In short, dude posts detailed biological information on what he calls EBOs (aliens!), details why he's convinced they are artificially created, and dives real deep into the genetics and how the body works. Very interesting read.

Tried to get an archive.org mirror, but it cuts the post off past the "read more" link. So, if someone else has a way to get that, lemme know!

The OPs account is "suspended". Not sure if that's exactly the same as deleted or not, so take that as you will.

Edit: Had GPT review it as someone with a PhD in biology, and it seemed to think that the claims could be possible, but obviously there isn't anything known that fits basically any of the claims made. So, more fuel for the fire I guess.

Anyway, throw up some ad and tracking blockers and then discuss. Balls to the wall crazy-time up in here.

Edit 2: Text was WAY too long to post here, so I did a pastebin of it. https://pastebin.com/ihAJxjPy

I didn't bother reading the whole thing because the thing that poked at me was evident throughout the first handful of paragraphs. This person, if they hold the title they claim to hold or have held, would have had to have written multiple research papers both prior to and likely in the course of the position.

Every single paragraph begins and ends with 'and this is what im going to tell you and why' in some way, shape, or form. It can be surmised that the OP of that post is located in the United States, probably somewhere near Fort Detrick, Maryland-- as they say that is where the lab is located, and further insinuate that they've seen the 'corpses' of these entities they speak of.

The United States may have shoddy education systems-- but if someone were to put in the work to become a molecular biologist, they would be writing in a different manner, both out of habit and so as to be taken seriously.

Anyway, I'm stoned, and if this claim wasn't written by chatGPT, the absolute failure that wrote it may have a future in the infowars circuit.

I had very similar thoughts while reading it. Well put.

[–] eugenia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I highly disagree with you, and several others who replied on that long article, and who also have understanding of molecular biology. They say the guy is legit. He even answered their questions on the comments, before his account got deleted mysteriously, with the mods not understanding why he was getting shadowbanned or by whom.

Probably because OP had GPT write it while pretending to have a PhD in biology...

[–] OneDimensionPrinter@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Always a big grain of salt with anything from GPT, but it's a heck of a lot of fun.

[–] NZV65572@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

So as someone who is formally trained in biology and has been working in the field for a while. I think it's pretty bogus that they would have four cadavers and only have sequenced one genome. There's a ton of sequencing happening even in the 2000-2010s. I think they would have sequenced every last piece.

Oh COOL. TIL you can also edit your links on Lemmy. Changed it to the archive link. Thanks again!

[–] OneDimensionPrinter@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Oh shoot, you're the best. Thanks. Way easier to read on old too.

[–] DaughterOfMars@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

If it's not real, it's a well-written and detailed piece of science-fiction. Writers create this kind of material every day, so it's certainly not something to take at face value. Add it to the bucket and we'll see eventually if it turns out to be real.

[–] 0Empty0@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Well, you've got to give the author credit. Real or not, that took a lot of work to write!

[–] dub@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Every time I see this I have to think what are the odds that this is not just some person wanting attention or maybe somebody off their medication a little bit versus an actual encounter. Given that we've never actually gotten real firsthand evidence, I'm always super skeptical of these claims

[–] OneDimensionPrinter@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh absolutely be skeptical. Sounds logical, but without evidence it's just a nice story really. But, a fun one. Also, amazing username.

[–] dub@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

True. I want to be believe and ask that.

And thanks!

[–] eugenia@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think the guy is for real, because if you read the mod's posts on his thread, you would see that something extremely fishy was happening with his accounts. Reddit had shadowbanned him, and after the mods explicitly green lit him, his replies were not showing up! And then he got his account deleted, and had to create a new one, only to get deleted again. Something fishy is happening over there, which by itself is a cause for concern for the guy/gal.

[–] OneDimensionPrinter@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Fishiness for sure. Didn't read all that before I posted, but have now. And his answers to many specific biological questions. Could all be BS, but the concepts could probably be easily debunked if it's just larp. But not much embellishment, just the answers to a lot of domain-knowledge questions. It's creepy.

[–] j4yt33@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

So I am very close to obtaining a PhD in molecular biology and I don't think there is anything wrong in there regarding the description of our known biology per se, but I find the level of information given a bit confusing. Who is the intended audience? It's nowhere near technical enough for a biology paper but then also too technical to just be directed at the general public. It reads more like something a nondescript scientist would say in a video game, like if you were to find notes in an abandoned lab after some unknown catastrophe kind of thing.

I would say it's a rather nicely written piece of sci-fi literature

[–] Squiglet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Pretty mind blowing stuff. Not sure what to believe. Some people in the comments saying there is something to this, others saying it is LARP. One thing I got from this which I was not aware of: Battelle
