Elena Danaan

Elena Danaan is a French-born author and self-described contactee and “experiencer” who rose to prominence in the early 2020s within the online UFO-disclosure community.

She has stated a background as a field archaeologist, including years working in Egypt, before turning to public contactee work. Her best-known book, A Gift from the Stars: Extraterrestrial Contacts and Guide of Alien Races (2020), presents an illustrated catalogue of many alien races, alliances and a star map, framed by her account of an abduction and a “rescue” by the Galactic Federation of Worlds, including a Pleiadian contact she names Thor Han.

Danaan represents the contemporary, internet-driven evolution of the galactic-federation contactee genre. Working largely through YouTube and books, she frames her transmissions as communication with a benevolent galactic alliance engaged in a cosmic “disclosure” of Earth’s hidden history and future.

Her work continues the lineage running from mid-century contactees through Pleiadian channeling, updated for the 2020s disclosure milieu. This entry describes her documented claims and influence neutrally; the contact and galactic-federation narratives are her own and remain unverified and contested.
