THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY

Ogattans

Behind the “Ogattans” is a real, decades-documented contactee case: Greta Woodrew, whose 1976 contact experience became two published books and a long-running newsletter. Real, too, is the detail that her contacts spoke of a home system with five named planets — Ogatta, Arshan, Arka, Mennon, and Tchowvie — with Mennon simply one of the five, not a separate outer star system. What isn’t documented is a “Plura-link” neural-tethering mechanism, a full biometric panel, or a species classification tier — Woodrew describes her contact as channeled, her voice controlled by the beings, not a technical dual-consciousness protocol.

Name: Ogattans (the Ogatta group)

AKA: Undocumented beyond “the Ogatta group.” No source located confirms “Bird-People of Mennon,” “The Golden-Eyed Ones,” or “The Plura-Kin” as names used in the original material.

Location – Home System: Ogatta is one of five planets — Ogatta, Arshan, Arka, Mennon, and Tchowvie — within a binary (twin-star) system that Woodrew’s contacts referred to as a “jorpa,” their term for what we would call a solar system. Woodrew placed this system, astronomically, in the vicinity of the globular cluster Messier 92 (M92), which her contacts described as being in another galaxy. Mainstream astronomy places M92 within our own Milky Way galaxy, a discrepancy that neither Woodrew’s account nor this archive’s material resolves. Mennon is one of the five planets in this system — not a separate outer star system, as previously stated on this page.

Distance from Earth: Undocumented precisely; associated by Woodrew with the region of the Messier 92 cluster

Attitude: Described as benevolent and concerned with human and planetary wellbeing, per Woodrew’s account and later claimed continuations of contact with the same group

Motives: Later claimed continuations of contact with the group describe involvement in healing, addressing environmental concerns, raising human consciousness, and particular attention to the nurturing of children

Physical Appearance: No independently confirmed detailed physical description could be located for this entry. Feathers are associated with the group in terms used in Woodrew’s own writing, consistent with this archive’s longstanding description of them as bird-like, but a full physical profile is not documented in the sources reviewed.

Average Height: Undocumented
Average Weight: Undocumented
Body Temperature: Undocumented
Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented
Blood Pressure: Undocumented
Life Expectancy: Undocumented
Hair: Undocumented in specific terms
Skin: Undocumented
Eyes: Undocumented in specific terms, though this archive’s own longstanding material describes them as golden-eyed
Sex: Undocumented generally; named contacts associated with the group include Tauri and Bilakka, described as an “ambassador of music”

Other Physical Information: Undocumented beyond the feather association noted above

Special Traits and Abilities: Woodrew’s account and title of her related children’s book describe an experience of “hearing colors” and “seeing music” associated with contact — a real, documented element of her published material, though its mechanism is not explained in scientific terms in any source reviewed

Communication Type: Reported as channeled: Woodrew describes the beings communicating by speaking through her own voice, rather than by telepathy directed at a separate listener

Origin: Ogatta, one of five planets (Ogatta, Arshan, Arka, Mennon, Tchowvie) within a binary “jorpa” (solar system), placed by Woodrew in the region of Messier 92

Life Form Type: Undocumented formally in the sources reviewed

Subspecies: None confirmed

Most Common Species: Not applicable

Level of Species: Undocumented

Habits: Undocumented in specific terms beyond the reported healing, environmental, and consciousness-raising activity noted above

Transportation Type: Undocumented — no source reviewed confirms “Gattae” as the name of their craft

Witnesses Reports: Greta Woodrew (1929–2010), a real, publicly documented author and purported contactee, first reported contact in 1976 under laboratory conditions with Dr. Andrija Puharich. She published two books on the subject, On a Slide of Light (1981) and Memories of Tomorrow (1988), and produced a newsletter, The Woodrew Update, from 1980 to 1997, through her Space Technology and Research (STAR) Foundation. Later, other individuals, including Dr. Ian Gordon (2013), have separately claimed continued contact with the same group.

Special Features/Characteristics: Reports describe a “Destiny Screen,” said to have shown children visiting the planet visions of future Earth events

Summary/Description: The Ogattans, or the Ogatta group, are documented through the real, published contactee account of Greta Woodrew, who reported channeled contact beginning in 1976 with beings from a five-planet system including Ogatta, Arshan, Arka, Mennon, and Tchowvie. She and later claimed contacts describe the group as benevolent, associated with the experience of “hearing colors” and “seeing music,” and involved in low-key guidance of select individuals, including children reportedly shown a “Destiny Screen” depicting future Earth events. No independently confirmed physical description, biometric detail, or species classification exists in the sources reviewed.

DETAILED REPORT

The Ogattans trace to a real, publicly documented contactee case. Greta Woodrew (1929–2010), an author, psychic, and healer, reported first coming into contact with what she described as “extraterrestrial intelligences” in 1976, initially under laboratory conditions arranged with Dr. Andrija Puharich, a well-known parapsychology and medical researcher. Woodrew stated that the beings communicated by speaking through her own voice — a channeled, rather than telepathic, mode of contact — and that this experience continued well beyond the original laboratory setting, becoming a regular part of her life. She published two books describing the contact, On a Slide of Light (1981) and Memories of Tomorrow (1988), and produced a long-running newsletter, The Woodrew Update, from 1980 to 1997, through her Space Technology and Research (STAR) Foundation.

Woodrew placed the beings’ origin at Ogatta, one of five planets — Ogatta, Arshan, Arka, Mennon, and Tchowvie — within a binary star system her contacts referred to as a “jorpa,” their term for a solar system. She associated this system, astronomically, with the region of the globular cluster Messier 92, which her contacts described as located in another galaxy — a claim at odds with mainstream astronomy, which places Messier 92 within our own Milky Way. This discrepancy is not resolved in any source reviewed and is noted here rather than smoothed over.

A recurring and genuinely documented element of Woodrew’s account is a described experience of “hearing colors” and “seeing music,” which she later used as the title of a children’s book. Named individuals associated with the group in her account include Tauri and Bilakka, the latter described as an “ambassador of music.” Later, separate from Woodrew, other individuals — including Dr. Ian Gordon, publishing in 2013 — have claimed their own continued contact with the same group, describing involvement in healing, environmental concerns, raising human consciousness, and particular attention to children.

No source reviewed for this entry supports a detailed physical biometric panel, a “Plura-link” neural-tethering mechanism, named subspecies, a species classification tier, or a named “Gattae” spacecraft type. These details do not appear in Woodrew’s published work or in the secondary encyclopedia entry reviewed for this correction.

RESEARCHER’S NOTES

The Ogattans — A Real Contactee Case Behind an Invented Technical Apparatus

Classification Correction: This entry previously described a full biometric panel, a named “Plura-link” neural-tethering mechanism, named subspecies, a species tier (“Level IX”), a “conscious metal” starship called the “Gattae,” and elaborate 2026-specific operational claims. None of this is confirmed in Woodrew’s published books or in the encyclopedia entry this page cites as a source. The Mennon/system-name confusion has also been corrected: Mennon is one of five named planets in the Ogatta system, not a separate outer star system.
Source Chain Assessment: Unlike many entries in this archive, this one traces to a real, named, publicly documented individual (Woodrew) with two published books and a long-running newsletter, making it comparatively well-attested as a claim — though it remains an individual’s unverified contactee testimony, not confirmed fact.
Pattern Context / Comparative Cases: This is a case where a real, specific contactee account was overlaid with invented technical mechanisms (a named neural-tethering protocol, biometric data, a species tier) that do not appear anywhere in the original material — the same pattern seen in this archive’s Nep-4 and Norca entries, where genuine contactee cases were similarly padded with fabricated technical elaboration.
Physical Evidence / Evidentiary Weight: No independent verification exists for any of Woodrew’s claims beyond her own published testimony and the secondary accounts of later individuals who claim continued contact. The astronomical inconsistency regarding Messier 92’s galactic location is a specific, checkable discrepancy worth noting for readers evaluating this claim.

What survives here is a real, named contactee’s decades-long, publicly documented claim — Greta Woodrew’s account of channeled contact with a group from a five-planet system called Ogatta — stripped of the invented technical apparatus (a neural-tethering protocol, a biometric panel, a species tier) that had been built up around it.
