A new study claims to have uncovered non-human alien DNA, and it could potentially be affecting millions of people across the globe.

Dr. Max Rempel, a molecular biologist with a PhD from the Institute of Gene Biology in Moscow, says he found “non-human” genetic sequences in 11 families while analyzing data from the 1,000 Genomes Project. His report, published by his nonprofit DNA Resonance Research Foundation, has not yet been peer-reviewed.

Rempel claims that in those families, large DNA sequences appeared that didn’t match either parent. The anomalies, 348 in total, can’t be explained by known genetic recombination or by gene-editing tech like CRISPR, since some cases date back to before the 1990s.

Rempel suggests the unusual DNA segments could be the result of extraterrestrial interference, possibly explaining reports of people with heightened perception or even telepathic ability.

“Humanity may be undergoing genetic transformation,” Rempel told The Daily Mail. “If confirmed, it may be possible to detect which humans carry alien DNA, essentially identifying hybrids.”

Alien DNA may have been “inserted” into humans

Rempel’s foundation also analyzed data from 23andMe users who claimed to have been abducted by aliens. Some showed what he calls “non-parental markers,” while others didn’t, which he suggests could mean extraterrestrial “insertions” might target specific bloodlines.

Even some UFO researchers are skeptical. “Alien abduction experiences can stem from a variety of terrestrial factors,” said Nigel Watson, author of Portraits of Alien Encounters Revisited. Watson added that technical errors or contamination could explain the anomalies just as easily.

Rempel admits the study is preliminary and based on public datasets. “We need better data,” he said. Still, he believes next-generation sequencing could reveal whether alien DNA truly exists in humans.

The scientists further stated that people with neurodivergent traits like ADHD and Autism could carry these genetic insertions.

While talk of aliens may sound absurd, even NASA believes it found possible evidence of ancient alien life on Mars.
