THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY

SMAD

In the Think About It Alien Database, the Smad are documented in the Soviet-era compiled text known as the Alien Race Book (ARB), or “Secret Book of Alien Races” — a single short entry, explicitly noting “no image available.” The core facts in this entry are genuinely sourced, but an earlier draft inverted one key detail: the source describes the Smad as having colonized 20 planets, 18 of which were already inhabited by other races — a history of expansion, not a race that was itself colonized and reduced to refugee status.

Name: Smad

AKA: Undocumented. No source supports “The Svokians,” “The Fading Humanoids,” or “The Religious Architects.”

Location – Home System: Planet Svok (also transcribed “Svokk” in some copies of the source), constellation Batteray.

Distance from Earth: Undocumented in the source.

Attitude: Undocumented beyond the source’s note that they are “extremely interested and intrigued” by human religious beliefs.

Motives: Undocumented beyond their documented interest in human religious belief; the source gives no stated reason or goal behind this interest.

Physical Appearance: The source states only that their “appearance resembles that of Humans.” The entry is explicitly marked “(no image available)” in the original text — no further physical detail is documented.

Average Height: Undocumented.
Average Weight: Undocumented.
Body Temperature: Undocumented.
Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented.
Blood Pressure: Undocumented.
Life Expectancy: Undocumented.
Hair: Undocumented.
Skin: Undocumented; no color or tone is specified in the source.
Eyes: Undocumented.
Sex: Undocumented.

Other Physical Information: Undocumented beyond the general “resembles that of Humans” description.

Special Traits and Abilities: Undocumented in the source.

Communication Type: Undocumented.

Origin: Planet Svok, constellation Batteray, per the source. The source describes the Smad as having colonized 20 planets themselves, 18 of which were already inhabited by other races — a history of Smad expansion, not Smad displacement.

Life Form Type: Humanoid, per the source’s general physical description.

Subspecies: Undocumented.

Most Common Species: Undocumented.

Level of Species: Undocumented; no numbered ranking appears in the source.

Habits: Undocumented beyond their documented interest in human religious beliefs; no specific habits, such as attending ceremonies or visiting holy sites, are described in the source itself.

Transportation Type: Conical-shaped spacecraft, per the source; only six such craft are documented as remaining.

Witnesses Reports: No named individual witnesses; documented only in the compiled Soviet-era Alien Race Book text.

Special Features/Characteristics: Only six spacecraft remain in documented use, per the source, which describes the Smad as “a race that is considered to be weakening.” No cause for this decline is given.

Summary/Description: The Smad are documented in the Soviet-era Alien Race Book as a human-resembling species from planet Svok in the constellation Batteray, using conical spacecraft, of which only six remain in documented use. The source states they colonized 20 planets, 18 of which were already inhabited by other races, first visited Earth roughly 2,500 years ago, and are “extremely interested and intrigued” by human religious beliefs. The source separately describes them as “a race that is considered to be weakening,” without specifying a cause — a detail that should not be conflated with the colonization history, which describes the Smad as colonizers of other worlds rather than a people displaced from their own.

Source: The Alien Race Book (ARB), also circulated as “The Translated Russian ‘Secret Book of Alien Races,'” a Soviet-era compiled text; corroborated across multiple independent transcriptions and archival copies.

Related Cases: None documented beyond the general framework of the Alien Race Book, which catalogs numerous other entities using the same brief format.

DETAILED REPORT

The Smad entry traces to a specific, checkable source: the Soviet-era Alien Race Book (ARB), also known as “The Secret Book of Alien Races,” corroborated across multiple independent archival transcriptions, including a full-text scan hosted on the Internet Archive. The entry itself is brief and explicitly marked “(no image available)” in the original: the Smad come from planet Svok in the constellation Batteray, use conical-shaped spacecraft (only six of which remain in documented use), resemble humans in appearance, colonized 20 planets (18 of which were already inhabited by other races), first visited Earth approximately 2,500 years ago, and are described as “extremely interested and intrigued” by human religious beliefs, alongside a separate note that they are “a race that is considered to be weakening.”

An earlier draft of this page inverted a key detail from this source. The ARB describes the Smad as having colonized 20 planets themselves — 18 of which were already inhabited by other races before Smad colonization — which reads as a history of Smad expansion and displacement of others, not a history of the Smad being colonized or victimized. The earlier draft reversed this into a narrative of the Smad as “cosmic refugees” whose own home world had been “colonized and depleted” by Draconian or Orion forces. No source supports that reversed framing; the “weakening” note in the ARB is a separate, unexplained detail that the source does not connect to any colonization event at all.

The extensive religious-history material in the earlier draft — the connection to the Axial Age, the theory that the Smad helped construct human religions by appearing as prophets and providing “miraculous” demonstrations, the idea that they seek a “spiritual key” to save their species — does not appear in the ARB entry, which states only that the Smad are “interested and intrigued” by human religion, with no further elaboration. The entire 2026 material — Exotheology, harvesting collective emotional/spiritual resonance, sightings at the Vatican, the Western Wall, and Lhasa — has no basis in the source and does not appear anywhere else independently.

RESEARCHER’S NOTES

Smad — A Real Short Entry, With a Colonization Narrative Read Backwards

The core facts are genuinely sourced and checkable: planet Svok, constellation Batteray, conical craft, six remaining ships, 2,500-year first visit, and interest in religion all trace directly to the Alien Race Book, corroborated across multiple independent transcriptions.
The colonization history was inverted: the source describes the Smad as colonizers of 18 already-inhabited planets among 20 total — a history of Smad expansion — not a race that was itself colonized and reduced to refugee status, as an earlier draft claimed.
The source explicitly has no image and no physical detail beyond “resembles Humans”: the detailed biometric panel, skin tone, and “deeply sad” eye description in an earlier draft do not appear anywhere in the ARB entry.
The religious-founder narrative is invented: the source records only a documented interest in human religion, not a claim of having shaped or founded it.
The “weakening” note is real but unexplained: the source does describe the Smad as a declining race, but gives no cause — connecting it to a specific colonization event or hostile power is an addition with no support.

The honest state of this entry is that the Smad have a real, if extremely brief, documented record in the Alien Race Book — and that record describes them as historical colonizers of other worlds, not victims of one. That reversal is the most important correction on this page; everything else follows from restoring the source’s actual, minimal wording.
