Quick Info
Former U.S. Air Force sergeant Dan Sherman claims he was genetically engineered by Grey aliens before birth as part of a long-term human-alien hybridization program. In the 1990s he says he was recruited into a highly classified NSA program called Project Preserve Destiny, where he worked as an "Intuitive Communicator", trained to telepathically send and receive messages with extraterrestrials.
Dan detailed his extraordinary experiences in the 1997 book *Above Black*. He claims to have communicated with at least two Grey beings he nicknamed “Spock” and “Bones.” Whether one believes the story or not, it remains one of the most detailed and consistent insider accounts of alleged human-alien psychic programs ever published.
Dan Sherman’s Early Life and Military Background
Dan Sherman joined the U.S. Air Force in the 1980s and worked as an electronic intelligence specialist. He says his connection to extraterrestrials began long before his military service. According to Dan, his mother was abducted and implanted while she was pregnant with him. He believes this was done so he would be born with enhanced psychic abilities specifically suited for communicating with Grey aliens.
Discovery and Recruitment into Project Preserve Destiny
In the early 1990s, while still in the Air Force, Dan says he was approached by superiors who knew about his unique background. He was told he had been selected for a special program because of his “natural abilities.” After passing rigorous security checks, he was brought into Project Preserve Destiny, a deeply classified initiative reportedly run jointly by the NSA and elements of the U.S. military.
The goal of the project, according to Dan, was to train a small number of specially prepared humans to act as intuitive communicators with non-human intelligences, primarily Greys. He underwent intensive training that allegedly awakened and refined his latent telepathic abilities.
What He Claims to Have Experienced
Once trained, Dan says he regularly communicated with at least two Grey beings. He nicknamed them “Spock” and “Bones” because of their distinct personalities, one logical and matter-of-fact, the other more emotionally expressive. The communication wasn’t spoken; it came as clear, precise thoughts or “downloads” directly into his mind.
“It wasn’t like talking with words. It was more like entire concepts and packets of information appearing fully formed in my mind. Very clear and very fast.”

He claims the messages involved intelligence sharing, monitoring of abduction activity, and long-term coordination between humans and the Greys. Some of the information he received allegedly concerned future events and technological developments.
The Genetic Breeding Claims
One of the most provocative parts of Sherman’s story is his belief that he, and others like him, were part of a multi-generational genetic program. He says Grey aliens, working with elements inside the U.S. government, have been subtly modifying certain human bloodlines for decades to improve compatibility and telepathic ability. Dan believes he was “designed” from before birth to be particularly good at this kind of contact.
“They didn’t just pick me randomly. I was bred for this. My mother was taken and I was altered while I was still in the womb.”

Later Details from Interviews and Regression
In more recent interviews (especially the long 2025 conversation with Jesse Michels), Dan expanded on his experiences. During a hypnotic regression session with Sarah Breskman Cosme, he recalled additional emotional and symbolic layers, including a strong feeling that the Greys viewed the program as mutually beneficial, and that the holographic symbols he saw were connected to ancient knowledge or even the Orion star system.
He has always maintained that while some deeper impressions surfaced during regression, his core memories of the communications and the technology he saw are vivid and consistent across decades.
Reception and Skepticism
When Dan published *Above Black* in 1997, it created ripples in the UFO community. Supporters appreciate the level of detail and his consistent storytelling over many years. Critics point out that the story relies almost entirely on his personal testimony and that some elements (such as a literal sign reading “Off World Technology”) feel almost too convenient. To date, no named second witnesses or official documents have been made public to corroborate the existence of Project Preserve Destiny.
