According to Webster the term ‘fluorescence’ refers to the property of a substance emitting light after absorbing it.
Such fluorescence is sometimes present in alien abduction cases. Markings that fluoresce have appeared on the skin of abductees. The marks emit light (glow) after they are exposed to a black light (ultra-violet light).
In 1992, Derrel W. Sims and his medical & scientific team first began documenting the appearance of these fluorescent markings on the skin of several human beings who reported having alien encounters.
As his work progressed, he and the team noted that individuals appeared to receive the fluorescent markings via two methods:
- Procedural contact
- Casual contact
Further study defined these categories as follows:
- Procedural Contact, where the medical-like activities of the alleged alien left corresponding fluorescent marks.
- Casual contact, where the alien touches the abducted person and leaves a fluorescent mark.
DESCRIPTIONS
Descriptions of some of the fluorescing images that appeared on the abductees’
bodies were as follows:
- Unusual symbols
- Hand shaped marks with elongated fingers. (Some abductees claimed the the marks were located on parts of their bodies which were restrained by the aliens’ hands).
- Random shapes & pin-point wounds (claimed by the abductees to be injection sites)
The marks require the use of a black light (UV light) to illuminate them for examination.
EFFECTS OF THE SUBSTANCE
Typically, the abductee’s first reaction to the markings is to remove them.
However, unlike other fluorescent substances that have a reasonable explanation for their presence on the skin (such as Band-Aid adhesive); this substance does not dissipate regardless of the application of various cleaning compounds and vigorous scrubbing. The fluorescent material is embedded in the dermal layers of the skin and will eventually be absorbed by the body.
PROPERTIES OF THE SUBSTANCE
LONGEVITY: Although in rare cases the markings have been visible for up to two weeks, their normal duration runs from a period of 2 to 24 hours.
COLORATION: The color of this glowing substance varies. Yellow-green has been the most common color in samples collected to date.
Fluorescence is not found on every abductee nor does it occur with each event. An investigator who knows what to look for will often find additional physical evidence.
If you believe you or a loved one has come into contact with such a substance and you would like to obtain more detailed information regarding this and other forms of physical evidence,
