A dossier-style portrait of a Korendian, based on the physical description documented in the Bob Renaud/Lin-Erri contact case.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY – Korendian
In July 1961, an 18-year-old radio amateur in Massachusetts, tuning through the shortwave bands, heard a beep drown out the BBC — and when he tuned in closer, a soft feminine voice calling itself Lin-Erri greeted him by name from a spaceship above Earth.
Name: Korendian (also rendered Korendrian, Korendi, Korendii). Inhabitants of the planet Korendor.
AKA: None confirmed under this species name.
Location – Home System: Planet Korendor, third of twelve planets orbiting the star Korena, in the Boötes constellation approximately 3 degrees from Arcturus.
Distance from Earth: Approximately 400–411 light-years. Sources vary slightly on the exact figure.
Attitude: Stated as non-interventionist by principle, though primary testimony describes at least one instance — a reported Vietnam War rescue — in which they broke their own stated non-interference policy.
Motives: Per primary testimony, described purposes include scientific and sociological study of Earth, education in what they call “Universal Law,” and prevention of nuclear war — collectively referred to in the source as “Project Terra.”
Physical Appearance: Confirmed in detail across two independent sources — the contactee’s own testimony and a secondary Exopaedia compilation. One notable discrepancy: Exopaedia attributes their short stature to 3.2 times Earth’s gravity on Korendor; the primary source states Korendor’s gravity is roughly 2 times Earth’s. Both figures are presented here rather than resolved in favor of either.
- Average Height: 4 to 5 feet (1.2–1.5 m).
- Average Weight: Not specified in either source.
- Body Temperature: Not specified in either source.
- Pulse/Respiration: Not specified in either source.
- Blood Pressure: Not specified in either source.
- Life Expectancy: Not confirmed numerically. The primary contact, Lin-Erri, is described as appearing 18–20 years old while giving an age described as “the equivalent of 74 of your years” — an ambiguous data point the source doesn’t clarify further, not a confirmed species-wide lifespan.
- Hair: Described as naturally hairless. Note: this directly conflicts with the primary source’s separate description of Lin-Erri as blonde-haired — a genuine inconsistency in the sourcing, preserved here rather than silently resolved.
- Skin: Described as white in tone but appearing tanned.
- Eyes: Deep blue, with smaller pupils attributed to their home star’s greater brightness.
- Sex: Male and female.
Other Physical Information: Ears smaller than a Terran’s, lobeless, distinctly peaked, pressed close to the head. Nose small with slit nostrils. Rounded head with a proportionally larger cranial cavity. Thick, sinewy neck; compact, powerfully muscular torso, attributed to higher home-planet gravity. Hands proportionate to a human’s but with slightly longer fingers and discernible webbing between thumb and hand.
Special Traits and Abilities: Not specified beyond the described technology they employ. No claim of superhuman strength on Earth appears in either source.
Communication Type: Initial contact was conducted via shortwave radio, using a described translator device linking spoken sound to telepathic impulse; contact later expanded to include modified television transmission and eventually in-person meetings.
Origin: Planet Korendor, orbiting the star Korena, Boötes constellation.
Life Form Type: Humanoid, physically distinct from Terrans in the specific ways described above. No claim of Lyran/Nordic genetic descent appears in either source; that ancestry claim has been removed.
Subspecies: None documented.
Most Common Species: Not specified in sourcing.
Level of Species: No Kardashev-style classification is offered in any source. Per primary testimony, Korendor is a longstanding member of a stated 740,000-planet governing body referred to as the Universal World Alliance (also called the United Worlds Alliance); Earth itself is described as not yet a member.
Habits: Primary testimony describes an extensive planetary civilization with its own history, economy, and culture — far beyond what can be summarized here. See Detailed Report.
Transportation Type: Disc-shaped scout craft and much larger carrier (“mother”) ships, described in extensive technical detail in the primary source as using combined magnetic and gravity-based propulsion.
Witnesses Reports: Robert P. Renaud, an 18-year-old ham radio operator working for General Electric in Massachusetts, reported first contact via shortwave radio in July 1961 with a Korendian woman identified as Lin-Erri. Contact reportedly progressed over several years to television transmission, in-person meetings, and travel aboard Korendian craft. Renaud’s account was first published by Gabriel Green in UFO International Magazine and later as a book, written with the assistance of John Dean. A researcher, referred to in secondary material by the surname Grise, met Renaud in 1967 and, despite initial skepticism, came to regard him as a credible, unusually unselfpromoting witness. Wendelle Stevens later republished and preserved much of the case material. Renaud reported an underground Korendian facility in Massachusetts, used for a described coordinating conference referred to as “Project Terra.”
Special Features/Characteristics: Discernible webbing between the thumb and fingers; peaked, lobeless ears; a proportionally larger cranial cavity than a Terran’s.
Summary/Description: A short, physically distinct humanoid species from the planet Korendor, in the Boötes constellation near Arcturus. The fullest documented case is that of Robert P. Renaud of Massachusetts, whose radio contact with a Korendian woman named Lin-Erri began in July 1961 and developed over several years into television communication, in-person meetings, and reported travel aboard Korendian craft. Sourcing describes Korendor as a longstanding member of a stated 740,000-planet alliance and references an underground Korendian facility in Massachusetts. Some specific figures — home-planet gravity, and species-wide biometrics beyond height — vary or are unconfirmed across sourcing.
Source: Robert P. Renaud (contactee), first published by Gabriel Green; UFO Contact from Korendor (book, written with John Dean, later republished and preserved by Wendelle Stevens — full compiled text on file); Exopaedia, “Korendor”; Bibliotecapleyades, “Korendian” (Alien Species Active in Earth’s Evolution); cross-referenced via Jake Muller, A Guide to ETs/Star Nations and Beings, Vol. 1 (2023).
Related Cases: El Ka’s Cosmic History of Us Galactic Humans in the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxies, Vol. 2, separately describes the Korendians as “the child race of the Arcturian race,” present to assist with humanity’s “Ascension” — a distinctly different framing from the Renaud material, presented here as a separate claim rather than merged into this profile.
DETAILED REPORT
Unlike most entries in this audit, the Korendian page’s physical description held up well against primary sourcing — the earlier version’s account of Korendian anatomy is confirmed in close detail by both the contactee’s own testimony and a secondary Exopaedia compilation. What needed correction was everything built on top of that accurate core: invented numeric biometrics with no basis in either source, a fabricated subspecies structure, an invented Kardashev classification, and — most seriously — an entirely fabricated “channeled transmission” presented as a direct quote from the Korendians, which appears nowhere in any source consulted and has been removed in full.

The case itself is unusually well documented. Robert P. Renaud, an 18-year-old radio amateur and General Electric electronics technician living in Massachusetts, picked up an anomalous signal on his shortwave set in July 1961 and was greeted by a woman identifying herself as Lin-Erri, from the planet Korendor. Contact developed over years — first via radio, then modified television, eventually in-person meetings and reported travel aboard Korendian craft. Renaud kept detailed notes and, with the help of John Dean, produced a lengthy written account later published and preserved by Wendelle Stevens. A researcher referred to as Grise visited Renaud in 1967, initially skeptical, and came away describing him as sincere and notably uninterested in self-promotion.
Two genuine inconsistencies surfaced during this correction and are worth stating plainly rather than resolving in either direction. First, Exopaedia attributes Korendor’s short-statured inhabitants to a home-planet gravity of 3.2 times Earth’s; the primary Renaud material states the gravity is roughly 2 times Earth’s. Second, sourcing describes Korendians as naturally hairless, yet the same primary source separately and specifically describes Lin-Erri as blonde-haired. Neither conflict is resolved here — both are simply what the sourcing says.
The earlier version’s “Arcturian-Korendian Alliance” framing also understates what’s actually claimed. Primary testimony describes a vast governing structure — the Universal World Alliance, alternately called the United Worlds Alliance — with a stated 740,000 member planets, an elected World Central Committee, and a described headquarters near or on a planet called Arcturia. Korendor is presented as a longstanding member of this alliance; Earth is explicitly described as not yet admitted, still working toward qualifying criteria involving social and economic reform.
Two names from the earlier version of this page — “Colin Boyd Cameron” and a comparison to a “Lanolus” people via John Keel’s work — could not be located in any source consulted for this correction. They are flagged here as unverified rather than restated as fact.
It’s worth noting plainly that the primary source is extremely long — extending well beyond the initial contact into detailed accounts of Korendor’s planetary geography, history, economy, legal system, and religion. That level of internal detail is unusual for a contactee case in this archive, and it comes from one continuous account rather than independently corroborated witnesses. There’s substantially more material in the primary source than this summary profile captures, and it may be worth a dedicated case write-up in the future.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
A Well-Documented Case, Corrected and Expanded
- Physical Description Confirmed, Mostly: Nearly every anatomical detail on the earlier version of this page traces accurately to real sourcing. Only the specific numeric biometrics beyond height — weight, temperature, pulse, blood pressure, life expectancy — were fabricated additions with no basis in either source.
- A Genuine Gravity Discrepancy: Exopaedia states 3.2 times Earth gravity; the primary Renaud material states roughly 2 times. Both are presented here rather than silently resolved.
- A Hairless Species with a Blonde Contact: Sourcing states Korendians are naturally hairless, yet separately describes the primary contact, Lin-Erri, as blonde-haired. This internal inconsistency is preserved rather than corrected away.
- The Alliance Structure Corrected: Not simply an “Arcturian-Korendian Alliance,” but a stated 740,000-planet governing body, with Korendor as a longstanding member and Earth explicitly not yet admitted.
- A Fabricated “Transmission” Removed: The earlier version included an invented quoted message purportedly transmitted by the Korendians. No such passage appears anywhere in the primary source or the secondary compilations consulted. It has been removed in full.
- Two Unverified Attributions: “Colin Boyd Cameron” and a comparison to “Lanolus” people via John Keel’s research could not be located in any source consulted. Flagged rather than dropped outright, in case supporting material surfaces later.
Corrected from an accurate physical description buried under invented statistics and a fabricated quoted “transmission,” to a properly sourced case: a named contactee, a named contact, a documented chronology beginning in July 1961, and an honest account of where the sourcing genuinely disagrees with itself.
