Strange Evidence
BY BILL CHALKER

IUR F SPRING 1999 4 Peter Khoury pt9

Like many other abductees Peter Khoury has had a number of experiences. In November 1996, while lying in bed with Vivian beside him asleep, he felt an energy in the room. He opened his eyes and saw what seemed to be a bunch of hooded small figures (similar to his 1988 experi-ence) seemingly come through the mirror. As they came closer Peter felt paralysis and felt he was floated horizontally feet first towards the mirror. As he looked at the mirror, he realized there were only three figures, with their reflections giving a sense of more.

As he touched the surface of the mirror with his feet, it felt like he was going into water, like a change of density, not something solid. He felt a sense of electrical static buzzing right through his body, and watched as the reflection of his head approached his face. As soon as they touched, he blacked out. He did not remember anything else other than waking up in bed again. There were other episodes in about 1994 or early 1995 involving a light burst or sound of an explosion, this being witnessed in part by Vivian.

On another occasion he felt pins and needles paralysis developing. He tried to wake Vivian. He was eventually after great difficulty able to touch her. She woke up and simultaneously it was “like somebody ripped the sheets off him.” Peter likened it to having something sucked out of him. The feeling had been covering, engulfing him and as soon as he touched Vivian the feeling was gone. Between 1996 to 1999 he is unaware of any experiences.

During John Mack’s visit to Australia in 1996, Peter was regressed by him to try to clarify the 1988 experience beyond the moment of blankness after the needle was inserted in his head. Under Mack’s regression Peter described being taken into a room that was lit up. The walls were white as if the surface was the light. He was on a table with one entity above him and it was speaking to him but with a sound like birds chirping. It was one creature, a shadowy tall figure, but the sound seemed like 50 of them. Peter was thinking at the time, how am I going to remember what you are telling me.

It just faded and everything went dark again. That was all that came out in the session. Peter has had a couple of regression sessions undertaken by specialists, John Mack included. He is not really satisfied with any of the hypnotic recollections and feels more comfortable with the consciously recalled details.

THE DNA ANALYSIS: The analysis by the Anomaly Physical Evidence Group (APEG) was perfomed on mitochondrial DNA. As explained 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 Bi-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 substitutions 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.
