Mr. John Smith is in his 40’s, is married and has 3 children. The subject has a strong technical background, and is currently a researcher in the Materials Science field.

The subject has had a lifelong history of UFO sightings and missing time experiences.

On the night of February 28, 2008, Mr. Smith was alone in his house. About 10:30 PM, he sighted two unusually large raccoons in the avocado tree in his back yard. He fed the animals and observed for them for some time. Mr. Smith then went to bed and slept until approximately 8:00 AM the following morning.

Upon awakening, Mr. Smith noticed a burning pain in the tip of his left, second toe, and a soreness on the right side of his head. Inspection revealed two apparent puncture wounds on the underside of the end of the left, second toe and a scratch on its right side. One of the puncture wounds in the toe was found to fluoresce green under ultraviolet (UV) illumination.

Over the next four days the pain in the toe increased and it felt as if a strong electric shock was occurring whenever any weight was placed on the end of the affected toe. The pain lasted for four days after the incident and decreased slowly thereafter.

Mr. Smith then saw Dr. Roger Leir who obtained X-rays of Mr. Smith’s left foot. A small (~3 mm) foreign object showed up on the X-rays under the end of the distal phalanx bone of the left, second toe.

The object resembled a bent piece of wire on the X-ray. Dr. Leir commented that the object had approximately the same X-ray density as human bone.

A subsequent CAT scan of the left foot confirmed the presence of a foreign object in the same toe.

Gaussmeter and radio frequency analyzer (RF) tests were done on the object on August 21, 2008, by Dr. Leir at his Thousand Oaks office while it was still in Mr. Smith’s body. These tests indicated that the object was emitting radio waves in the Gigahertz, Megahertz, and Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) bands. The object also generated a magnetic field of > 10 mGauss.

The object in Mr. Smith’s toe was removed surgically on September 6, 2008, by Dr. Roger Leir and Dr. John Matriciano. The object was apparently brittle and broke into 12 pieces during the removal process.

Pathology tests on the tissue surrounding the object showed no inflammation or immunological reaction by the subject’s body due to the presence of the object.

The pieces of the object turned black, and then red while in refrigerated storage in blood serum taken from Mr. Smith. Within 12 hours of removal, the pieces of the object lined up in their original order, as if trying to re-assemble themselves.

One of the pieces of the object was given to the author of this report for analysis.

Mr. Smith stated that after the object was removed there was a definite, but subtle change in his mood and thought processes, and that he felt more like his "old self."
