years ago to have her tubes tied and is therefore infertile. Her family have also been through some extraordinary events and they tried to move her secretly to another house in the hope of avoiding another abduction. It didn't work."
Sims likes to emphasise the vulnerability of the aliens and to
demythologise their power. During the lecture he has the
audience in hysterics when he shows a cartoon of a human
grabbing a startled alien by the neck:
"Anything that has habits can be caught and trapped, so long as
the trap is elaborate enough, this is why humans can be caught.
Very few wild animals can be caught by traps because they don't
have regular habits. The aliens have an agenda they must follow
at all costs and this makes them vulnerable. They are not demi-
gods, they often make mistakes."
To illustrate this point he describes a tragic case he
investigated which involved a woman who had two young children,
both of whom had experienced multiple abductions. On one
occasion the children were taken from a shallow paddling pool
they were playing in. "Unfortunately, explains Sims, when they
were returned, the aliens mistakenly dropped them back into the
neighbour's pool, which happened to be 12 feet deep and the
children drowned. The pool was surrounded by a 12 feet fence
and there was no way these kids could have scaled this fence."
Sims conducted an experiment in alien communication, when he
located a woman who he described as more of a contactee than of
an abductee mentality. The woman who claimed, remarkably, that
she "picked up every two or three weeks by the same group of
aliens" and had been for the last 30 years.
Sims implanted a post hypnotic suggestion into the woman's
subconscious. A sort of hidden message that she could not
access consciously. "Apparently something happened when the
lady was picked up a few weeks later." Explains Sims, "When she
came to within 20 inches of the alien, this had the effect of
triggering the hypnotic suggestion which was communicated to the
alien. The woman said the result of this was that for the first
time in 30 years she saw an emotional response from an alien."
It is rather unorthodox experiments like this that have given
Sims a controversial reputation within the UFO community. Yet
he is methodical when it comes to investigating physical
evidence and has spent huge sums of money having such evidence
examined by scientists. He is currently investigating the
bizarre phenomenon of fluorescent markings that can only be seen
on abductees when 'black light' or ultra violet light is shone
on the skin of abductees.
This phenomenon is far more common than previously believed and
Sims has documented cases of abductees who are astounded to
discover strange shapes and markings on their skin when exposed
to 'black light'. "This is some kind of fluorescent liquid
which has been placed underneath the skin and cannot be washed
off, only removed by scraping off the skin with a knife. It is
usually green and I have an example of someone with a double
crescent shape on their neck. In one extraordinary case the
person found the shape of the Mandelbrot Fractal inside their
arm."
When I asked Sims if he thought the implants functioned as some
king of tracking device he thought this explanation too simple
and that all abductees don't necessarily have implants in their
bodies." I'm just speculating here but I think they are more to
do with modifying the behaviour of abductees, possibly by
controlling the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain,
such as Serotonin."
As to the issue of whether the scientific examination of
implants will prove they are extraterrestrial, because they are
made of some exotic metal not in the periodic table, Sims is
skeptical. "I don't think we will find that kind of result and
we haven' so far. I think this is because if it was an 'alien'
metal then the body's immune system would reject it."
Although 'The Alien Hunter' has yet to catch a live alien
kicking and screaming, Sims' more aggressive approach to alien
abduction seems to be having a significant impact on the way
people view the phenomenon. He has certainly managed to instill
in researchers and abductees alike a sense of self-empowerment
and that it is possible for the abductee to fight back and not
to lie back passively. In one case Sims explains: "The aliens
demanded that a woman enter the craft, but she stood her ground
and said no. They then told her that if she didn't obey she
would never see her parents again. She still held firm and said
no. Do you know why she said that?
Because she knew they were lying."
Excerpt from:
This article summarizes a lecture given by Dr. Roger Leir at a
public meeting in Thousand Oaks, California on February 23, 1996,
sponsored by the local chapter of MUFON (the Mutual UFO Network).
Dr. Leir is a California surgeon who 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.
According to Sims, these people were originally unaware that
they had the implants. The objects were accidently discovered
on x-rays taken for unrelated reasons. At the time, these
individuals were seeing Derrel, as there were indications that
they had a history of abduction. After extensive interviews
were taken by Derrel, he ordered copies of their medical records
and these objects came under scrutiny. There was no pain
associated with these implants, and neither patient had any
prior sensation of foreign objects in the body. Another
peculiar fact is that these implants also left no sign of entry
into the body; if there was an initial incision, it healed so
perfectly that there was no outward scar.
To help locate the implants more specifically prior to surgery,
Dr. Leir used a stud finder and a gauss meter. A gauss meter
measures electromagnetic fields. When the gauss meter was put
near the object in the man's hand, the meter "went crazy." Dr.
Leir first tested the man with the gauss meter indoors, then
took him outdoors away from all other magnetic influences. The
results were the same. Similarly, when he used the stud finder,
it lit up brightly over the man's hand, so they knew there was
something there.
Prior to the surgery, both individuals received a type of local
anesthetic which would normally anesthetize the area of surgery
for up to six hours. While Dr. Leir was searching within the
woman's toe for the first implant, he accidently touched the
object and the patient "almost jumped off the table." Dr. Leir
explained that the only time a surgeon gets this type of pain
reaction under anesthesia is when something, in this case the
object, is in close proximity to a nerve fiber. This is because
the nerve fiber arouses the sensation of pain directly in the
patient's brain, outside of the field of anesthesia. This
happened in all three spots with both patients. When the
objects were extracted, both patients had the same painful
response. This led Dr. Leir to the realization that these
objects were somehow attached to nerves.
The first object removed was flat and approximately triangular
shaped, about half a centimeter on each side. Though metallic
inside, it was covered with a thick, dense gray membrane. Dr.
Leir tried to cut into the membrane with a scalpel, but couldn't.
When foreign objects have been in the human body for a long time,
they do get covered with a dense fibrous coating, but usually
such material can be scraped off with a blade. In this case,
however, the membrane was nearly impossible to remove. A
similar coating was found on all three objects.
Dr. Leir's next concern was how to safeguard and preserve the
objects until they could be transported to a lab for analysis.
In other cases of alleged implant retrievals, objects have
reportedly turned to powder, disintegrated, or somehow
disappeared. Dr. Leir decided the safest way to store these
objects for transport was in the patients' own biological fluid.
He had his nurse withdraw blood from each of the patients, then
removed the serum in a centrifuge, mixed it with an
anticoagulant preservative, and placed each implant in a vial
filled with the fluid. Derrel Sims then took them back to
Houston for further analysis.
Dr. Leir was responsible for the biological end of the implant
research. So, after the objects were removed, he sent samples
of surrounding tissue to a local pathologist. When the objects
were taken out, Dr. Leir had noticed that the tissue around
them was a discolored gray tone, not the color normally seen in
tissue inflammation surrounding a foreign object. He received
three reports back from the pathologist, one for each of the
tissue samples. He was excited to see that none of the samples
showed any signs of inflammation.
Normally there is an inflammation response to any foreign object
in the body. This results from white blood cell activity in the
area, attempting to rid the body of what it considers garbage
that doesn't belong there. If the object is something soft,
like a sliver, the body is able to disintegrate it and take it
away one piece at a time. If the body can't remove the foreign
object, it does the next best thing. Thousands of cells join
together in a process called differentiation, changing form and
surrounding the object to wall it off and separate it from the
rest of the body. Any type of foreign object placed in the body
-- whether by accident, such as a splinter, or something
surgically inserted by a doctor -- will show this type of
inflammation. So it was extremely strange that the pathology
reports on these objects showed no inflammatory cells at all.
Another strange thing was also discovered. In the tissue around
each implant, there were numerous nerve endings that didn't
belong there. None of the investigators could say why these
nerve endings were there, but it suggests the possibility that
the implants act as some kind of monitoring device through
attachment to the nervous system. [but not a
control device? -B:.B:.]
When Derrel Sims got the objects back to Houston, his first test
was to expose them to ultraviolet light. He found that they all
glowed brilliant fluorescent green. Derrel has found in his
research with abductees that patches of some substance,
invisible to the naked eye but fluorescent under black light,
sometimes show up on the abductee's body following an abduction.
He suspects that whatever this substance is, it could result
from direct physical contact with the body of the abductor.
With this in mind, he said he was not surprised to see that the
three removed objects were fluorescent.
Later, Derrel dried out the three objects, and the membranes
surrounding them became quite brittle. He was then able to
scrape some of the membrane material off and send it back to Dr.
Leir for analysis. After scraping off the brittle membrane, he
found a highly magnetic, metallic, shiny black material inside.
When Dr. Leir received the three different scrapings of the
membrane coatings from Derrel Sims, he sent them out to three
separate pathologists. When the reports came back, it turned
out that the main ingredient in this very tough membrane was
something simply made from blood. In this bloody mass were some
brown granules. The pathologists did an iron stain test and
found that these brown granules were made of oxygen-carrying
pigment from human red blood cells. Besides this, they also
found a material called keratin, which comprises the outer
layers of human skin, hair and fingernails.
Dr. Leir pointed out that if medical science could figure out
how to duplicate this membrane, we would solve one of the
biggest problems in medicine, that of transplant rejection. The
membrane around the objects was apparently composed of material
from the patients' own bodies BEFORE the objects were inserted.
If we knew how to do this, we could put almost anything into the
human body and have absolutely no rejection.
[the ramifications are disturbing indeed -B:.B:.]
Leir and Sims illustrated the structure of one of the implants
taken from the woman's toe. When first removed, it was flat and
triangular (as previously described). When the outer membrane
was removed, inside were two separate pieces of shiny black
metal, tightly joined together in the shape of a "T". Apparently
only the membrane itself held these two metal pieces in alignment.
On February 22, the first preliminary lab reports came back on
the metal itself. Leir and Sims both said they would await the
final reports before announcing any details. They stressed that
they had sent the samples for testing to highly specialized labs
and had not indicated anything about where the samples came from.
Dr. Leir told the Thousand Oaks audience that the preliminary
findings are "mind-boggling," and that the first metallurgist
simply said: "Wow, you guys really found something here."
Dr. Leir stated that as soon as they get final reports from all
three labs, they will make their findings public. "I think you're
watching history," he said in conclusion.
Prior to working with Derrel Sims on this project, Dr. Leir had
been an occasional consultant for MUFON, but had not been deeply
involved. Now, he says, this project "has literally changed my
life!"

Derrel W. Sims, C.Ht, R.H.A.
Mr. Sims is Chief of Abduction Investigations and Director of
Physical Investigations for the Houston UFO Network. He has a
uniquely new, progressive and proactive approach to his work and
has managed to invoke a response from the alien presence as
opposed to only reacting to them or just generating piles of
case files. His methods of information retrieval and procedures
in research resulted in a mass abduction in December 1992. Mr.
Sims, who is an abductee himself has spoken before 250 doctors
at a major hospital regarding medical implications of the
phenomenon and has been invited to St. Petersburg, Russia to
present at the Int'l Scientific Congress. In his 25 years in
investigations, he has implemented the use of innovative tools
such as graphoanalysis, symbolic profiling, and genetic testing.
Mr. Sims emphasized the necessity of obtaining hard physical
evidence, and the analysis of the same (via non-UFO related
medical and scientific professionals) in the paper he and Mary
Florey M.S., R.C.Ht. presented to the Int'l Forum on New Science.
For years he has been providing investigations and hypnotherapy
at no charge to persons involved in the abduction phenomenon.
