California podiatric surgeon (1934-2014) who from July 1995 performed seventeen removals of small objects from people reporting abduction. Described membrane-sheathed objects the scalpel would not cut, some reportedly emitting electromagnetic fields, with laboratory analyses (routed through NIDS and Los Alamos) claiming anomalous isotope ratios. The claims carry chain-of-custody problems and little independent replication; Closer Encounters reads the altered-isotope reports, following Vallee, as evidence of hidden terrestrial industry.
