In episode 77 of Star Nation News in June 2025, Elena Danaan introduced an intriguing new species called the Shena. This article presents the information that she shared with us, while embedding it within other related articles on this website.
THE ANT PEOPLE In 2022 JP, the (ex)-military contact of Dr. Michael Salla described how he went for an underground mission below the surface of Florida. He told us about how he met a particular species that looked like Ant People; people with actual antennae on their head (3).
MANTIDS In the video below you can learn about the Shena who once would have had a Mantis like appearance before they managed to alter their looks into a humanoid form. They would actually be related to the Akara Mantis. On the page on the Akara you can learn more about the experiences of people like Rebecca Rose, Simon Parks and of course some additional information from Elena Danaan on the Akara Mantids that would originate from a different galaxy altogether (4).
Back in 2023, Dr. Salla did a couple of interviews with Anton Anfonov, an expert on Extraterrestrials in Russia (and the former Soviet Union) (5). He also talks about the appearance of Mantids that would have been found near the Norwegian border on the Russian territory back in 1965. Some surviving mantids would actually have been studied in St. Petersburg, according to Anfonov (5).
ANOTHER SPECIES FROM THE CANCER CONSTELLATION The Shena live in a star system called ‘K2 352’, locally known as Muri Uribah, on a planet called Shat Akat Tu (2). This star system is in the constellation that we call ‘Cancer’. We have spoken about civilizations from this constellation before. You can learn more about the Morekat on our Green Skinned People page (6).
THE SHENA After having said all this, we are now ready to listen to Elena describing these intriguing human-looking insectoids. This video was part of Star Nation News, episode 77 (1). I want to thank Elena for sharing her information with the world, and I am glad I can be of assistance in archiving and spreading this information that might just turn out to be true someday:
Elena Danaan on The Shena (1,2)
Here’s a part of the transcript from the above video. You can find the complete text in her Encyclopedia Galactica (page 268-269, 2):
“Although they may appear humanoid at first glance, the Shena are actually a rare species of insectoids living in a hive-structured society. The Shena are not the result of genetic cross-breeding between species, but are instead endemic to their world. Originally, they had a mantis-like appearance, but over time they developed natural genetic shifting abilities and now resemble humans. The reason for this transformation remains unclear, but it may have been caused by a survival necessity linked to a distant past conflict with another invasive culture. Or, the story could be totally otherwise.
The Shena are fascinating, but they are very secretive. They are telepathic and not vocal, using their mouth only to feed. They do not have any physical records of their history. All information is available to them as an upload in the hive’s collective memory. Vegetarian, oviparous and binary species, the Shena are pacifist and discreet. They are members of the Galactic Federation of Worlds and the Galactic Guild of Merchants….Their mental abilities are impressive. They can easily perform telekinesis and mind control, so they are usually left alone.” (1,2)

— CALL FOR CHINESE AUDIENCE / December 2025 — (43,44)
On March 6, 2024 a video presentation by Linda Moulton Howe was posted on YouTube (1). It was from a presentation at the Los Angeles Conscious Life Expo that was held in February 2024 (2-16). She said a number of interesting things, like her account on the cattle mutilations (17).
This article focuses on a part that is related to information from an undisclosed whistleblower about a species that would be called ‘the Walking Stick Trantaloids’ . What do we know about them? How does this match with other information on this website?
JOINT SPECIAL OPERATION COMMAND ON MARS We recently used information from Linda Moulton Howe in regard to her interview with Brian S. and his flight over that mysterious hole in Antarctica (19). In the video-excerpt below Linda mentions the Joint Special Operation Command, JSOC.
JSOC (imagegrab from (1)
Earlier in the video she said the following about JSOC: “The American Mars base is overseen by JSOC which is the ultra Elite joint Special Operations Command that conducts highly classified and complex operations from its base on Earth in Fort Liberty North Carolina near the Army’s Fort Brag. JSOC and a classified US Navy group manage the operations of the Martian base”
I’m not sure of the timing of all this information. Linda Howe talks about a fairly recent contact with an Aerospace source with high classifications, starting in the end of 2019 through proton mail. He seems to speak in the present tense, as if all this is current. What kind of Secret Space Program is JSOC part of? It doesn’t look like it is associated with the Antarctic/Mars Germans (20). Nor does it appear to be part of the Earth Alliance (21).
Howe asked her source why JSOC was on Mars. He said that JSOC was there ‘to prevent a future Earth event from occurring. There is an ongoing threat of a conflict between us, our allies and the very dangerous Walking Stick Race of Trantaloid Insects from Epsilon Eridani” (1)
EPSILON ERIDANI Linda Howe uses a star map that includes Epsilon Eridani as the star system where these hostile insectoids would come from. Until now we have spoken about this star system only in connection with the Kahel with Val Nek as the most well known representative of that star system (22). A person from that star system was also mentioned in the Oscar case, where he was seen in a spaceship next to someone from the Tau Ceti System (23). The Kahel are said to live on the first planet in that system according to Elena Danaan (24).
These Walking Stick Trantaloids would live on the third planet according to an undisclosed source that informed someone called Victor Martinez. We can read: “The source also reportedly stated to Martinez that the home world of the alleged hostile alien species, the Trantaloids, “is the third planet out from the star Epsilon Eridani in the constellation Eridanus at 10.5 light-years away. Although somewhat cooler and fainter than our sun, it is very similar.” (25, article from 2010)
It is interesting to note that there is no mention of Trantaloids or any hostile malevolent insectoid species on Epsilon Eridani in Elena’s work. They also have never been mentioned anywhere as far as I know. We have come to know all kinds of malevolent species, but these are not among them.
ZETA RETICULI AND THE EBEN While searching through the information on these Trantaloids I stumbled upon an article from a deleted website dealing with Serpo articles. Luckily they were archived in the internet archive and I made a copy of the article that mentioned the Trantaloids (26). Some of it can also be found at (27). We have spoken about that alleged mission that would have taken place to the planet Serpo in the Zeta Reticuli constellation to a planet of the Eben from 1965 to 1978 (28). That source says that the Trantaloids would come from a planet called Silus in the Zeta Reticuli constellation as well (29).
So, what to make of this? Are they from Epsilon Eridanus or from Zeta Reticuli? Or, as a member of the GA Study Group (30) suggested, they might have originated in the Zeta Reticuli system but moved to Epsilon Eridadus. If anyone has anything sensible to say on this issue please do so.
A TRANTALOID PRISONER IN 1961 AND A TALK WITH PRESIDENT REAGAN IN 1981 In (29) we can read about an alleged conversation that would have taken place between president Ronald Reagan and a few advisers on the issue of extraterrestrials. In this talk the Trantaloids are mentioned:
The Eben from Serpo, Zeta Reticuli (31)
“The CARETAKER: Mr President, the five (5) species are called, Ebens, Archquloids, Quadloids, Heplaloids and Trantaloids. These names were given to the alien’s species by the intelligence community, specifically MJ-5. The Ebens are friendly; the Trantaloids are the dangerous ones.
WM CASEY: Mr President, we have a Trantaloid, but it is dead. We captured it in 1961 in Canada and we had it in captivity until 1962, when it died.
. . . the Trantaloids have strange materials … nothing like [those found on] Earth. These ALIENS CAN IMITATE HUMANS. They CAN LOOK LIKE BLOND HUMANS. However, they are not blond, but UGLY-LOOKING INSECTS.
WM CASEY: They are pretty nasty looking.
PRESIDENT: Well, they would stand out.
ADVISER #4: No, Mr President, as I said THEY CAN IMITATE LOOKING LIKE HUMANS.” (29)
MEET OUR ALLIES In the video excerpt below we can hear Linda M. Howe (who is over eighty years old) talk about what her contact said about our allies. “The groups that have joined this fight are the Tall Whites, the original Grays that are not cloned or biological artificial Grays, and what you call Nordic Types. The Nordics are from the Sirius B system and look very much like Earth Scandinavian people.”
Linda Moulton Howe on what her source told her about the Trantaloid Walking Stick Species (1)
Linda asked where the original biological Grays were from and she was told that they would originate from the Epsilon Indi system. They are designated as “The Orange” in JSOC terminology. The whistleblower Dr. Michael Wolf also mentioned these Orange ‘Grays’; he was told that they were from the Andromeda Constellation, however (41). Wolf also claimed that a certain Gray-autopsy video was real (42). This would have been an autopsy on one of the Orange-skinned ones too. One of the functions of the Mars base would to ‘listen’ in order to detect, mainly the Walking Stick species.
Linda Howe then asked what the situation was in 2024 and she was given the answer that there is concern about the real purpose of an object that was found in the orbit of Ganymede. Another concern is that there might be other hostile species that may challenge our entry into deep space. The sources reassuringly said that we would have off-world species that would make sure that Earth would remain safe.
The threat of this walking stick shapeshifting insectoid species would be one of the main reasons why they aren’t telling us the truth, says Linda Howe.
SOME REFLECTIONS As you might have noticed this website uses the framework of Elena Danaan’s perspective on our galactic reality as the foundation. It doesn’t treat it as gospel, but I think it is the most comprehensive information we have available at the moment. Much of it is corroborated by SSP-participants and whistleblowers. The result of this approach is that I tend to compare other information with this foundation, where I also am inclined to put more credence to the ED work than to other information that strongly deviates from it. Although I try to be neutral I simply have my preference for the ED material.
Artistic impression of the Tall Whites/Kiily Tokurt by Stef Zak (snapshot taken from (38))
Having said that, I would like to reflect on the information given by Howe’s contact. I would like to start off with those species that he calls ‘allies’. Tall Grays, Grays (Orange) and Nordics from Sirius B. When I look at those species they are strikingly different that the allies we have come to know, namely the ones from the Galactic Federation of World (32).
I would be inclined to see the allies here from the Dark (Deep State) Secret Space Programs, like the Kiily Tokurt (Tall-Whites) (34) and some Gray species. I can’t remember any Nebu-Grays being slightly orange and originating in the Indi Constellation working with the US, though.
When thinking about Sirius B blonde Nordics I am inclined to think of the Ashtar Collective before it was disbanded in November 2022 in this context and not the T-Ashkeru allied with the Galactic Federation of Worlds. On the page on the Asthar Collective and Ashtar Galactic Command (35) we can read the following: “Whereas the Ashtar Galactic Command is benevolent, the Ashtar Collective is not. In ‘A Gift from the Stars’ we come across the following description of this group based in Sirius B: “Humanoids of various types (Sirius B/Altair mainly), Reptoids, Greys, Insectoids, and genetically engineered species, also called ‘The Sirian Collective’. The headquarters are located in the Sirius B system on the planet Morga.” (24, p.319 and 35). So, Sirius B (36) wasn’t exactly a place that was governed by benevolent species.
To round off this article my hypothesis would be that Howe’s contact is part of a dark (Cabal) US SSP-program that used to work with members of the Alliance of the Six, like the Kiily Tokurt, and perhaps species like the Solipsi Rai or the Zeta Reticuli (37). The US worked with the people from Altair who were also present in that Sirian Collective or the Ashtar Collective. If this hypothesis were valid it would mean that they are no longer in contact with them on Earth. It also casts doubt on the existence of these Trantaloids from Epsilon Eridanus. That would explain why they aren’t mentioned anywhere. Perhaps our so called ‘allies’ made up this species to instill fear in us and make us dependent on them?
On the other hand it would have been the benign Eben from Zeti Reticuli that would have given that information on the Trantaloids. They wouldn’t have a reason to lie to us.
Well, quite a complicated topic to discuss. It would be wonderful if Elena would take a look at her GFW-library or even the one on Nibiru, to look for these Trantaloid species, to confirm or deny their existence. If you are still up to it after reading this long article, join the Study group or subscribe to another group or channel (30).

Although the study of Enki’s account of our history is far from over, I would like to pay some attention to two interviews Dr. Michael Salla has had with his contact in the military: JP. He has given us a lot of information on the arks and the meetings with off-world people last year (1-3), and he keeps on doing his missions in domains which most people will find incredible. This site is about Galactic Anthropology and this implies the study of all intelligent life, no matter how strange it may be.
We have come across the Koldassi that inhabit a parallel dimension of Neptune (4) and recently we have gotten to know the Seeder races from the Intergalactic Confederation, of which 11 would have contributed to our genome (5). You can watch the illustrations of all 24 members of the Intergalactic Federations in Elena Danaan’s book, the Seeders (6).
In October 2022 JP describes the magical world that he entered in a subterranean world below the state of Florida (7,8). In his first mission he describes a few guards that looked like ‘ant-people’
I have to admit that my first reaction to this description was one of disbelief. JP is telling all kinds of amazing things but where is the proof!? But then I started to search a bit on ‘Ant-People’ and I discovered the link with this myth by the Hopi-Indians. You can listen to an interesting interview with the Indian elder Clifford Mahooty (9) to find out more about the Ant People who would have played an important role in their history, for they would have saved the Hopi people twice:
(couldn’t retrieve origin of this image, but it looks like an ant-like being with 2 arms and 2 legs)
“During these two global cataclysms, the virtuous members of the Hopi tribe were guided by an odd-shaped cloud during the day and a moving star at night that led them to the sky god named Sotuknang, who finally took them to the Ant People—in Hopi, Anu Sinom . The Ant People then escorted the Hopi into subterranean caves where they found refuge and sustenance. ” (10)
And for those who have noticed the word ‘Anu’ in the above quote, there’s some possible link with our ‘friends’ the Anunnaki:
“The Hopi words for the Ant People or Ant Friends (Anu Sinom) create a direct link to the stories of the Anunnaki. It could be coincidental, but it is quite striking. The Babylonian sky god was named Anu, which is the Hopi word for ant. The word, Naki translates to “friends.” Thus, Anu-Naki translates to “ant friends” in Hopi. In both languages, they are describing extraterrestrial beings, but the Hopi say these Ant People came from under the ground.” (10)
SOME REFLECTIONS If you want there’s a lot more to discover on the Ant People. For instance you can search for the work of Gary A. David (11). Just imagine that these Ant People not only exist but that we as ‘surface’ people are slowly getting to know them. If you watch the interviews (7,8) with JP you can hear him talk about a present that was given by these subterranean people to us. Seeds were part of this present.
The Ashai. Illustration by Elena Danaan (6, p.95)
As far as that possible connection between the Hopi Anunnaki (meaning ‘Ant Friends’) and the Anunnaki that we have got to know, it seems highly unlikely that they are the same people. At least I haven’t seen any images of Enki or Enlil with antennae at the sides of their heads.
To round off this article I would like to remind you that according to the information from the book ‘The Seeders‘ one of our ‘seeders’ would be insectoid, meaning that we would have insectoid DNA in our genomes. These people from the Intergalactic Federation are called the Ashai and although they do carry two neat antennae on their heads they do have four arms and two legs, which distinguishes them from the ant people that JP described 🙂
The Ashai would have had an outpost in our solar system, namely on the continent of Mu. Some of their descendants would still live on Mars. (6, p.94)
Perhaps the Ant People are descendants from the Ashai as well, with some hybridization you could easily lose a few arms, right?
In a video on December 10, 2022 (12) Elena again talked about the Ant People. In that video she also made this link with the Ashai as the Root Race for the Ant People. See the excerpt below.
THE ASHAI IN THE ONLY PLANET OF CHOICE Just like the Hoova/Hoovids are mentioned in both the work of Elena Danaan and the Only Planet of Choice (13), the Ashai also feature in both sources, although they are called ‘Ashan’ in the latter book (14).
Here’s a fragment from the book (in which the Ashan are mentioned quite often):
“ANDREW: Right. And Ashan, can you give us some historical reference for Ashan’s role in the past?
Tom: Ashan was the beginning of the great composers, the Renaissance, the greatness of art upon the Planet Earth. It began in a small portion in the time of Egypt in its working with gold, and in its beauty of architectural environments. Ashan is simply a civilization of great creativity. It has brought to the Planet Earth great music, great art, and great literature. Yes.” (13, p.33)
In the book the Ashan/Ashai are described as looking very different from humans. Just like the Zeneel (who are called Z-Neel in Elena’s The Seeders, 6), which is another argument for the Ashan being the same group as the Ashai:
“I will ask Altea how he would choose to appear… Altea has said that they would choose to appear in their usual form, which is what you would call humanoid. Hoovids have that appearance. Ashans do not, Zeneels do not.” (13, p.31)
The Ant People with the Ashai as their probable Root Race (12)
Update January 2023 In another talk with Dr. Michael Salla (15), JP says that he has been on another mission below the surface of Florida. It was not the same place that he had visited twice before, but it was in those surroundings. He once again describes the beauty of that world down there. He noticed that there were some 30 humans living in between the Ant People, and they were just as happy as all these beings were. He had the privilege to talk to the king of those Ant People living there. The king told him that the would welcome more people in their world and that they were going to go to the surface too, with the goal of teaching the people in the way that they have taught other cultures in the past. JP and his mission were given a crystal like device that had some copper/gold wired around it. This device would have healing qualities and it would be able to ‘age-repair’. He said that people could live there easily for more than 200 years. The king would have been around for at least 100 years longer. Watch (15) for more details.
ANT PEOPLE SHIFTED INTO ANOTHER DENSITY In a video from April 1, 2024 (16) we can hear JP describe a mission into the same realms that he had visited earlier. He was surprised to see that there were no Ant People anymore. After tuning into a higher vibration he did see one of the Ant People who guided him around a bit. Then he went through some barrier and JP’s body seemed to shift into a higher density that allowed him to once again see many of the Ant People.
They told him that their king had died and the giant had awoken and that he had taken them into a higher density. Perhaps it was indeed Ningishzida (17) that had awoken. JP felt that he was not yet ready to actually meet him.
On May 14, 2022 Elena Danaan posted a video in her ‘Contact-Series’ (1,2) in which referred to a city called Aries Prime on Mars. She is not the first one to name this Martian place. This article combines the recent developments as mentioned by Elena with related information from people like Tony Rodriques and Randy Cramer on Aries Prime.
(Artist impression of Aries Prime; illustration taken from video (2))
On April 27, 2022, Thor Han paid a visit to Aries Prime and Elena Danaan got to see a bit of the inside of this ancient base that was once set up by the German Dark Fleet with the assistance of their Ciakahrr ‘friends’ (3).
As you know, Mars was liberated in 2021, so there are no more Ciakahrr (4) or people from the Dark Fleet present. Many people, however, would have decided to stay, but no longer serving the Dark Fleet. She describes a huge maintenance hangar in the base. Thor Han was talking to two residents of Mars (someone from Earth and a pale-skinned person with an elongated skull) and the main topic seemed to be the effects of the recent ‘marsquakes’ on the base. It was slightly damaged, but there was no serious damage.
MARSQUAKES AND TERRAFORMING ACTIVITIES In an earlier article I talked about the plan to prepare for new colonies on Mars (5). People from Alpha Centauri and Proxima Centauri have moved a few months ago to settle on Mars in order to create new – high tech – biodomes which would not only be used by them, but also by humans from Earth. They would help us by sharing their technology with us. Due to the terraforming activities, however, marsquakes were created. Perhaps they did some ‘piling work’ on the Martian soil 🙂
Another interesting element in this update is that NASA put out information on marsquakes on May 13, 2022. Their Insight Lander recorded the biggest quake ever, that was ten times as strong as the old ‘record holder’ (6). Would they actually be registering the effects of the terraforming proces by the Centaurians? (14)
RANDY CRAMER AND ARIES PRIME Randy Cramer was one of the few men who remembered their 20-year-and-back program (7). He served 17 years on Mars on the first human settlement on Aries Prime, which also was the first human colony on Mars (8). He was a military man in the military department of the base, called Forward Station Zebra. Just like Elena Danaan has said he talks of two kinds of beings on Mars: the Reptoids (9) and the insectoids (10). Cramer says that he was surprised to find out that the air on Mars is breathable.
He talks about a treaty that was signed between the people from Earth and the Martians. There were two points to this treaty: humans would refrain from invading the sacred places of the indigenous and second they would want us to fight along them against the Draco Reptilians invaders (the Ciakahrr). Unfortunately the humans could not stick to this treaty and they decided to enter their sacred spaces to steal an artefact. They came to a kind of ‘astrodome’ and out came the reptiloids carrying large bladed weapons killing all of the attackers. Cramer was one of the about 35 people that survived (8).
Dr. Michael Salla already wrote about Randy Cramer in 2014 when he was using a pseudonym (15). Also listen to the interviews he had with Cramer in 2015 (16,17).
TONY RODRIGUES AND ARIES PRIME In his 2021-book ‘Ceres Colony Cavalier’ (11) Tony Rodrigues writes about his experiences. He spent most of his time on the Dark Fleet Colony asteroid/planet Ceres, but he also served on Mars for a while. He dedicated chapter 10 to Aries Prime, which was called the capitol.
He describes how he entered Aries Prime – coming from another location on Mars: “we de-boarded the plane into a giant hangar room where we could breathe the air. I could see that there were doors large enough for the ship at one end, and through them I could see sunlight. From there we went into a large room that looked like a cafetaria (12).
We passed another set of doors and found ourselves in a location under some kind of geodesic dome that was Aries Prime. I remember seeing the layers of red dirt piled up against the sides of this dome, because it was constructed out of clear material. At the top of the dome, there was a small area that wasn’t covered by dirt, and you could see the sky and dust blowing over it. We were in what appeared to be an airport with palm trees and even a water feature. There were civilians and other types of people everywhere.
It turns out that Aries Prime is a plush metropolis city and transportation hub on Mars. It’s modern, pleasing to the eye, and very comfortable to be in. Both humans and extraterrestrial races inhabit the city, although the population is predominantly human. There were multiple languages spoken.” (11, p.206)
On Aries Prime Rodrigues was tested by a rather sour kind of Grey for a number of days to see what skills he had, before he was transported to Ceres.
SOME REFLECTIONS Tony Rodrigues also talks about fights that took place between insectoids on Mars and humans (often clones (13)). When I listen to the way Cramer describes how they were actually invading the sanctuaries of the indigenous it reminded me of the movie Avatar. It seems that we haven’t left a very good first impression as humans in space….first we send our Nazi-Germans out after they made this terrible pact with one of the most aggressive species, the Ciakahrr, and then we go on defiling sacred places of other species.
Let’s just hope that we can do better in our role within the Earth Alliance, in order to finally earn our place in the Galactic Federation of Worlds. Thor Han said that they would do away with the name ‘Aries Prime’ to replace it with a name that will be given by the Martians themselves.
Update September 2022: See Endnote 152 for a description of an old city that was found in the Gale Crater according to Alex Collier’s sources. Perhaps Aries Prime is located in this Crater? You can find more on the Marsquakes and Aries Prime in Elena Danaan’s book ‘The Seeders‘ (18).
