Fact or fiction? The leaked report on extraterrestrial biological beings. The "EBOscientistA" story.

Foreword by the Weather Balloon Team to this report
(Original report follows below)

The following report comes from Reddit user "EBOscientistA." It was published on July 5, 2023, in the r/biology and r/aliens subreddits. The user was no longer active on the platform, apart from his main post and a few comments. His account was deleted the same day. It is unclear whether the deletion was initiated by Reddit or by the user himself.

What is the report about?
"EBOscientistA" claims to have participated in biological studies of extraterrestrial life forms from the early 2000s to the mid-2010s in a secret laboratory at Fort Detrick, Frederick, Maryland (USA). The beings described most closely resemble the "Greys" known from UFO folklore. The report describes in detail not only the body structure, skeletal structure, and organ composition of these beings, but also their genetic structure, the function and composition of their organs, and the structure of their body proteins.

Due to its technical depth and level of detail, the report quickly received considerable attention on the Reddit forum. Students, active medical professionals, and biologists examined the text and debated its credibility. In short: No one can say with certainty whether this report is authentic—or whether it is the product of the imagination of an extremely creative and technically skilled author.

According to the Weather Balloon team, this report appears credible and not fabricated – however, this is our purely subjective opinion. Objectively verifiable facts are not yet available. Form your own opinion.

"It seems like all my comments are being deleted. I will post my replies at the end of the message.

From the late 2000s to the mid-2010s, I worked as a molecular biologist for a national security contractor in a program studying exo-biospheric organisms (EBOs). The goal of the program was to decipher the genetic and proteomic basis of these organisms. Although the study of EBOs had been ongoing for decades in other programs, the new high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies of the late 1990s reinvigorated stalled research in this area. Since then, several breakthroughs have led to significant advances in our understanding of the genomes and proteomes of these entities. What we have learned so far allows us to sketch some disturbing perspectives on our place in the universe. In short, we have discovered that the EBO genome is a chimeric genome—composed of genomes from our biosphere and one unknown to us. They are artificial, short-lived, and dispensable organisms created for a purpose that is not yet fully understood. I will substantiate my statements after a brief introduction.

The reason for revealing these secrets is quite simple. I believe that every person has the right to know the truth, and that humanity must separate itself from certain institutions and organizations in order to progress—institutions that are unlikely to survive these revelations in the long run. I realize my influence is small, but I still believe small leaks are necessary to break the dam of disinformation. When governments finally reveal these secrets, there will undoubtedly be societal upheaval—but the longer one waits, the worse it will be, in my opinion. I choose to publish anonymously for selfish reasons: for the benefit of my family and myself. I know it diminishes the reach and credibility of my statements, but I'm not willing to go any further. I chose this forum because it offers a good compromise between anonymity and reach. To protect my anonymity, I will intentionally be vague or inconsistent about identifying information (date, education, role, etc.)—even inserting misleading information. However, I would like to clarify that information about the subject of the research is excluded.

Before I continue, please excuse me if my explanations are difficult to understand—some parts are very technical. It's not easy to balance simplification with scientific rigor. I'll start with some information about myself. Why talk about me if the information will be misleading anyway? Simply to give an idea of ​​the kind of people who work in this field: ordinary scientists. I have a PhD in molecular biology. I didn't actively seek out this program—it was more of a coincidence that I was introduced to one of the senior scientists. I met him at a conference where I was presenting a PhD poster. Looking back, I don't think he was impressed by my project—it was honestly pretty hopeless. It was probably my attitude and interpersonal skills that won him over. Shortly after I graduated, he called and offered me a position. At the time, it seemed like I would be working in a completely normal lab.

I went through three increasingly suspicious interviews, each at a different location, with my scientific background becoming less and less important. The first interview was with two senior scientists; the second and third were with people I never saw again, who clearly had no interest in science. Shortly afterward, I was asked to attend a fourth location, where someone who appeared to be a corporate lawyer presented me with a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). He explained every detail and made sure I understood the consequences of violating it.

The first few weeks of my employment were by far the most memorable, even though I spent most of it in a depressing archive room. It was almost entirely about reading up on the subject. There's no secret Wikipedia, nor any reference book—just dry reports, memos, presentations, procedures, and SOPs. These documents deal almost exclusively with the biology of EBOs, with a few also touching on their diet, religion, or culture. There are no records of their technology.

As mentioned above, the goal of the project is to better understand the EBO genome and proteome. The team included approximately 20 scientists, four senior scientists, and a director. The scientists—like me—were responsible for the technical work. As far as I know, each of us had a PhD, so we were essentially overqualified for what was ultimately a rather technical role. The senior scientists designed the experiments, supervised the team, and trained new recruits. The director set priorities, was rarely on-site, and only came for meetings. Besides the scientific staff, there were only security guards working for various subcontractors. There was no cleaning or maintenance staff—we handled these tasks ourselves. Furthermore, all scientists had to be able to perform every technical task.

The lab is located at Fort Detrick, Maryland, in a building officially used for biomedical research. Secret operations take place in a separate area of ​​the basement, inaccessible to regular staff. Contrary to popular belief, the lab does not have the highest biosafety level. The labs containing EBO samples are BSL3, while those for assays are BSL2. The BSL3 area includes a freezer room and a cell culture lab and is only accessible via an airlock from the BSL2 area. The EBO carcasses are stored in horizontal freezers at -80°C, vacuum-packed, with controlled room air for humidity regulation. There are only four bodies, none of them complete. All show signs of massive trauma—comparable to a fatal motorcycle accident. Additional carcasses are believed to exist elsewhere.

The cell culture laboratory is used to cultivate cell lines from EBOs. I will discuss these cell lines in more detail later. The BSL2 area is primarily used for assays, immunohistochemistry, genetic engineering, immunocytochemistry, and storage. There is also a cell culture laboratory here, but for traditional cell lines. Apart from that, the laboratory is equipped like an office. Internet access is permitted only for senior staff. However, there is an intranet for bioinformatics purposes.

Genetics:
First, I want to discuss their genetics. Their genetics, like ours, are based on DNA. This fact initially puzzled me greatly. One would expect that beings from another biosphere would have a completely alien biochemical basis for their genetics—surprisingly, this is not the case. Several conclusions can be drawn from this finding. The most obvious is that our biosphere and theirs share a common origin. They are eukaryotes, meaning their cells have nuclei containing genetic material. This suggests that their biosphere diverged from ours only after this cell form emerged. The term "exo-biospheric organism" (EBO) is therefore actually a misnomer, but it remains in use for historical reasons.

Their genetics are not only based on the same genetic system, but are even compatible with our cellular machinery. This means that you can insert a human gene into an EBO cell, and it will be translated into a protein—and vice versa. There are significant differences in the post-translational modifications that can render the final protein nonfunctional—I'll discuss this later. Their genome consists of 16 circular chromosomes.

You're probably familiar with the concept of "intergenic regions" or so-called "junk DNA." These are DNA sequences that don't code for proteins—evolutionary remnants, transposons, disabled genes, etc. In humans, these intergenic regions make up about 99% of the genome. I know these sequences aren't completely useless—they serve, for example, as histone anchors, as buffers to protect the coding DNA from radiation, or as alternative reading frames—but that's beside the point.

What makes the EBO genome particularly striking is the uniformity of these intergenic regions. The same sequences are found everywhere, and the distances between genes (in base pairs) are almost identical throughout the genome. The result is a minimalist, highly condensed genome. It is indeed much smaller than ours. Furthermore, the number of protein-coding genes is significantly lower than ours – presumably due to genetic refinement, but also due to biological processes that are absent in EBOs. The uniformity of these sequences is a strong indication of the artificiality of these beings. No complex terrestrial creature has such elegance in its genetic structure. There is no evolutionary pressure that could produce such traits – only targeted genetic manipulation can explain this.

Speaking of genetic manipulation: After sequencing the EBO genome, we noticed a disturbing and universal feature at the 5' end of the regulatory sequence of each gene—we call it the tripalindromic region (TPR). The TPR consists of 134 base pairs containing—as the name suggests—three palindromes. In genetics, a palindrome is a DNA sequence that results in the same sequence on both strands in the same direction. Such sequences serve both as markers and as binding sites for proteins. The three palindromes in the TPR are distinct from each other and have been poetically named: "5'P TPR," "M TPR," and "3' TPR."

The TPR is composed in the 5'–3' direction as follows: 5'P TPR, a 12-base pair spacer, a chromosomal address, another 12-bp spacer, M TPR, another 12-bp spacer, a gene address, another 12-bp spacer, and finally the 3' TPR. The chromosomal address consists of 4 base pairs and is the same for all TPRs on the same chromosome, but differs among the 16 chromosomes. The gene address consists of 64 bp and is unique for each individual gene in the entire genome.

This suggests that the TPR serves not only to numerically identify a gene, but also to localize its position in the genome. For someone with only basic knowledge of genetics, this is completely new. No other living being on earth has such a precise addressing system in its genome. The existence of the TPR cannot – again – be explained by evolutionary pressure, but only by targeted genome-wide genetic engineering.

The TPR opens up several possibilities. One of them is that EBO geneticists can insert or delete genes into a cell using a much more targeted and efficient method than our technology allows. No proteins have been identified in the EBO genome that interact with the TPR. Rather, it is believed that these are specifically targeted by external genetic tools—probably at the zygote stage of embryonic development. The nature of these tools is unclear, but we definitely have nothing comparable. The likely absence of such proteins in the genome is further evidence of their artificial origin.

Given the high probability that the genome is artificial and the apparent ease with which it can be modified with biomolecular tools, it is entirely conceivable that there are polymorphic differences between individuals—depending on function and role. In other words, an individual could be genetically engineered to possess traits that make it particularly effective at performing its task—comparable to soldier ants and worker ants in an anthill. Note that these statements are speculative. To my knowledge, only one genome has been fully sequenced. Therefore, I cannot make a definitive statement about genetic differences between individuals.

I've talked a lot about intergenic regions so far—now let's briefly talk about intragenic sequences. They, too, are similar to ours: their genes contain silencers, enhancers, promoters, 5'-UTRs, exons, introns, 3'-UTRs, etc. Many genes are similar to ours, which is not surprising given the compatibility of our cellular machinery. What's frightening, however, is that some genes are identical to known human or animal genes—nucleotide for nucleotide. These genes don't appear to have undergone artificial refinement, but rather a simple copy-and-paste operation. Why they do this is unclear and the subject of much speculation.

There are also many genes that do not occur in our biosphere and whose function is currently unknown. Deciphering these genes is a central goal of the program. I would like to note that this mixture of known and unknown genes is irrefutable proof of the artificial nature of EBOs.

To conclude the genetics chapter: The mitochondrial genome had not yet been sequenced during my time there. However, it is assumed that this genome is also highly condensed and possibly has its own variant of the TPR.

Transcription, translation and protein expression:
I've already briefly mentioned the differences in post-translational modifications between humans and EBO. This is hardly surprising—we see similarities even in various terrestrial species. Deriving a functioning protein from a DNA sequence is a complex process involving hundreds of protein intermediate steps, each of which plays a precise and essential role. Even a small deviation in this production chain can lead to functional irregularities in the final product.

So, it was no surprise that initial attempts to transduce EBO genes into human cell lines failed—the desired functional protein was not produced. Fortunately, another team—presumably at a different location—had developed an EBO cell line derived from epithelial tissue. This cell line is called EPI-G11. Using this tool, we were able to transfer targeted genes and overexpress proteins for subsequent purification and study.

For your information, we use a biological ballistic transfection system—also known as a "gene gun"—because other methods are not particularly effective with this cell line. For example, tested viral vectors cannot be taken up by EPI-G11 cells, and lipofection is too toxic. EPI-G11 cells, like most eukaryotic cell lines, enter an exponential growth phase when exposed to fetal bovine serum (FBS). It's only half surprising that a cell line from such an exotic source would respond to growth factors in FBS. I believe this can be explained by the integration of animal genes—such as genes for growth receptors—into the EBO genome.

Macroscopic anatomy:
Morphologically, they closely resemble the so-called "Greys" depicted in modern folklore. They are approximately 150 cm tall. They have two arms, two legs, and one head. However, there are some notable differences:

Skin:
The gray skin, as it is often described, is actually a biosynthetic film that likely serves as protection against a hostile environment. It doesn't effectively protect against temperature changes, but it does provide adequate protection against fluids. It's possible that this film serves other functions, but my knowledge of this is limited.
Beneath the gray film, the epidermis is white, very evenly textured, and completely hairless. No skin irregularities are visible, except for wrinkles in the joint regions. One report describes the skin as oily, which I personally cannot confirm. The same report also mentions a strong, persistent odor of burnt hair and ammonia once the film is removed.
The skin's surface contains numerous pores, extending from the epidermis to glands in the hypodermis. This gland-pore structure forms the final stage of an excretory-sudoriferous system (sweat excretion system), which could explain the aforementioned odor.

Head:
The head has two oversized eyes, two nostrils with no prominent structure, a narrow, lipless mouth, and two ear canals without pinnae. There is a lower jaw, but the musculature is rudimentary. The oral cavity has neither teeth nor a tongue. The nasal cavity is compact and does not ascend toward the base of the skull, but runs axially. There appears to be no equivalent to the human olfactory bulb.
The mouth leads directly to the esophagus, the nasal cavity to the trachea – both are anatomically clearly separated.

Eyes:
Like the skin, the eyes are covered with a semi-transparent biosynthetic film that provides both environmental protection and protection against certain wavelengths and light intensities. When the film is removed, a more traditional eye is revealed. It is about three times the size of a human eye and lacks eyelids. This size suggests excellent night vision—which seems somewhat paradoxical, given that the eyes are covered by a slightly opaque film. Perhaps this is only necessary in bright environments.
The sclera is skin-colored, the iris pale gray, the pupil black and disproportionately large. The lens is more spherical than in humans, and the focusing muscles are more pronounced.
At least six different types of cone cells have been identified in the retina—each sensitive to a specific wavelength band, with minimal overlap. This means that the visible spectrum of these creatures is significantly broader than ours.

Ears:
As mentioned, there are no pinnae, only simple ear canals. The inner ear possesses all the characteristics of a typical vestibular and cochlear system, although the curvature of the cochlea is more pronounced than in humans—presumably leading to a greater sensitivity to low-frequency sounds.

Brain:
The brain is tetraspherical, divided into four main sections. These sections are separated by transverse and longitudinal sulci and connected by a central lobe organ that functions as the brainstem and cerebellum.
The brain volume is approximately 20% larger than that of a human of the same size. It exhibits much greater gyration (folding of the cerebral cortex). Furthermore, the ratio of glial cells to neurons is slightly higher than in humans.
Particularly noteworthy is the presence of nodules in the central lobe. Histological analyses reveal a kind of finely interconnected biological circuitry. These structures are suspected to be essential for interaction with their technology. Determining the proteome of these nodules is a key goal of the program.

Neck:
The neck is relatively longer than in humans and at the same time relatively thin. The esophagus and trachea are – as mentioned – completely separate. There are no vocal cords in this area.

Chest:
The chest muscles are poorly developed. However, muscles corresponding to the pectoralis major are visible. The trapezius and deltoid muscles are also visible. The sternocleidomastoid muscles are well defined. The ribs and sternum are clearly visible. There are no nipples.

Abdomen:
The abdominal area is wider than the ribcage and protrudes slightly forward. There is no navel.

Pool:
The pelvic bones are clearly visible. There are no genitals or anus.

Hands and feet:
The hands have four fingers, including an opposable thumb on the inside. There are no nails, and the fingerprints consist of concentric circles. The fingers are significantly longer in relation to the body than in humans.
Unlike in humans, all of the finger muscles are located within the hand – not in the forearm.
At first glance, the feet appear to have only two toes, but necropsy revealed that each toe consists of two fused toes. The medial toe is slightly longer than the outer toe. The feet are narrower and longer than human feet, but the musculature is rudimentary.

Internal skeleton:
The endoskeleton is similar to the human one in its composition—with collagen, hydroxyapatite, and also copper oxide crystals in places where bone marrow would be in humans. The function of these crystals is unclear, but pathological crystal formation is not present.
Blood cells of the myeloid lineage (or the equivalent in these creatures) do not mature in the bone marrow as in humans, but in a thymus-like organ.
A cross-section through the bone shows osteons and osteocytes, but few osteoblasts and no osteoclasts – this means that the bones no longer grow and cannot adapt to stress or posture.

Respiratory system:
The cellular respiration of EBOs is essentially the same as ours – they have to oxidize organic compounds to generate energy.
However, their lungs don't work on a back-and-forth (reciprocal) principle like ours, but instead have a unidirectional airflow, similar to that of birds—a more efficient system. This is thought to be an adaptation to the increased energy demands of the brain.
Voice production occurs through vibration of a membrane wall at the junction between two air sacs.

Circulatory system:
The circulatory system of EBOs is very similar to that of humans.
The heart is located in the mediastinum, but in a more central position, directly beneath the sternum. It has two ventricles and two atria.
There is an aorta, a pulmonary vein, a pulmonary artery and a vena cava.
Blood is pumped through the pulmonary capillaries in the opposite direction to air flow, maximizing gas exchange. The blood-air barrier in the pulmonary capillaries is relatively thin, at least compared to humans.
Oxygen-rich blood returns to the heart and is then pumped out into the body via the aorta.
Before it gets there, the blood passes through a “hepato-renal organ,” which is responsible, among other things, for filtering and osmotic regulation.

Blood:
The blood is similar to human blood in many ways, but also has clear differences:

• The plasma proportion is significantly higher.

• The albumin content is comparable.

• Hormone concentrations are greatly reduced.

• The metal ion content is greatly increased – especially copper.

• The blood sugar level is significantly elevated.

The color of the blood is brownish, which is due to the high plasma content and copper concentration.
At the cellular level, erythrocytes contain, in addition to hemoglobin, several copper-binding complexes. The exact function of these copper ions is unclear, but it is believed that they neutralize ammonia in the blood, among other things.
Several cell types with leukocyte properties have been observed, but there is still no comprehensive knowledge about them.
Platelets are present, but in smaller numbers than in humans.

Excretory-sudoriferic system:
This system is completely different from anything I've seen before.
As mentioned above, there are no large openings like an anus or urethra through which biological waste products are excreted. Instead, there are countless small pores on the surface of the skin.
The hepatorenal organ already mentioned takes over the function of the liver and kidney and is central to maintaining internal balance.
It is highly vascularized, and blood must pass through it before returning to the heart.
Waste products are excreted into a ureter-like duct, which divides into four main branches—one for each limb. These branches further branch out into thousands of pores through which excretion occurs.

Movement in this system occurs through gentle peristalsis (wave motion) in the proximal sections and the four main ducts. This peristalsis ends in the first branches.
Since there is no urea cycle, the ammonia concentration at the exit of the hepatorenal organ is very high. This ammonia is transported to the pores and causes the aforementioned typical odor.
The purpose of this unusual system probably lies in its thermoregulatory function:
The evaporating ammonia on the surface of the skin cools the body.
The greater the physical exertion, the higher the metabolism → higher temperature → greater amino acid catabolism → more ammonia → more cooling.

Digestive system:
The digestive system is extremely underdeveloped.
A classic stomach does not exist. Instead, there is a pseudostomach at the border between the thoracic and abdominal cavities.
This does not serve as a digestive tract, but merely as a reservoir. A sphincter regulates the flow of food into the intestine.
The intestine is limited to the equivalent of the human small intestine. It is responsible for nutrient and fluid absorption and is the main site of digestion.
It has villi and microvilli, like our small intestine.
The intestine ends in the hepatorenal organ, which excretes undigested waste through the excretory system. The residues are embedded in ammonia-containing fluid and thus excreted.

Near the sphincter of the pseudogastric muscle there is an organ that releases digestive enzymes directly into the intestine.
This organ was appropriately called the “digestive organ”.
It mainly secretes proteolytic enzymes and glycoside hydrolases.

Due to the lack of teeth, the narrow and rigid esophagus, the lack of a stomach and the non-existence of defecation, it is assumed that EBOs can only consume liquid food.
Due to the brain's high energy requirements, this food must be high in sugar.
To meet other metabolic needs, it must also be rich in protein.
These assumptions are confirmed by the composition of the enzymes of the digestive organ.
It is therefore assumed that EBOs consume a kind of nutrient broth rich in protein and sugar – probably also with a high copper content.
Given the harsh nutritional conditions, it is unlikely that these creatures could survive in our biosphere without technological assistance.

Endocrine system:
Knowledge about the endocrine system is very limited.
It is known that their cells respond to bovine growth hormone, which suggests that certain functions are hormonally regulated.
Endocrine mechanisms are highly complex and are best studied in living individuals.

Immune system:
The immune system is also largely unknown.
There appears to be an innate immune system, but no adaptive immunity, at least not in the form we know.
A thymus-like organ near the heart—proportionately larger than in humans—appears to be the site of maturation of all blood cells.
Some of these cells exhibit leukocyte-like properties such as granularity.
These immune cells contain high amounts of copper.
The surface receptors of innate immune cells have not yet been characterized – research in this area is still in its early stages.

Nervous system:
The nervous system is structured relatively similarly.
The spinal cord begins at the base of the central lobe of the brain and runs along the spine.
Ganglia of afferent and efferent neurons are located in the vertebrae.
Apart from the CNS, there is nothing unusual.

Musculoskeletal system:
The musculoskeletal system is normal but underdeveloped.
Most human skeletal muscles have a functional equivalent. Differences are particularly evident in the hands, feet, and forearms.
Interestingly, the ratio of type 1 to type 2 muscle fibers is 10:1 – i.e. endurance fibers strongly dominate.

Artificial system:
The existence of artificial molecular machines (AMMs) in the body is suspected.
Copper – if present – ​​could be essential for their function or assembly.
Important: No AMMs have been observed so far."

Following are questions that “EBOscientistA” answered in the forum

Question 1:
Incredible story. Did you share this with the Senate Intelligence Committee or AARO? And do you have any evidence for it?
Answer:
Thank you, no, I haven't—and I won't. This seems like a honey trap to me. I won't put my life in the hands of politicians. I have no proof other than this message. I know it's not much, but it's what I'm willing to provide.

Question 2:
That was a strong text... so they are biologically engineered worker bees... Are there any chemical elements in them that are not found in our biosphere?
Answer:
Yes—assuming they are expendable, unable to survive without technological support, and transient. The only reasonable hypothesis is that they exist solely for the purpose of their task. Could you please clarify your question about the chemical elements?

Question 3:
I haven't read everything in detail—can you explain the document about their religion in more detail?
Answer:
EBOs believe that the soul is not an extension of the individual, but a fundamental property of nature that expresses itself like a field – similar to gravity.
In the presence of life, this field gains complexity, resulting in a kind of negative entropy (if that makes sense).
This increase in complexity is directly related to the concentration of living organisms in a particular location.
Over time – and under the right conditions – life becomes more complex until intelligent life eventually develops.
Once this threshold is reached, the field begins to express itself through these intelligent beings – this is what we call the soul.
Through their life experiences, these beings in turn influence the field in a positive feedback loop, which further accelerates the complexity of the field.
Finally, when the field reaches a kind of “critical mass,” a kind of apocalypse or enlightenment (apotheosis) occurs.
What this means in practice is unclear – but this pursuit of apotheosis seems to be the main motivation of EBOs.

The author of the document has added his own reflections and interpretations in an appendix.
He wrote that for the EBOs this “soul field” is not a question of faith, but a self-evident truth.
He also argued that after death the soul loses its individuality, but memory and experience remain in the field.
This belief strongly influences the philosophy and culture of the EBOs:

• They do not fear death,

• do not attach any particular value to individuality

• and do not worship them either.

This “conviction” drives them to sow life, shape it, nurture it, observe it and influence it, with the ultimate goal of bringing about this apotheosis.
Paradoxically, however, they show little to no respect for the well-being of the individual.

Please note that I speak from memory—I read the document over ten years ago. Therefore, please take my statements with a grain of salt.
I am neither a philosopher nor an artist, so please excuse my difficulty in expressing these concepts clearly and my dry choice of words.
Finally, it should be noted that this information comes from a document whose author had direct contact with an EBO.
It is not stated whether this EBO was an ambassador, a crash survivor, or a prisoner. The means of communication was also not specified.

Question 4:
WTF – he just revealed the location of the lab.
Answer:
Battelle National Biodefense Institute.
It can be found on Google Maps.

Original English text

It seems like all my comments are being deleted. I will post answer at the end of the message.
From the late 2000s to the mid-2010s, I worked as a molecular biologist for a national security contractor in a program to study Exo-Biospheric-Organisms (EBO). The aim of the program was to elucidate the genome and proteome basis of these organisms. Although the study of OBCs has been going on for decades in other programs, the new high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies of the late 90s unblocked stagnant research in this area. Since then, several breakthroughs have led to significant advances in our understanding of the genome and proteome of these beings. What we've learned so far has enabled us to outline some disconcerting perspectives about our place in this universe. Briefly, we've discovered that the EBO genome is a chimera of genomes from our biosphere and from an unknown one. They are artificial, ephemeral and disposable organisms created for a purpose that still partially elude us. I'll be substantiating my statements after a brief introduction.
The reason for disclosing these secrets is quite simple. I believe that every human being has the right to know the truth, and that to progress, humanity needs to divest itself of certain institutions and organizations that will probably not survive these revelations in the long term. I'm aware that I'll have very little influence in this regard, but I still believe that small leaks are necessary to break the dam of misinformation on this subject. When the governments will eventually reveal these secrets, there will undoubtedly be a societal upheaval, but in my opinion, the longer we wait, the worse it will be. I choose to divulge what I know anonymously out of selfishness for the well-being of myself and my family. I'm aware that this diminishes the reach and credibility of my message, but it's the furthest I am willing to go. I chose this forum because it offers a good compromise between anonymity and popularity. In order to protect my anonymity, I will be purposely vague or even contradictory about any information that could identify me (date, education, role etc.). I'll even introduce red herrings in this respect. I want to make it clear that any information related to the subject of the research will not be treated in this way.
Before going any further, please excuse me if you find it difficult to understand what I'm explaining. Some parts of my text are very technical. It's difficult to find the right balance between vulgarization and scientific explanation. I'll continue by talking about myself. What's the point of talking about me knowing that the information will necessarily be misleading? I simply want to introduce a perspective on the type of people who work there, normal scientists. I have a Ph.D. in molecular biology. I didn't actively seek to be part of this program, rather it was a stroke of luck that introduced me to one of the senior scientists. I met this person at a conference where I was presenting a poster on my Ph.D. research. When I think back, I don't believe he was impressed by what I was presenting, because it was quite frankly a project that wasn't going anywhere. I think it was rather the most important aspect of a professional life: the attitude and the ease with which you make connections. Shortly afterwards, I graduated and received a call from this person offering me a position. At the time, everything pointed out to me working in a regular laboratory.
I did a series of three increasingly suspicious interviews, each in a different location, where my scientific background and knowledge became less and less relevant. The first was with two of the senior scientists, the second and third with people I've never seen again and who were obviously not interested in science. Sometime after the interview, I was asked to go to a fourth location where what seemed like a corporate lawyer presented me with an NDA. He made sure not only to explain every detail, but also that I understood the consequence of not respecting it.
The first employment weeks were by far the most memorable, although I spent most of that time in a depressing archive room. It consists almost exclusively of reading about the subject of study and to get us up to speed. There's no secret Wikipedia or even a reference book to guide us. There are only dry reports, memos, presentations, procedures and SOPs. These documents are almost exclusively about the biology of EBOs, but there are also a few that deal with other subjects such as their food, religion or culture. There were no documents on their technology.
As mentioned above, the aim of the project is to gain a better understanding of the EBO genome and proteome. To achieve this, a team of around twenty scientists, four senior scientists and a director was involved. The scientists, like myself, had as their main responsibility to carry out the technical work. As each scientist had to my knowledge a Ph.D., we were all somewhat overqualified for what is ultimately a technician's job. The senior scientists, who make full use of their diplomas, had the task of designing the assays and had a supervisory responsibility. They were also in charge of training new employees, and sometimes even came in to do technical work. The director, of course, was the person in charge who dictated priorities to the senior scientists. He was rarely on site, and the few times he was, it was to attend meetings. Other than the scientific staff, there were security guards working for one subcontractor or another. There were no support staff such as janitors or maintenance workers. Scientists were responsible for this kind of work. In addition, logistical constraints ensure that every scientist is capable of carrying out any technical activity.
The laboratory itself is located in Fort Detrick, Maryland, in a building used for legitimate biomedical research. The clandestine operations are carried out in a restricted part of the basement, out of sight from regular workers. Contrary to what one might imagine, the biosafety level is not maximum for this type of research. Indeed, the lab containing EBO samples or derived cell cultures is BSL3, while the lab where assays are conducted are only BSL2. The BSL3 area of ​​the facility includes a freezer room and a cell culture lab and is only accessible through an antechamber from the BSL2 section. EBO carcasses are preserved in horizontal freezers at a temperature of -80°C nominal. To maximize the preservation of these carcasses, they are preserved in vacuum bags and the air in the room is controlled to minimize humidity. There are only four bodies and none of them are complete. It's obvious that these creatures have died as a result of major trauma. I've never witnessed a motorcycle accident fatality, but it probably looks similar to this. It is acknowledged that there are more EBOs caracasses at other locations. The cell culture laboratory, as its name suggests, is where cell lines derived from EBOs are grown and related activities are performed. I'll talk in more detail about these specific cell lines later on. The BSL2 part is mainly used for assays, immunohistochemistry, genetic engineering, immunocytochemistry, storage etc. There's also a cell culture lab, but this is used for more traditional cell lines. Other than the labs, there are all the amenities you could find in an office. Note that the internet access is limited to senior staff and up. There is, however, an intranet for bioinformatics needs.
On the subject of the biology of these beings, I'll start by discussing genetics, then their gross anatomy and finally their biological systems. For the sake of clarity, the information that I provide here is an aggregation of what I have observed and what I have read. I will make many comparisons with human anatomy because it is the most logical reference.
Genetics:
First, I'd like to discuss their genetics. Their genetics are like ours, based on DNA. This fact was very puzzling for me when I first learned about it. We imagine that beings from an alternate biosphere would have genetics based on a completely foreign biochemical system and surprisingly, this is not the case. Several conclusions can be drawn from this surprising revelation. The one that immediately comes to mind is that our biosphere and theirs share a common ancestry. They're eukaryotes, which means their cells have nuclei containing genetic material. Which suggests that their biosphere would have been separated from ours sometime after the appearance of this type of organism. The term Exo-Biospheric-Organism is actually a misnomer, but as it's a historical term, it's still used. Their genetics are not only based on the same genetic system, but they're also compatible with our own cellular machinery. This means that you can take a human gene and insert it into an EBO cell, and that gene will be translated into protein, and this of course works in reverse with a human gene inserted into an EBO cell. There are important differences in post-translational modifications that will make the final protein non-functional, but I'll discuss these later. Their genome consists of 16 circular chromosomes.
You're probably familiar with the concept of intergenic region or "junk DNA". These are basically DNA sequences that don't code for proteins. These are evolutionary residues, transposons, inactivated genes and so on. To give you an idea, in humans, intergenic regions represent approximately 99% of our genome. I'm aware that these sequences aren't completely useless, they can be used as histone anchors, as buffers to protect coding DNA from radiation or even as alternative open reading frames, but that's rather peripheral.
What's particularly striking about the EBO genome is the uniformity of these intergenic regions. We see the same sequences repeated everywhere, and the distance in bp between the genes is virtually the same throughout their genome. The result is a minimalist, highly condensed genome. In fact, it's much smaller than ours. Furthermore, the quantity of protein-coding genes is even significantly lower than ours, probably due to genetic refinement but also to biological processes that are absent in EBO. The uniformity of these sequences is a major indication of the artificiality of these beings. There is no complex organism on earth that has such elegance in its sequences. There is no evolutionary pressure that can lead to this kind of characteristic other than genetic engineering.
Speaking of genetic engineering, following sequencing of their genomes, we noticed a troubling and universal characteristic in the 5' of the regulatory sequence of each gene which we call the Tri-Palindromic Region. The TPR are 134bp sequences containing, as its name suggests, 3 palindromes. In genetics, a palindrome is a DNA sequence that when read in the same direction, gives the same sequence on both DNA strands. They serve both as a flag and as a binding site for proteins. The three palindromes in the TPR are distinct from one another and have been poetically named "5'P TPR", "M TPR" and "3' TPR". The TPR is composed (in 5' - 3' order) of 5'P TPR, 12bp spacer, chromosomal address, 12bp spacer, M TPR, 12bp spacer, Gene address, 12pb spacer and 3' TPR. The chromosomal address is composed of 4 bp and is identical in each TPR of the same chromosome, but distinct between each of the 16 chromosomes of the genome. The Gene address is a 64bp sequence that is unique for each gene in the whole genome. It's therefore understandable that the TPR serves as a unique address not only for numerically identifying a gene, but also for identifying its chromosomal location. For those with only a basic knowledge of genetics, this is completely unheard of. No living thing in our biosphere has this kind of precise address in its genome. Once again, the presence of TPR cannot be explained by evolutionary pressure but only by genetic engineering on a genomic scale.
TPR opens the door to several possibilities. One of them suggests that EBO geneticists can insert or remove a gene from a cell in a way that is far more targeted and efficient than our technology allows. No proteins have been identified in the EBO genome that interacts with TPR. Rather, we believe that these proteins are exclusively targeted by external genetic engineering tools, probably used at the zygotic stage of embryonic development. The nature of these tools is unclear, but we definitely don't have anything like them. The probable absence of these proteins from the genome is a further indication of their artificiality. Given the high probability of artificiality of their genome and the apparent ease of modifying it with biomolecular tools, it's not out of the question that there could be polymorphism between individuals depending on their role and function. In other words, an individual could be genetically designed to have characteristics that give it an advantage in performing a given task, like soldier ants and worker ants in an anthill. Note that these previous statements are speculation. To my knowledge only one individual genome has been sequenced, I can't make a definitive statement on genetic variation between individuals.
I've talked a lot about intergenic regions, now I'll briefly discuss intragenic sequences. Briefly, because there's not a lot less to say despite its obvious importance. Much like ours, their genes have silencers, enhancers, promoters, 5'UTRs, exons, introns, 3' UTRs etc. There are many genes analogous to ours, which is not surprising given the compatibility of our cellular machinery. What's disturbing is that some genes correspond directly, nucleotide by nucleotide, with known human genes or even some animal genes. For these genes, there doesn't seem to be any artificial refinement but rather a crude copying and pasting. Why they do it is nebulous and still subject to conjecture. There are also many genes which are not found in our biosphere whose role has not been identified. Finding the purpose of these novel genes is one of the aims of the program. I'd like to note before going any further that this heterogeneity of genes of known and unknown origin is an undeniable proof of the artificiality of EBOs.
To conclude with genetics, the mitochondrial genome, at the time I was working there, had not yet been sequenced. It's safe to assume that this genome would also be streamlined and possibly has some version of TPR.
Transcription and translation and protein expression.
I briefly introduced the differences in post-translational modifications between human and EBO. This is hardly a surprise, as we often see the same thing between different terrestrial species. Obtaining a viable protein from a DNA sequence is a complex process involving hundreds of protein intermediates, each with a precise and essential role. A minor variation in this assembly line can lead to functional irregularities in the final product. So, it's no surprise that there are setbacks along the way when the first EBO gene transfection attempts failed to produce the desired functional protein in human cell lines. Fortunately for us, the work of what I imagine to be another team at another site has led to the development of an EBO cell line named EPI-G11 derived from epithelial tissues. With this tool in our hands, we were able to transfect and overexpress proteins of interest in order to eventually purify and study them. For your information, we use a biological ballistics delivery system (AKA gene gun) for our transfection needs because other methods are not very effective with cells of this line. For example, the viral vectors tested cannot be internalized by EPI-G11 and lipofection is too lethal. EPI-G11, like most eukaryotic cell lines, enters a phase of exponential growth when exposed to Fetal Bovine Serum. It's only half surprising that a cell line from such an exotic source should be sensitive to the growth factors present in FBS. In my opinion, this can be explained by the addition of animal genes to the genome, such as growth receptors.
Gross anatomy:
They are morphologically very similar to the gray aliens that are part of modern folklore. Their height is about 150cm, they have two arms, two legs and a head. Still, there are some notable differences.
Skin: The gray skin that is often described in folklore is in fact a biosynthetic film which, likely, serves to protect the EBO from a hostile environment. It doesn't provide effective protection against temperature changes, but it does offer adequate protection against the passage of liquids. It's possible that this film confers other advantages but my knowledge on the subject is limited. Under the gray film, the epidermis is rather white, and the texture is very regular and without any hair. We do not see any defect other than the folds near the joints. It's described as greasy in one report, but that's not something I've observed. The same report states that a strong, lingering smell of burnt hair and ammonia is present when the film is removed. There are a lot of pores on the skin, crossing from the epidermis to a gland in the hypodermis. These glands and pores are the terminal part of the excretory-sudoriferous system, which could explain the previously mentioned smell.
Head: The head contains two large, oversized eyes, two nostrils without protuberance, a narrow mouth without lips and two ear canals without auricles. There is a mandible, but the musculature is vestigial. There are no teeth or tongue in the oral cavity. The nasal cavity where the nostrils meet is compact and does not rise cranially but extends axially. There appears to be no equivalent to the olfactory bulb in the nasal cavity. The mouth leads directly to the esophagus and the nasal cavity to the trachea. The trachea and esophagus do not communicate.
Eye: Like the skin, the eyes are covered with a semi-transparent biosynthetic film that offers the same environmental protection, while providing protection against certain wavelengths and light intensity. When the film is removed, a more traditional eye is revealed. It's about three times larger than a human eye and there are no eyelids. The size of their eyes suggests they have excellent night vision. It seems paradoxical to cover them with a semi-opaque film. Perhaps they only need to wear it in a bright environment. Their sclera is the same color as their skin, the iris is pale gray, and the pupil is black and oversized. The lens is rounder than a human, and the muscles used to adjust focus are more developed. On the retina, there are at least 6 types of cone cells. The responsiveness of each of these 6 types of cone is specific to a wavelength band, with a minimum of overlap between each other. The result is a broader visible spectrum.
Ear: As mentioned, the outer ear has no auricle and the ear canal is unremarkable. The inner ear has all the characteristics of a typical vestibular and cochlear system, although the curvature of the cochlea is more pronounced than a human. This probably results in greater hearing acuity for low frequencies.
Brain: The brain is tetraspheric, composed of four major sections. The sections are separated by transverse and longitudinal fissures and are connected to the central lobe, which acts as brainstem and cerebellum. The volume of the brain is around 20% superior to that of a man of the same height. It has a much more pronounced level of gyrication than an average human. Furthermore, the ratio of glial cells to neurons is also slightly higher than in humans. It is important to mention the presence of nodules on the central lobe. Histological analysis of these structures reveals a kind of intricate biological circuitry. It is speculated that these nodes are essential to interact with their technology. Consequently, determining the proteome of these structures is an absolute priority for the program.
Neck: The neck is proportionally longer than that of a human, and at the same time relatively thin. As mentioned, the esophagus and trachea are separate. There are no vocal cords in this region.
Thorax: The musculature of the thorax is underdeveloped. Muscles equivalent to the pectoralis major can be seen. We can also see the trapezius and deltoid muscles. The sternocleidomastoids are well defined. The ribs and sternum are clearly visible. There are no nipples.
Abdomen: The abdomen is wider than the thorax and bulges slightly forward. There is no navel.
Pelvis: The pelvic bones are apparent. There are no genitals or anuses.
Hands and feet: Their hands have four digits, including an opposable thumb on the medial side. They have no nails, and the texture of their fingerprints is composed of concentric circles. Fingers are proportionally much longer than in humans. Unlike humans, finger musculature is entirely intrinsic to the hand. In other words, the muscles used to move the fingers are not in the forearms but entirely located in the hands. At first glance, the feet consist of just two digits, but a necropsy soon determined that each toe was made of two fused digits. The medial toe is marginally longer than the distal toe. The feet are relatively longer and narrower than in a human. Their musculature, however, is vestigial.
The EBO's endoskeleton is very similar to ours, at least in terms of composition. There's collagen, hydroxyapatite but also copper oxide crystals where marrow would normally be found. The role of these crystals has not been established, but it is not a crystalopathic condition. The blood cells of the myeloid lineage (or the equivalent for these creatures) therefore mature in a different location than in humans ie in the thymus like organ. A transverse section of the bone reveals osteon and osteocytes. There appear to be few osteoblasts and no osteoclasts. This indicates that the bones are no longer growing and cannot absorb the minerals present or adapt mechanically to changes in posture.
Biological system:
Respiratory system: Their cellular respiration is equivalent to ours, i.e. they need to oxidize organic components to produce energy. Their lungs have no reciprocating action, but rather have a unidirectional flow of air, similar to those seen in birds, which is more efficient than ours. It is speculated that this is in response to the brain's elevated metabolic needs. Vocalization is produced by vibration of the wall membrane at the junction between the two air sacs.
The Circulatory system of EBOs is rather analogous to ours. The heart is located in the mediastanum, but in a more medial position, directly beneath the sternum. The heart has two ventricles and two atria. There is an aorta, a pulmonary vein, a pulmonary artery and a vena cava. Blood flowing to the pulmonary capillaries via the pulmonary artery is pumped against the flow of air, maximizing gas exchange efficiency. The blood gas barrier is relatively narrow in these capillaries, at least compared to a human. Then oxygen-rich blood is returned to the heart and then expelled into the aorta and the rest of the body. Before returning to the heart, the blood will pass through the hepbarenal organ which, among other things, filters and controls osmotic pressure of the blood.
The blood itself is also analogous to that of a human. However, the proportion of plasma is much higher, albumin is in similar proportion, hormone levels are much lower, metal ion levels are much higher (particularly copper) and glucose levels are significantly higher. The color of the blood is brownish, given the higher proportion of plasma and concentration of metal ions. On the cellular side, there are erythrocytes which, in addition to hemoglobin for binding oxygen, display several complexes capable of binding copper ions. It's not clear what role these copper ions play but we believe it neutralizes blood ammonia, among other things. Several cell types with leukocyte characteristics have been observed, but no comprehensive knowledge of them exists. Platelets are present, but in smaller proportions than in humans.
Excreto-sudoriferous system: This system is completely different from what I've seen. As mentioned earlier, there is no large orifice, like an anus or urethra, to get rid of biological waste. Instead, there are countless small pores on the surface of the skin. There's a large medial organ called the hepbarenal organ, which acts as both kidney and liver and is central to maintaining homeostasis. This organ is highly vascularized and the blood must pass through it before returning to the heart. Its role is, among other things, to purify the blood of metabolic waste. Waste is excreted into the equivalent of a ureter, which branches out into four. Each branch flows towards one of the four limbs and in turn these branches divide until they end up as thousands of excretory pores. The motility of this excretory system is mediated by a weak peristalsis at the proximal level and on the four main branches. Peristalsis ceases around the first distal junction. As there is no urea cycle, the ammonia concentration at the exit of the hepbarenal organ is very high. This ammonia is carried to the pores and gives the distinct odor I mentioned earlier. The rationale behind this unusual excretory system is directly related to this excreted ammonia, which enables thermoregulation by evaporating on the skin's surface. The greater the physical effort, the greater the metabolism. This in turn leads to a rise in temperature, and a corresponding increase in metabolic waste via amino acid catabolism. This leads to an increase in filtration and ammonia excretion, which ultimately lowers body temperature.
Digestive system: The digestive system is extremely underdeveloped. There's no stomach in the familiar sense. However, there is a pseudo-stomach located at the transition between the thoracic and abdominal cavities. This organ is not involved in digestion, but only serves as a reservoir. A sphincter controls the flow of food into the intestine. The intestine is limited to the equivalent of our small intestine, ie it only serves to absorb liquids and nutrients and acts as the main digestion site. It has villi and microvilli like ours. The intestinal ends in the hepato-renal organ, where non-digested matter is transported to the ureter and excretory system. Residues are dissolved in the ammonia of metabolic waste for excretion. There's an organ near the pseudostomachal sphincter that secretes digestive enzymes directly into the intestine. This organ is inspirationally called the digestive organ. It secretes mainly proteolytic enzymes and glycoside hydrolases.
Given the absence of teeth, the narrowness and rigidity of the esophagus, the absence of a true stomach and the absence of defecation, it is strongly believed that EBOs can only consume food in liquid form. It is assumed that, given the high metabolic needs of their brains, this food would have a high carbohydrate concentration. In order to meet other metabolic needs, there must also be a high protein content in the food consumed. These two statements are supported by the type of enzyme secreted by the digestive organ. It is therefore speculated that the food consumed is a type of broth rich in sugar and protein, which probably also has a high copper content. Given the strict limitations on the type of food that they can consume, it's unlikely that this type of creature could survive in our biosphere without technological support.
Endocrine system: Knowledge of the endocrine system is minimal. We know that cells are receptive to bovine growth hormones, so it's assumed that certain functions are regulated by such a system. Endocrine mechanisms are very complex, and it goes without saying that they are best studied on living subjects.
Immune system: The immune system is another unknown. There seems to be an innate immune system but there doesn't seem to be any adaptive immunity, at least not similar to what is known. There's a thymus-like organ near the heart that's proportionally larger than in humans. This organ seems to be where all blood cells mature. Some cells have leukocyte characteristics such as granularity. The immune cells that germinate here have a high copper concentration. The surface receptors of innate immune cells have not yet been characterized, so we might as well say that all the work remains to be done.
Nervous system: The nervous system is also relatively similar. The spinal cord begins at the base of the central lobe of the brain and propagates down the vertebral column. In the vertebrae there are ganglia made of afferent and efferent neurons. In short, other than the CNS, there is nothing out of the ordinary.
Musculoskeletal system: The musculoskeletal system is very ordinary, albeit underdeveloped. Most of the human skeletal muscles have an equivalent. Only the hands, feet and forearms are different. It should be noted that the proportion of type 1 and type 2 muscle fibers is different from that in a human. Indeed, type 1 outnumbers type 2 by about a factor of 10.
Artificial system: We speculate that artificial molecular machines may be present in the body, and that copper, if present, would be essential to their function or assembly. Importantly, no AMMs have been observed.

Question 1: Amazing story. Have you shared this with the Senate Select Commission on Intelligence or with AARO and do you have evidence to back this up?
Thank you, no I haven't and no I won't. It sounds like a honey trap to me. I don't want to place my life in the hands of politicians. I have no proof other than this message. I know it's not much but it's what I'm prepared to offer
Question 2: Well that was a read ... So they are bio engineered worker bees... Any elemental components that are untributal to our biome ?
Yes, knowing that they're disposable, unable to live independently without technological support, and that they're ephemeral. The only suitable hypothesis is that they are alive only to accomplish their task. Can you clarify your question about elementary components?
Question 3: I haven't read everything in detail but can you expend on the document on their religion?
EBOs believe that the soul is not an extension of the individual, but rather a fundamental characteristic of nature that expresses itself as a field, not unlike gravity. In the presence of life, this field acquires complexity, resulting in negative entropy if that makes sense. This gain in complexity is directly correlated with the concentration of living organisms in a given location. With time, and with the right conditions, life in turn becomes more complex until the appearance of sentient life. After reaching this threshold, the field begins to express itself through these sentient beings, forming what we call the soul. Through their life experiences, sentient beings will in turn influence the field in a sort of positive feedback loop. This in turn further accelerates the complexity of the field. Eventually, when the field reaches a "critical mass", there will be a sort of apotheosis. It's not clear what this means in practical terms, but this quest for apotheosis seems to be the EBO's main motivation.
The author of the document added his reflections and interpretations as an appendix. He specified that, for them, the soul field is not a belief but an obvious truth. He also argues that the soul loses its individuality after death, but that memory and experience persist as part of the field. This fact would influence the philosophy and culture of EBOs, resulting in a society that doesn't fear death but which places no importance or reverence on individuality. This "belief" compels them to seed life, shape it, nurture it, monitor it and influence it for the ultimate purpose of creating this apotheosis. Paradoxically, they have little or no respect for an individual's well-being.
Please be advised that I'm speaking from memory of something I read more than 10 years ago, so take the following with a grain of salt. Also, I'm not a philosopher or an artist, so please excuse my struggle to properly formulate the concepts and my dry terminology. Finally, note that this information comes from a document whose author was directly interacting with an EBO. It is not specified whether it was an ambassador, a crash survivor, a prisoner. The means of communication were not specified either.
Question 4: Wtf he dropped the location of the lab
Battelle National Biodefense Institute. It is on google map
