The Santinians, or "Little Saints" — golden-skinned humanoids from Metharia, documented in the now-defunct Spirit Web archive.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
Santinians
In the Think About It Alien Database, the Santinians — the “Little Saints” — are documented across multiple independent compiled ufology sources as humanoid inhabitants of Metharia, a planet orbiting Alpha Centauri A, part of the Centauri system roughly four and a half light years from Earth. The core description of their society, physical appearance, and technology is well-corroborated across independent references; this entry restores the documented physical detail that an earlier draft replaced with vaguer language, and removes an invented 2026 storyline that has no basis in any source.
Name: Santinians
AKA: The Little Saints (from the Italian Santini); Centaurians; Metharians.
Location – Home System: The Centauri system — three stars, Centauri A, B, and C, with A and B forming a double sun. The Santinians’ home planet, Metharia, orbits Centauri A. Centauri C (Proxima Centauri) is technically the closer of the three stars to Earth, though “Alpha Centauri” commonly refers to Centauri A, the brightest of the three.
Distance from Earth: Approximately four and a half light years.
Attitude: Deeply spiritual, harmonious, and altruistic, per the source.
Motives: Assisting Earth’s spiritual evolution while strictly respecting free will, per the source; they are described as unwilling to force belief.
Physical Appearance: Human-looking, with golden skin, hair color varying widely, and body types ranging from very tall (roughly 8 to 12 feet) to shorter (roughly 6 to 7 feet). Eye color is described as variable — blue, purple, green, brown, or golden.
- Average Height: Documented as ranging from about 6–7 feet up to 8–12 feet, depending on the individual — notably taller than an average human across most of that range.
- Average Weight: Undocumented.
- Body Temperature: Undocumented.
- Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented as a specific figure; described generally as rhythmic and calm.
- Blood Pressure: Undocumented.
- Life Expectancy: Undocumented as a specific figure.
- Hair: Various shades, per the source — not limited to blonde or light coloring as an earlier draft stated.
- Skin: Golden, per the source.
- Eyes: Variable in color — blue, purple, green, brown, or golden, per the source.
- Sex: Binary (male/female); marriages and family units are highly valued in the source’s account of Santinian society.
Other Physical Information: Often described as wearing robes; bride and groom wear golden robes with a blue star at wedding ceremonies, with the groom additionally wearing a snow-white belt.
Special Traits and Abilities: Mastery of materialization and dematerialization, used in the construction of very large spacecraft and in interstellar travel.
Communication Type: Telepathic and verbal, per the source, with an emphasis on advanced spiritual teaching.
Origin: Described in the source as of Vegan descent — colonizers of Metharia rather than a species that originated there.
Life Form Type: Humanoid.
Subspecies: Not applicable per the source.
Most Common Species: Referred to generally as Santinians or Centaurians in the source material.
Level of Species: Described in the source as one of the most spiritually and technologically advanced humanities in Earth’s stellar neighborhood, with a described connection to Sirian, Pleiadian, and Venusian lineages, and membership in the Ashtar Command and/or the Federation of Planets. No numbered ranking system appears in the source.
Habits: Ceremonial social events, including public marriage and divorce ceremonies held in an open-air circular arena; living in harmony with what the source calls “nature kingdoms,” avoiding technology such as power stations or oil platforms that would disturb them.
Transportation Type: Circular spacecraft with warp-drive engines capable of exceeding the speed of light; the source separately describes the construction of very large ships, extending up to several kilometers, made possible through materialization and dematerialization.
Witnesses Reports: No named individual witnesses; the source traces to an article on the now-defunct Spirit Web site, a channeling- and contactee-oriented reference from the early internet era.
Special Features/Characteristics: Society organized around what the source calls a “Rule of Two” — two grandparents, two parents, two children per family unit — described as mirroring the balance of the Centauri A/B double-star system.
Summary/Description: The Santinians, or “Little Saints,” are humanoid inhabitants of Metharia, a planet orbiting Centauri A in the Alpha Centauri system, roughly four and a half light years from Earth. The source describes a society without poverty, class division, or religious conflict, structured around family units following a “Rule of Two” that mirrors the planet’s double-sun system. Physically, they are described as human-looking with golden skin, varied hair and eye color, and a wide height range — many considerably taller than humans. They are described as of Vegan descent, members of the Ashtar Command and/or Federation of Planets, and connected to Sirian, Pleiadian, and Venusian lineages, with technology built around materialization and dematerialization rather than conventional industry.
Related Cases: Other alleged Centauri-system entities documented separately and distinctly in the wider source material — including entities associated with Proxima Centauri and with a planet called Apu — are not part of the Santinian entry and should not be merged with it.
Source: An article on the now-defunct Spirit Web site, corroborated in near-identical wording across multiple independent compiled ufology references (including Exopaedia’s “Santinians,” “Metharia,” and “Centauri” entries).
DETAILED REPORT
The Santinian description is unusually well-corroborated for an entry in this genre: near-identical wording — the “Little Saints” etymology, the Metharia/Centauri A home system, the family “Rule of Two,” the golden wedding robes with a blue star, and the physical description of golden skin and highly variable height — appears across several independent compiled ufology references, all tracing back to the same original Spirit Web article. This consistency is a source-tracing observation, not independent corroboration of the underlying claims, but it does mean the description on this page reflects the actual documented source rather than invention.
One correction was needed to the physical description specifically: an earlier draft described the Santinians as “similar to humans” in height and gave only a vague “radiant, saintly presence” in place of documented detail. The source is considerably more specific, and in places describes a height range well above human average — some individuals reportedly reaching 8 to 12 feet — alongside golden skin and variable eye and hair color. That detail has been restored here.
The source’s own account already includes some claims that go well beyond a documented historical or contactee record — materialization/dematerialization technology, kilometer-long ships, and travel beyond the speed of light are all part of the original Spirit Web material, not later invention, and are presented here as documented source claims rather than established fact. What was invented, and has been removed, is a further 2026 layer: Lagrangian-point positioning, active grid-stabilization of Earth’s magnetic field, and a numbered “Level XV” classification. None of this appears in the Spirit Web source or any of the independent references that corroborate the rest of the entry.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
Santinians — A Well-Corroborated Source, With Specific Detail Wrongly Softened
- This entry traces to one consistent original source: near-identical wording across multiple independent compiled ufology references confirms a single Spirit Web article as the shared origin, which makes this an unusually traceable entry within this genre.
- An earlier draft actually understated the documented physical description: vague language about a “radiant, saintly presence” replaced specific documented detail — golden skin, variable hair and eye color, and a height range reaching 8 to 12 feet for some individuals. The specific version has been restored.
- The “Level XV” classification was invented: the source describes the Santinians’ standing in general terms (one of the most advanced humanities in the neighborhood, connected to Sirian/Pleiadian/Venusian lineages, part of the Ashtar Command/Federation of Planets) without any numbered ranking system.
- Not every unusual claim in this entry is a later fabrication: materialization/dematerialization technology and faster-than-light travel are part of the original documented source, not something added in 2026-styled drafts — readers should not assume every extraordinary claim here is recent invention.
- The 2026 material is the invented layer: Lagrangian-point positioning, active magnetic-grid stabilization, and a reinterpretation of the blue-star symbol as evidence of Sirian/Pleiadian lineage do not appear in the source and have been removed.
The honest state of this entry is that the Santinians are a genuinely well-documented (if unverifiable) piece of contactee-era lore, consistent across multiple independent compilations tracing to a single original source. The correction needed here was less about removing fabrication and more about restoring specific documented detail that an earlier draft had flattened into vague language, while still removing the invented present-day layer.
