THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY

Katayy

The name of their homeworld is said to translate as “born from the brilliant star” — and it’s one of the only concrete details in a record built almost entirely from two contactee accounts that agree on little more than skin tone and a shared origin in Sirius A.

Name: Katayy

AKA: Possibly related to the “Kantarians,” a separate name referenced by Joshua David Stone with no cited source and no confirmed connection to the Katayy — noted here as an open naming question, not a confirmed alternate name.

Location – Home System: Sirius A system, on a planet named Kashta (also referenced as Ashkera).

Distance from Earth: Sirius A itself is approximately 8.6 light-years from Earth as a matter of astronomical fact; this figure is not separately stated in either source about the Katayy specifically.

Attitude: Described as benevolent and “not very political,” interested in “arts and spiritual development” rather than “diplomacy and conquests.”

Motives: Not elaborated beyond a stated interest in arts, spiritual development, and connection to nature. No further detail is offered in sourcing.

Physical Appearance: Red-skinned, per both sources consulted — described by one as “tanned and red,” with the other noting other skin tones reportedly exist within the species.

Average Height: Not specified in sourcing.
Average Weight: Not specified in sourcing.
Body Temperature: Not specified in sourcing.
Pulse/Respiration: Not specified in sourcing.
Blood Pressure: Not specified in sourcing.
Life Expectancy: Not specified in sourcing.
Hair: Not specified in sourcing.
Skin: Red or tanned-red. Other tones are said to exist within the species.
Eyes: Not specified in sourcing.
Sex: Not specified in sourcing.

Other Physical Information: None documented beyond skin tone.

Special Traits and Abilities: Not specified in sourcing.

Communication Type: Not specified in sourcing.

Origin: A Taal-Lyran colony that migrated from Vega to Sirius A, settling the planet Kashta.

Life Form Type: Humanoid race of Lyran/Vegan descent, per sourcing.

Subspecies: None documented.

Most Common Species: Not specified in sourcing.

Level of Species: No classification is offered in any source. Not applicable.

Habits: Reported to use “spiritual healing technologies that work with sound and color,” and to have reportedly terraformed their homeworld Kashta using “sound and etheric geometry.” No examples or mechanisms are described in either source.

Transportation Type: Not specified in either source.

Witnesses Reports: No named witnesses or dated cases exist in sourcing. Information derives entirely from two contactee-style secondary accounts — Alex Collier, as compiled on Exopaedia, and Elena Danaan’s A Gift from the Stars — neither independently corroborated.

Special Features/Characteristics: None documented beyond red/tanned skin tone.

Summary/Description: A humanoid, red-skinned species of Lyran/Vegan descent, described as a Taal-Lyran colony that migrated from Vega to settle the planet Kashta in the Sirius A system. Sourcing describes them as benevolent, apolitical, and oriented toward arts and spiritual development rather than diplomacy or conquest. They are explicitly stated to not be part of the Ashtar Collective, and are said to cooperate with the Galactic Federation of Worlds on unspecified scientific work.

DETAILED REPORT

The Katayy entry rests on two contactee-style sources rather than any independently investigated case, and that distinction matters for how the material should be read. Alex Collier, whose claims are compiled on the Exopaedia website, is the origin point: he describes the Katayy as a humanoid race of Lyran/Vegan descent in the Sirius A system, red-skinned though with other tones reportedly present, benevolent, “not very political,” connected to nature, and users of unelaborated sound-and-color healing technologies. None of these claims come with supporting detail or example in the source itself.

Elena Danaan’s A Gift from the Stars offers the most specific material available: she names the Katayy a “Taal-Lyran colony” that migrated from Vega to Sirius A, settling a planet she calls Kashta — a name she translates as “[born] from the brilliant star.” She confirms the red/tanned skin tone independently of Collier, states the Katayy prioritize arts and spiritual development over diplomacy or conquest, and explicitly states they are not part of the Ashtar Collective, a detail worth preserving given how often Sirian-associated groups get folded into that structure by assumption. She adds a general claim that they terraformed Kashta using sound and “etheric geometry,” and that they cooperate with the Galactic Federation of Worlds on scientific matters — again, without examples.

Muller separately notes a claim by Joshua David Stone regarding a group called the “Kantarians,” also from Sirius and also described as benevolent, said to have “assisted both the Lemurian and Mayan civilizations.” No source is given for this claim, and no confirmation exists that the Kantarians and the Katayy refer to the same beings. It’s presented here as an open naming question rather than folded into the Katayy record.

RESEARCHER’S NOTES
Red-Skinned and Little Else — What’s Actually Documented About the Katayy

Source Chain — Contactee-Derived, Not Independently Verified: Both primary sources here, Alex Collier and Elena Danaan, are contactee/channeled testimony rather than investigated cases. That doesn’t disqualify the material from this archive, but it should be read as testimony, not established record.
Fabricated Data Removed: A full biometric panel, two named subspecies, a “Level 5” classification, Merkaba craft powered by collective consciousness, “Melodic Telepathy,” and an entire essay on “Sirian Blue Light” DNA telomere repair were all invented. None appear in either cited source. The “Records of the Order of Melchizedek” citation does not correspond to any identifiable source.
A Real Named Detail Worth Keeping: Kashta, and its stated meaning, is a genuinely sourced specific — one of the more concrete details anywhere in this entry — and is more interesting on its own than the invented mythology it was previously buried under.
An Explicit Denial, Preserved: Danaan’s account states plainly that the Katayy are not part of the Ashtar Collective. That’s worth stating directly rather than omitting, since Sirian-associated groups are frequently assumed into that structure without a stated source.
A Naming Ambiguity, Left Open: The “Kantarians” reference may or may not describe the same beings as the Katayy. Muller flags it as unsourced; this page preserves that uncertainty rather than resolving it either way.

Corrected from three essays of invented cosmic mythology to what’s actually on record: a red-skinned Lyran/Vegan colony from a named planet, described only in the broadest strokes by two contactees whose claims don’t extend much further than that.
