Jathaa

The Jathaa were an alien race who used a type of transport known as the Jathaa sunglider.

History
The Jathaa had interstellar travel capabilities by the late 20th century and by the 1990s had begun to visit Earth.

In 1997, a Jathaa Sunglider was shot down by the Torchwood Institute over the North Sea. It was kept in Torchwood 1 (TV: Army of Ghosts). Its weapons system was back-engineered for use against alien invasions. (TV: 'The Christmas Invasion)

In 2008, an squad of at least three Jathaa ships were transported to over the Taj Mahal when the Cardiff Space-Time Rift temporarily fractured across the Earth. (TV: End of Days)
