Strange Body

May 1979 the city of angels was shaken by serious race riots during those riots. elvira evers, 39 years old and wounded in the stomach, was transferred to the saint francis medical center because she was pregnant and fearing for the life of the child, she underwent a cesarean section and it was then that the surgeons verified that the newborn had a bullet lodged in her elbow, a fact that deserved front-page headlines and would have an even more curious history and even paranormal overtones [Music] a baby born in Belgium in mid-1987 always experienced problems with underweight and heart problems that worsened to the point that surgery was necessary, due to his young age and the risks that a coronary intervention entails for someone as young as 10 months Dr. Andrew Menot from the brussels state clinic warned parents not to hold out much hope the operation took place on september 21, 1987 and the first surprise for the team of doctors was that they found no abnormalities in the heart, coronary arteries or ventricles with the sole exception of a spherical foreign body lodged in the aorta that obstructed circulation and was immediately removed, managing to improve almost completely. The infant's physical condition and cardiac function were immediately presumed at first by both Dr. Menot and his colleagues to assume that the 1.5-centimeter obstruction was a buildup of calcium, but when cleaned and subjected to laboratory tests it turned out to be metallic [ Music] no less strange was that it seemed to be an old musket ball identical to the projectiles of this type of weapon used in 1775 by counterrevolutionary English troops from the North American colonies during that country's war of independence, but if that were true, how it had ended up in the body of a newborn in Belgium more than 200 years later. When something so incredible was known, all kinds of speculation arose, including that such a finding of being authentic could be proof of reincarnation like this and in a previous life that Belgian baby would have been an American combatant killed by a bullet in the heart during the war of independence of that country [Applause] Although Dr. Menot flatly rejected such a fanciful hypothesis, he would also admit that he was unable to explain how that metallic sphere had lodged in the newborn's body, the mother who did not present scars or entry points in the His body was not able to justify that either, the case gave much to talk about and as far as we know it was never denied or explained, later the forensic authorities in Belgium endorsed the details that we have summarized today. But it was that metallic sphere actually fired by a British musket during the American war of independence, that is something that has not been absolutely proven of course, but even so the concrete fact, although inexplicable, well, it defies all logic, it is that if a steroid projectile was extracted from the body of a baby in Belgium in mid-1987 and it was subsequently verified that said bullet had been manufactured in England two centuries earlier, the enigma lies in how and why it ended up in the child's body.
