In a provocative new study that’s raising eyebrows across the scientific community, a researcher suggests that extraterrestrial beings may have tampered with human DNA, inserting alien genetic material that could be affecting millions of people today.

The claims, detailed in a non-peer-reviewed paper, come amid a surge in UFO sightings and draw parallels to science fiction tropes of hybrid humans and psychic abilities.

Dr. Max Rempel, founder and CEO of the DNA Resonance Research Foundation and a PhD holder from the Institute of Gene Biology in Moscow, Russia, analyzed genetic data from 581 families in the 1,000 Genomes Project.

He identified 11 families with large sequences of DNA that didn’t match either parent, including a cluster of 348 non-parental genetic variants. These individuals were born before 1990, predating modern gene-editing tools like CRISPR, which only emerged in 2013.

Rempel extended his research to 23andMe results from people who self-identify as alien abductees, finding similar non-parental markers in some cases.

He theorizes that this could indicate deliberate alien intervention, potentially granting abilities like telepathy—reminiscent of characters in films such as Ellen Ripley in “Alien Resurrection.”

“Humanity may be undergoing genetic transformation,” Rempel told the Daily Mail.

He speculates that neurodivergent conditions like autism, ADHD, and Asperger’s might be linked to these insertions, though he emphasizes this is speculative.

If verified, Rempel believes it could enable the detection of “hybrid” humans carrying alien DNA, echoing plots from classics like “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” and “They Live.”

To advance his work, Rempel calls for next-generation sequencing (NGS) or whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on parents and children who claim abduction experiences.

Current commercial services lack the precision needed, and accessing better datasets requires approvals that demand time and resources. As of now, he admits there’s “no conclusive evidence yet.”

The implications, if true, could reshape our understanding of human evolution and society. Rempel urges consideration of “how much alien hybridization is healthy for the planet, and which alien races we might give priority.”

Not everyone is convinced. Nigel Watson, author of “Portraits of Alien Encounters Revisited,” cautions that “alien abduction experiences can stem from a variety of terrestrial factors.”

He adds, “We need to carefully verify these accounts before drawing conclusions about DNA.” Still, Watson acknowledges that further research on volunteer abductees could be groundbreaking, potentially “as world-shattering as recovering a flying saucer.”

The theory aligns with other fringe ideas, such as the controversial Nazca mummies in Peru, which some claim contain a mix of human and alien DNA. However, skeptics point to the study’s small sample size and reliance on anecdotal evidence from abductees.
