THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY – TANZANY

Tucked into a five-sentence entry in a Cold War-era compiled dossier is one of the more unsettling claims in the archive: that a Grey-type species from a star in the Perseus constellation studies how other beings react to catastrophe, and that another, unnamed alien race once reported the Tanzany as the cause behind both the Hindenburg disaster and the sinking of the Titanic. The claim comes third-hand, through a source of openly uncertain provenance — but it has circulated in ufology ever since.

Name: Tanzany

AKA: Undocumented (no aliases given in the source material)

Location – Home System: Constellation Perseus, near the star Gorgonea Secunda (Pi Persei)

Distance from Earth: Approximately 300–310 light years, consistent with the real astronomical distance to Pi Persei

Attitude: Described in the source as avoided by other alien races; no direct behavioral account of Tanzany interacting with humans is given

Motives: Studying how other species and races react to tragedies and cataclysms, per the source entry

Physical Appearance: Undocumented beyond height; no description of build, skin texture, or facial features appears in the source

Average Height: Approximately 1.7 meters (roughly 5’7″)
Average Weight: Undocumented
Body Temperature: Undocumented
Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented
Blood Pressure: Undocumented
Life Expectancy: Up to approximately 500 years, per the source
Hair: Undocumented
Skin: Undocumented
Eyes: Undocumented
Sex: Undocumented

Other Physical Information: Undocumented

Special Traits and Abilities: Undocumented. The source entry lists no propulsion, cloaking, telepathic, or time-related abilities for this species.

Communication Type: Undocumented

Origin: Gorgonea Secunda (Pi Persei), constellation Perseus

Life Form Type: Classified in the source alongside other Grey-type entries in the compiled dossier, though the entry itself does not use the term “Grey” or give a formal taxonomic classification

Subspecies: Undocumented

Most Common Species: Undocumented

Level of Species: Undocumented. The source describes them only as “technologically extremely advanced,” with no numbered or graded classification.

Habits: Per the source, an interest in observing how other species and races respond to tragedy and catastrophe; generally avoided by other alien races

Transportation Type: Undocumented (no craft description appears in the source)

Witnesses Reports: No direct human witness account exists for this entry. The Hindenburg and Titanic connection is attributed in the source to a report from an unnamed, separate alien race, not to any documented human sighting. One dated sighting is given: January 1999, New York State — source and circumstances unspecified.

Special Features/Characteristics: Accused, via second-hand alien-sourced reporting rather than direct evidence, of having caused both the 1937 Hindenburg disaster and the 1912 sinking of the Titanic

Summary/Description: A little-documented species said to study other beings’ reactions to large-scale disaster, and accused — on the word of another, unnamed alien race relayed through a source of uncertain provenance — of having caused two of the 20th century’s best-known catastrophes.

Source: Alien Race Book (ARB) — published as “Book of Alien Races: Secret Russian KGB Book of Alien Species” (Blue Planet Project), compiled by Gil Carlson; Think About It Alien Database

Related Cases: RMS Titanic (1912); LZ 129 Hindenburg (1937) — included here only because the ARB entry names them, not because any independent evidence ties the Tanzany to either event

DETAILED REPORT

The Tanzany entry is one of the shortest and least-detailed in the ARB compilation: five sentences, no accompanying image, and no witness name attached. According to the entry, the species originates near the star Gorgonea Secunda in Perseus — a real star, roughly 300 light-years from Earth, traditionally named for one of the mythological Gorgon sisters. The entry states plainly that the Tanzany “have caused thousands (maybe millions) of deaths on Earth and other planets,” framing this as one of their areas of study: how other races react to tragedy and cataclysm.

The specific accusation tying them to the Hindenburg and the Titanic is not presented in the ARB as a confirmed fact or an eyewitness account. It is explicitly sourced to a report from a separate, unnamed alien race — meaning the chain of evidence, as the ARB itself lays it out, runs from an unidentified non-human informant, through the book’s compilers, to the page. No date, location, or method of the alleged sabotage is given, and no independent corroboration exists.

Physically, the ARB gives only two data points: a life expectancy of up to roughly 500 years and a height around 1.7 meters (roughly 5’7″). No skin color, eye description, hair, communication method, or ship description is provided anywhere in the source. The entry closes by noting the Tanzany are avoided by other alien races and gives a single dated sighting — January 1999, in New York State — without further detail.

The ARB itself warrants a note on reliability. It is presented by its publisher as a compiled, hand-annotated Russian document of disputed and largely unverifiable origin, reportedly recovered from a retired Soviet-era diplomat’s personal papers and updated by unnamed contributors over decades. The book’s own introduction acknowledges that some illustrations used for its alien entries were sourced from films and video games rather than original testimony, in cases where no photograph or original drawing existed. None of this necessarily makes any individual entry false, but it means the Tanzany’s most serious claim — responsibility for two major historical disasters — rests on a report-of-a-report from a source that does not claim first-hand verification for itself.

RESEARCHER’S NOTES
The Perseus Entry — Gorgonea Secunda and the Limits of a Five-Sentence Source

Source Chain Assessment: Every claim on this page traces back to a single, very short ARB entry. That entry, in turn, attributes its most dramatic claim — the Hindenburg and Titanic connection — to an unnamed alien race’s report, not to any human investigation or artifact. This is a report of a report, and should be read that way.
Fabricated Biometric and Technology Panel: Earlier versions of this page listed precise body temperature, pulse, and blood pressure figures, along with an elaborate technology profile — “temporal synchronization,” atmospheric-resonance cloaking, trans-dimensional phasing craft — and a “Level XII” species classification. None of this appears anywhere in the ARB entry or in any other source consulted for this correction. These fields have been marked Undocumented rather than left populated with invented detail.
Height Correction: The ARB gives the Tanzany’s height as approximately 1.7 meters (roughly 5’7″), consistent with an average adult stature. An earlier version of this page listed 4’5″ to 5’0″, which does not match the source figure and has been corrected.
Astronomical Accuracy: Gorgonea Secunda (Pi Persei) is a real star, and its documented distance from Earth — roughly 300 to 310 light-years — matches this entry’s distance field. This is one of the few details on the page independently verifiable against real astronomical data, separate from the ARB’s own claims about the Tanzany themselves.
Source Reliability: The ARB’s own framing narrative — recovered Soviet diplomatic papers, SMERSH secrecy protocols, decades of anonymous hand-annotation — is unverifiable and, by the compiler’s own account, includes imagery borrowed from film and video games for entries lacking original documentation. Readers should weigh the Tanzany’s disaster-causation claim accordingly: it is the most serious accusation in this entry and also the one with the thinnest sourcing.

What the record actually supports is modest: a five-sentence dossier entry naming a species from a real, distant star, credited with an unusual interest in catastrophe and life expectancies far beyond human norms. What the record does not support — despite how it has circulated — is any confirmed link between the Tanzany and either the Titanic or the Hindenburg. That claim remains exactly what the source says it is: something one alien race reportedly told another, relayed through a book whose own origin story cannot be verified.
