The '''Exobiospheric Organisms Molecular Biologist''' (often referred to as the "EBO whistleblower") is an anonymous individual who, in July 2023, posted on the popular Reddit forum [[r/aliens]]. Known by the handle u/EBOscientistA, this individual claimed to have worked as a molecular biologist contracted by a national security entity to study "Exo-Biospheric Organisms" (EBOs). The post detailed technical claims regarding alleged EBO biology, genetics, and morphology.

==Overview==
In the original post, the whistleblower described their role as a molecular biologist engaged in examining the genetic and proteomic structure of EBOs. According to the account, the research team aimed to analyze the unique molecular biology of these organisms, supposedly involving a genetic makeup that combined terrestrial and unknown elements. The whistleblower’s claimed work focused on DNA compatibility, including mechanisms by which EBOs could theoretically express certain human genes.

The individual stated their reason for disclosing this information as a desire to break what they saw as governmental secrecy on extraterrestrial life and non-human intelligent beings (NHIBs). However, they acknowledged the limitations of an anonymous disclosure and the impact on the credibility of the information provided.

==Alleged Research and Work Environment==
The whistleblower claimed that the laboratory was located in Fort Detrick, Maryland, with research taking place in a restricted section. According to the post, research was conducted under biosafety levels 2 and 3 (BSL-2 and BSL-3) rather than maximum containment. EBO samples were stored at -80°C, vacuum-sealed to maintain specimen integrity. The subject described the EBO samples as incomplete and damaged, with speculation of fatal trauma as the cause of their condition.

===Biological and Genetic Descriptions===
The alleged EBO genome is described as comprising 16 circular chromosomes, with high degrees of repetitive intergenic DNA, suggesting design rather than natural evolution. Despite these similarities to terrestrial life, the EBO genome is reportedly distinct in several ways, such as specific post-translational modifications.

The subject claimed that EBOs possess immune properties distinct from humans, theorizing an evolved resistance to pathogens and unique cellular adaptations. The compatibility of EBO genetic material with human cellular machinery was cited as a significant finding, though no further specifics or evidence was provided to substantiate these claims.

===Claims and Reception===
The whistleblower's Reddit post gained significant attention, primarily due to its detailed and technical language, which some readers saw as indicative of specialized knowledge. Discussions in online forums and media largely remained skeptical, highlighting the lack of corroborative evidence and the anonymous nature of the disclosure.<ref name="originalpost">{{cite web|title=EBO Biologist Q&A|url=https://aedes.notepin.co/ebo-biologist-qa-reddit-2023|access-date=12 October 2023}}</ref>

Discussions on platforms such as [ResetEra](https://www.resetera.com/threads/r-aliens-whistleblower-does-a-q-a.739014/) and [Metabunk](https://www.metabunk.org/threads/biologist-claims-to-have-studied-alien-bodies-ebos-exo-biospheric-organisms.13031/) reveal a mixed reception. Some users viewed the account as a plausible insider report based on its technical language, while others interpreted it as speculative fiction. Skeptics argue that the whistleblower’s claims align with longstanding conspiracy theories about extraterrestrial secrecy, whereas proponents suggest that the level of technical detail might point to authenticity.<ref name="metabunk">{{cite web|title=Biologist Claims to Have Studied Alien Bodies (EBOs): Exo-Biospheric Organisms|url=https://www.metabunk.org/threads/biologist-claims-to-have-studied-alien-bodies-ebos-exo-biospheric-organisms.13031/|access-date=12 October 2023}}</ref>

The whistleblower’s post also spawned a minor subreddit, [r/EBOs](https://www.reddit.com/r/EBOs/), dedicated to discussions about the claims.<ref name="ebo_subreddit">{{cite web|title=r/EBOs subreddit|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/EBOs/|access-date=12 October 2023}}</ref>

[[Garry Nolan]] commented on the Reddit thread, challenging the community to analyze the claims logically. He suggested that competent molecular biologists could critically evaluate the information presented.<ref name="nolan">{{cite web|title=Garry Nolan's comment on the EBO thread|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/aliens/comments/14rp7w9/comment/jqy45xa/|access-date=12 October 2023}}</ref><ref name="nolan_summary">{{cite web|title=Garry Nolan's reply about the EBO molecular biologist claims|url=https://next.lemm.ee/post/758257|access-date=12 October 2023}}</ref>
