STANDARD GREY (TYPE I ENTITY)

“Originates from Zeta 1 & Zeta 2 Reticuli binary star system in the constellation Reticulum (39.2 light-years from Earth), as identified on Betty Hill’s 3D holographic star map analyzed by Marjorie Fish.”

“3.5ft to 5ft tall with enlarged basketball-shaped cranial structure, aluminum-gray skin, hairless, large slanted wraparound gecko-like eyes with protective nictitating membrane, broad flat nose, thin slit mouth with fluttering secondary palate membrane, 4 to 5 webbed/fused fingers without fingernails, barrel chest, and rolling sea-legs gait.”

“1954 French Humanoid Wave & Physical Landing Traces: Over 250 close encounters in autumn 1954 (including Marius Dewilde at Valenciennes) documented 3.5ft helmeted beings, orange light-beam paralysis, and 30-ton weight depression marks on railroad ties.”

“In Thomas E. Bullard's “Abduction Phenomenon” entry, the predominant humanoid report type is described as short, hairless and gray-skinned, with a bulging cranium, narrow jaw, very large elongated eyes, a slit mouth, vestigial nose and ears, a thin or frail build, and hands often described with fewer than five digits.”

“Under hypnosis in 1977, Betty Andreasson described five approximately four-foot gray-skinned humanoids with oversized heads, large slanted wraparound eyes, holes for nose and ears, slit-like mouths, and gloved three-digit hands; one leader was slightly taller.”

“In a cattle-mutilation account explicitly described as occurring while the witness was apparently in an out-of-body state, Clark reports two short gray-skinned figures with large eyes and enlarged heads.”

“Clark includes a 1991 Palmarejo report of two three-to-four-foot gray beings with large heads, large black eyes, an almost imperceptible nose and a narrow slit-like mouth.”

“Before hypnosis, the witnesses said they could see two short figures inside the transparent dome with enlarged heads, oversized oval eyes and small mouths, wearing gray or silver uniforms.”

“Under hypnosis Hermann described three humanoids not quite five feet tall with large hairless heads, oversized dark eyes that rarely blinked, pale skin, small mouths and slit-like noses; Clark later characterizes the overall contact story as dubious.”

“Mack writes that by far the most common entities reported in his cases were small "grays," generally three to four feet tall, with large pear-shaped heads, long arms, thin torsos and legs, little or no visible external ears, rudimentary nostrils, a slitlike mouth, and very large black eyes.”

“60–80ft flattened circular disc craft featuring double row of illuminated windows, telescoping V-shaped side fins with red lights, immobilizing gaze frequency, and code-like electronic beeping/buzzing tones leaving magnetized spots on vehicle steel.”

“Holographic telepathy and mental immobilization capable of inducing dissociative amnesia and post-hypnotic suggestion while communicating in humming/buzzing vocal tones.”

“Mack reports that experiencers commonly described communication with the beings as telepathic or mind-to-mind, without a learned spoken language.”

“Bullard states that the recurrent short/standard Grey-type humanoids in abduction reports range from approximately two and a half to five feet tall.”

“Across the abduction reports summarized by Bullard, Grey-type entities are commonly described as communicating telepathically; movement may be by gliding, floating or levitation, and their treatment of captives is more often characterized as cold and businesslike than warm.”

“In Andreasson's hypnosis-derived account, the humanoids addressed her telepathically, appeared comparatively friendly, moved by floating or a suction-like motion, and followed a slightly taller leader called “Quazgaa.””

“The same altered-state Doraty narrative says the two gray figures were seen cutting a calf and communicating in unusually fast, nasal, sing-song speech.”

“Hermann said the leader addressed him in apparently perfect English while its mouth did not move; this detail comes from a hypnosis-derived narrative Clark says became generally viewed as dubious.”

“Bullard says the standard short Grey-type humanoid is usually reported wearing a coverall or one-piece jumpsuit, often so skin-tight that the entity may appear nearly nude.”

“Hermann’s hypnosis-derived figures were described as wearing red suits.”

“Mack distinguishes smaller drone- or insectlike workers from a somewhat taller leader or "doctor" type. The workers are described as moving or gliding robotically and performing tasks, while the leader is described as directing procedures.”

“Chapter 16 repeats the pattern of varying numbers of beings acting in a businesslike way while preparing and carrying out procedures aboard reported craft.”

“The revised paperback preface states that Mack altered language to make clear he was reporting experiences as told to him and was not presuming that everything the experiencers said was literally true.”

“Thornton describes the commonly reported Gray morphology as small humanoid forms with pale gray skin and large black eyes.”
