July 24, 2005: Alien Abduction Evidence - Derrel Sims

Art Bell interviews Derrel Sims, a certified hypnotherapist and former CIA operative who has spent 38 years researching alien abduction cases. Sims describes his own abduction experiences beginning at age three in Midland, Texas, including a procedure at age 12 where an entity inserted a device through his nasal passage. He later discovered another abductee with an identically placed object visible on MRI.

Sims details 23 surgical implant removal operations conducted by a cardiovascular surgeon. Objects retrieved from abductees were analyzed for $22,000 and identified as meteoric in origin, containing elemental ratios inconsistent with anything found on Earth and surrounded by 11 unexplained elements. He also describes his 1994 discovery of fluorescent markings on abductees visible only under blacklight, including a Mandelbrot fractal pattern on one subject's arm.

The investigation extends to a case involving a retired surgical nurse who experienced apparent alien artificial insemination, resulting in a full-term pregnancy and a child she described as resembling a "human grasshopper" at birth. Sims reports that hair samples have been collected and DNA testing is forthcoming. He argues that the entities operate like an intelligence agency, systematically blocking abductees from seeking evidence of their encounters.

Key Moments

  1. Italy implant case: 'What if the implant CAUSED the anger?': Sims describes an Italian physicist studying a BB-like object in an abductee's hand who concluded the implant was healing the man's severe anger. Sims pushes back with his old cop instinct: maybe the entity caused the anger first, then 'cured' it - making the abductors look like saviors.

  2. Implant metallurgy: blind labs identify a meteorite source: Sims says objects removed from abductees were sent blind to scientists - paid $22,000 to analyze unidentified metal - via Bob Bigelow's NIDS group, with Jacques Vallee present. The labs reported the samples matched the rare Widmanstatten or Yaochong meteorite, with isotope ratios not consistent with anything on Earth and 11 surrounding elements that 'shouldn't be there.'

  3. Sims's three predictions to 250 surgeons at John Muir: Speaking at a 1994 surgical CME at John Muir Medical Hospital, Sims told 250 surgeons what they would find if they really analyzed abductee anomalies: no discernible technology, nerve cells not native to the body part, and eventually biological implants with central-nervous-system tissue acting as a 'mini brain' anywhere in the body.

  4. The retired surgical nurse who woke up pregnant - and her 'human grasshopper' son: A 35-year surgical nurse tells Sims she and her husband had abstained from sex when she woke at night with two short entities in the room, semen on her stomach, and a hypnotic memory block. She accused her husband, divorced him, carried a full-term pregnancy, and gave birth to a child she could only describe as 'a human grasshopper.' Sims is collecting hair and buccal-swab DNA.

  5. Fluorescence on the skin: a 24-hour forensic window: Sims says abductees fluoresce under UV - 'alien sweat' from physical contact - within 24 hours of an event. He dates the discovery to 1992, beginning with a wealthy client who showed a Mandelbrot-like pattern on the inside of her arm, and reports replicating the finding many times since.
