� �
�HISTORY: This specimen was obtained from a female subject on �
�December 11, 1992. The subject will herein be referred to as �
�DS92009LT. The subject reported recovering the object from �
�her eye on the morning of December 11, 1992. She stated that �
�she awakened with an irritation and while rubbing her eye, �
�a small particle, about the size of a mustard seed, was �
�recovered. The specimen was turned over to Derrel Sims, Chief �
�Abductions Investigator, Houston UFO Network. The specimen �
�was photographed and stored in a plastic case. �
� �
�Subject DS92009LT reported to have been part of a mass �
�abduction in Houston, Texas on the night of December 8, 1992. �
�The subject reports that an implant was placed behind one of �
�her eyes during the abduction. The complete report on the �
�mass abduction of December 8, 1992 can be obtained under �
�separate cover. �
� �
�PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The specimen has been viewed �
�under a standard light and stereoscopic microscopes. It �
�appears flesh toned with an "egg" shape, approximately �
�1 - 1.5mm in length, and has a hollow interior. The apex has �
�been truncated and lateral splitting from the apical area �
�distally is noted. �
� �
�The exterior of the specimen appears different from the �
�interior. The exterior is smooth and non-porous with a �
�mottled appearance. The interior has a spongy "honey- �
�combed" appearance, and is lighter in contrast to the exterior. �
�The specimen is resilient and does not permanently deform �
�with pressure or manipulation. �
� �
�PHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS: �
�Length: 1-1.5mm �
�Height: .25-.5mm (at highest point) �
�Width: .25-.5mm (at widest point) �
�Weight: N/A �
�Specific Gravity: N/A �
�Tensile Strength: N/A* �
�Melting Point: N/A* �
�Solubility: N/A* �
� �
�N/A* = potentially destructive measurements �
� �
�TAXONOMY: The specimen was taken to the Department of �
�Biology at the University of Houston. It was examined by �
�several doctoral and post-doctoral students. The specimen did �
�not fit any known taxonomic classification. It was determined �
�that the specimen was not biological. �
�QUALITATIVE ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS: Qualitative elemental �
�analysis was performed on April 14, 1992 at the �
�Superconductivity Laboratory, University of Houston, using an �
�electron microprobe. A small sample was taken from the �
�specimen for analysis. Microprobes were taken from various �
�locations on the sample, and are considered to be �
�representative of the specimen. �
� �
�The following elements were found throughout the probe. This �
�list does not reflect any particular order or percentages. �
� �
�1) Carbon* �
�2) Oxygen* �
�3) Silicon** �
�4) Titanium** �
�5) Barium** �
�6) Beryllium*** �
�7) Sulphur*** �
�8) Aluminum*** �
� �
�* Primary constituents �
�** Secondary constituents �
�*** Tertiary constituents �
� �
�Although absolute percentages of elements cannot be �
�determined with this method, the specimen appeared to be �
�carbon rich, suggesting that it is organic. The other earth �
�elements are suspected to be present in trace quantities �
�only, but have been determined to be part of the specimen and �
�not contaminants. However, this hypothesis cannot be �
�substantiated without quantitative analysis. �
� �
�The probe also determined that the material was electrically �
�non-conductive. �
� �
�ANOMALIES: There are a few notable anomalies in the �
�specimen. It is unusual for titanium and silicon to be present in �
�a compound which is carbon rich and containing oxygen. It is �
�also not consistent with the textural features of the �
�specimen. Compounds containing titanium and silicon tend to �
�be much more rigid and brittle. Also, the presence of �
�beryllium is unusual in that it is normally found only in �
�compounds which are electrically conductive. �
� �
�SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS: The specimen obtained from �
�subject DS92009LT is an ovoid, flesh-toned object approximately �
�1-1.5 mm in length with a hollow core. Based on taxonomic �
�examination it is non-biological. Qualitative analysis �
�suggests a carbon rich non-conductive material with some �
�unusual combinations of trace elements. The substance is most �
�likely a high molecular weight organic compound. Polymers �
�(plastics) are the most likely compounds to fit the elemental �
�profile. �
� �
�RECOMMENDATIONS: �
� �
�1. Determine if the specimen is a polymer. This may be �
� accomplished through HPLC (high pressure liquid �
� chromatography) if a sample of the specimen is soluble in �
� an organic solvent. �
� �
�2. Consultation with a polymer chemist for additional tests �
� which may be available. �
