What people
call them.

Fifty names in wide circulation, each one checked against what the archive actually holds. 22 of them track nothing at all. Where a name does track something, the line that matters is not the star it is said to come from. It is the country whose archive holds the file.

The archive holds a working entry for this form.

  • Insectoids

    Chitinous/other insectoid. Targeted audit pending; no official file located.

    In the roster as INS-02 Chitinous

  • Mantids

    Head and forelimb geometry must be mantis-specific, not a thin Grey with large eyes.

    In the roster as INS-01 Mantid

  • Amphibians Claimed origin: Water Worlds Reported in United States (3), Brazil, Denmark, Spain, USSR/Russia, Venezuela — 8 cases across the other morphology family, not this name in particular

    Requires anatomical adaptation, not merely an encounter near water.

    In the roster as OTH-02 Aquatic

  • Avians Reported in United States (3), Brazil, Denmark, Spain, USSR/Russia, Venezuela — 8 cases across the other morphology family, not this name in particular

    Requires real feathers, beak or anatomical wings.

    In the roster as OTH-07 Avian

  • Energy Beings Reported in United States (3), Brazil, Denmark, Spain, USSR/Russia, Venezuela — 8 cases across the other morphology family, not this name in particular

    Luminous humanoid. Anchored only on Talavera, which is a press clipping inside an official file.

    In the roster as OTH-04 Luminous

  • Aquatics Claimed origin: Ocean Planets Reported in United States (3), Brazil, Denmark, Spain, USSR/Russia, Venezuela — 8 cases across the other morphology family, not this name in particular

    Same slot as Amphibians. The poster splits one class into two.

    In the roster as OTH-02 Aquatic

  • Zeta Reticulans Claimed origin: Zeta Reticuli Reported in France (2), Russia (USSR) — 3 cases across the grey-like family, not this name in particular

    The poster lists this twice - entry 1 and entry 26 are the same claimed thing.

    In the roster as GRY-02 Short Grey

  • Tall Whites Reported in Argentina, Brazil, United States — 3 cases across the humanlike family, not this name in particular

    Extreme pallor plus stature. White clothing alone is insufficient.

    In the roster as HUM-03 Tall White

  • Cybernetic Aliens Claimed origin: Artificial Worlds Reported in United States (3), Brazil, Denmark, Spain, USSR/Russia, Venezuela — 8 cases across the other morphology family, not this name in particular

    Robotic/synthetic. One weak lead: the Voronezh robot, press-level only.

    In the roster as OTH-03 Robotic

  • Plasma Entities Claimed origin: Plasma Dimension Reported in United States (3), Brazil, Denmark, Spain, USSR/Russia, Venezuela — 8 cases across the other morphology family, not this name in particular

    MoD Project Condign, ESA and DOE support plasma phenomena and self-organisation. They do NOT support a sentient plasma species. Plasma Dimension is invented.

    In the roster as OTH-05 Plasma

Why this page exists

Most writing on this subject starts from the names and works backwards to find records that fit. This archive starts from the records, so a name only earns an entry when something in the record carries a body plan behind it. Where nothing does, the name stays on this page with the reason attached rather than quietly disappearing.

A tracked form is still only as good as its evidence tier, and most of them are Reported. Tracked means the archive has somewhere to put it, not that anyone has established it exists.
