Since I only have one copy of the gene, maybe that's why I only hit one out of four, there.
Given that evolutionary genetics is kind of my thing, I happen to know that the actual origin of the Rh negative allele is a mutation that occurred something like fifteen thousand years ago in the Basque region of Spain, where the gene is still most common. (My mom's ancestry is mostly from western France, so her being Rh-negative is no real surprise.)
Anyhow, I proceeded to forget all about my alleged alien ancestry until yesterday, when a friend and loyal reader of Skeptophilia sent me a link to a site called Galactic Anthropology, which (1) expanded the alien blood type thing to include everyone with type O blood, and (2) launched me down a rabbit hole that it took me over an hour to escape from.
The post in question contains information from someone called "Myrah," who is supposedly a "Sirius B/Pleiadian hybrid" and who is "a medical specialist specializing in interdimensional implant technologies." Whatever the fuck that means. As far as her having ancestry from Sirius B, allow me to point out right here that Sirius B is a white dwarf star, the companion star to the (much) brighter Sirius A (from our perspective, the brightest star in the sky other than the Sun). Being a white dwarf, it's the leftover core of a large-ish star that burned through its fuel and then went nova, so it's a little hard to figure how any inhabitants of planets orbiting it would have survived.
Maybe Myrah's family escaped because they're "interdimensional," I dunno.
Then, there's the problem that the other half of her ancestry is from the Pleiades, which is an entire cluster of stars, so I don't know how that'd work, either.
Anyhow, there's an illustration of Myrah on the site, and she looks a little like the love child of Uma Thurman and one of the aliens from Avatar:
Which, of course, runs up against the minor difficulty that this never happens.
I'm a case in point, in fact. My mom was O-negative, meaning she had O-type blood but lacked the Rh antigen. My dad was A-positive. If Myrah was right, I'd be sterile, and I have two boys who are completely normal except for the fact that they both look like me, which is unfortunate but not life-threatening.
Oh, and I also found out that if you are O-negative, you are less likely to be eaten by Reptilian aliens, because they "dislike consuming their own blood." Probably accounting for how my mom made it to 84 without being eaten by Reptilians.
So because the whole blood type thing was kind of a non-starter, I decided to peruse the site a little more. And that's when I vanished down a rabbit hole of weirdness that I still haven't recovered from. Here are a few of the articles I found:
I swear I didn't make any of these up, even the last one, which includes the sentence, "After you’re done, some kind of haze comes up from below to make sure everything is very hygienic, and it leaves a nice smell behind, perhaps the smell of the Erran Oshksha flowers?"
Ha-ha, sure! Erran Oshksha flowers! Just like my grandma used to grow in her garden near Betelgeuse!
In any case, apparently O-type blood and Rh-negative blood both come from aliens. Possibly explaining why my family is weird as fuck. To the loyal reader who sent me the link, I just want to say thanks for convincing me that I understand my fellow humans even less than I thought I did. But if "Myrah" has any more missives from Sirius B and/or the Pleiades, I'd just as soon not know about them. I'm still going to have a while before I'm done processing what I learned about Atlantis, interdimensional implant technologies, and atomic space toilets.

Hi Gordon, I am the author of the website and I really enjoyed reading your analysis! It sure is out of the ordinary alright! And the Pleiadean parent of Myrah is from Erra, the biggest planet orbiting Taygeta, also known as Ashaara by the locals.
