This is the most commonly identified alien race in UFOlogy and the
most commonly described race by abduction victims. There are many
different views, stories and theories regarding them ranging from the
different New Age views to the different Scientific and conspiracy
views.

Aka: Grays, EBE, Little Green Men

Description
The most widely reported type of alien is a small grey being
approximately 1.0m-1.25m in height, with large oval black eyes and
skin colors ranging from gray-white to grey-brown to gray-green to
grey-blue. Erect standing biped, small thin build, large and rounded
rear skull area, head larger than humans with inverted triangular
shape, absence of auditory lobes and nose, absence of body hair,
large oval tear-shaped eyes which are opaque black with vertical slit
pupils, arms resembling praying mantis which reach to the knees, long
hands with small palm, claw-like fingers (two, three or four
fingers), tough gray skin which is reptilian in texture, small feet
with four small claw-like toes, no genitalia visible

Home System
Zeta Reticuli 1 & 2, a binary star system visible from the Southern
Hemisphere approximately 38 light years away with a spectral class of
G2,
identical to our Sun.

Powers
Because of the cloning, their genetic sequence degrades after each
cloning of a clone, thus leading to the reason for the abduction of
Terran humans, as a method of repairing the damage in their own DNA
(or other genetic material), as well as adding new sequences to the
cloning gene pool. This evidence leads to the hypothesis that the
Greys use a kind of ultrasonic sound beam in conjunction with
telepathy to paralyze an abductees during an abduction.

Attitude
The nature of the Greys, especially the Zeta Reticuli and the short
Greys, is that they do not have deep emotional feelings or
compassion. They are, in fact, extremely curious about all aspects of
existence, highly analytical and devoid of sentimentality. They look
at humans much the same way a farmer looks at his cows, as an
inferior species. They understand the passions and compassion of
humans to the degree it is observable by them but do not their
feelings. The Greys are not masters of their own fate. They are,
rather, subservient to a reptilian race . In their desire to retain
that freedom from their reptilian masters, they would hope to play
the role of being masters here on earth, or at least having enough
control so as to be safe from slavery by any other species. The Zetas
desire the help of humans in an expected future confrontation with
the reptilian masters who are expected to follow soon, within the
next 20 years. This refers to the so-called asteroid that is on its
way toward earth. It is housing millions of reptilian aliens. It has,
however, temporarily diverted its path as it moves into the
constellation of Draco.

Origin
The Greys evolved naturally from a cetacean-like life form on another
world or were artificially modified though genetic engineering by an
outside species or themselves. They have evolved beyond the sexual
reproduction process so that all sexual organs and their digestive
tracts have totally atrophied. They are no longer capable of eating
or indulging in sexual activities. Because of these manipulations,
cloning, became their only form of reproduction.

A simple explanation for the origins of the Greys would be and
evolutionary process similar to that of humans, but from a cetacean
ancestor as opposed to a primate ancestor. At one point, instead of
returning to the oceans, or perhaps leaving the oceans, cetacean
simply evolved as a land-dweller, while retaining the vestigial
features of the fish.Some time later, the Greys either had a large
accident or other event that severely degenerated its genetic pool,
or decided that the random genetic mixing of sexual reproduction was
inadequate for their society, and embarked on cloning as a means to
overcome their problem. After a period of time, the knowledge of
advanced genetics, as well as the technology needed to created more
advanced versions of their genetic machines were somehow lost, and
the result is a society that depends on its machines for
speciessurvival, but who cannot recreate the technology.

Another of the theories possible begins with a cetacean life form
evolved on another planet. Unlike Terran cetaceans, they did not
return to the oceans, but were discovered and later altered and
cloned by another species. This species (called the Masters), needed
a source of slave labor, and thus searched for an intelligent lesser
species that they could genetically manipulate in order to be used
effectively.Arbitrarily assuming that this period of time was about
one million years ago, the most evolved species at that time on Terra
would have been dolphins and whales. This might also have been
possible on another planet, where a similar species evolved instead
of a primate-like organism. Under this theory, the cetacean ancestors
of the Greys were taken and genetically altered into an upright,
bipedal species capable of doing labor for the Masters. After a time,
however, the Greys apparently rebelled, and are now on their own,
using the technology of the Masters, but since they were created to
simply operate them, and not to design them, their knowledge of the
technology's operation is lacking.

This theory would explain the lack of knowledge of genetics that the
Greys seem to suffer from, and why they can't simply make their own
genetic code artificially more diverse. They are able to manipulate
the technology, and use it to their advantage, but are unable to
understand the actual theoretical aspects and operations behind the
use of their equipment, thus resulting in a need for abduction of
humans.

Biology
Various descriptions taken from dissections and abductees reports
relate the following characteristics: a non-functioning digestive
system; absence of reproduction organs; two separate brains; movement
is deliberate, slow and precise; alien subsistence requires that they
must have human blood and other biological substances to survive.

The two separate brains are separated by mid-cranial lateral bone
without any apparent connection. Some autopsies have revealed a
crystalline network which is thought to have a function in telepathic
which help to maintain the group-consciousness between members of the
same species. Even without sexual organs, the Greys seem to have
gender, and are not simply neuter. The genders, however, appear to be
completely determined by the mind, with the bodies being identical
almost identical. Abductees report that some Greys 'feel' or 'seem'
feminine, while others are very masculine. This seems to point to a
time of sex differentiation, which was bred out physically, leaving
only the mental pattern to demonstrate the differences between males
and females in the Grey social infrastructure. It should also be
noted that female Greys are very rarely seen, and are reported to be
sterile and incapable of giving birth to offspring. The males are the
ones most commonly observed, and simple deduction will show that
there is one scenario possible: the Grey females are few in number,
and must be isolated for some reason, perhaps to prevent their loss
or for genetic repositories. Nevertheless, because Greys cannot breed
naturally, due to a lack of sexual organs, artificial methods must be
incorporated into their society on a massive, if not simply large,
scale to prevent their demise as a species.

The Greys consume nourishment through a process of absorption through
their skin. The process, according to abductees who have witnessed
it, involved spreading a biological 'liquid protein' formula that has
been mixed with hydrogen peroxide [which oxygenates the slurry and
eliminates bacteria] onto their skin. Food is converted to energy by
chlorophyll by a photosynthetic process. To eliminate, they need to
pass the substance through some part of their body, much the same way
plants eliminate through their skin or outer shells. They use
hydrogen peroxide for helping with that elimination as well. Waste
products are then excreted back through the skin. Many abductees have
noted that the Greys have a distinct series of odors. The Zeta
Reticuli Greys feed upon glandular secretions of humans and are said
to abduct humans and extracting the secretions for themselves.

It is also said that Greys absorb certain substances from parts of
the cattle that stabilize them during the cloning process, mostly
substances that comes from certain mucus membranes: the lips, nose,
genitals and rectum, and also from certain organs.Aside from feeding
off of human and animal proteins and fluids, they also allegedly feed
off the 'life energy', the 'vital essence' or 'soul energy' of humans
as do other reptilian species in what may be considered a vampirial
type of hunger for human vital fluids.
