Were Recent Radio Signals From Proxima Centauri Evidence of Alien Life?
The mystery signal from space… what was actually broadcast from Proxima Centauri?
In December 2020, news broke of a mysterious signal coming from the area of Proxima Centauri. Ufologists and astronomers were excited by the news as the planet Proxima B may be able to host life. The signal was originally detected in the spring of 2019 by the Breakthrough Listen Project using the Parkes Telescope in Australia. But the significance of what they found was only recently made public.
But what was so intriguing about this transmission?

Is Rh-Negative Blood Alien In Origin?
As humans, we believe we evolved from apes, and the Rh factor in our blood even derives its name from the Rhesus Macaque. But when it comes to the antigens in our blood, there’s a small percentage of the population with a strange anomaly, leading some to question if Rh-negative blood is alien in origin.
History of Rh-Negative Blood
Discovered in 1940 by Dr. Karl Landsteiner and Alexander S. Wiener, the Rh factor, named after the Rhesus monkey, is a protein present on the surface of red blood cells. Blood that lacks this protein is classified as Rhesus-negative or Rh-negative.
There are 35 blood group systems organized by our genetic structure, each producing specific antigens—molecules that trigger immune responses. In the Rh system, there are 61 antigens, with the D antigen determining whether blood is Rh-positive or Rh-negative. This sensitive protein can react negatively if it encounters Rh-positive blood.
When an Rh-negative woman is pregnant with an Rh-positive baby, her body may see the fetus as a foreign threat and produce antibodies that attack it, leading to a condition called hemolytic disease. Fortunately, Rh-D immunoglobulin can prevent this reaction, ensuring the safety of both mother and baby.
Rh-negative blood plays a crucial role in blood transfusions and maternal-fetal health, underscoring its importance in understanding Rh blood groups and human genetics.
