Peter Khoury, the President of UFOESA, is himself an abductee. In 1988 Peter had an experience that involved two types of beings, telepathic communication, time loss and 'scoop' marks on his leg. This experience led Peter to search for the truth about the UFO phenomenon. Peter discussed his 1988 experience with a number of professionals and realised the need for support. |

The DNA Anaylsis - Part 1
By Bill Chalker
The analysis by the Anomaly Physical Evidence Group (APEG) was perfomed on mitochondrial DNA. As ex-plained in The Gene Letter, Vol. 1, No. 2 (www.geneletter. org/0996/adameve.htm), “Mitochondria are small energy-engines that live outside the nucleus of the cell and have their own DNA, which is distinct from chromosomal DNA. . . .
Although both sexes have them, mitochondria are transmitted only by women.” (For those who want to read more about PCR, I suggest Making PCR: A Story of Bio-technology, by Paul Rabinow (1996), or Kary Mullis’s article, “The Unusual Origin of the Polymerase Chain Reaction,” in Scientific American, April 1990.)
The mitochondrial DNA sequence analysis utilizing PCR has found some intriguing results. It is important for the integrity of the research that the full report be printed below, but some of the key results are listed here. . . . mitochondrial DNA analysis of the hair shaft from a reportedly tall, blonde alien female shows that she is biologically close to normal human genetics, but of an unusual racial type. . . .
One might predict further that her DNA should match closely that of racial types in Finland, Iceland, or Scandinavia, given the long, thin blonde hair as direct evidence, plus her tall stature and fair skin from eyewitness testimony, but . . . that seems not to be the case. . . .
The blonde hair provides for a strange and unusual DNA sequence, showing five consistent sub-stitutions from a human consensus (present in all cloned sequences), which could not easily have come from anyone else in the Sydney area except by the rarest of chances; is not apparently due to any sort of laboratory contamination; and is found only in a few other people throughout the whole world.
What implications might these comparisons have for possible authenticity of the alien hair sample as collected by the young man in Sydney in 1992? While it would not be impossible for him to have had sexual contact with some fair-skinned, nearly albino female from the Sydney area, such an explanation is ruled out by the DNA evidence, which fits only a Chinese Mongoloid as a donor of the hair.
Furthermore, while it might be possible to find a few Chinese in Sydney with the same DNA as seen in just 4% of Taiwanese women, it would not be plausible to find a Chinese woman here with thin, almost clear hair, having the same rare DNA. Finally, that thin blonde hair could not plausibly represent a chemically bleached Chinese (including the root), because then it’s DNA could not easily have been extracted.
The most probable donor of the hair must therefore be as the young man claims: a tall blonde female who does not need much color in her hair or skin as a form of protection against the sun, perhaps because she does not require it. Could this young man really have provided, by chance, a hair sample which contains DNA from one of the rarest human lineages known . . . that lies further from the mainstream than any other except for African Pygmies and aboriginals?
While we have made some advances in understanding abduction cases, I think we are still far from knowing exactly what is involved. Other UFO researchers are not so hesitant. They feel they already have answers and that we are dealing with apparent extraterrestrials. Many researchers argue that the richness of the human mind and dynamic interplay with researchers is spawning these accounts, not aliens.
The UFO abduction mystery is not simply the product of one investigator or an artifact of regressive hypnosis. Many cases involve witnesses with conscious recall of their abduction experiences-as with Peter Khoury-and some include odd physical evidence, but none perhaps as well documented as this report. I am an advocate of careful, serious, and thorough inquiry into such experiences. Until such investigations and support become the norm rather than the exception, abduction experiences will continue to be a marginalized fringe controversy.
Peter Khoury, Kelly Cahill, and others like them deserve better than the polarized extremes we have now of uncritical belief and ignorant skepticism. Science can be a powerful tool in trying to determine what is happening in the bizarre phenomenon of alien abductions.
MITOCHONDRIAL DNA SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF A SHED HAIR
FROM AN ALIEN ABDUCTION CASE -
Performed by the Anomaly Physical Evidence Group (APEG), in April 1999.
A great controversy currently exists as to whether the many reported alien abduction cases worldwide might be physically real or else purely psychological phenomena. Thus, those people who believe in the UFO alien scenario tend to accept the investigations of authors such as Budd Hopkins or John Mack, who have provided circumstantial evidence for the abduction of humans in terms of:
(a) landing-site traces,
(b) prominent “biopsy” scars,
(c) alleged “implants” (or artifacts ostensibly removed from abducted people), and
(d) testimonies from hundreds of supposedly abducted individuals, whether by conscious recall or under hypnosis.
However, those people who do not believe in the UFO alien scenario (and this would include the majority of professional scientists) tend not to accept the current evidence for alien abductions, seeing it as too weak and circumstantial to justify such a major shift in their way of perceiving the world.
Indeed, these supposed abductions leave surprisingly little evidence that could be tested in a scientific laboratory, according to standard procedures; hence, if real they might be intentionally covert in nature.
The detailed analysis of any reliable evidence from an alien abduction case might therefore be of great scientific value, in order to assess the reality of this phenomenon, as well as to identify the biological nature of such visitors.
A DETAILED CASE STUDY
One such piece of physical evidence was obtained recently from an alien abduction case in Sydney, Australia, in 1992, when supposedly two near human females appeared suddenly to a young man in daylight in his bedroom. This same individual had previously in 1988 experienced an event in which several aliens had entered his house and had ostensibly obtained “biopsy” material, while his family in the next room was put to sleep.
He reported the experience to a number of people, including local investigator and researcher Bill Chalker (3).
After that event, a fresh “punch-biopsy” scar was noted on the shin of the young man’s lower leg, and a photographic record of the scar was made. In the event in 1992, the young man reported that two near-human females suddenly appeared on his bed, while no one else was in the house, and attempted to engage him in an apparent sexual embrace.
One girl was described as tall (six feet), of fair appearance with light blonde hair; while the other girl was of medium height (about five feet six inches), of Asian appearance with dark hair.
Both supposedly showed near human female bodies, but displayed unusual racial characteristics in their faces, which in the case of the blonde female was long and narrow, and also in their eyes which were exceptionally large. Due to the shock of such contact the young man struggled with the tall female, and after what seemed a few moments while the young man was distracted with a coughing fit, he found that he was alone.
Still it seems that the tall blonde female left clear evidence of her presence, in the form of blonde head hair of length 15 cm, which was wrapped tightly about the young man’s foreskin.
This hair was immediately retrieved by the young man, stored in the dark in a sealed plastic bag, and not touched by anyone else prior to its scientific investigation for DNA evidence in 1998. The young man did show the sample in its sealed bag to a few people between 1993 and 1998, but he is certain that no one, other than himself, handled the hair directly.
In any event, no evidence of contaminated DNA from outside of the hair was found.
