Alien Races Book
The Alien Races Book (also known as The Russian Secret Book of Alien Races) is a document purporting to be a catalog of 58 extraterrestrial species that have visited Earth, based on a classified KGB file allegedly maintained from 1946 through the 2000s. The English translation was published circa 2014 by Dante Santori with contributor Petro, and is freely available on the Internet Archive.
Contents
Each of the 58 entries includes the species' origin star system, physical description, behavioral characteristics, frequency of Earth visits, and known relationships with Earth governments. Notable entries include the Maitre (from Megopei/Andromeda), the Solipsi Rai (from Cygnus), the Indugutk (listed as "Tall Whites," from Bellatrix), and the Anunnaki.
Provenance
The document was allegedly compiled and maintained by Soviet intelligence beginning in 1946 and continued by the Russian Federation's security services through at least the 2000s. The KGB original was reportedly updated as new contact events occurred, with entries spanning from prehistoric encounters to incidents in the early twenty-first century. The document was said to have originally circulated in Russian before being translated by Dante Santori with the assistance of contributor Petro.
Relationship to A Gift from the Stars
The ARB is frequently cross-referenced with Elena Danaan's A Gift from the Stars (2020), which independently describes many of the same species under different names. The two catalogs — one Soviet/KGB in origin, one channeled from a Pleiadian contact — agree on a number of species designations, behavioral characteristics, and Earth visitation histories, providing an unusual cross-source corroboration within the alternative disclosure community. Researchers note that both documents describe the Maitre as a particularly aggressive species with hostile intent toward humanity.
Authenticity debate
The ARB's provenance has not been independently verified. The claim of KGB origin is consistent with other Soviet-era UAP document stories — including material associated with the KGB UFO files released after the Soviet Union's collapse — but no Soviet archive has confirmed the document's existence. Santori and Petro declined to reveal the chain of custody through which the original Russian document was obtained. Critics note the document's style is consistent with 2010s-era alternative history publishing rather than Soviet intelligence formatting; proponents note its convergence with material from independent Western contactee accounts — particularly Elena Danaan's direct-contact testimony and Alex Collier's Andromedan Council material — as evidence of an underlying genuine source. The question of whether all three traditions independently arrived at overlapping species descriptions, or whether they share a common source document or channeled information stream, remains open within the research community.
