I'm so sorry, honestly my meaning wasn't anything against the OP or the thread, I just did a very poor job explaining myself...
I was attempting to convey that I didn't think Negative RH blood was likely an indicator of anyone's particular interest in the topic at hand -
- which is why I started by posting my own blood type - because even though I have positive RH, I do have a high interest in UFO/aliens...
Apologies for the confusion!
As a B+ blood type
because even though I have positive RH

I am blood type 'B' and have Positive RH...
Was it not correct then, when I wrote that I was "B+ blood type"?
Because that was the way they expressed it back in 1981, when I donated blood for the very first time.
(We need a 'scratching my head' emoji )
Blood type contains information about the presence (+) or absence (–) of the Rh factor. Blood type is indicated by a letter (A, B, or O) and a symbol (+ or –). If a person has B negative (B–) blood, for example, that person is Rh-negative. A person with B positive blood (B+) is Rh-positive.
Overview. Rh factor is an inherited protein found on the surface of red blood cells. If your blood has the protein, you're Rh positive. If your blood doesn't have the protein, you're Rh negative. The "+" or "–" you might see after your blood type refers to Rh positive or Rh negative.

What about the Ones!? The "universal donors"??
I saw a show years ago (can't remember the source) that said there's an even rarer type of blood, the Null blood which has NO proteins at all. There's only a handful on the planet and have agreed to drop everything if needed for transfusion for another. They can only accept blood from another Null!
The rarest blood type in existence is Rhnull blood. This stuff is characterized by a complete lack of antigens in the Rh system, which is the largest blood group system. This includes the D antigen (Rh factor, baby), plus the other 50-something antigens in the group. This blood type is so rare that only 43 people on Earth have ever been reported to have it, and there are only nine active donors. Until 1961, doctors assumed a person lacking all Rh antigens would never even make it out of the womb alive. "It's the golden blood," Dr. Thierry Peyrard, the Director of the National Immunohematology Reference Laboratory in Paris, told Mosaic.
Besides making someone feel really special, Rhnull and other rare bloods are extremely valuable. "Because Rhnull blood can be considered 'universal' blood for anyone with rare blood types within the Rh system, its life-saving capability is enormous. As such, it's also highly prized by doctors – although it will be given to patients only in extreme circumstances, and after very careful consideration, because it may be nigh on impossible to replace," Mosaic reports.

B RH negative here, I always known I don't belong to this place or time, if I get abducted, I would consider it more like a rescue mission, this place called earth is getting crazier and crazier

For what it's worth, I'm O negative and I was abducted from the 1960s to the 1990s. And family members as well.

I am A- blood type. My mother, her mother, my sister, my daughter all are A-. My brother, my father my son are all A+. I was given rhogam when I had my son so my body wouldn't build up antibodies. But my daughter was negative so it would not have been a problem.
In the OP one of the most important problems with having negative bloodtype is having children. A mother can only have one positive child that doesn't have problems. Any subsequent positive children either don't survive to be born, or have birth defects. This comes from the mothers body interpreting the positive child as a foreign invader that her immune system attacks. In my moms generation, they had not yet discovered the Rhogam drug that suppresses this immune rejection.
That, in my mind, shows without doubt that negative blood type came from a different species.
I meet most the criteria you listed above. Red hair, green eyes, cold body temp. I didn't know about extra vertbrae or not able to clone.
Here is an interesting coincidence in my family. My son married a woman with A- bloodtype. She had two sons, both positive and was given Rhogam after the first.
Back in the day, my second grandson would not have survived.
We are rare. Only 6 of 100. So why was my son attracted to her?
Irish and Basque (my DIL is from Mexico) are the dominate ancestry for this blood type. My daughter did the 23 and me thing, and came back Basque, but we know from family history that we are Irish. So I know they were guessing!
ETA: I have never been abducted nor ever have seen a UFO. But my father saw one hovering over our peach orchard back in the early 70s in NM near White Sands, where he worked. A tictac. But he called it a stubby white cigar.

#. I had every one of those categories except for RH negative blood. And... no joking here... the missing time event my family had 40 years ago still makes me wonder.
Can animals have Rh negative blood?
Yes they do! As long as the animals in question have blood (not all do) then they will have species-specific 'blood groups'.
