bizarre experiments, and they're not
softening us up for an invasion. No,
they're here to help us, at alien med-
ical clinics around the world.
Want to know something really
cool? A lot of the alien docs have
adopted Hebrew names, in addition to
their real ones. On his site, Dvir
describes some of them. X3, the head
physician at one alien clinic, goes by
the name of Dov. If you're the kind of
patient who worries about credentials,
never fear; he did his medical training
on Sirius.
Then there's Nathan and Shmaya,
asexual creatures, who are sort of like
orderlies, only from a different dimen-
sion.
The site opens with a picture of
Dvir, an ordinary, somewhat geeky-
looking guy.
Cruising down the opening page,
you'll see links to information about
such subjects as alien implants (Dvir
has had five of them — sort of like
humans tagging birds, he writes) and
light-speed travel.
He reveals that there are about 15
alien clinics in Israel alone. A news
flash at the bottom of the page

ow do you say, "Take me
to your leader" in Hebrew?
Just ask Adrian Dvir, a
computer engineer in
Israel who is also a psychic and a heal-
er.
His partners? Space aliens who
reside in a parallel dimension, but may
do house calls.
You can read all about Dvir's
unique medical partnership at his
"Aliens Contact" Web site.
It began in the early 1990s, when
Dvir began to communicate — tele-
pathically, and then on the telephone
— with ETs (extra-terrestrials).
See, we have it all wrong. Aliens
don't abduct earthlings and perform

describes a call on his cell phone from
a possible alien.
You can also read selected chapters
in English from his 450-page Hebrew-
language book describing his odyssey
from psychic experimentation to alien
healing. And Dvir includes comments
and questions from surfers who visit
the site.
Want to know what the aliens
think about human religion? That's
here, too.
Let's face it: when it comes to
aliens in our midst, you either
believe or you don't. This site isn't
likely to change anybody's mind, but
it's an interesting and entertaining
