The various parts of the body are taken to underground laborato- ries, one of which is known to be near the small New Mexico town of Dulce. This jointly-occupied [CIA-alien] facility has been de- scribed as enormous, with huge tiled walls that "go on forever." 58 REVELATIONS He looked at me with a quizzical smile. He did not say to my face that it was ridiculous; instead he put it more gently. "Jacques, if that's true, then I must go back to medical school." I pressed him. "What would happen if you did such a transfusion?" "Instant immunological shock," he answered without hesitation. "The patient would die?" "In minutes." So much for John Lear's statements in a field where the facts were available to anyone who would take the trouble to check them. A simple phone call to the nearest blood bank would have established the truth. What does that imply for the reliability of such so-called research in more complex matters? There is a firm called Biopure that extracts hemoglobin from cow blood, but it does not propose to inject pure cattle blood into human veins. The hemoglobin would be treated and used separately as a mere supplement in human transfusions. One of the major problems in the use of such animal products has to do with the contamination of cattle by a disease called BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy). Some- body should definitely tell the aliens about BSE before they catch it. Furthermore, biological research on earth is close to putting on the market various human blood substitutes. Japan, the largest importer of blood in the world, has led this research out of concern with the contamination of the blood supply with the HIV virus in recent years. Two Japanese companies, Ajinomoto and Fujirebio, have created a joint venture to market a blood substitute based on human hemoglobin. Shouldn't we assume that any aliens smart enough to fly over here from some faraway planet would know as much as we do in this respect? John Lear is not bothered by such considerations. He has been told that, following the abductions and the mutilations:
