Grey Aliens
Grey Aliens are perhaps the most widely recognized and popular alien species, and have consistently appeared in television and film for decades. The notorious Roswell crash in 1947 first brought these beings to the public eye, sparking an obsession with these creatures that still exists today. A strange craft fell from the sky on a warm summer night in July of 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico, raising concern among the military and townspeople alike.
Some claim that the vessel was piloted by strange, small creatures, about 3.5 feet tall, with enormous eyes and grey skin.
Was the craft indeed piloted by these creatures, and if so, did any of them survive the crash? The Roswell incident remains one of the most debated and puzzling events in modern UFO history, and it’s no surprise that the infamous Greys were involved. Grey alien encounters account for 43% of extraterrestrial beings sighted, and are commonly reported among government whistleblowers and abductees alike.
Origin
The exact planetary origin of this species is widely believed to be Zeta Reticuli, a wide binary star system in the southern constellation of Reticulum. Although, there is the possibility that several species of Greys exist, originating from different points in the galaxy such as the Orion system. The Greys, it is believed, have been operating on Earth for quite some time.
There also exists the possibility that they are a later evolution of the human species, and that over use of cloning and genetic manipulation has destroyed their DNA and driven them nearly to the point of extinction. This hypothesis could help explain the harvesting of human tissues and prevalence of cattle mutilations as an attempt to refresh their own genetic makeup. Could the Greys be collecting these samples to continue cloning themselves, or is it possible that they are creating a hybrid species, part human and part alien?
Mythology
Some believe that Greys are the modern-day interpretation of the fairy folk, whose visitations to Earth have been occurring since ancient times.
Characteristics
Physical Characteristics
Regardless of the extent of their involvement on our planet, the Greys stand out in their appearance. The most striking characteristic of these beings are their large black almond-shaped eyes, devoid of pupils or irises. They have unusually large heads, elongated arms, and seem to lack muscular structure. These beings generally have grey skin, although some are reported as ranging from bluish grey in color to beige or tan, and even white.
They tend to stand between 3.5-6 feet tall, and it appears that their height and skin color reflect their status. The mouth, ears and nose of the Grey species are nearly nonexistent. As generally sexless beings, it is believed that they repopulate through cloning technology, while most small Greys are thought to be controlled by a hive mind; hive mind may also be known as swarm intelligence, which is the collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems. They are fourth density beings.
Modes of Transportation
Greys tend to travel in saucer-shaped, triangular or spherical craft.
Intentions on Earth
Perhaps the greatest mystery of the Greys is their agenda and intentions for planet Earth and the humans that inhabit this world. It is widely agreed that they seem to be involved in a long-term experiment using the genetic makeup of our species, carefully following and abducting individuals, subjecting them to various tests and attempting to wipe clean the memories of these frightening experiences. Many claim that the Greys communicate through telepathy and often employ mind control when interacting with test subjects. It is said that they can stun and subdue people with their dark and fathomless eyes, implanting memories and rendering abductees immobile.
The Greys are highly intelligent beings, but appear to value science above spirituality. They seem to run the gamut as far as intentions go: some Greys appear unconcerned with human emotions, viewing us as simple test subjects, while other abductees report a positive and emotional connection during their abductions. It is thought that the Greys hold allegiance with several other alien species, either as equals or as a slave class themselves.
Abductees have encountered Greys that work closely with Reptilian aliens, and these tend to be malevolent in nature and subservient to the wishes of the Reptilians. Others have witnessed Greys that seem to be assisting Nordic aliens, another group of aliens known for their peaceful and spiritual nature. Are the Greys using humans as a genetic farm, or are they perhaps stewards of our species, tracking and observing our evolution?
Notable Abductions or Encounters
As mentioned above, the Greys are perhaps the most widely recognized of the alien races. Notable encounters include the Barney and Betty Hill abduction, an infamous case involving a married couple who were taken aboard a UFO in 1961, physically examined and subsequently released. The couple soon began to recall their frightening ordeal, and sought medical and psychological assistance, attempting to understand what had occurred. This is perhaps the first widely studied case of abduction, and the Hills both described interacting with beings that closely resemble the Greys.
Whitley Strieber’s book Communion brought alien abduction to the public eye, as a bestselling novel and later a film adaptation. Strieber’s abduction and interaction with “the visitors” mirrors similar accounts of other abductees, with Strieber’s Greys being of a more benevolent nature. Visitations and abductions featuring Greys generally include medical examinations and procedures, and the appearance of hybrid beings (part human and Grey) are another hallmark of these cases.

Was The 1977 Southern Television Broadcast Interruption A Hoax?
Government agencies that regulate television and radio signals are pretty astute when it comes to maintaining the security of the airwaves. But just after 5 p.m. on Nov. 26, 1977, unsuspecting viewers in England who tuned into the nightly news experienced a Southern Television broadcast interruption by a ‘voice from space.’ To this day, no one knows for certain who was behind the interruption.
Southern Television Broadcast Interruption a Hoax?
On this particular Saturday evening, unbeknownst to those working at an independent television station in Southern England, thousands of viewers were subjected to a six-minute message from an entity referring to itself as Vrillon of the Ashtar Galactic Command.
During the broadcast, Vrillon warned his unassuming audience of the dangers humans were getting themselves into by using weapons of mass destruction. Vrillon also confirmed the UFO phenomenon and his race’s presence “seen as lights in the skies.” Vrillon warned humanity to be wary of false prophets and the evils of money, before imploring his audience to live in harmony and put down its weapons.
The transmission returned to the evening’s normally scheduled programming of Looney Tunes before viewers were assured by news broadcaster, Andrew Gardner, that everything was alright and that it was simply a hoax. But some began to panic, frantically phoning the station under the assumption that the apocalypse was upon them, despite Ashtar Command’s seemingly peaceful dispatch.
News stations distorted the story, reporting different names and versions of Vrillon’s message. This added to the confusion creating a War of the Worlds-type anxiety among those who couldn’t fathom the possibility of a hoax. Adding to the conspiracy is the fact that the culprit of the transmission has still never been discovered.
Many believed the broadcast to be the doing of the Raëlian community, the UFO church founded just four years earlier by Claude Vorilhon, whose name sounds and looks uncannily similar to the Ashtar Commander, Vrillon. Was the name Vrillon just a misconstrued pronunciation of Vorilhon?
The Southern Television broadcast is often compared to the Max Headroom Chicago broadcast interruption of 1987 or the Captain Midnight HBO interruption a year earlier. Though the culprit in the latter case turned out to be a disgruntled employee.
The particular broadcasting system that was being used by the Southern Television station was unusual in that it bounced one signal to another transmitter on the Isle of Wight, rather than using a direct landline like most television transmitters at the time. This allowed the signal to be interfered with, though it would take someone well-versed in the technology to intercept and interrupt it.
What is strange about the Ashtar Command broadcast is that not everyone heard the name “Vrillon” that night. Some say they heard the name “Asteron,” some heard “Gillon,” and others heard “Bramaha.” Adding to the intrigue is the fact that the only audio or video evidence of the message is a reenactment.
