One in four people has been abducted by aliens, alien abduction runs in families and the aliens are not our friends. These are just three beliefs of Houston's resident alien hunter Derrel Sims.

It looks like a second season of his network TV series Uncovering Aliens on the Discovery Network is on the cards with ratings from the first series "strong" according to his people.

Sims spent Friday out in Central Texas testing out new UFO-hunting night-vision equipment but his media rep Jolene Ray Harrington confirmed that a second season is likely.

"We don't have a green light but it looks like there probably will be another group of shows," said Harrington.

Sims is one of four alien investigators on the show who travel the U.S. interviewing potential abductees about their experience.

Sporting full Texan regalia, cowboy hat, shirt and neck tie and with four decades of experience, he claims to be one of the world's leading experts on UFOs.

"My first interaction with these entities was at age 4 in Midland, Texas," Sims told KPRC, "I suspect they're living on a massive craft."

Sims claims one in four people have been abducted by aliens at some point in their life.

"You usually find markings on these people, cuts, bruises, scratches, lumps, bumps, and things that don't make sense," Sims said.

The first run of Uncovering Aliens climaxed with Sims arguing the friendliness of aliens with fellow UFO hunter Steven Jones. Jones believes the aliens are our friends, not out to hurt us.

For Sims, people who think like that are just victims of alien programming, people who he can work with to get to the truth.

"You would be shocked, stunned and amazed to find out who's on my list of clients," Sims said. "There are scientists, intelligence people, NASA scientists and others who are abductees. It doesn't make a difference. You can be a genius," Sims told KPRC.

If you fear you may have been abducted before, Sims offers an online questionnaire to help you confirm or rule out extraterrestrials from your life.

Houston's alien hunter also suggests that if you think you have, it's likely someone in your family also does.
