alien implants

I've been reading a lot about UFOs over the past year and everything I learn is more surprising than the last. But this is just fantastic:

Not because it's about abductees, but because they have physical proof. Dr. Leir is famous in the UFO world for surgically removing implants from abductees - he's performed about 17 such operations. Here Coast to Coast AM interviews Dr. Leir, a nuclear physicist and an expert in nanotechnology who have analyzed the foreign bodies. Conclusion: definitely out-of-this-world.

I'm surprised Dr. Leir hasn't had an "accident."

Actually he did have some poor health a while back if I remember correctly. Will check the C2C website when I get a chance to see if I can find something out about that.

There's a big discussion about him here on the Skeptic's Forum:

Here's a bio about him on The Black Vault:

Thanks, emeline, that discussion looks really interesting. I must admit I can't make heads or tails out of Leir yet. I did some searching on the two scientists that were featured in the interview I posted. One appears to be a real physicist but seems not to have been employed in an academic setting or has been self-employed for some time now:

I'm not sure what to make of that. The other scientist appears to be a nanotube specialist but if one can believe Linkedin, also employed by Leir's company (A&S Research), so not exactly an objective observer:

On the one hand I know that people are resistant to information they don't want to hear, but on the other hand if Dr. Leir is in fact sitting on such explosive evidence, then I think we would have heard more about it by now, even within the UFO community. But I'm new to this subject.
