If you’ve ever suspected your neighbor (or maybe even yourself) might be part alien, a new “study” won’t calm you down. Dr. Max Rempel, a molecular biologist with a PhD from the Institute of Gene Biology in Moscow, claims to have found strands of non-human DNA hidden inside certain families—and he says it may have been “inserted.”

Rempel analyzed genetic data from 581 families in the public 1,000 Genomes Project. In 11 of them, he says, large chunks of DNA appeared that didn’t match either parent. The anomalies—348 variants in total—couldn’t be chalked up to modern gene-editing tools like CRISPR, since the subjects were born decades before that technology existed.

The results, published by Rempel’s nonprofit DNA Resonance Research Foundation and yet to be peer-reviewed, go several light-
