Am I right? Hi all - I have read the article, and Paul is essentially correct here. The DNA is rare but it is human. There is nothing on the hair or the DNA to PROVE that it was of extraterrestrial origin. Bill Chalker is to be applauded for his work but we are still confronted with unidentified scientists and unidentified laboratories doing the work. I also understand why those in the scientific community do not wish to have their names associated with UFO research, but the point is, we do not know who they are. I mean this as no criticism of Bill Chalker because I understand what being associated with UFOs can mean to a scientist, especially with CSICOPians out there. >If so, I can understand the interest in this case because it may >raise questions like, "Why do entities repeatedly claim to be >trying to merge alien and human DNA when an entity turns out to >have human DNA after all?/do we have a shared ancestry?/are >these entities human after all and just claim to be alien?". >But to ask such questions, one has to accept the claim that an >entity made a visitation, and accepting the claim that a hair, >with provable human DNA, was actually from an entity.

But what's to >stop a skeptic laughing at this case and saying, "Big deal! They >got a human hair and are trying to claim it's from an entity! >They've proved nothing!" This is the whole problem with abduction research. The "explosive" evidence is not. We are confronted with a strange situation, and had the hair belonged to a more common genetic category, there would be no discussion of it. However, it is still human and only becomes interesting when coupled to the story told by the abductee. >I apologise in advance if this case has more scientific evidence >than I realise at this stage, with my not having access to the >article, and for basing my interpretation on a paragraph on the >CUFOS website, but you've got to agree that when you describe a >case as "explosive", a guy's gotta be forgiven for being >impatient to know what it's all about.... <g> I have read Bill Chalker's plea for additional money to assist in the research of this sample and I believe that we should support it. An address was supplied in the IUR article and I, for one, plan to send in a donation. KRandle PS: For those interested, THE ABDUCTION ENIGMA, the book about alien abduction I wrote with Russ Estes and Bill Cone is now available in hardback.
