The CIA has been accused of secretly searching through DNA databases to find people who may have alien ancestry.
The claim comes from philosophy PhD and science fiction writer Jason Reza Jorjani, who says he learned about the alleged program from retired US Army sergeant Lyn Buchanan.
Buchanan has said he once worked as a "remote viewer" for the US government. He was involved in a program testing whether people could use supposed psychic abilities to gather information.

Jorjani claimed on the American Alchemy podcast that the CIA has a secret way of accessing DNA databases from companies such as 23andMe and Ancestry.com.
According to him, they are looking for people with DNA linked to a race of aliens known as the Nordics, who are described in UFO stories as very tall, human-like beings with blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin.
Jorjani alleged that some of them are living in small towns in Colorado. "They live in like small towns in the [Colorado] Rockies and they pass because they look like tall Scandinavian people," he added, cited by Daily Mail.
The writer has also said that Buchanan was once approached by three Nordics in a diner, and they told the retired US Army sergeant they had escaped a "tyrannical" government on their own world and moved to Earth.
Jorjani said they had children with humans and now wanted their families to live normal lives.
"So he said, 'Look, we know that Kit Green at the CIA has some program to access the 23andMe and like whatever, Ancestry.com, databases through some backdoor and that they are screening whoever signs up for these services for a specific genetic variance from the normal Homo sapiens population which the CIA knows to be the genetic marker of these Nordics,'" Jorjani claimed during the November 2025 episode.
Christopher 'Kit' Green worked for the CIA for around 20 years and has been open about his involvement in remote-viewing research. However, he left the agency in 1985, years before 23andMe and Ancestry were founded.
Buchanan spoke about DNA testing in a 2023 interview, saying that he would not use 23andMe because he believed government officials were interested in people whose DNA results could not be easily identified.
He told the Through A Glass Darkly podcast: "There is a wedge on the pie chart, you know Germanic, African and all this. There's a wedge called 'other,' which means unknown unidentifiable and there are, from what I found out, there are government people who are looking into that wedge."
Ancestry says it has more than 30 million people in its DNA network. 23andMe has also been used by more than 15 million people.
Jorjani also claimed that people with Nordic ancestry may not even know about it.
"They said, 'Look, our children, especially our grandchildren, have no idea where they're from. We tell them stories about how, like their grandparents are from Sweden or whatever, and they don't know,'" Jorjani said regarding Buchanan's encounter.
"You know, we just want them to have lives of peace and liberty here in America. But the CIA wants to hunt them down," he added.
The Pentagon has maintained for years that it has found no proof that the US government has evidence of extraterrestrial beings or technology.
Despite this, some politicians and former officials have publicly discussed similar claims.
Missouri Representative Eric Burlison has said former intelligence officer David Grusch told him that President Donald Trump had been briefed about alleged alien species and hybrids. However, he also said Grusch could not explain how anyone would be able to identify an alien-human hybrid.
In addition to this, former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz alleged that a member of the US military told him about secret facilities where alien-human breeding programs were supposedly taking place.
Gaetz said he was told there were between six and 12 facilities around the country.
