On the Link between the Russian Book of Alien Races and Elena Danaan’s A Gift from the Stars

Once in a while people in the GA Study Group (1) show up and say that Elena Danaan has plagiarized the secret KGB Book of Alien Races (2), and they present literal copies of sentences. This article explains the connection between this book and Elena Danaan’s ‘A Gift from the Stars’ (3). It is absolutely no secret that the information from this once secret Book of Alien Races is a (very tiny) part of her book, updated and expanded with huge amounts of new information from her contacts Thor Han (4) and Coron.

The KGB Book of Alien Races (2)

THE SECRET KGB BOOK OF ALIEN RACES
Let’s first take a look at the story surrounding this secret Soviet book of alien races. What do we know about it? I used a video in which the translator of the book (who is Italian or Spanish, I suppose) talks about how he and an Ukrainian friend of his, Petro, ended up finding the book in a room of Petro’s father who was living in Portugal. This happened in 2008. It was found among 58 boxes of which some dated back to the USSR days.

Petro’s father was asked about the book and he said a few interesting things about it. First he said that he had received the book from a diplomatic friend of his, and that he had been updating the book until recently with information he received from friends through mail, phone or online. He said that in the USSR-days only a handful of people were aware of the book. He also added that the information was meant for the people in the Soviet Union so they would be prepared when they would encounter extraterrestrials.

The pages often include photographs or drawings, some of them are from witnesses. The authors didn’t hesitate to copy images from movies or from video games. The aim of the book was to give a description of what they knew and it was better to have an image of those species from a movie or a videogame that looked a bit like the alien, than none at all. He said that there had been at least 12 editions of the book, starting in 1946 or 1951 (7).

ELENA WRITES ABOUT THE ALIEN RACES BOOK IN ‘A GIFT FROM THE STARS’
At page 75 from ‘A Gift from the Stars‘ (3) Elena describes how she received an anonymous envelope that didn’t come by regular post. She writes: “Inside was a spiral-bounded document which froze me with shock, for on the cover were photos of UFO’s and aliens.

This was a record of alien races by the Russian Secret Service. It was only to be used by their agents, and had recommendations on how to behave in case of alien encounters. It also mentioned that they were not to talk about it, including intimidating threats…..”

Cover of 2017-book by Gil Carlson (7,9) – probably the book Elena received anonymously

She goes on to describe that she – inspired by Elisa – decided to write a book about her experiences and while writing it, Thor Han talked about his work in the GFW and about the different races involved.

“One day, I asked him if the information compiled in that document I had received was correct, and we found that the text was correct but the associated pictures weren’t always.” (idem)

Then she writes about how Coron got involved, a 9D being, who said that their work (Elena and Thor Han’s) were to be made authorized disclosure.

The work is based on the material from the anonymous document I received (which is really a tiny part of it!), and the result of the intensive work of chaneling Thor Han (and partially Coron). I did not edit their words, leaving them as they spoke, and I can honestly say that Thor Han is by far the main author of what follows.” (p.76)

So, there you have it. The book of Alien Races, very likely in the 2017-variant by Gil Carlson (9), was the impetus to start her book on alien disclosure, and when seen in the light of all the information added it to it by her galactic contacts, it was indeed just a tiny part of the splendid work in A Gift from the Stars. This explains why certain sentences were literal copies of the book by Carlson/Santori. This is no secret; she clearly explains the background of it in her book (3, pp.75-77).

THE VAL THOR FACTOR
The above would have been enough for an article, but there is even more to say about this link between Elena Danaan’s work and the Alien Races Book. In her second disclosure book (10) she is on a visit to an underground world in Venus, where she talked to Val Thor (11). He is the man who Frank Stranges writes about in his book ‘A Stranger in the Pentagon’ (12,13). Val Thor talks about his visit to our planet and how he interacted with certain governments (14).

Val Thor impression by Elena Danaan (16)

What is relevant in this context is that he also talked about the KGB Book of Alien Races:

“This was the time when I left and moved to Russia, to seeks hearts more open to listening and understanding. I worked for a while for the Russian secret services, and I gave them a lot of information concerning different galactic races. Your people needed to know who their allies and their enemies were. The KGB created a secret file with the information I provided and I know you have gotten a copy.

This document was partially leaked and published, although your people are still not prepared for the terrifying idea that aggressive species are already in the place. – So you are implying that you are the person at the origin of the information that was leaked in the KGB Book of Alien Races? – I am for the most of it. The American government was given the same data, as also other governments I visited, such as France and Japan.” (10, p.66).

VAL THOR WOULD STILL BE INVOLVED IN THE DISCLOSURE PROCESS IN 2024
During Star Nation News, episode 56 from December 2024 (22), we could hear Thor Han disclose that Val Thor would still be involved with high-level governmental disclosure operations. He would even reveal himself when the time is right.

Val Thor still involved in disclosure (22)

SOME CONCLUDING REMARKS
Like I said in the beginning it is easy to draw conclusions based on limited information. Those critical of Elena Danaan’s material only need to see the same sentences in both the Alien Races Book and Elena’s A Gift from the Stars to accuse her of plagiarism. When you look a bit deeper you can see the context and realize that the story is quite different. The Alien Races Book provided the initial stimulus that grew into a huge project with the assistant of two of her Galactic contacts.

The role of Val Thor would have been to expand upon the work that the secret services of the Soviet Union had already compiled on alien races. It must have led to quite an expanded new edition. It would be great if we could one day see the pre-Val Thor and the post-Val Thor edition of the book. Since it has been a secret book for long, I doubt that we will ever see that. Another thing that would confirm this Val-Thor component would be to see the American, French or Japanese versions of the information that Val Thor would have shared with those countries.

In the future I will use more information from this Alien Races Book and integrate it on this website. If you have any questions or comments, join one of the groups or subscribe (1).

ELENA SPEAKS ABOUT THE ROLE OF THE RUSSIAN ALIEN RACES BOOK
In a video in the ‘space gossip’ series with Dani Henderson, Elena Danaan explains the link with the book clearly (17). See the relevant excerpt below:

Elena Danaan speaks about the role the KGB Book of Alien Races has played in her work (17)

CLIFFORD STONE AND A MANUAL OF 57 ALIEN SPECIES
Last week I have invested some time in exploring the testimonies of Clifford Stone. He was involved in retrieving unknown crafts as a military and he encountered various extraterrestrial species in his life (18). During an interview between Dr. Michael Salla and Paola Harris (19) we were shown a piece of Stone’s testimony during the 2001 Disclosure event hosted by Dr. Greer. Below you can watch it yourself and hear him describe having had some kind of ‘manual’ that included 57 extraterrestrial species. Could there be any connection with the Russian Book of Alien Races? Could it have been given to the US Military by Val Thor?

Clifford Stone on the Manual of 57 ET Races (19)

Another contactee, Dr. Michael Wolf described a MJ-12 related group called the ‘Alphacom Team‘ that would have specialized in gathering information on the various ET-species (23).

INFORMATION TO THE RUSSIANS FROM THE MUL
In Elena’s 2024 Encyclopedia Galactica (20) we are introduced to a species from the Aquila constellation, called the ‘Mul’, which is a benevolent reptiloid gray species. They are said to have made contact with the Russian government on Earth in the 1950s to probably warn them for the Nebu (21). What is interesting in this current context is the following:

The Mul also gave a list and detailed description of the major alien cultures involved with Earth at that point in history.” (20, p.115)

So, here we have another group of extraterrestrials that would have provided information about all sorts of alien species to the Russians. Where would that information have ended up? Would it have been integrated into the Secret Russian Book of Alien Races? Would Val Thor have expanded on that information from the Mul?

(6) Dante Santori, a former special forces sergeant from Europe, translated a secret book about aliens from Russian to English, capturing the minds of many believers in extraterrestrial life in the process. The book is titled, “Introduction to the Alien Races Book.

page 150 from Santori’s translation on the Kurs (2,15)

Dante did all of the translations with his friend Petro, who later sadly lost his life in a car crash. SECRET ALIEN RACES BOOK TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH The book is believed to have been written around 1946-47, with constant additions and revisions over the years. The claim is that it was given to government agents for them to add their information to it. Dante says he and his friend Petro found the book when they started to clear out empty boxes from Petro’s father’s house.

At first, they found lots of old documents, all in The Russian language. They started to translate it and found it interesting, with some of the information being sensitive, or at least it was sensitive at the time it was written. While going thru the old boxes they discovered the book called, “Introduction to the Alien Races Book.” The book looked like a fairly modern copy, but they also found a cover for a version from 1951. Unfortunately, it was only the cover and no other contents. Petro and Dante decided to ask Petro’s father about it; he told them that high-ranking Russian political officials always had rumors of alien contact being spoken about.

However, nothing solid had been found to suggest real proof of aliens existing. Petro’s father said he received the book from a diplomatic friend of his and had been updating it whenever new information was sent or told to him. The book, now fully translated by Dante and Petro can be read by English speakers too. The book contains fascinating information and supporting photos and drawings. Be it fact or fiction it is certainly gripping and worth a read.

(7) Gil Carlson also wrote a book (9) which was published in 2017. It seems to be based on the translation by Dante Santori. Carlson says that the first edition was in 1946/47. Santori mentions finding just a cover of a version of 1951. He also names editions in 1959, 1968, 1971,1980…all the way to at least the moment Santori translated the book and put it out for free somewhere in 2009. He mentioned the Negumak/Gnomopo (8) and that the book already contained that species at least 8 years before the movie Independence Day was made.

(9) Book of Alien Races: Secret Russian KGB Book of Alien Species Spiral-bound – 1 January 2017 – It seems that Elena Danaan received this version, since she speaks about a ‘spiral-bounded document’. When you click on this Amazon-link they also talk about ‘spiral-bound’. Elena also talks about aliens and UFO’s on the cover, which is not the case with Santori’s earlier version. It seems safe to assume Elena started off with the book by Gil Carlson.

The Council of Alnilam (formerly known as the Council of Five)

Logo of the Council of Five (taken from (8))

After launching the ‘Galactic Anthropology Study Group‘ (1), I would like to spend some time on the Council of Alnilam. We have spoken about this council quite a few times before on this website. On this page you will get some background on this council, its members and what they have been doing lately.

The main reason for addressing the Council of Alnilam or the Council of Five as it was known for long, now lies in the new role that the Council of Five (or Alnilam) (2) is taking up after the demise of the Nebu Empire (3). Alnilam is the central star in the ‘Belt’ of the Orion Constellation and (one of the homes) of the Egaroth, who are one of the five races that founded the Council of Five.

WHEN WAS THE COUNCIL OF FIVE ESTABLISHED?
The Council of Five started off as the Council of Nine during the Orion Wars (4,5). Annax told us: “The former Council of Nine (26) from Uru an Na, that you call Orion, was formed a few hundred thousand of your linear years ago, in the purpose to protect the local cultures of the Orion zone against the growing power of the Nebu Empire.” (6, p.256). Both the Galactic Federation of Worlds and the Andromedan Council (7) were created after these terrible Orion Wars (4).

THE ALIEN RACES BOOK AND A GIFT FROM THE STARS
It is interesting to note that the Council of Five is also mentioned in the KGB Alien Races Book (8). This book was mainly brought to the Soviet Union by Val Thor (9). Elena Danaan has of course expanded tremendously on this book, with drawings that are far more attractive than the ones you can find in that book, or in a video of the book (12). Together with all the new information it can hardly be compared to each other, although you can see many descriptions of the KGB Book also appear in the description of many species in Elena’s book. Personally I think that KGB-Book has got a slightly gloomy appearance, and Elena’s masterpiece reads more like a fascinating account into the multitude of races that have had interaction with us.

The Redan (13, p.240)

WHO ARE THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF ALNILAM?
The Five remaining members of the Council of Five are the Redan, the Egaroth, the Emerther, the Orela and the Ginvo. I will describe them one by one.

THE REDAN
Assamay system, Orion zone. Part of the Council of Five, they are an ancient species of tan skinned humanoids, whose origins are lost in the records. All we know is what they tell about themselves, that they came from somewhere else in the Bootes constellation. They work at protecting Terra, alongside with the Galactic Federation of Worlds, which they are part of as council members. Interdimensional ships, discoidal and translucent white.” (13, p.240)

THE EGAROTH
Annax of course is the most well-known Egaroth. He is a friend of Elena and has joined Elena Danaan on several trips across the universe.

Annax, an Egaroth (15)

The central supergiant star in the Orion Belt: Alnilam (ε Orionis), 2000(T) light years away, is also named locally Zagara, around 2000 light-years from Terra. The Egaroth are a colony from the Meissa star system. Egaroth are a very ancient race and culture, which has nearly disappeared. They are part of the famous Council of Five. Archetypal Orion elders, the Egaroth are tall, pale skinned, with a large skull and appearance of serene wisdom.” (13, p. 238)

We have fairly recently talked about an extraordinary trait of the Egaroth, namely their ability to choose their gender at a later age (14). This wonderful image of Annax can be found on Elena’s website (15).

THE EMERTHER
We have come across the Emether before on this website. It was in connection with those binary messages and some crop circles, in which they seemed to have warned us to be aware of bringers of false gifts (16). You can find a drawing of them at that page.

They come from Tau Ceti, double star system (yellow dwarf and mini red dwarf) in the constellation of Cetus, 11 Light-Years from Terra, with 5 planets, two only are inhabited, One by the Aramani and one, Tau Ceti e, a large planet with three moons, by the Emerther. Their world is a wonderful place of peace, civilization, spirituality and knowledge.

Part of the Council of Five, this very old race is distantly related to the Solipsi Rai. They are a single gender and reproduce by cloning. This is the product of an engineered evolution. They are not very tall, about a meter, have a pale grey skin and a large head, round shoulders and long thin arms, three fingers and higher knees.” (13, p.130)

In Star Nation News, episode 73 (32), we were given some moving visuals of both the Egaroth and the Emerther. Here’s the relevant excerpt. Be sure to watch the rest of the episode at (32).

The Egaroth and the Emerther in motion (32)
The Orela (Illustration by Elena Danaan, 13, p. 216)

THE GINVO
In ‘We Will Never Let You Down’ we get to meet a Ginvo officer connected to the Ganymede base. I already dedicated a page to them in december 2021. You can find all about them there (17)

THE ORELA
“They originate from Ophiuchus constellation, and are part of the Council of Five. Tall Grey beings, very slim, Orelai have a high thin long neck, a triangular face with a slit for the mouth, barely visible nostrils, and slanted eyes with pupil. They are very old, very wise, an ambassadors for peace in the high council of the Galactic Federation of Worlds.

They have two genders, but do not copulate for reproduction anymore, as this function became inefficient with their evolution. They now “fabricate” new organic individual bodies and imbue in it a soul from their matrix. They have round, flat ships, but rarely ever travel out of their world, as they perform instead interdimensional resonance.” (29)

WHAT ARE THE ROLES OF THE COUNCIL OF FIVE?
As we can read in ‘A Gift from the Stars’, they have been involved in protecting Terra, way before the creation of the Galactic Federation of Worlds, which they joined later on as council representatives….The council of Five, at the moment run by the Egaroth (18), met Terran leaders at many occasions, trying to influence their decision with wisdom, which has always been quite a difficult task. The Council of Five do not have a rule of non-intervention, such as the Prime Directive (19) of the GFW, as they consider that sometimes, intervention is necessary in helping a species avoiding fatal mistakes leading to destructive pathways.

Besides these more diplomatic roles the Council of Five also plays a role in ‘preparing’ DNA for certain incoming souls (22)

Another role that they play is that they are part of what you might call a Galactic Alliance, which is an Alliance of benevolent organizations in Nataru, our Milky Way. Other members of this Galactic Alliance are the Galactic Federation of Worlds and the Andromedan Council. It seems that they are present when important events occur in our galaxy. Representatives of the Council, for instance, were present during the ‘Trial of Enlil’ (23).

SOME FINAL THOUGHTS
A lot more can be said about the Council of Five, but I think the above will suffice for a general understanding or introduction. This Council of Five (or Council of Alnilam (24)) would have been given the job to oversee the aftermath of the collapse of the Nebu in the Orion system. I remember that story about the Anunnaki who would have some role in protecting Orion from a mysterious group called the Akker (25). If the Council of Five would take full control of the Orion system, what about the Anunnaki and these Akker?

If you have any questions or thoughts drop them below in the comments or take them to the Research Center (1).

UPDATE APRIL 2023
In her 22nd Contact Video Elena provided wonderful images of the members of the Council of Five (28). And she also brought some good news. The original founders of the, then Council of Nine, the Elmanuk (27), were re-admitted to the Council, creating the Council of Six. Here’s the relevant excerpt about the Council of Five members:

Elena Danaan describes the members of the Council of Five (28)

There’s more on the Council of Alnilam and the so called ‘Daama-schools of combat and consciousness‘ in a November 2023 video (33).

THE RE-ENTRY OF THE MARVO
In november 2023 (30) we were told about the re-entry into the Council of Alnilam by a species that is called the Marvo. I made a separate page for these remarkable species (31).

PROTECTION AND ASSISTANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF ALNILAM BY OTHER CIVILIZATIONS
Besides the ‘core’ members there are also other species that are involved with the Council of Alnilam, in different ways. One of those species are called the ‘Volon’. This peaceful Reptilians race from the Cancer Constellation and we are told that they serve as a kind of protection force for the Council of Alnilam: “The Volons chose to relate to the protection of the Council of Alnilam…This decision was moved by an intention of maintaining more freedom of decision regarding interactions with other cultures, as all members of the Galactic Federation of Worlds (35) are bound by strict rules of non-interference with primary cultures (36).” (34, pp.252-253)

In the second volume of Encyclopedia Galactica (37) we come across another mode of assistance, namely through spiritual advice. The Subaruth Shymuntaian are said to “sometimes be called upon to assist the Council of Alnilam with specific tasks in the holographic core matrix of the galaxy.” (37, p.10)

(2) Council of Alnilam. Elena Danaan mentioned them in her post-webinar 2 update in UPDATES – March 1 2023. In the excerpt below Elena seems to use Council of Alnilam almost synonymously with the Council of Five. I don’t know if that is a slip of the tongue, because I could imagine that the other four members have a different point of view, but then again, perhaps they don’t worry about any of these futilities.
