Lyran vs Pleiadian
Related within channelled lore. Lyrans are described as the ancestral human-like race; Pleiadians as their descendants settled in the Pleiades.
The difference
In the channelled literature the Lyrans are the ancestors and the Pleiadians the descendants. Lyra is described as the origin of the human-like races; the Pleiades as where they settled. Lyrans are described as older, larger and more varied; Pleiadians as refined, spiritual and closer to us.

How to tell them apart
- Lyran is reported as the taller of the two (5′11″ – 7′3″, against 5′7″ – 6′11″ for Pleiadian).

- Reported height: Lyran 5′11″ – 7′3″; Pleiadian 5′7″ – 6′11″.
- Claimed origin: Lyran Lyra; Pleiadian Pleiades (Taurus).
- Neither appears in any of the Atlas case files; both are known through literature rather than sightings.
In their own dossiers
Lyrans are described as tall, strong and warm-toned, the most physically robust of the human-like types, with hair ranging from blond to red-brown and skin from fair to golden. A recurring detail in the channelled literature is a feline quality, sometimes only in the eyes and sometimes extending to a full cat-like face, which is why the Felinid is often treated as a Lyran sub-lineage. They are portrayed as pioneers: explorers, settlers and, in the founding myth, ancestors.
Pleiadians are the Nordic type under a different name, and their description is nearly identical: tall, fair, human-like beings with long blond or golden hair, blue eyes and luminous skin, in close-fitting light-coloured garments. Where the two differ is in emphasis. Nordics are described as watchers; Pleiadians are described as relatives. The literature insists that they are genetically close to humans, sometimes claiming that they seeded or intermarried with early human populations, and that they could pass unnoticed on an Earth street.
