THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY – Alcyone

Correction Notice: This entry has been rebuilt from its actual primary source. The previous version described a hostile reptilian type with no connection to that source and no citation beyond this site’s own archive. It has been replaced entirely. The real Alcyone contact case describes a benevolent, decades-long relationship, not a predatory one.

In rural St. Cloud, Minnesota, a man named Lloyd Zirbes was first contacted in 1958 by a being who told him to call him Michael. The contact continued for decades, kept private at Zirbes’ own request. Michael said he came from the Alcyone star system in the Pleiades, healed Zirbes’ son of an illness modern medicine couldn’t treat, and eventually taught him physics complex enough that Zirbes had to take college courses just to follow it — all in service of something Michael called “Project Redemption.”

Name: Alcyone

AKA: No species name is given in the source; the individual contact identified himself only as “Michael”

Location – Home System: The Alcyone star system, in the Pleiades star cluster

Distance from Earth: Alcyone, the brightest star in the Pleiades, is roughly 440 light-years from Earth by real astronomical measurement. The source itself gives no distance figure.

Attitude: Protective and long-term in outlook. Described as healing a family member, teaching advanced physics, and warning of environmental and nuclear dangers over the course of a decades-long relationship.

Motives: Framed around a stated long-term initiative called “Project Redemption” — preparing contactees to help stabilize Earth following a natural, cyclical cataclysmic event the source describes as unavoidable. Warnings about ionosphere damage and the effects of nuclear radiation are also part of the documented contact.

Physical Appearance: Undocumented. No physical description of Michael or any Alcyonian being appears in the source material reviewed.

Average Height: Undocumented
Average Weight: Undocumented
Body Temperature: Undocumented
Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented
Blood Pressure: Undocumented
Life Expectancy: Undocumented
Hair: Undocumented
Skin: Undocumented
Eyes: Undocumented
Sex: Michael is referred to with male pronouns throughout; no broader sex distribution is documented

Other Physical Information: None documented

Special Traits and Abilities: Reportedly healed a medical condition in Zirbes’ son that conventional medicine could not treat. Demonstrated advanced physics knowledge, including a framework Zirbes later termed the “Falling Bodies Theory,” explaining why suns, planets, and satellites don’t collide in free space.

Communication Type: Direct verbal dialogue aboard the contact craft, including instructional sessions using onboard viewing screens

Origin: Alcyone star system, Pleiades

Life Form Type: Categorized here as Humanoid based on general contact-case conventions; not an explicit physical description in the source

Subspecies: Undocumented

Most Common Species: Undocumented

Level of Species: Undocumented; the source does note that Michael declined to specify further planetary or civilizational detail about Alcyone when asked

Habits: Undocumented beyond the pattern of the contact relationship itself

Transportation Type: An alien craft aboard which Zirbes received instruction; no technical description of the craft is given

Witnesses Reports: The primary witness is Lloyd Zirbes of rural St. Cloud, Minnesota, whose contact with Michael reportedly began with an abduction in 1958 and continued for decades. Zirbes kept the case private by choice and worked with UFO researcher Wendelle Stevens on its documentation, requesting that his full identity not be published until after his death. The resulting account, UFO Contact from Alcyone, runs 137 pages and includes Zirbes’ own physics paper, “The Falling Bodies Theory.”

Special Features/Characteristics: The source draws an explicit comparison to the separate Billy Meier/Semjase contact case, in which the contact identified her home as the planet Erra, orbiting a sun in the Taygeta system (a different part of the Pleiades). Michael neither confirmed nor denied a similar planetary arrangement for Alcyone. The two cases should be treated as separate, non-corroborating claims that happen to both originate from the Pleiades.

Summary/Description: A decades-long, privately kept contact case between Minnesota resident Lloyd Zirbes and a being identifying himself as Michael, from the Alcyone star system in the Pleiades. The relationship is documented as protective rather than adversarial — a medical healing, physics instruction, and a long-term project aimed at preparing humanity for a coming natural cataclysm.

Related Cases: The Billy Meier/Semjase contact case (Taygeta system, planet Erra) is referenced within the same source as a comparison point, not as corroboration. A separate, unnamed 1975 Pleiadian contact case involving ionosphere warnings is also mentioned in the source’s introduction but is not part of the Zirbes case itself.

DETAILED REPORT

The previous version of this page had nothing to do with its subject. “Alcyone Reptilians” — a hostile, predatory type engaged in “Service to Self” and neural manipulation — shares no detail with the actual documented Alcyone contact case, and its only citation was to this site’s own archive, which is not a source at all. The real case is one of the more benign, if still unverifiable, contact narratives in Wendelle Stevens’ catalog: a private, decades-long relationship kept out of the public eye at the witness’s own request.

What makes the Zirbes case distinct from many contact claims is its lack of dramatic incident. There’s no crash, no abduction spectacle beyond the initial 1958 event, and no urgent warning delivered once and never repeated. Instead, the source describes an ongoing relationship centered on healing, instruction, and a long time horizon — “Project Redemption” is explicitly framed as preparation for a future event, not an immediate intervention.

RESEARCHER’S NOTES

A Case With No Villain — Alcyone and the Absence of Physical Description

Source Chain Assessment: This is a named, published, co-authored account (Zirbes and Stevens) rather than an anonymous compilation entry. That’s a stronger sourcing position than most entries on this site, though it remains a single witness for the central claims.
Total Replacement, Not Correction: Unlike most audits on this site, this wasn’t a case of embellishment on top of a real source — the previous page’s content had no relationship to the source at all. It’s archived below for the record, but none of it should be read as a “toned-down” version of anything real.
Notable Absence: No physical description of Michael appears anywhere in the reviewed material. That’s unusual for a contact case of this length and worth flagging rather than filling in.
Cross-Case Caution: The source itself explicitly compares this case to the Meier/Semjase contact, but Michael’s refusal to confirm similar planetary details means the comparison shouldn’t be read as confirmation of either case.
Evidentiary Weight: A single, long-term witness with no independent corroboration. The 1958 origin date and the decades-long duration are notable claims but rest entirely on Zirbes’ own account as relayed by Stevens.

What the record actually supports is a quiet, private, decades-long relationship — not the hostile encounter the previous version of this page invented. Michael healed a child, taught a farmer physics, and asked for nothing but privacy in return. Whatever one makes of the underlying claim, it deserved to be represented as what it actually is.

The source describes an ongoing “Project Redemption” being carried out for Earth’s future benefit.
