Claims that the CIA may have secretly searched through the DNA data of millions of Americans to identify possible alien-human hybrids have resurfaced online, despite no supporting evidence and no confirmation from any US government agency. The allegations drew renewed attention after author Jason Reza Jorjani — a philosophy PhD known for his books on Iranian mythology and supernatural phenomena, as well as past associations with far-right political movements — discussed an alleged covert programme during an appearance on the 'American Alchemy' podcast.
Jorjani claimed the intelligence operation was linked to efforts to locate individuals believed to possess extraterrestrial ancestry connected to a race of aliens known as the 'Nordics.' The extraordinary claims have reignited debate surrounding UFO disclosures, government secrecy and the growing concerns over how consumer DNA information may be accessed and used.
