Stargonian

The Stargonians are a race of aliens from the planet Stargon that appear in the 1977 film, The Glitterball.

In terms of their appearance, Stargonians individually resemble a silver pinball but are shown as having a variety of different powers, including converting matter into energy and interfacing with electronic equipment. It isn't specified whether or not the species are fully or partially robotic.

One member of their race - referred to as the "Glitterball" as no name is given - was forced to make an emergency landing on Earth, due to its ship having engine troubles while on a journey to another galaxy. Befriending a pair of human boys, the group worked together to help the Glitterball gain enough energy to signal his people to collect him - all the while avoiding George "Filthy" Potter; a criminal who learns of the Glitterball and seeks to use its remarkable powers for his own benefit.
