If he is saying that aliens are making whoopie with abducted earthlings and making hybrid babies then thats absurd.
They might be somehow tinkering with our DNA and splicing it into their own in labs...but even thats a stretch because they presumably evolved for billions of years in another solar system so even their molecular blueprints would be radically different from ours - too different to make hybrids. Worse than trying to cross a human with an oak tree.
Though it is tempting to think that some individuals, like Elon Musk, must be part alien.
Or it would indicate that they're not entirely a separate species.
How could aliens from another star system be the "same species" as any organism on earth? Us, or any other earth species?
We have 98.5 percent the same DNA as chimps. And about two thirds the same DNA as mushrooms. We are clearly related to and evolved from other earth organisms. Where in our genome is their room for this alien DNA? If it exists it would be some tiny proportion of that 1.5 percent that is not also chimp DNA. Like one part in a thousand of all our DNA. If these aliens shared only one one thousandth of our DNA they would still be farther removed from us than a mushroom. Wouldnt even be in our kingdom (as in "kingdom, phylum, class, order, etc)much less the same species as us.
