The Clarions, per source, physically indistinguishable from Earth humans — shown here at their documented average heights (female 5'5", male 5'9").
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
CLARION
Italian painter and journalist Maurizio Cavallo describes Clarion, seen from space, as “a wonderful blend of crystal blue and mimosa” — a binary-sun world of snow-capped peaks and pearl-colored rivers some 150,000 light-years away, whose human-like inhabitants he says have visited him since an abduction in 1981.
Name: Clarion (meaning “Splendore,” or “Splendor,” in the Clarian language, per Cavallo)
AKA: Clarians. “The Aquilans,” “The Human-Plus,” and “The Silent Confederates” are not reported in Cavallo’s own account or fabricated.
Location – Home System: Per Cavallo, a binary planet in the Aquila (Eagle) constellation, located within a separate galaxy from our own.

Distance from Earth: Approximately 150,000 light-years, per Cavallo’s consistently repeated account across his books and interviews — the prior version’s “16 to 20 light-years” is a substantial error and has been corrected.
Attitude: Per Cavallo, benevolent and philosophically-minded, though his early contact experiences caused him significant psychological distress before he came to understand them.
Motives: Per Cavallo, sharing knowledge about existence, time, space, and universal law; part of a “confederation” of contacted civilizations.
Physical Appearance: Human-like, per Cavallo’s photographs and descriptions. Not reported in any source or fabricated: the precise numeric biometrics below.
- Average Height: Not specifically quantified in Cavallo’s account; described generally as human-like.
- Average Weight: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Body Temperature: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Pulse/Respiration: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Blood Pressure: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Life Expectancy: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Hair: Not specifically detailed in Cavallo’s account beyond general human-like appearance.
- Skin: Not specifically detailed beyond human-like appearance; the “inner glow” description is not directly attributed to Cavallo’s own words.
- Eyes: Not reported in any source or fabricated with this level of specificity.
- Sex: Male and female, consistent with human-like appearance, per Cavallo’s photographs (which he says depict individuals by name).
Other Physical Information: Cavallo has stated the Clarions describe themselves as vegetarian, though he has also described them eating fish in his accounts — a specific inconsistency noted by readers of his books and worth flagging for anyone assessing internal consistency.
Special Traits and Abilities: Per Cavallo, his contact photographs reportedly show unusual light effects (flashes) around the beings, which he attributes to their absorbing light when photographed.
Communication Type: Not specifically detailed as telepathic-only; Cavallo describes direct conversations with named individuals.
Origin: Clarion, per Cavallo — a binary-star planet (orbiting two suns) in the Aquila constellation, within a separate galaxy roughly 150,000 light-years from Earth. Because it orbits two suns, Cavallo describes it as having no true night, only a brief twilight before an almost perpetual bright day.
Life Form Type: Human-like humanoid, per Cavallo.
Subspecies: Not reported in any source or fabricated (“Ambassadors” and “Guardians” castes do not appear in Cavallo’s own terminology).
Most Common Species: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
Level of Species: Not reported in any source or fabricated (“Level V” classification has no traceable origin in Cavallo’s own writing).
Habits: Not specifically detailed beyond the general “confederation” and knowledge-sharing framing in Cavallo’s books.
Transportation Type: Per Cavallo, he was taken aboard the beings’ craft, including one referred to as the “Kethos,” described as an “astro-dimensional cruiser” in his later book “Alle Sorgenti del Tempo.”
Witnesses Reports: Maurizio Cavallo (also known by the name “Jhlos”), born 1952 in Vercelli, Italy — a painter, journalist, public speaker at international conferences, and instructor at the Università Popolare di Vercelli. His contact experience began with an abduction in 1981 and is documented across three books: “Oltre il Cielo” (2005), “Alle Sorgenti del Tempo,” and “Fulgori dall’Abisso.” His case has been examined by researchers including Paola Harris and Jaime Maussan, per the original source citation (paolaharris.com).
Special Features/Characteristics: Per Cavallo, the Clarions asked him to withhold his photographs from public release for ten years as a test of his commitment before he eventually published them.
Summary/Description: In his book “Oltre il Cielo” (“Beyond the Sky/Heaven”), Italian painter and journalist Maurizio Cavallo describes a contact experience beginning in 1981 with human-like beings from a planet called Clarion — a binary-star world in the Aquila constellation, located within a separate galaxy roughly 150,000 light-years from Earth, whose name means “Splendor.” Cavallo describes Clarion as lush and mountainous, with pearl-colored rivers and circular cities, and states the beings are part of a broader “confederation.” His case remains under examination by researchers including Paola Harris and Jaime Maussan.
Source: Maurizio Cavallo, “Oltre il Cielo” (Verdechiaro Edizioni, 2005) and subsequent books; interviews conducted with Cavallo (e.g., Verso il Sole, versoilsole.it); Paola Harris’s documentation at paolaharris.com/cavallo.htm.
Related Cases: None directly documented as connected; Cavallo’s account references Zecharia Sitchin’s theories in passing, though this is Cavallo’s own commentary rather than a substantiated connection between the two.
DETAILED REPORT
Maurizio Cavallo is a real, named, and identifiable individual — an Italian painter and journalist born in 1952 in Vercelli, who has spoken at international conferences and taught at the Università Popolare di Vercelli. His contact narrative, beginning with a reported 1981 abduction, is documented across three published books and numerous interviews conducted over decades, giving this entry an unusually well-documented single-source foundation by this archive’s standards.
The most significant error in the prior version was the stated distance to Clarion: Cavallo consistently describes the planet as located in a separate galaxy approximately 150,000 light-years away — not the “16 to 20 light-years” given previously, a difference of roughly four orders of magnitude. Cavallo also provides specific, vivid detail about Clarion’s physical environment (a binary-star system producing near-perpetual daylight, snow-capped peaks, pearl-toned rivers, circular cities) that was omitted from the prior version’s more generic planetary description, and describes the name “Clarion” as meaning “Splendore” (Splendor) in the beings’ own language.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
Clarion — A Real, Named Contactee, With a Major Distance Error
- Critical Correction: Cavallo’s own account gives the Clarion system’s distance as roughly 150,000 light-years, not 16-20 — a substantial factual error in the prior version.
- Restored Detail: The binary-star nature of Clarion (producing near-perpetual daylight) and the meaning of its name (“Splendor”) are genuine details from Cavallo’s own interviews, omitted from the prior version.
- Source Fidelity — Biography: Cavallo’s real biographical details (birth year, hometown, profession, publication history) are now accurately included.
- Minor Inconsistency Noted: Readers of Cavallo’s books have pointed out an internal inconsistency — the Clarions are described as vegetarian yet also depicted eating fish — worth noting for anyone assessing the account’s internal consistency.
- Fabrication Flag: Precise biometrics and the “Level V” classification are not part of Cavallo’s own published account.
- Evidentiary Weight: Single-contactee testimony from a named, identifiable, long-documented individual, examined by named researchers (Harris, Maussan) without independent verification of the underlying claims. Filed as CONTACTEE material, single-source.
Maurizio Cavallo is a real person telling a specific, consistent, and well-documented story — the correction here isn’t about fabrication so much as getting his own stated facts right, starting with a distance figure that was off by a factor of thousands, and restoring the vivid planetary detail his own account actually provides.
“Clarion, seen from space, is a wonderful blend of crystal blue and mimosa… a most brilliant gem set in the black velvet of the cosmos.” — Maurizio Cavallo, describing his approach to the planet, in an interview with Verso il Sole.
