1
00:00:06,470 --> 00:00:03,889
not all close encounters can be so

2
00:00:08,690 --> 00:00:06,480
easily ignored some claim they have

3
00:00:11,629 --> 00:00:08,700
evidence that aliens are abducting

4
00:00:14,030 --> 00:00:11,639
humans for nefarious experiments come

5
00:00:16,609 --> 00:00:14,040
with Jesus Be Our Guests May these

6
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:16,619
guests just be blessed amen Tim Cullen

7
00:00:20,269 --> 00:00:18,480
is a cement worker who lives in Yuma

8
00:00:23,150 --> 00:00:20,279
Colorado with his wife Janet a

9
00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:23,160
registered nurse a recent x-ray revealed

10
00:00:28,189 --> 00:00:25,680
a strange object lodged inside Cullen's

11
00:00:31,009 --> 00:00:28,199
body he has no puncture wound or scar

12
00:00:33,490 --> 00:00:31,019
but there is a repressed memory of a

13
00:00:36,049 --> 00:00:33,500
terrifying event in his past

14
00:00:37,370 --> 00:00:36,059
it wasn't 30 seconds after they told me

15
00:00:40,010 --> 00:00:37,380
that I had a piece of metal in my arm

16
00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:40,020
that I knew where it came from

17
00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:42,420
in the secret world Close Encounters

18
00:00:46,729 --> 00:00:45,000
stories have surfaced of people being

19
00:00:49,130 --> 00:00:46,739
taken against their will by

20
00:00:51,770 --> 00:00:49,140
extraterrestrials

21
00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:51,780
one who claims to have been abducted is

22
00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:54,239
Tim Cullen

23
00:00:59,510 --> 00:00:57,600
in May 1978 Tim and Janet Cullen were

24
00:01:01,910 --> 00:00:59,520
driving home from Denver when a bright

25
00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:01,920
light appeared on the horizon wow look

26
00:01:07,310 --> 00:01:04,559
at that suddenly an unidentified flying

27
00:01:11,630 --> 00:01:07,320
object hovered right in their path

28
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:11,640
it was large and so under shaped and had

29
00:01:16,969 --> 00:01:15,360
multiple lights it wasn't a helicopter

30
00:01:20,210 --> 00:01:16,979
and it wasn't an airplane it wasn't

31
00:01:23,210 --> 00:01:20,220
anything I'd ever seen before what is

32
00:01:25,550 --> 00:01:23,220
that wow it's gonna cross right over the

33
00:01:30,190 --> 00:01:27,770
Democrats seemed to come back up toward

34
00:01:32,270 --> 00:01:30,200
the road as it did that I felt

35
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:32,280
telepathic communication with the

36
00:01:37,249 --> 00:01:34,320
creatures inside

37
00:01:39,010 --> 00:01:37,259
has it changed me yeah it's changed me

38
00:01:42,170 --> 00:01:39,020
uh

39
00:01:47,929 --> 00:01:42,180
do I find it easy to talk about

40
00:01:52,010 --> 00:01:49,580
because I know what I'm saying

41
00:01:54,289 --> 00:01:52,020
[Music]

42
00:01:56,510 --> 00:01:54,299
Tim believes the encounter led to his

43
00:01:58,490 --> 00:01:56,520
abduction and although he has no recall

44
00:02:00,889 --> 00:01:58,500
of the experience he believes he

45
00:02:04,010 --> 00:02:00,899
received an implant that continues to be

46
00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:04,020
monitored by aliens my arm used to buzz

47
00:02:08,690 --> 00:02:06,719
the buzzing sensation was more regular

48
00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:08,700
and getting more intense

49
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:12,060
and as I was aware of it I would kind I

50
00:02:17,449 --> 00:02:13,920
felt that it would be aware of some of

51
00:02:20,089 --> 00:02:17,459
my thoughts at times and my emotions

52
00:02:22,610 --> 00:02:20,099
and react to those worried about the

53
00:02:25,130 --> 00:02:22,620
sensation he was experiencing Cullen met

54
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:25,140
with a doctor who examined his arm an

55
00:02:31,449 --> 00:02:27,120
x-ray revealed that Tim had an object

56
00:02:36,650 --> 00:02:33,890
I believe it's possible that this

57
00:02:38,930 --> 00:02:36,660
certainly could be an alien implant I've

58
00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:38,940
been around him for the past almost 24

59
00:02:45,050 --> 00:02:42,959
years and whenever he's had an injury or

60
00:02:48,589 --> 00:02:45,060
a splinter in his finger I've been there

61
00:02:49,970 --> 00:02:48,599
to remove it for him and I think I would

62
00:02:52,610 --> 00:02:49,980
have known about it if he would have had

63
00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:52,620
an injury reluctant to expose his

64
00:02:57,770 --> 00:02:55,260
experience to his personal doctor Cullen

65
00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:57,780
turned to the internet one year later

66
00:03:04,910 --> 00:03:01,200
his search led him to Dr Roger Lear a

67
00:03:07,130 --> 00:03:04,920
California podiatrist Dr Lear removes

68
00:03:09,290 --> 00:03:07,140
objects that patients suspect have been

69
00:03:11,750 --> 00:03:09,300
implanted by aliens and provides his

70
00:03:14,449 --> 00:03:11,760
service for free I am a hundred percent

71
00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:14,459
convinced that the number one these

72
00:03:21,710 --> 00:03:18,480
objects are placed in the human body by

73
00:03:24,350 --> 00:03:21,720
someone or being using a technology

74
00:03:27,050 --> 00:03:24,360
which far exceeds are

75
00:03:28,850 --> 00:03:27,060
because we do not have the ability to

76
00:03:30,890 --> 00:03:28,860
put something in the body without making

77
00:03:33,050 --> 00:03:30,900
a portal of entry that's and that's just

78
00:03:34,850 --> 00:03:33,060
where it starts Dr Lear carefully

79
00:03:37,070 --> 00:03:34,860
screens all his patients before

80
00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:37,080
considering an implant removal the

81
00:03:44,449 --> 00:03:40,319
individual must have a conscious recall

82
00:03:46,850 --> 00:03:44,459
of some involvement with a UFO or an

83
00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:46,860
abduction scenario over the years the

84
00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:48,780
number of qualified participants have

85
00:03:54,589 --> 00:03:51,840
multiplied Tim Cullen meets the criteria

86
00:03:57,530 --> 00:03:54,599
and agrees to travel to Los Angeles to

87
00:03:59,809 --> 00:03:57,540
have the object removed by Dr Lear

88
00:04:01,610 --> 00:03:59,819
okay when Tim had the surgery scheduled

89
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:01,620
I really wanted to go along with him

90
00:04:07,309 --> 00:04:04,080
because I'm a registered nurse and I

91
00:04:09,470 --> 00:04:07,319
wanted to make sure that everything was

92
00:04:11,929 --> 00:04:09,480
done you know the right techniques were

93
00:04:16,189 --> 00:04:11,939
followed but yes I was apprehensive

94
00:04:17,689 --> 00:04:16,199
about it I am not afraid of anything no

95
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:17,699
matter how they come at it or what they

96
00:04:21,170 --> 00:04:18,959
do

97
00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:21,180
I figured they'd studied me for 20 years

98
00:04:25,370 --> 00:04:23,340
couldn't prove it was an alien implant

99
00:04:27,650 --> 00:04:25,380
until it was taken out you can say what

100
00:04:31,129 --> 00:04:27,660
you want but you got to have proof you

101
00:04:36,530 --> 00:04:33,469
Tim didn't want to tell anybody the

102
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:36,540
story for 20 years for fear of reprisals

103
00:04:44,270 --> 00:04:39,840
against him and his family this was a

104
00:04:46,610 --> 00:04:44,280
very compelling a human scenario which

105
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:46,620
propelled me into doing something for

106
00:04:49,850 --> 00:04:46,880
him

107
00:04:52,670 --> 00:04:49,860
[Music]

108
00:04:54,830 --> 00:04:52,680
day of the surgery a group of ufologists

109
00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:54,840
and journalists assembled to witness the

110
00:04:59,150 --> 00:04:56,639
event

111
00:05:01,490 --> 00:04:59,160
oral surgeon Dr John matriciano is on

112
00:05:03,230 --> 00:05:01,500
hand to perform the procedure he is

113
00:05:05,390 --> 00:05:03,240
skeptical of making an alien connection

114
00:05:06,409 --> 00:05:05,400
to a piece of debris found in the human

115
00:05:09,469 --> 00:05:06,419
body

116
00:05:10,909 --> 00:05:09,479
I'm basically a non-believer you know I

117
00:05:12,350 --> 00:05:10,919
think it's somewhat arrogant of us to

118
00:05:14,270 --> 00:05:12,360
think that if there were some creatures

119
00:05:16,610 --> 00:05:14,280
that come see us way too much you're

120
00:05:18,770 --> 00:05:16,620
going to pass out Cullen is numb for the

121
00:05:22,969 --> 00:05:18,780
entire procedure

122
00:05:22,979 --> 00:05:34,610
would it hurt you no

123
00:05:40,490 --> 00:05:37,730
20 minutes later a quarter inch object

124
00:05:43,550 --> 00:05:40,500
is removed from his wrist according to

125
00:05:45,650 --> 00:05:43,560
Dr Lear the first abnormal sign is the

126
00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:45,660
lack of assist surrounding the object

127
00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:48,240
which in 20 years would have grown to

128
00:05:53,330 --> 00:05:50,639
the size of an almond in a normal

129
00:05:55,969 --> 00:05:53,340
situation where a foreign body has been

130
00:05:58,670 --> 00:05:55,979
inside the human body for a prolonged

131
00:06:01,370 --> 00:05:58,680
period of time there is a fibrous cyst

132
00:06:04,270 --> 00:06:01,380
called an inclusion cyst that forms in

133
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:04,280
this case there was none

134
00:06:09,290 --> 00:06:07,440
looks like a boy to me but Cullen's

135
00:06:11,210 --> 00:06:09,300
humor belies the importance that the

136
00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:11,220
object might mean improving the

137
00:06:16,189 --> 00:06:14,160
existence of alien life and contact with

138
00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:16,199
the human species I really have to have

139
00:06:20,689 --> 00:06:18,720
it analyzed the object is placed in a

140
00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:20,699
plastic vial containing plasma from

141
00:06:25,550 --> 00:06:23,160
Cullen's blood to preserve it

142
00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:25,560
to secure the evidence the implant is

143
00:06:29,570 --> 00:06:27,600
sealed in a tamper-resistant vial in

144
00:06:31,730 --> 00:06:29,580
front of witnesses

145
00:06:34,010 --> 00:06:31,740
Dr Lear takes the specimen to be

146
00:06:35,809 --> 00:06:34,020
analyzed at digital instruments a

147
00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:35,819
research laboratory near Santa Barbara

148
00:06:40,430 --> 00:06:37,919
California they agree to their first

149
00:06:42,350 --> 00:06:40,440
alien implant examination viewing it as

150
00:06:44,930 --> 00:06:42,360
an opportunity to put their new Atomic

151
00:06:47,090 --> 00:06:44,940
Force microscope to the test

152
00:06:51,529 --> 00:06:47,100
so that's the sample here and I'm going

153
00:06:54,890 --> 00:06:51,539
to put him on a bit of epoxy here Dr

154
00:06:57,230 --> 00:06:54,900
Irene rivenko has a PHD in biology and

155
00:06:59,689 --> 00:06:57,240
is also a medical doctor under the

156
00:07:02,629 --> 00:06:59,699
microscope the so-called implant appears

157
00:07:08,270 --> 00:07:02,639
to have some unusual traits

158
00:07:13,370 --> 00:07:10,309
kind of tea this kind of structure on

159
00:07:14,990 --> 00:07:13,380
some metal maybe but in biology I've

160
00:07:17,629 --> 00:07:15,000
never really seen anything like that

161
00:07:19,790 --> 00:07:17,639
puzzled by the lack of a fibrous cyst

162
00:07:22,790 --> 00:07:19,800
she probes what looks like a thin

163
00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:22,800
membrane encasing the object we just got

164
00:07:27,010 --> 00:07:24,780
a little piece of this material and

165
00:07:29,689 --> 00:07:27,020
we're going to let it rain dry in air

166
00:07:30,770 --> 00:07:29,699
this is what we get after a few minutes

167
00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:30,780
in air

168
00:07:35,210 --> 00:07:32,000
and

169
00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:35,220
these parts here is still very squishy

170
00:07:40,790 --> 00:07:37,800
very soft so if I press on the other

171
00:07:43,790 --> 00:07:40,800
part of the tissue here it's very hard

172
00:07:44,990 --> 00:07:43,800
it looks like a resin something like a

173
00:07:47,029 --> 00:07:45,000
plastic

174
00:07:49,129 --> 00:07:47,039
I've never seen this before in human

175
00:07:50,749 --> 00:07:49,139
tissue

176
00:07:52,730 --> 00:07:50,759
a second opinion from a government

177
00:07:55,189 --> 00:07:52,740
laboratory that chooses to remain

178
00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:55,199
anonymous found the object to be highly

179
00:08:00,350 --> 00:07:58,319
unusual amorphous and magnetic a

180
00:08:02,089 --> 00:08:00,360
combination that does not exist in any

181
00:08:04,610 --> 00:08:02,099
form of metal today

182
00:08:07,850 --> 00:08:04,620
exactly what this object is remains

183
00:08:10,129 --> 00:08:07,860
unclear but Dr Lear is hopeful that each

184
00:08:13,730 --> 00:08:10,139
removal brings us closer to the source

185
00:08:16,370 --> 00:08:13,740
of these objects whether Earthly or not

186
00:08:18,589 --> 00:08:16,380
some of the things that we found in the

187
00:08:22,850 --> 00:08:18,599
implant series such as the membrane

188
00:08:26,029 --> 00:08:22,860
which seems to allow a foreign object to

189
00:08:29,390 --> 00:08:26,039
be placed in the human body and prevent

190
00:08:31,610 --> 00:08:29,400
the human body from rejecting it I think

191
00:08:34,250 --> 00:08:31,620
is the most important thing and if we

192
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:34,260
could understand this better and

193
00:08:40,209 --> 00:08:36,360
duplicated why we would have a

194
00:08:42,649 --> 00:08:40,219
tremendous benefit to Medical Science

195
00:08:45,050 --> 00:08:42,659
though the tests are not conclusive

196
00:08:47,150 --> 00:08:45,060
Cullen still believes the implant is

197
00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:47,160
better off in the hands of science than

198
00:08:50,269 --> 00:08:48,959
in his own I'll tell you what their

199
00:08:51,829 --> 00:08:50,279
research on the membrane has made me

200
00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:51,839
feel real good and I think it's only

201
00:08:57,170 --> 00:08:54,959
truly piece of this puzzle that we can

202
00:08:59,690 --> 00:08:57,180
solve for right now

203
00:09:03,110 --> 00:08:59,700
people around him have been very

204
00:09:04,910 --> 00:09:03,120
supportive I was kind of I guess naive

205
00:09:06,410 --> 00:09:04,920
thinking well we'll go to California and

206
00:09:08,269 --> 00:09:06,420
if you have this removed and then we'll

207
00:09:11,269 --> 00:09:08,279
just go back to our little life in Yuma

208
00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:11,279
but that's not the way it's been Tim has

209
00:09:15,530 --> 00:09:13,440
wanted to get the word out about what

210
00:09:18,110 --> 00:09:15,540
happened to him and to get more people

211
00:09:20,750 --> 00:09:18,120
aware of it it's definitely different

212
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:20,760
than life used to be

213
00:09:25,670 --> 00:09:23,040
this is a donation can for Tim Collins

214
00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:25,680
sending him one way to Mars

215
00:09:31,310 --> 00:09:29,040
all donations is welcome Tim I'm going

216
00:09:33,470 --> 00:09:31,320
to present this to you

217
00:09:35,930 --> 00:09:33,480
well thank you Mary since the surgery

218
00:09:38,690 --> 00:09:35,940
Tim Cullen's tale of an alien abduction

219
00:09:41,329 --> 00:09:38,700
has made him a celebrity and a curiosity

220
00:09:43,850 --> 00:09:41,339
in Yuma Colorado although he knows many

221
00:09:46,009 --> 00:09:43,860
are skeptical of his story Cullen says

222
00:09:47,930 --> 00:09:46,019
the event was real and it's happening to

223
00:09:51,170 --> 00:09:47,940
others I wonder if anybody here tonight

224
00:09:53,210 --> 00:09:51,180
has had any experience Barbara Lam is a

225
00:09:54,949 --> 00:09:53,220
regression therapist who specializes in

226
00:09:57,110 --> 00:09:54,959
treating patients who believe they've

227
00:09:59,630 --> 00:09:57,120
had contact with aliens she witnessed

228
00:10:01,550 --> 00:09:59,640
Tim Cullen's surgery and says the time

229
00:10:03,410 --> 00:10:01,560
has come for people to accept the

230
00:10:06,650 --> 00:10:03,420
possibility that abductions are

231
00:10:09,170 --> 00:10:06,660
occurring be as open-minded as possible

232
00:10:12,110 --> 00:10:09,180
about the fact that these very unusual

233
00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:12,120
things are happening I think that there

234
00:10:17,810 --> 00:10:15,360
has been a lot of prejudice about UFOs

235
00:10:27,310 --> 00:10:17,820
and extraterrestrials and people who

236
00:10:32,570 --> 00:10:29,750
her weekly support group has been

237
00:10:34,130 --> 00:10:32,580
growing steadily for five years

238
00:10:38,690 --> 00:10:34,140
I just had

239
00:10:41,509 --> 00:10:38,700
um this really large headed being with

240
00:10:43,490 --> 00:10:41,519
this low chin

241
00:10:45,889 --> 00:10:43,500
um take me on a ship

242
00:10:48,350 --> 00:10:45,899
and then they put me back the people can

243
00:10:51,949 --> 00:10:48,360
discuss their own experiences and

244
00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:51,959
compare notes with other people and when

245
00:10:56,269 --> 00:10:53,760
they talk to other people who've met

246
00:10:58,610 --> 00:10:56,279
some of the same beings or have had some

247
00:11:00,470 --> 00:10:58,620
of the same procedures happen and yet

248
00:11:03,350 --> 00:11:00,480
these people who seem to be very normal

249
00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:03,360
likable functional people that's very

250
00:11:06,829 --> 00:11:05,040
reassuring to each one of the

251
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:06,839
experiencers

252
00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:10,320
at least allow for the possibility that

253
00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:12,480
this could be happening because indeed
