In 2003 we had a DNA analysis that used human-only primers to recover the Starchild's mitochondrial DNA, the DNA outside the nucleus, which comes from the mother and her genetic line. That meant its mother was human. But we could not recover its nuclear DNA, which comes from both mother and father, which meant its father was not a human.

G'day again VneZonyDostupa
Do you think anybody else here is reading the info we've posted?

Well I didn't ask for your opinion and i could care less if you agree or disagree.
Nor could I care less if you asked for my opinion or not. That's not how the board works and your not the gatekeeper of opinions.
My concern was in general due to the fact that this board has been inundated with a lot of negative posting in the last months.
Your concern was clearly that there are too many skeptics at ATS, hence the 'Skeptic Magazine' comment. Here's my perspective whether you asked for it or not...
The board is inundated with more poppycock each day. We live in a virtual avalanche of unsubstantiated, fantasy prone, delusional BS here that only serves to mask the real phenomena.
Most of the negative and aggressive posting comes from the believer crowd. Go back and re-read this thread if you want to see where the personalized attacks (the truly negative posting) and general bitterness are coming from.
There are some very fragile people here who cannot stand alternative opinions to their own. I say to them - "Get Over It"! "Grow A Pair"!
So I'm sorry to stop your enthusiasm in shaping the "real truth" but you misunderstood my reply.
You do nothing to stop my enthusiasm. Check your ego and stop patting yourself on the back mate. I completely understood your post and your subsequent reply verifies that.
It just looks like you have a case of sour grapes!

Trace Genetics was not able to recover useful lengths of nuclear DNA or Y-chromosomal DNA for further testing, so it remains unclear if the Starchild's father is infact, human.[7]

Incorrect. Read the article go to his website.
Based on a study that used a small part of Otzi's mtDNA, many people came to believe they are his descendants. But a recent study (October 2008) that analyzed his complete mtDNA sequence suggests that he has no living descendants...as far as we now know.
Unlike nuclear DNA (which contains genetic information from both parents and which deteriorates rather rapidly after death), mtDNA lasts much longer

OK, enough is enough!!!! Not only has VneZonyDostupa put more then enough information to show that the article/theory isn't even credible, but we have the OP(Squirrel Nutz), who hasn't even engaged in a debate with VneZonyDostupa. Why is Squirrel Nutz dodging the issue? If he feels so strongly about how much "evidence" there is about ET life, then please, do all of the believers, and your sorry thread a chance, and debate actual issues, instead of quoting people who say "yeah, ET's are real", and then saying how much you agree.
Squirrel Nutz, why can't you debate actual facts and issues with VneZonyDostupa? He has contributed more to this thread, and has given the most insight, then any member here, and yet, you keep dodging him. Why is that?

Scott:
Any request for funding alternative research never goes over well with mainstream sycophants, even though every mainstream scientist rabidly seeks out their next infusion of grant money. What an incredible double-standard those jerks live by! And for what it's worth, this is only the SECOND time I've asked for help from my mailing list in the past six years. I got $1200 a few weeks ago, the geneticist has burned through that, and now he needs more. So sue me.....
As for the arguments about the DNA test that said the Starchild carried an X and Y chromosome, that was carried out in late 1999 and has since been proved to be done by incompetents who arrived at a completely wrong answer. And Wikipedia won't allow the posting of ANY accurate information relating to ANY alternative subjects because they are such sniveling toadies for the mainstream's views. When anyone tries to get accurate alternative information anywhere onto Wiki, the Wiki boneheads inform us that they know our subjects better than we do, so they refuse to change anything. It's the worst kind of irresponsible (if not illegal) runaround you can imagine. We just try not to worry about it because we definitely can't get a fair shake from them.
As for our "mystery" geneticist, he wants to finish the work he has to do to nail it down without mainstream naysayers tyring to dismiss his results before they're even formalized. He'll do that in another two or three weeks. But he already has enough proof to go public, which I did. He just has to double and triple his evidence so exactly the kinds of knee-jerk defenders of the mainstream faith who keep commenting on the string will be cut off at the knees before they can get their dudgeon cranked up into a higher-than-normal degree of pique...... ;-)

Why would you debate? You made a thread that said *PROOF* of alien visitation, and now you're telling us you're an amateur, and don't even really have a full understand of the subject? Even the finding by Pye aren't conclusive, which is a little misleading to the title of this thread that you made. This isn't proof, this is just someone who thinks there is proof, and is dismissing any other scientist telling him otherwise, by calling them "incompetents".

I am not the expert, I am only posting the findings, and addressing points I see that he has already refuted - research yourself, or go to Lloyd Pye's site, contact the man, and debate the topic with the source? He'll respond.
After the first 3 pages, I emailed him the link, and already heard back...

That's good work asking Pye directly for his position here. I'd applaud you if I could
Nevertheless, Pye's assertions haven't changed at all over the years. His email quote has several points that underline his attitude towards science. His terms are pretty emotional and dismissive. The quote that I think says most about his Starchild Skull is...

It's been the 'completely wrong answer' ever since he first took the skull to his local doctor and asked them to look at it. The 'wrong' answer is 'Lloyd, it's human.' Until one scientist says it's an alien skull, Pye will continue to despise them and keep looking for the 'right' answer....

By the way, if you actually believe Pye, then how much have you donated?
He's just been waiting for the right opportunity this whole time - it seems his wait is over.
