Colbern, a chemist, analysed objects removed by the podiatrist Roger Leir and reports isotope ratios and nanostructures he considers anomalous. He also describes his own regression and an object removed from his foot. None of the analyses has appeared in a peer-reviewed journal; the corpus presents them as his findings.

Interviews and appearances

Claims made

  • Colbern testified that after a night of watching unnaturally large raccoons in his Fillmore backyard he woke with toe pain, that an X-ray showed a bent-wire object, and that the object was removed with funding from Jaime Maussan.

      It looked like a bent piece of wire on the x-ray. And um um I didn't remember um
  • Under regressive hypnosis, Colbern recalled two small greys calling him outside, a 50-foot craft over his avocado tree, a blue-green tractor beam, and a tall grey placing the toe device with a stainless-steel instrument with fiber optics down its center.

      two um small gray beings came into my room and um woke me up and said,
  • Colbern stated that he and Leir wrote a paper on an implant analysis and submitted it to the Journal of Scientific Exploration, which first expressed excitement and then rejected it as ridiculous, which he reads as suppression.

      they um first they first they said they were excited to have it. Then I think somebody got to them
  • Steve Colbern stated that Dr. Roger Leir, a Thousand Oaks podiatrist recruited to the subject by Derrel Sims, removed 17 objects from 17 people over about 20 years, and that Colbern attended the last three removal surgeries including his own.

    FACT contested 2026

    • 0:35:13 Meet The Scientist Who Studies Alien Implants in Human Bodies · Steve Colbern
      He removed a total of I believe 17 from uh 17 different
  • Colbern stated that his own instrumental analyses of the toe object and other Leir objects found isotope ratios skewed up to 30% off terrestrial norms (boron, copper among the elements), carbon nanotubes inside a meteoric-iron core, nerve cells grown into the devices, and zero inflammatory response in the host tissue.

      turned out to have very um skewed isotopic ratios
  • Colbern stated that after the event his house showed anomalous magnetization — the avocado tree trunk and leaves, stainless-steel knives, and wood cabinetry — which he reads as residue of fields beyond a certain strength.

    FACT thin 2026

    • 0:34:04 Meet The Scientist Who Studies Alien Implants in Human Bodies · Steve Colbern
      we found all kinds of anomalies, anomalous magnetic fields, um leaves and the uh the trunk of the avocado tree had become magnetized
  • The objects recovered by Leir's circle are non-terrestrial nanotechnological devices — the world-claim of the implant research line.

      to the extent that it looked like it probably came from another part of the galaxy, not just another planet.
  • Colbern stated, as the field's arithmetic, that about 3% of Americans have been abducted (Leir's estimate), that roughly one in a thousand are 'class 2 experiencers' with implants, yielding on the order of 350,000 implanted people in the US.

    INFERENCE thin 2026

    • 0:49:27 Meet The Scientist Who Studies Alien Implants in Human Bodies · Steve Colbern
      they've abducted about 3% of the American population according to Dr.
