Two sources, two irreconcilable descriptions — the Magell case file remains open.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
Magell
The Magell surface in the record as one of the thinnest-documented entries in the archive: a supposedly peaceful, nocturnal species said to hold two permanent bases in South America, said to have been kept by the Brazilian military for over a decade — and yet, by the account of the very source that names them, never actually described. No home star is stated. No appearance is stated. What exists instead is a scattering of unexplained claims — insect and rodent “harvests” by the thousands, a 20-year visitation cycle, a single unremarked sighting near Oaxaca — and, from a second contactee source, a flatly contradicting description of them as reptilian. The Magell are less a documented species than a gap in the record with a name attached to it.
Name: Magell
AKA: Magel (alternate spelling, used interchangeably with “Magell” across sources)
Location – Home System: Undocumented in the primary source (Santori’s Alien Races Book states origin is not given). Elena Danaan separately claims they originate from Grumium Eltanin (Epsilon Draconis) — sources conflict and neither is corroborated.
Distance from Earth: Undocumented
Attitude: Described as peaceful and shy toward humans; no direct human contact is claimed
Motives: Undocumented — the source states the reason for their insect/rodent harvesting is unknown
Physical Appearance: Undocumented in the primary source, which states plainly that no description of them is provided. A separate, conflicting account (Elena Danaan) describes them as “Red Reptilian” beings resembling dinosaurs — the two sources cannot be reconciled.
- Average Height: Undocumented
- Average Weight: Undocumented
- Body Temperature: Undocumented
- Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented
- Blood Pressure: Undocumented
- Life Expectancy: Undocumented
- Hair: Undocumented
- Skin: Undocumented (Danaan’s separate, conflicting account describes them as reddish/reptilian in color)
- Eyes: Undocumented
- Sex: Undocumented
Other Physical Information: Undocumented
Special Traits and Abilities: Nocturnal; no other traits or abilities are documented
Communication Type: Undocumented
Origin: Undocumented in the primary source; Danaan’s conflicting account names Grumium Eltanin (Epsilon Draconis)
Life Form Type: Undocumented in the primary source (Danaan’s conflicting account describes them as reptilian)
Subspecies: None documented
Most Common Species: Undocumented
Level of Species: Undocumented
Habits: Harvest insects and rodents by the thousands on a monthly basis, for reasons not stated; otherwise non-interventionist and avoid contact with humans
Transportation Type: Undocumented
Witnesses Reports: A single reported sighting near Oaxaca, Mexico in 2003, with no further detail given in the source. A separate claim holds that the Brazilian military kept three Magel individuals in custody for approximately twelve years — how this came to be known is not stated in the source.
Special Features/Characteristics: A claimed 20-year visitation cycle, with the primary source placing the most recent visit around 2016; a separate account reusing that figure would place the next visit in 2036
Summary/Description: The Magell are a minimally documented species attested only through a single secondary compilation. That source describes them as peaceful, nocturnal, and shy, credits them with two unlocated South American bases and an unexplained monthly harvest of insects and rodents, and states that Brazilian military custody of three individuals lasted roughly twelve years — while explicitly declining to offer any physical description. A separate, later account attaches an entirely different physical identity — reptilian, dinosaur-like — to the same name, without reconciling the contradiction.
Source: Santori, Alien Races Book (ARB), 2011, p. 38; Elena Danaan, A Gift from the Stars, 2020, p. 154 — both as presented and cross-referenced in Jake Muller, A Guide to ETs/Star Nations and Beings (M–Z), Vol. 2, 2024, pp. 27–28.
Related Cases: None documented.
DETAILED REPORT
The Magell entry rests on a single named compilation, Santori’s Alien Races Book (2011), which states outright that it does not know where the Magell come from and offers no physical description of them. What the ARB does claim is a specific, if unsupported, behavioral and historical profile: a peaceful, strictly nocturnal species regarded as “shy” by unnamed other races, maintaining two unlocated bases somewhere in South America, and engaged in an unexplained monthly harvest of insects and rodents by the thousands. The ARB further states that the Brazilian military held three Magel individuals in custody for roughly twelve years, and that the species is revisited by others of its kind on a 20-year cycle, with the most recent such visit placed around 2016. A single sighting is attributed to 2003 near Oaxaca, Mexico, again without supporting detail. In every case, the ARB gives no account of how this information was obtained, and no named witness, document, or agency is cited in support of the custody claim or the sighting.
A second source, contactee-author Elena Danaan, addresses the same name in A Gift from the Stars (2020) and repeats much of the ARB’s material without crediting Santori. Where Danaan diverges is significant: she describes the Magel as “Red Reptilian” beings resembling dinosaurs, and gives their point of origin as Grumium Eltanin (Epsilon Draconis) — a physical and locational identity nowhere present in, and incompatible with, the ARB’s silence on appearance and origin. Danaan does reuse the ARB’s 20-year visitation figure, which — measured forward from the 2016 date given in the ARB — would place a further visit around 2036.
No independent case file, military record, or additional witness account beyond these two secondary compilations has been located for the Magell. The entry is presented here strictly as these two sources describe it, without supplying the physical, biometric, or classificatory detail that neither source provides.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
The Magell — South America 2003–2016 and the Problem of an Undescribed Species
- Classification Correction: This entry previously carried a full biometric panel — height, weight, body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, life expectancy, skin and eye description — along with a named communication method, a species classification tier, and two specific witness events (a 1977 Colares “Chupa-Chupa” survey and a 1952 Matto Grosso expedition log). None of this appears in either cited source. Santori’s ARB states explicitly that no description of the Magell is provided; the biometric fields, the sub-aural communication claim, the cloaking ability, and the named historical sightings beyond Oaxaca 2003 have all been removed as unsupported and replaced with “Undocumented” per archive standard.
- Source Chain Assessment: The ARB is the sole named origin point for the core behavioral claims (nocturnal, shy, South American bases, insect/rodent harvest, Brazilian custody, 20-year cycle). Danaan’s later account repeats this material largely without attribution but introduces an incompatible physical and locational identity. Neither source documents its own evidentiary basis — the ARB does not explain how the Brazilian custody claim or the 2003 sighting became known, and Danaan does not explain the basis for the reptilian description or the Epsilon Draconis origin. Both should be treated as unverified secondary compilations rather than primary testimony.
- Physical Evidence / Evidentiary Weight: No photograph, recovered specimen, military document, or third-party corroboration is cited for the claimed twelve-year Brazilian custody of three individuals — a claim of this magnitude, if true, would ordinarily leave some documentary trace. None is offered by either source, and none has been located independently. The claim is recorded here as reported, not as established.
- Geographic and Historical Context: The single sighting location given — near Oaxaca, Mexico, in 2003 — sits apart from the claimed South American base locations, with no explanation offered for the discrepancy in region. No supporting entry for this sighting has been found in independent South American or Mexican UAP sighting catalogs consulted for this archive.
Stripped of the invented biometric detail that had accumulated around it, the Magell record amounts to very little: an unexplained monthly harvest, an unlocated pair of South American bases, an unverified twelve-year custody claim, and — depending on which of two mutually exclusive secondary sources one credits — either an undescribed shy nocturnal being or a red reptilian dinosaur-like one. The entry stands as documented only to that thin and internally contradictory degree, pending any primary source that has yet to surface.
Elena Danaan describes the Magel as “Red Reptilian” beings who resemble dinosaurs
— a description flatly at odds with the ARB’s statement that no description of them exists.
