Meet the ‘starseeds’ who believe they’re ALIENS living on earth & can protect us from a galactic war – & real reason why
ALIENS might be living among us here on Earth - and they believe they can protect us from a galactic war.
Someone who calls themself a "starseed" is a human who believes they were aliens in a past life before arriving on Earth stuck in a human body, and The Sun has learnt all about them.
Experts told The Sun that some starseeds believe there is currently a war between good and bad aliens in a galaxy unreachable to us.
It means some starseeds might align themselves with either the good side or the bad side.
The idea was originated by Brad Steiger in his 1976 book Gods of Aquarius.
They claim to channel human lifeforms and suffer helplessness and total amnesia concerning their identity, origins and life purpose.

It is not known exactly how many people identify as starseeds, because many choose to keep this part of themselves private.
Those involved with the world of starseeds explained that they are more likely to relate to something like Star Wars than to real life.
Dr Susannah Crockford, an anthropology lecturer at the University of Exeter, said a key reason why people identify as starseeds is because they don't feel like they belong.
She told The Sun: "Most of the starseeds I met were very on their own.
"Some of them would explicitly say that there was a war between these good and bad aliens, and that they were on the side of the good.
"They would relate it to something like Star Wars and say that was in fact real.
"Not literally real, but the idea that there are star systems at war with each other. So it gave them a sense of mission and purpose.
"There are still bad aliens, often these are called 'Reptilians'.
"So there are the bad aliens, and then there are the good aliens.
"And most, in fact all of the Starseeds I met said that they were on the side of the good aliens.
"They said they came from planets such as Sirius, or Lyra, Pleiades was a common one, Arcturus.
"These are quite distant stars from our solar system, we don't really know what's on there, and we have no real knowledge of what these planets are, so you can sort of speculate as to what is there.
"They were part of something much more important than what they may be doing in their everyday life.
"They actually had something far more exciting going on in their life, which was being a starseed."
STARSEED CULT CONTROVERSY
In some cases, notable influencers in the starseed space have been accused of using their worldview to "brainwash"; people.
In an article for in 2016, Leigh Alexander recounted her experience with Unicole Unicron, who is the leader of UNICULT.
Unicole also runs a TikTok with over 120,000 followers, in which she makes content based around her experiences as an alien.
Unicole describes UNICULT as a way to help others see the light after her suicide attempt made her realise that she is the belief that she is an incarnation of a divine being of light helped her heal.
She decided to join the group, which required her to give a drop of her blood as part of an initiation.
One of the most revealing parts of the article is the internal structure that holds starseeds together, including Unicole, blind faith.
The publication labelled her as "anti-vax".
TOM THE ALIEN
In June 2024, Kelly Tyler went on This Morning and claimed that she is a starseed who healed from long term sickness, after she swapped souls with a ‘walk in alien’ when she was just a child.
She says she's been able to "astral travel" and can leave her earthly body on command, transporting herself to a galaxy far, far away, where she meets up with blue aliens.
Kelly told the programme: "When I was a child I wasn't born as a starseed. I was a very sensitive child... I was quite an ill child, and also the world was too sensitive for me.
"I would be at the bottom of my garden, with a bug box looking at stuff rather than interacting with people because it felt too much."
She went onto recount how she first came into contact with a spiritual entity, who she calls "Tom".
"I developed a relationship, or had contact, with this being from at age of seven at the bottom of my garden.
"He appeared as a light and then started to show himself more, and we just used to have this really comforting telepathic relationship.
"About a year later I developed whooping cough and I got really really ill, to the fact that I lost all my weight, and the doctors said she's not gonna make it.
"At that time, myself and this being exchanged souls.
"It's not a possession of somebody taking over, it's a mutual agreement that we decided to exchange souls.
"I don't have any real emotional memory of being pre-eight years old, and my personality ,and my physicality changed.
"I went from actually being not that clever to being able to do stuff.
"I ended up passing an entrance exam for a private school...my social skills improved and I became less shy and introverted.
"Lots of significant changes happened, and nobody can really understand why."
A WIDER PURPOSE
Dr Susannah went onto add that starseeds are seeking a wider purpose: "They were all motivated by a sense that they were seeking something larger than themselves, some sort of wider mission, something else that would account for these various feelings that they had.
"They didn't quite fit in, they weren't really like everyone else.
"Partly it was driven by a sense of alienation from their wider culture, that these were people who for various reasons felt like they didn't really fit in with mainstream American culture."
But another expert insists that despite starseed's apparent intentions to search for a larger purpose, they have to do this from the shadows.
Fermi Paradox – what is it?
Here's what you need to know...
- The Fermi Paradox isn't strict evidence for alien life – but more of a thought experiment
- It's a famous contradiction posed by physicist Enrico Fermi
- Fermi suggested that the enormous size of the universe – and the billions of Sun-like stars in the galaxy, and their planets – makes it highly likely that there is intelligent life out there
- Some of these civilisations may have developed interstellar travel
- But Fermi also noted that there's a significant lack of evidence for life on other planets
- The chances of aliens being able to reach us are high, but there's no evidence that aliens ever have
- This paradox has baffled scientists for decades
George Lizos, a psychic healer and spiritual teacher, said this group in society are usually "people pleasers".
He told The Sun: "They tend to be people pleasers, because the whole collective purpose of star people is to create peace on Earth.
"And they are here to bring forth new frequencies, new technologies, new ideas for the purpose of expanding human consciousness, but at the same time to create peace."
George, who does not identify as a starseed, added: "They are eager to help in whatever way they can.
"That being said, because they are highly sensitive, they are not very comfortable being in the spotlight. They'd much rather work behind the scenes to create powerful change.
"They are also very focused on accomplishing tasks and working rather than forming relationships.
"On their home planet, they form relationships in different ways, so they are not used to the way we procreate for example.

"They may also seem a little bit distant as a result of that.
"Once they realise I am here to help, in a conscious way, then that essentially overpowers their anxieties or their feeling of alienation."
