          :appeared, ordered him aboard their craft, examined him for:
          :several hours and then returned him.                      :

          :into his abdomen that remained there for years without    :
          :discomfort, finally working its way through his skin in   :
          :1989.  The material is now in the hands of a physicist from
          :the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who is trying to
          :identify it.                                              :

          :       Whatever happened, Price said for many years people:
          :scoffed at his story and he went for long periods of time :

          :also, until he began getting some exposure.               :

          :headed negativism, refusal to consider the possibility,"  :
          :Berliner said.                                            :
