I would simply say, that if the least probable explanation is true, and that would be ET origin of these things, then they are not "exotic" enough to scream Alien Implant. This may be by design, who knows? Maybe they are implants that are so advanced they appear to be nothing more than pebbles that contain a conglomerate of materials once examined, but nothing recognizable to us as a "probe" or anything.

There are a few ways people can find objects are lodged inside the body or under the skin. For decades there's a medical term foreign bodies. The ones in the link are ingested and X-rayed. Children can swallow something that shows up years later...grit, glass, metal pellets anything. People in or near vehicle traffic accidents can have small fragments of glass and/ or metal penetrate the skin and become lost in the general injuries on the skin surface. People in the Military have discovered shrapnel via unrelated X-Rays years later.
In a list of explanations for how a foreign body is found inside a human...'aliens put it there' is not quite at the top.

So people who have described being part of an alien abduction... go in for surgery and have a foreign item removed from their body which seemingly was not from this planet.... and the implant seemed to have intelligence where it appeared to avoid being removed whilst under surgery..... and you reckon it's just shrapnel from when they were a kid
I love these debunkers..... come up with "theories" on everything with not the smallest bit of evidence to back up their theory........ anything as long as it doesn't require them to give the answer of "I can't explain maybe it really is an alien implant". Noisy Negativists.

So you're 100%, unquestionable in regards to alien implants?
All Kadinsky implied was that there are very logical, very *plausable* explanations as to how and why certain items can be found in the human body.
Sure, not everything fits that model, but it's still far more likely. That isn't to say the alien motif is 'impossible' - it's just unlikely.
Die-hard believers are just as bad as die-hard debunkers.
A good analysis should attempt to use all available means to first eliminate any everyday, logical and probably explanation first. They, when there is no other probably or likley explanation, then you can move on to the ET side.

This is why "logical explanations" is the biggest pile of crock. It PROVES nothing... all it does is placate the average Skeptic into believing that maybe they are right and it's not something for which they don't believe in. It's all about EGO.

Well, not trying to flame you or anything, but that last bit just made me push away from the table and walk away, metaphorically speaking.
It's not about "placating" the average Skeptic. It's about showing you've taken a scientific, empirical approach to your analysis and attempted to show, to the best of your ability, that the phenomena in question is NOT explainable through conventional or everyday means.
I'm certainly not calling your opinions into question - that's what you believe then so be it.
All I am saying is that skeptics are a very valuable asset to this type of analysis.
Of course anyone being a skeptic for the purpose of just being obstinant isn't useful. But someone who makes you re-evaluate your analysis is always a good thing.
