Small, Grey, and faintly luminous — the actual "Shining Ones," not a silicon giant.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
Moovianthan-Kayphik
The real nickname for this entry — “The Shining Ones” — never made it onto the live version of this page, replaced instead with “The Geo-Synthetics” and a silicon-crystal giant that appears nowhere in any source. What is actually documented describes something much smaller: small Greys with “hollow eyes,” said to have met with world leaders, played an unspecified role in Siberian and Tibetan culture, and been glimpsed by an abductee and, famously, by science-fiction author Philip K. Dick.
Name: Moovianthan-Kayphik (spelling variants across sources include Moovianthan Kay Phixaka and Moovianthan Kay Phixakaazarek)
AKA: The Shining Ones
Location – Home System: The Vulpecula constellation; two sources specify the Nebula Phykxa, identified as NGC 6940 — which mainstream astronomy classifies as an open star cluster, not a nebula, a discrepancy neither source resolves. Not “Moniantha System,” a name that does not appear in any source reviewed.
Distance from Earth: 297 light-years, per the primary source — not 142 light-years, as previously stated on this page
Attitude: Undocumented in detail; historically willing to exchange limited technology with human governments in return for permission to conduct abductions
Motives: Sought agreements with world governments to trade limited technology for the ability to abduct humans; the primary source specifically notes that they do not involve other races in their own abductions
Physical Appearance: Described by one source as “small Greys” with “hollow eyes.” No other physical detail — no height, skin type, or build — is given in any source reviewed, and nothing supports the tall, obsidian-skinned, silicon-based profile previously presented here.
- Average Height: Undocumented; described only as “small”
- Average Weight: Undocumented
- Body Temperature: Undocumented
- Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented
- Blood Pressure: Undocumented
- Life Expectancy: Undocumented
- Hair: Undocumented
- Skin: Undocumented
- Eyes: “Hollow eyes,” per the source — no further detail on color or shape is given
- Sex: Undocumented
Other Physical Information: Undocumented
Special Traits and Abilities: Capable of interdimensional travel — said to be the origin of the “Shining Ones” nickname, though the source does not explain the connection between the two
Communication Type: Undocumented
Origin: Vulpecula constellation; the Nebula Phykxa (NGC 6940)
Life Form Type: Described as “small Greys,” part of a broader “Grey Collective”
Subspecies: None documented
Most Common Species: Undocumented
Level of Species: Undocumented
Habits: Historically met with at least two US presidents and multiple USSR/Russian leaders to trade limited technology for the ability to conduct abductions without involving other races; played an unspecified but significant role in Siberian and Tibetan culture; cooperate with the “Orion Alliance” as members of the Grey Collective
Transportation Type: Undocumented
Witnesses Reports: Reported to have been encountered by Tibetans and American Indians in isolated locations during secret religious rituals, with one of their tasks said to be guarding Earth’s sacred sites. Abductee Betty Andreasson is reported to have seen them. Science-fiction author Philip K. Dick is separately reported to have had an encounter with one of these beings that “imposed itself on him with a personality and a computer like voice.”
Special Features/Characteristics: Said to have colonized more than 40 planets outside our solar system, without further detail; maintain bases reportedly hidden inside north-facing mountains in Siberia and Tibet
Summary/Description: The Moovianthan-Kayphik, also known as the Shining Ones, are described across several sources as small Greys with hollow eyes, capable of interdimensional travel, who have colonized more than 40 planets outside our solar system. They are said to have met with US and Soviet/Russian leaders to trade limited technology for permission to conduct abductions independently of other races, to have played a significant role in Siberian and Tibetan culture, and to maintain hidden mountain bases in those regions. Separate accounts describe encounters with Tibetans, American Indians, an abductee, and, notably, science-fiction author Philip K. Dick.

DETAILED REPORT
Santori’s Alien Races Book places the Moovianthan-Kayphik in the Vulpecula constellation, roughly 297 light-years from Earth, and credits them with colonizing more than 40 planets beyond our solar system, without specifying any of them or explaining how this was determined. The ARB further states that they met with at least two US presidents, along with Soviet and Russian leaders, to trade limited technology in exchange for permission to abduct humans — with the specific note that, unlike some other races documented in this archive, they do not involve other races in their own abductions. The ARB also credits them with a significant, unspecified role in Siberian and Tibetan culture, and states that they maintain bases still hidden inside north-facing mountains in those regions.
A separate source, the Bibliotecapleyades website, refers to these beings as the “Shining Ones” and adds that they have been encountered by Tibetans and American Indians in isolated settings during secret religious rituals, with guarding Earth’s sacred sites cited as one of their tasks. That same source states that abductee Betty Andreasson reported seeing them, and — perhaps the most striking claim associated with this entry — that science-fiction author Philip K. Dick experienced an encounter with one of these beings that “imposed itself on him with a personality and a computer like voice.”
Two further sources, SSP veteran El (Ileana) Ka and contactee-author Elena Danaan, both place the species’ origin more specifically at the Nebula Phykxa, identified with the astronomical designation NGC 6940 — though mainstream astronomy classifies NGC 6940 as an open star cluster rather than a nebula, a discrepancy neither source addresses. Danaan is the only source to offer a physical description at all, characterizing the Moovianthan-Kayphik as “small Greys” with “hollow eyes,” part of a broader “Grey Collective” that cooperates with an “Orion Alliance.” She attributes their “Shining Ones” nickname to an ability for interdimensional travel, without explaining the connection between the two. The remainder of her account repeats the ARB’s material largely without credit.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
The Moovianthan-Kayphik — Vulpecula and a Lost “Shining Ones” Identity
- Classification Correction: This entry previously described a tall (7–7.83 ft), silicon-based, obsidian-skinned “Level VI Geological Master” species from a “Moniantha System,” complete with a full biometric panel, named abilities (“Geokinesis”), and basalt polyhedral craft. None of this appears in any source, which instead describe small Greys with hollow eyes from Vulpecula. The invented biometrics, home system, and species tier have been removed, and the documented nickname — “The Shining Ones” — has been restored after being dropped from the previous version of this page entirely.
- Source Chain Assessment: This entry actually rests on reasonably substantial secondary sourcing — the ARB, the Bibliotecapleyades website, Ka, and Danaan all contribute independent detail, and several points (the presidential meetings, the Siberian/Tibetan role, the hidden mountain bases, the 40-planet colonization claim) were already present, largely accurately, in this page’s own summary paragraph even before this correction. The physical description and home-system detail, however, had been overwritten with invented material not found in any of these sources.
- Pattern Context / Comparative Cases: As with several other recent corrections (compare: Magell, Maitre, Mintakans), the page’s own summary/description paragraph preserved real, source-attested content even while the structured fields above it had been overwritten with fabricated detail — a recurring split between what survived in the freeform narrative and what was replaced in the itemized profile.
- Physical Evidence / Evidentiary Weight: No named date, document, or verifiable record supports the claimed meetings with US and Soviet/Russian leaders, the Siberian/Tibetan cultural role, or the Philip K. Dick encounter — the latter a real and separately documented event in Dick’s own biography, but not verifiably connected to this specific species beyond the secondary source’s assertion.
Stripped of the invented silicon-giant profile, the Moovianthan-Kayphik remain a thin but multiply-sourced entry: small Greys, by the one description available, tied to a documented pattern of claimed government contact, an unspecified cultural role in Siberia and Tibet, and a striking, if unverifiable, connection to one of science fiction’s most famous real-world claimed encounters.
The Alien Races Book credits the Moovianthan-Kayphik with having “played a big role in Siberian and Tibetan culture.”
