			The online Canadian National newspaper 
			recently began publishing a series of articles reporting the 
			scientific discovery of extraterrestrial genes in human DNA. 
			There is much evidence to support genetic 'upgrades' of human DNA at 
			various points in human evolution by extraterrestrials.  
			  
			This makes it very important to 
			demarcate between exopolitical research on the historic 
			extraterrestrial role concerning human DNA, with ongoing scientific 
			investigations that are part of the Human Genome Project. I 
			wish to clarify my own role and contribution to such research.
			 
			  
			This will remove any possible 
			misperception that I am part of an exo-scientific research team 
			associated with
			
			the Human Genome Project that might 
			arise from 
			a Canadian National story published on Monday 
			January 26. 
 A story published on January 8, 2007 concerned
			
			an alleged scientific breakthrough led by 
			Professor Sam Chang 
			who was reported to be part of the Human Genome Project. He 
			reportedly led a team of researchers that established the existence 
			of extraterrestrial genes in human DNA. These were found to be 
			embedded within the 97% of the human genome described as junk DNA.
 
 The Jan 8 report excited great interest due to growing scientific 
			speculation that human DNA may be encoded with extraterrestrial 
			information. This argument was first proposed by Professor 
			Paul Davies, from the Australian Centre for Astrobiology at 
			Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. Prof Davies argument was
			
			published in the New Scientist in 
			August 2004. He argued that non-coding sequences in human 
			DNA, i.e., junk DNA, may be in fact extraterrestrial 
			information or messages.
 
			  
			He said: 
				
				DNA, the molecule that contains the 
				script of life, encodes its data in a four-letter alphabet. This 
				would be an ideal medium for storing a cosmic calling card. In 
				many organisms, humans included, genes make up only a tiny 
				fraction of their DNA. Much of the rest seems to be biological 
				gobbledygook, often called "junk DNA". There is plenty of room 
				there for ET to etch a molecular message without damaging any 
				vital genetic functions.  
			Essentially, junk DNA may be 
			either an extraterrestrial message and/or parts of 
			extraterrestrial genetics encoded into human DNA. It is this 
			latter possibility that Prof Chang's research had demonstrated 
			according to the Canadian National report.
 I have attempted to verify the existence of Prof Chang and his team 
			of researchers but have so far been unsuccessful. Significantly, 
			Linda Moulton Howe conducted an interview with Prof John 
			McPherson, a former Co-Director of the Genome Center, 
			Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri.
 
			  
			
			
			Prof McPherson had no knowledge of Prof
			Chang, but acknowledged that the extensive number 
			of scientists working on the Human Genome Project made it 
			possible that they had simply not met or yet communicated by email. 
			 
			  
			Prof McPherson commented that he did not 
			find the Prof Chang story to be credible. Yet it is very likely that 
			there is a more classified branch of the Human Genome Project that 
			involves the location of extraterrestrial genetics which Prof 
			McPherson and many other Human Genome Project scientists may simply 
			not be aware of.
 While it is possible that Prof Chang works on a more classified area 
			of the Human Genome Project, it's important to note that I and 
			others have not been able to verify his existence. It is very likely 
			that classified research is occurring on extraterrestrial 
			genetics in the human genome, but we need credible testimonies 
			to verify this. Consequently, I cannot the verify the accuracy of 
			the Canadian National's January 8 report concerning Prof Chang's 
			research findings confirming the discovery of extraterrestrial genes 
			in human DNA.
 
 Given the lack of verification for Prof Chang's existence and 
			of a team within the Human Genome Project working on 
			exobiology, I therefore have to distinguish it from my own 
			exopolitical research efforts concerning extraterrestrial visitors 
			to Earth. I also need to distinguish the Human Genome Project 
			from my collaboration with other researchers interested in 
			exopolitics.
 
 My own exopolitics research efforts analyze the testimony, 
			credentials and documentation of a number of whistleblowers, 'contactees' 
			and researchers concerning extraterrestrial visitation and residence 
			on Earth. My work lies in developing suitable exopolitical research 
			methods for cases where most physical evidence has been deliberately 
			removed or tampered with, and/or witnesses intimidated into silence.
 
			  
			My exopolitics work uses
			
			qualitative research methods that are 
			appropriated from the social sciences. 
 My exopolitics research should not be confused with scientific 
			projects associated with the Human Genome Project that use 
			quantitative research methods in various university departments, 
			scientific laboratories or corporations. I need to emphasize that I 
			am a political scientist by training and not an exo-biologist. My 
			work complements the research goals of those in the Human Genome 
			Project interested in the origins of human DNA, but does 
			replicate the strict scientific laboratory protocols occurring in 
			the Human Genome Project.
 
			  
			At best, my exopolitics research 
			complements the extraterrestrial DNA research findings reported to 
			have been made by Prof Chang, whose research team may work 
			within or be related to a more classified program within the 
			Human Genome Project. 
 This takes me to elaborating briefly on the exopolitical view 
			concerning human DNA being encoded with extraterrestrial genetics. 
			Many are familiar with the work of 
			
			Zecharia Sitchin concerning evidence of genetic 
			manipulation of a primitive hominoid that created humanity 300,000 
			years ago using the DNA of extraterrestrials called
			
			the Anunnaki. This is recorded in 
			Sumerian cuneiform texts which Sitchin has translated.
 
			  
			Dr Arthur Horn, an exo-anthropologist 
			supports Sitchin's claims and argues that there are several 
			intervention points in human evolution where he believes 
			extraterrestrials introduced their own genetics into human DNA. Dr
			Horn identifies a number of gaps in "the 
			Darwinian-anthropological version of primate and human evolution" 
			and argues that these are most likely places where extraterrestrials 
			intervened.  
			  
			He calls these "ET Inception Group" 
			interventions and argues they occurred at the following evolutionary 
			leaps in primate and human evolution.  
				
					
					
					First, the appearance of 
					advanced primates 40 million years ago. 
					
					Second, the appearance of the 
					first member of the human biological family in Africa, 
					Australopithecines or Hominidae [great apes] four 
					million years ago. 
					
					Third, the development of 
					Homo habilis [handy man] about two and a half million 
					years ago. 
					
					Fourth, the development of 
					Homo erectus [upright man] around 1.8 million years ago.
					
					
					Finally, the development of 
					Homo sapiens [knowing man] around 300,000 years ago. See
					
					Humanity's Extraterrestrial Origins 
					(1994, 75-78). 
			Dr Horn's work raises important 
			questions concerning how many times has this genetic intervention 
			occurred and how many extraterrestrial civilizations have been 
			involved in the genetic engineering of Homo Sapiens. A number of 
			whistleblowers/contactees have pointed to the intervention of 
			extraterrestrial visitors in human history.  
			  
			
			
			In an online report, I have 
			discussed literature concerning seventeen extraterrestrial 
			civilizations that appear to be most significant for modern 
			humanity.
 This leads to the testimony of 
			
			Alex Collier, a contactee who 
			claims to met with extraterrestrials from Andromeda, that 22 
			extraterrestrial civilizations have contributed their genetics to 
			human DNA:
 
				
				[W]e, as a product of 
				extraterrestrial genetic manipulation, are possessors of a vast 
				gene pool consisting of many different racial memory banks, also 
				consisting of at least 22 different races. Because of our 
				genetic heritage, and because we are spirit, the benevolent 
				extraterrestrial races actually view us as being royalty. 
			A number of researchers have explored 
			Collier's claims and find him to be credible.  
			  
			Collier's estimate of 22 
			civilizations is consistent with the work of Sitchin, Horn 
			and others who identify different intervention points in human 
			history where extraterrestrial genes were added to human DNA. It is 
			Collier's estimate of the number of extraterrestrial civilizations 
			involved in 'upgrading' human DNA that is alluded to in the 
			Canadian National story on January 26 which says:  
				
				"Collaborative research from a 
				gathering of exo-scientists postulate that there are genes from 
				over 20 extraterrestrials civilizations in Human DNA." 
				 
			The Canadian National later goes 
			on to say: 
				
				Details of findings have been 
				published in part, by Dr. Michael Salla, who is a learned 
				scholar on extraterrestrial research. Exo-scientists and other 
				researchers base their findings, in part, on carefully 
				collecting data, which includes well corroborated documented 
				observations by contactees and "whistleblowers", as well as 
				other documentation. 
			I wish to clarify that my findings are 
			published in a variety of online papers and my book,
			
			Exopolitics (2004). Indeed, my 
			findings are supported by the testimonies of a variety of 
			whistleblowers and contactees whose claims I view to be credible 
			based on their credentials, documentation, sincerity and/or reliable 
			witnesses.  
			  
			
			
			The exopolitics research method that I have 
			developed ranks different sources of evidence in an 
			effort to distinguish between the most reliable and least reliable.
			
 My research findings support the idea that extraterrestrials
			are currently intervening in human affairs. Genetic 
			engineering has occurred in humanity's past (and present) where 
			extraterrestrial genetics has been inserted into human DNA. 
			Consequently, my research does support the view extraterrestrial 
			genetics will be found in human DNA, and that the 'junk DNA' 
			comprising 97% of human DNA is where this will be found. This is 
			supported by the work of Prof Davies, and what Prof Chang 
			reportedly confirmed with his team.
 
 The role of junk DNA in the human genome continues to be an 
			important area of study in the Human Genome Project. The 
			influence of extraterrestrial genes currently lies outside the 
			scientific worldview of most researchers associated with the 
			Genome Project.
 
			  
			It is likely that a highly classified 
			research study into the human genome that seeks to identify 
			extraterrestrial genetics is occurring. It is possible that 
			Canadian National report into Prof Chang's research is part of a 
			controlled leak of information by those wishing to alert the public 
			to such a program, without providing any verification. Most 
			researchers in the Human Genome Project would not be aware of 
			such classified research. 
 In conclusion, my own research methods and collaboration with other 
			exopolitical researchers is not in any way associated with the 
			Human Genome Project or any classified studies associated with 
			it. The existence of Prof Sam Chang and his team researching 
			extraterrestrial genetics in human DNA is still to be confirmed.
 
			  
			Nevertheless, I predict that the 
			Human Genome Project will eventually discover that junk DNA 
			in fact involves information from extraterrestrial civilizations as 
			Prof Davies hypothesized. This information was likely a 
			genetic upgrade responsible for human evolution as critical points 
			as identified by Dr Arthur Horn. 
			  
			It is very likely that official 
			knowledge of extraterrestrial genetics in human DNA will be 
			released in the future as part of a coordinated political disclosure 
			concerning extraterrestrial life visiting or residing on Earth.
