A deliberately minimal, dossier-style rendering of the reported 1977/78 Siena, Italy capture account, the central documented incident in this entry.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
TISAR-3
An earlier, cached version of this exact page survives in search indexes, and it shows something worth stating plainly: most of this entry’s fields were originally left blank. What existed was a handful of specific claims — a roughly two-year transit time, some human-like skin, status as an extinct Reptoid remnant lacking other groups’ technology, and a detailed account of a 1977 or 1978 capture near Siena, Italy — and nothing else. Nearly everything else attached to this page since is new, and none of it traces to that original entry.
Name: Tisar-3
AKA: Undocumented. This field was left blank in this entry’s own earlier version, and “The Reptoid Survivors” and “The Siena Entities,” while reasonable descriptive labels, are not documented names.
Location – Home System: Unknown, per the original entry, which states only that reports indicate a transit time of roughly two Earth years to reach our sector
Distance from Earth: Undocumented with a specific figure; only the roughly two-year transit time noted above is given
Attitude: Undocumented. This field was left blank in the original entry.
Motives: Undocumented. This field was left blank in the original entry.
Physical Appearance: Undocumented with specific detail; the original entry states only that they have “some Human characteristics, such as skin”
- Average Height: Undocumented
- Average Weight: Undocumented
- Body Temperature: Undocumented
- Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented
- Blood Pressure: Undocumented
- Life Expectancy: Undocumented
- Hair: Undocumented
- Skin: Described in the original entry only as having “some Human characteristics”; no further detail is given
- Eyes: Undocumented
- Sex: Undocumented
Other Physical Information: Per the original entry, they possess some human characteristics, specifically noted with regard to their skin
Special Traits and Abilities: Undocumented. This field was left blank in the original entry.
Communication Type: Undocumented. This field was left blank in the original entry.
Origin: Undocumented beyond their status as survivors of an extinct Reptoid lineage; no specific home planet or system is given
Life Form Type: Extinct Reptoid race, per the original entry
Subspecies: Undocumented. This field was left blank in the original entry.
Most Common Species: Undocumented. This field was left blank in the original entry.
Level of Species: Undocumented as a numbered or graded classification. The original entry states only that they “do not possess the same level of technology as other races visiting Earth” — a general comparative statement, not a numbered tier.
Habits: Undocumented. This field was left blank in the original entry.
Transportation Type: Undocumented with specific detail; the original entry notes only that they lack technology comparable to other visiting groups
Witnesses Reports: No named individual witnesses appear in the original entry. The documented incidents are the 1977/1978 Siena, Italy capture and a January 3, 2001 sighting near Victoria, Canada; the USSR’s “APIS/3” program is credited with obtaining a single video recording.
Special Features/Characteristics: Per the original entry, survivors of an extinct Reptoid race, lacking the level of technology or knowledge possessed by other races reported visiting Earth
Summary/Description: In 1977 or 1978, near Siena, Italy, two individuals of this type were reportedly captured after their craft landed behind a church, among ruins. Three days later they were reportedly transferred to a U.S. air base still within Italy, and finally to an undisclosed location — with some accounts suggesting a South Pacific site or another U.S. base near Japan. The USSR’s “APIS/3” program reportedly obtained a single video recording of this type. The most recent reported sighting was January 3, 2001, near Victoria, Canada.
Source: Think About It Alien Database (original entry). No independent corroboration of the Siena capture account was located outside this entry’s own source material for this correction; a previously listed attribution to Riley Martin could not be confirmed against his published work and has been removed.

DETAILED REPORT
This entry offers an unusually clear case study in how a source-thin page can accumulate invented detail over time, because an earlier cached version of the exact same page remains visible in search indexes. That earlier version left most of the standard template fields blank. What it did contain was specific: a roughly two-year transit time to reach our sector, a brief note that the Tisar-3 have “some Human characteristics, such as skin,” their status as survivors of an extinct Reptoid lineage lacking the technology of other visiting groups, and a fairly detailed account of a 1977 or 1978 incident near Siena, Italy, in which two individuals were reportedly captured after landing behind a church, held locally, then transferred within three days to a U.S. air base in Italy and ultimately to an undisclosed location.
That original account also names a specific, if unverifiable, secondary source: the USSR’s “APIS/3” program, credited with obtaining a single video recording of the type, and it gives one further dated sighting, January 3, 2001, near Victoria, Canada. None of this is independently corroborated by any source located outside this entry’s own material, and it should be read as a specific claim from this archive’s own history rather than an externally verified case.
Everything beyond this — the full biometric panel, the “Technical Tier II” rating and its comparison to other groups’ technology levels, the extensive narrative about mechanical latency, genetic degradation, a “Nomadic Mandate,” and the attribution to Riley Martin — does not appear in the earlier version of this page and could not be verified against any external source for this correction.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
A Rare Case: Seeing the Page Before and After
- Source Chain Assessment: This is one of the few entries in this correction pass where an earlier version of the exact same page could be located directly, rather than reconstructing likely original content from external sources. That earlier version’s mostly-blank template, filled in only where specific claims existed, is treated here as the entry’s actual foundation.
- Fabricated Biometric and Classification Panel: Precise height, weight, body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and life expectancy figures, along with a “Technical Tier II” rating and comparisons to “Level XXVII” technology, do not appear in the earlier version of this page and have been marked Undocumented or removed.
- Fabricated Narrative Elaboration, including claims of “mechanical latency,” “spiritual depletion,” long-term genetic inbreeding, and a formal “Nomadic Mandate,” does not appear in the earlier version and has been removed as invented detail layered onto a much sparser original account.
- Unverifiable Source Attribution Removed: A citation to contactee Riley Martin does not match any race described in his published book, The Coming of Tan (which describes seven specific races, none named Tisar-3), and has been removed as an apparent misattribution.
- Evidentiary Weight: The Siena capture account and the Victoria, Canada sighting are specific and dated, but neither could be independently corroborated outside this entry’s own source material. This entry presents them as documented claims from this archive’s own history, not as externally verified events.
What makes this entry worth preserving is precisely its thinness, now that it has been restored: a specific, dated capture account with named locations and a described chain of custody, sitting alongside a near-total absence of biological or technological detail. That gap between “very specific about one incident” and “almost nothing about the beings themselves” is the honest shape of the original source, and it doesn’t need to be smoothed over with invented biology to remain a distinctive entry in this archive.
“Reports stating that it takes them near 2 Earth years to get to this planet.”
