His 40 years of research has focused on physical evidence, and led to his groundbreaking discoveries of alleged alien implants and alien fluorescence. A former police officer and CIA operative, Sims has a unique insight to the alien organization which he believes functions similarly to an intelligence agency. Sims is also a compassionate and skilled therapist who has helped hundreds of alien experiencers all over the world come to terms with what they've witnessed. Though known for animated presentations laced with homespun humor, UFO researcher Derrel Sims has a serious message: some aliens are deceptive, and in pursuit of their own agenda with little regard for human casualties. In 1994, a journalist dubbed the controversial Texan “the Alien Hunter, ” a name that aptly characterizes Sims’ pro-active approach. {{Reflist}

Sims dates his interest in UFOs from his first encounter with “aliens” when he was 4 years old. He credits his fully-conscious recall of numerous abduction events with providing his initial clues to the nature of the phenomenon, though his own visitations ended violently at age 17. From 1968-71, Sims served in the army as a Senior Military Police Officer and in a top-secret capacity with the CIA. A dispute over his refusal to conceal his religious faith from the civilian population resulted in a congressional investigation. According to Sims, “The CIA and I did not part on good terms,” and he refers to the incident to refute allegations that he is still working for the intelligence community.

He married his high school sweetheart, Doris, in 1970, and settled in Houston, Texas, where they both trained in a variety of therapeutic disciplines. Sims received certifications as a Hypnotherapist, a Master Hypnotist, a Medical Hypnotherapist, a Hypno-anesthesia Therapist and a Master Practitioner in Neurolinguistic Programming. Sims was also licensed as a private investigator, process server and bounty hunter, work he continues to the present day.

When Sims came to believe that his own 5-year-old son was a victim of alien abduction, his “alien hunt” began in earnest. He formed Saber Enterprises, and began counseling alleged alien experiencers free of charge, while at the same time gathering physical evidence of their experiences. He became Chief of Abduction Investigations for the Houston UFO Network, and while heading the HUFON support group, claimed to initiate alien contact through the use of hypnotic suggestions inserted into a volunteer’s subconscious. The purported result was a spectacular double “mass abduction” in December of 1992, involving 7 individuals in two states, and offering numerous points of verification.

In 1994, Sims addressed an American Medical Association Conference at John Muir Hospital in the San Francisco Bay Area on “The Medical Complications of Alleged Human/Alien Contact.” He amazed an audience of surgeons, doctors, nurses and other medical professionals when he made several predictions about alleged alien implants that seemed medically impossible. Among them were that these objects would have no discernible point of entry; that surrounding tissue would exhibit no inflammatory response, either chronic or acute; and that there would be cells present in the area not native to that part of the body. These predictions would prove to be accurate.

By 1995, Sims had collected an assortment of artifacts, either expelled naturally from the body or from previous surgeries, which he suspected were of extraterrestrial origin. He orchestrated the first public removal of alleged alien implants in Camarillo, California, with two surgeries, and then three more in 1996. Test results from Los Alamos Laboratory and New Mexico Institute of Technology revealed some of the objects to be “meteoric in origin” with unusual elemental composition. Sims emphasizes that additional testing is still needed, and has stated unequivocally that though the purpose and function of the implants remains unknown, “They’re not tracking devices.”

Sims also discovered the phenomenon of fluorescence on those claiming recent alien contact. In some cases, a black light shined on the skin following an abduction reveals subdermal traces, usually of brilliant green and occasionally forming specific patterns, which Sims speculates could be a kind of alien “secretion.” He has collected samples from human skin, as well as on objects which exhibit similar properties of indelibility. So far, while testing has not revealed the composition or source of these traces, in many cases prosaic examples have been ruled out.

As part of his continuing work to refine methodology among mental health practitioners dealing with abductees, he accepted an invitation to join PARSEC, a European organization of medical professionals. Sims relies on a “Dream Team” of international consultants from a variety of academic, medical, and scientific disciplines to assist him in his on-going research. His contributions to ufology are featured in exhibits in the UFO Museum in Hakui, Japan, and the Roswell UFO Museum in New Mexico. He is a member of the International Association of Counselors & Therapists, and the National Board for Hypnotherapy & Hypnotic Anesthesiology. He continues to head up an online support group for alien abductees, and makes it a priority to assist in helping those suffering from a form of PTSD as a result of their unexplained experiences.

Sims is a frequent media guest on radio, television and in print. With co-author Patricia Gray, RN, he's released two books, Alien Hunter: Evidence and Truth About Alien Implants, and Alien Hunter: Evidence in Light.
