Arizona: Laboratory analysis of biological substance from alleged entity

Scientific examination of reddish specimens from the 2008 Arizona encounter was conducted by W.C. Levengood during April and July 2009. Infrared spectroscopy revealed protein-based composition similar to human blood. The analysis indicated biological origin with predominating protein components and trace lipids.

Background

During telephone consultations on 13 April 2009 and 13 July 2009, researcher W.C. Levengood evaluated specimens collected from the purported 2008 entity encounter. Using infrared spectroscopy techniques, the laboratory investigation determined that the crimson material constituted a biologically derived substance. Protein formed the primary constituent, with minimal lipid presence detected. The chemical signature closely resembled whole blood, though the investigator recommended additional DNA testing to establish definitive identification. This represents one of the few laboratory examinations of alleged extraterrestrial biological residue.
