The Tadpole — a single, thinly documented classroom-window anecdote from Kunming, not a documented species with a broader case history.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
Tadpole Aliens
In the Think About It Alien Database, this entry — titled simply “Tadpole” in the original — is one of the thinnest in the archive. Its entire substantive content, recovered from the site’s 2015-era version, is a single anecdote: a photograph taken by a school student in Kunming, China, showing a tadpole-shaped form the student and his classmates reported seeing hover outside their classroom window before it vanished. The original entry offered no date more specific than “last month” (relative to the article’s original posting, in late 2014 or very early 2015), no location for the entity’s origin, and no biological or technological detail beyond a general, hedged framing already used elsewhere on the site: “UFOs are actual ET creatures or possibly biological robots.”

DETAILED REPORT
This entry is, by a wide margin, one of the thinnest source records in this archive. The original 2015-era version — recovered directly via the Wayback Machine — consists of a nearly blank template with a single populated field: a school student’s photo of a tadpole-shaped form hovering outside a Kunming classroom window, reportedly taken “last month” relative to the article’s original posting in late 2014 or very early 2015. Every other field in the original template is blank.
None of the following appears anywhere in this original source: a 2010 date for the Kunming sighting, a November 2022 Minqin County, Gansu sighting, Jeremy Corbell’s “Jellyfish”/”Spaghetti Monster” UAP video from Iraq, a formal “EBANI” (Entidades Biológicas Anómalas No Identificadas) classification by any intelligence agency, transmedium air-to-water travel capability, atmospheric “grazing” behavior, or any connection to a 2026 disclosure timeline. These were invented wholesale and layered onto a single-sentence original. Separately, the Minqin County sighting and the Corbell Iraq footage are both independently real, documented events — but neither has any established connection to the Kunming photo or to each other beyond both being unrelated UAP cases that happened to get folded into this fabricated narrative.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
Tadpole — Almost Nothing to Correct Against, and an Entire Mythology Invented Regardless
- The original source could not be thinner: one sentence, no date more specific than “last month,” no name for the entity beyond the generic “Tadpole,” and every other field left blank.
- Two of the added “supporting” cases are real independent events, but unconnected to this one: the Minqin, Gansu tadpole-trail video (November 2022) and Jeremy Corbell’s “Jellyfish” UAP footage (Iraq, 2017–18) both really happened and are separately documented — but nothing ties either of them to the 2014/2015 Kunming photo, and presenting all three as one continuous “Tadpole Alien” phenomenon overstates any real connection between them.
- A precise date was fabricated where the original deliberately avoided one: “last month” is vague by design (a blog post referring to its own recent past); replacing it with a specific “2010” date invents false precision.
The real Tadpole entry is about as minimal as this archive gets: a single anecdote about a Kunming student’s photo of an unidentified shape outside a classroom window, posted to the site in late 2014 or early 2015. Everything else — the name expansions, the 2010 date, the Minqin and Corbell cases folded in as if part of the same phenomenon, the EBANI classification, and the entire 2026 narrative — was invented and has been removed rather than corrected, since there was almost nothing in the original to build a correction from.
“Photo taken last month in Kunming by a school student who along with his class saw one of these bizarre ‘Tadpole’ aliens hover outside their classroom window before disappearing into thin air.”
