Tamarians | 2260s | Unknown | Unknown, possible captain A. Silvestri | TNG: "Darmok" | The Federation had encountered the Tamarians seven times in the hundred years before 2368, but formal relations were only established in that year due to vast differences in their methods of communication |

Yridians | 24th century,before 2367 | Unknown | Captain Rudolph Ransom | VOY: "Equinox" | Yridians were thought to be extinct, though it is unknown for how long, as the 22nd century Vulcan database had info helpful in contacting them. (ENT: "Twilight") First contact occurred between Ransom's graduating from Starfleet Academy and his promotion to captain, which was in 2367 at the latest, based on knowledge of his encounter with a Klingon Bird-of-Prey in that year. Assuming that Branson's age in 2375 was 50, like John Savage, first contact was probably at most thirty years before 2367 |

Sky Spirits | Several times, starting 45,000 years ago. | Earth, America | Native Americans | VOY: "Tattoo" | This species engaged in genetically engineering the group of people that would become come to inhabit North and South America. They reached Earth from their Delta Quadrant homeworld in generation ships. It is not explicitly stated when they last visited Earth, but their description of the circumstances suggests it to be somewhere after the conquest of the Americas by Europeans. |
Kukulkan's species | Time of the Egyptian, Mayan, Aztec, and Chinese civilizations | Earth | Humans from around the world | TAS: "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth" | Kukulkan was the last of his kind, he was mistaken for a god by the Earth natives and taught them technology and architecture; the true nature of this entity was discovered in 2270 by the crew of the USS Enterprise |
Greek Gods | Around 2700 BC | Mediterranean region of Earth | Inhabitants of ancient Greece | TOS: "Who Mourns for Adonais?" | This race was thought mythical until encountered by the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) in 2267 |
Gary Seven's benefactors | 4000 BC and later through human agents | Earth | Unknown | TOS: "Assignment: Earth" | This race kidnapped Humans from Earth so that their ancestors could work as their agents |

Preservers | 18th century | North America, Earth | Native Americans | TOS: "The Paradise Syndrome" | They transplanted a group of Native Americans to Amerind |
Skagarans | 19th century | United States of America, Earth | Humans | ENT: "North Star" | They transplanted a group of several thousand Humans to one of their colonies to work as slaves; their descendants suggest they used mainly Americans of European descent |
Redjac | 1888 - 1891, 1932, 1974 | London, Shanghai and Kiev | Humans | TOS: "The Paradise Syndrome" | The true nature of this entity was discovered in 2267 by the crew of the Enterprise |
El-Aurians | Around 1893 | San Francisco, Earth | Humans | TNG: "Time's Arrow" | Guinan resided on Earth for a time, posing as a Human |
Devidians | 19th century | San Francisco | Humans | TOS: "Time's Arrow" | Devidians preyed on Humans in this era, though they seem to have gone completely undetected due to them existing slightly out of phase; Devidian-caused deaths were usually attributed to disease instead |
Briori | 1937 | Earth | 300 Human inductees | VOY: "The 37's" | |
Ferengi | 1947 | Roswell, New Mexico | Unnamed Air Force officials | DS9: "Little Green Men" | United States of America military apparently covered this up. The Ferengi were not 20th century Ferengi but rather time-traveling 24th century Ferengi. Other unidentified first contacts were made with the Ferengi in 2151 and 2355. (ENT: "Acquisition"; TNG: "The Battle") |
Vulcans | 1930, 1957, 1968, 1969, 1986, 1996, 2004 | New York City, Carbon Creek, Pennsylvania, Earth orbit, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit, Earth | Residents of New York (especially Edith Keeler), Several inhabitants of Carbon Creek, John Christopher, a US Air Force Police sergeant, Roberta Lincoln, several Cetacean Institute visitors and Dr. Gillian Taylor, Rain Robinson, Loomis | TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever", ENT: "Carbon Creek", TOS: "Tomorrow is Yesterday", TOS: "Assignment: Earth", Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, VOY: "Future's End", ENT: "Carpenter Street" | According to Vulcan T'Pol, one of her ancestors and two colleagues were stranded on Earth when their ship crashed while observing Sputnik. Since Earth was a pre-warp civilization at the time, the Vulcans hid their alien nature from the locals while waiting for rescue. However, it is somewhat doubtful if this incident really happened.
Of these myriad contacts, only Christopher and the seargent (whose experiences were erased from the timeline), Lincoln, and Taylor (who returned to the 23rd century with the Enterprise crew), were ever made aware of the Spock's true "alien" nature. |
Borg | 2063 | Earth Orbit | Lily Sloane | Star Trek: First Contact | Time-traveling Borg from the 24th century tried to interrupt first contact between Humans and Vulcans. Lily Sloane, a 21st century Human, encountered Borg while on the USS Enterprise-E for medical treatment. (Star Trek: First Contact) Warp drive inventor Zefram Cochrane also seemed well informed on the Borg, though he never had direct contact. A second premature first contact event occurred in 2151, when several dead drones were found in the Arctic Circle and accidentally re-activated. ENT: "Regeneration" |
Klingons | 2369 | Devidia II orbit | Samuel Clemens | TNG: "Time's Arrow, Part II" | Samuel Clemens encountered a 24th century Klingon while on the Enterprise-D |
Organians | 2154 | Unnamed uninhabited planet | Enterprise NX-01 | ENT: "Observer Effect" | The Organians erased all memory of their encounter and planned to make official first contact in about 5,000 years; however, they were forced to make first contact little more than a hundred years later, in 2267, in order to stop the Federation-Klingon War |
Paxans | 2367 | Planet in the Ngame Nebula | USS Enterprise-D | TNG: "Clues" | Due to the extremely xenophobic nature of this species, the crew of the Enterprise-D agreed to erase all their memories and all records of their encounter. One can speculate that other such encounters may have happened |
