Reported Entity Behavior

HOW TO READ THIS
CLAIM-130003reported
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.
