Apr 29, 2016 at 8:42 comment added user14111 In Planet Comics 43, July 1946, Marcia Reynolds is abducted by aliens and, on p. 16, given a thorough medical examination: "THEN THE TESTS . . . TESTS BY HEAT, BY COLD, BY STRESS . . . NEUROSCOPES, KINETOGRAPHS, MACHINES AND SCREENS TO PROBE BODY AND MIND . . ." But we don't actually see any slender instrument inserted in her body, and for all we know the word "probe" is used here in a general sense meaning "investigate", so I can't offer this as an answer, only a comment.
