THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY

TARICE

The entire documented record of the Tarice fits in six sentences: an origin unknown, a habit of lingering near volcanoes, no history of contact or harm, a presence too frequent to call hidden, and appearance reports too contradictory to pin down. It is one of the sparsest entries in the archive — and, unusually, one where the sparseness itself is the most honest thing about it.

Name: Tarice

AKA: Undocumented (no aliases given in the source material; “Norway Lights” and “Hessdalen Observers” do not appear in the ARB entry and should not be treated as established alternate names)

Location – Home System: Unknown, per the source. No star, constellation, or system is named.

Distance from Earth: Unknown

Attitude: Non-interfering; no contact, violence, or abduction has ever been attributed to this species in the source material

Motives: Undocumented. The source notes only that they are frequently seen near or flying past volcanoes; no explanation for this pattern is given.

Physical Appearance: Undocumented. The source explicitly describes appearance reports for this species as contradictory, and does not attempt to resolve them into a single description.

Average Height: Undocumented
Average Weight: Undocumented
Body Temperature: Undocumented
Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented
Blood Pressure: Undocumented
Life Expectancy: Undocumented
Hair: Undocumented
Skin: Undocumented
Eyes: Undocumented
Sex: Undocumented

Other Physical Information: Undocumented

Special Traits and Abilities: Undocumented. No abilities — heat immunity, cloaking, or otherwise — are attributed to this species in the source; the only distinguishing note given is the unusually refined craftsmanship of their craft.

Communication Type: Undocumented (no contact with humans has been reported, so no communication method could have been observed)

Origin: Unknown, per the source

Life Form Type: Undocumented

Subspecies: Undocumented

Most Common Species: Undocumented

Level of Species: Undocumented (no technological or civilizational grading appears in the source)

Habits: Frequently seen near or flying past volcanoes; identified primarily by the distinctive, refined appearance of their craft rather than by any biological trait

Transportation Type: Described only as “exquisite” in craftsmanship; no propulsion system, hull material, or construction method is documented

Witnesses Reports: A single dated sighting is given in the source: off the coast of Norway, in 2000. No witness names, professions, or circumstances are recorded. Associations with the Hessdalen Lights phenomenon or named volcanoes such as Etna or St. Helens do not appear in the source and should be treated as later, unsupported additions.

Special Features/Characteristics: Notably discreet despite frequent presence; makes no apparent effort to hide, yet has never been linked to contact, violence, or abduction

Summary/Description: A little-documented species of unknown origin, most often associated with sightings near volcanoes and identified chiefly by the refined craftsmanship of their vessels. The source material is explicit that appearance reports are contradictory and that no history of contact, harm, or abduction exists.

Source: Alien Race Book (ARB) — “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: The 2000 Norway coastal sighting named in the ARB entry itself; no other cases are documented for this species in the source material

DETAILED REPORT

The ARB entry for the Tarice is among the shortest in the book, and unusually candid about its own limits. It states plainly that the species’ origin is unknown, that they are identified largely by the refined, unusual craftsmanship of their vessels rather than by any confirmed biological trait, and that reports of their physical appearance directly contradict one another. Rather than resolving that contradiction into a tidy description, the source leaves it open — a rare instance of a compiled dossier entry declining to fill a gap with invented specificity.

What the entry does assert with some confidence is behavioral: the Tarice have never been linked to contact, violence, or abduction, and despite a frequent presence near volcanic sites, they make no apparent effort to conceal themselves. The single dated sighting on record places them off the coast of Norway in the year 2000, though the entry gives no further detail — no witness identity, no description of the encounter, nothing beyond the date and location.

It’s worth noting that “Tarice” is not a name unique to this one source. A search of the broader ufological literature turns up at least one entirely different account describing beings called “Tarici” as tall reptilian natives of a named star system and members of an organized interstellar federation — a description that shares nothing with the ARB’s account beyond the name and a general interest in volcanoes. This entry follows the ARB’s version specifically, consistent with this archive’s sourcing for related entries, and readers should not assume the two traditions describe the same beings.

RESEARCHER’S NOTES
A Six-Sentence Entry — What Honest Uncertainty Looks Like in the Source Material

Source Chain Assessment: This entire entry traces to a single, six-sentence ARB passage. Unlike several other entries in this archive, the ARB itself does not overreach here — it explicitly flags contradictory appearance reports rather than picking one, which makes this an unusually clean case for identifying exactly where later embellishment was added.
Fabricated Biometric and Technology Panel: Earlier versions of this page listed a specific height range, body temperature, skin description, heat-immunity and cloaking abilities, a “Level XIV — Energy-Based Technocrats” rating, and a “Tarice Prime” species designation, along with an elaborate bio-metallic, laboratory-grown ship architecture. None of this appears in the ARB entry, which states only that the ships are “exquisite” and gives no further technical detail. These fields have been marked Undocumented.
Unsupported Location Additions: Earlier versions named specific volcanoes (Etna, St. Helens, Eyjafjallajökull) and tied this entry to the real, independently documented Hessdalen Lights phenomenon in Norway. Neither appears in the ARB source, which gives only one dated sighting off the Norwegian coast with no further geographic detail. Borrowing the credibility of a well-documented, separately studied phenomenon like Hessdalen to support an unrelated entry is exactly the kind of pattern-matching this correction pass exists to catch.
Name Collision Across Sources: A search beyond the ARB turns up at least one unrelated tradition using the same or a near-identical name (“Tarici”) for a completely different being — tall, reptilian, tied to a named star system and an organized alien federation. This entry follows the ARB’s account, and the two should not be merged or treated as corroborating one another.
Evidentiary Weight: With a single undated-beyond-year sighting and no named witness, this entry sits at the thinnest end of the evidentiary spectrum even by this archive’s standards. That is reflected here by how much of the template is marked Undocumented rather than filled with plausible-sounding detail.

What the record actually shows is a species defined almost entirely by absence: no known origin, no consistent physical description, no history of contact, and exactly one dated sighting. That is a legitimate, if thin, entry in its own right — and it does not need invented biometrics or a borrowed connection to a real Norwegian light phenomenon to remain interesting.
