A YOUNG Russian who says he was born on Mars claims he has been sent to Earth to save humans from an apocalyptic nuclear war.

Boriska Kipriyanovich, of Volgograd, Russia, alleged he lived on the red planet before being reborn on Earth along with "others" on a mission to save mankind.

He claims his own race of Martians was virtually wiped out in a nuclear conflict thousands of years ago and he fears we are now heading in the same direction.

Boriska's concerns come as tensions between The US and North Korea reach breaking point over trigger-happy Kim Jong-un's rapidly-expanding nuclear weapons programme.

He warns that we will face the same catastrophic fate as "his people" if we don't listen to his apocalyptic warnings.

Boriska - now 21 - says he is not the only child from outer space on Earth, claiming there are others like him who were also sent here on a specific mission to save humanity.

He claims they are all reincarnations and referred to as "Indigo Children" who have supernatural abilities and survived the Martian wars.

According to Boriska, many Martians are immortal and stop ageing at 35. They are very tall, technologically advanced and capable of interstellar travel.

He said: "I remember that time, when I was 14 or 15 years old. The Martians were waging wars all the time so I would often have to participate in air raids with a friend of mine.

"We could travel in time and space flying in round spaceships, but we would observe life on Earth on triangular aircraft. Martian spaceships are very complicated.

"They are layered, and they can fly all across the Universe."

Boriska's own parents are convinced their gifted son is telling the truth about his previous life on Mars.

“When we showed our boy to a variety of scientists, including ufologists, astronomers and historians, all of them agreed that it would be impossible to make all those stories up," said Boriska's mother.

Doctors of traditional medicine acknowledge the boy's unusual abilities, although they do not say, of course, that they believe he used to live on Mars in his past life.

Researchers have described him as an extremely shy young man with above-average intelligence.

His outstanding knowledge of the planetary systems has confounded experts around the world, including scientists.

Boriska’s mother is a doctor and says she knew he was special as soon as he held his head up without any support just two weeks after being born.

She claims he started speaking a few months later and by the age of one and a half was able to read, draw and paint.

Boriska’s mother and father didn’t teach him anything about space as a child but say he would often sit and talk about Mars, the planetary systems and alien civilisations.

They say his fascination with space soon became his number one interest - and it wasn't long before he started claiming to have been born on Mars.
