Grey Aliens: what are they? what do they want?

Those who study extraterrestrials are analyzing the existence of the Grays, a race of aliens that is beginning to be known

By Ninfa GaleanoPublished 11 months ago 3 min read

Grey aliens, also known as Zeta Reticulans, Roswell Greys, or simply Greys, are purported extraterrestrial beings frequently associated with alien abduction claims and close encounters. They have become an archetypal image of intelligent non-human creatures and a popular trope in culture.

The Greys' exact planetary origin is widely believed to be Zeta Reticuli, a binary star system.

Some believe several Grey species exist, possibly originating from different points in the galaxy, such as the Orion system. Another hypothesis suggests they are a future evolution of humans who overused cloning and genetic manipulation, leading them to harvest human tissues and possibly create a human-alien hybrid to refresh their DNA.

Greys are typically described as diminutive, humanoid beings with grey skin. Their height generally ranges from 3.5 to 6 feet.They have large, black, almond-shaped eyes without pupils or irises. Other common features include enlarged, hairless heads, and reduced or absent external human body parts like noses, ears, or sex organs. Their mouths, ears, and noses are often described as nearly nonexistent.Their bodies are elongated with a small chest, lacking muscular definition and visible skeletal structure.

Greys are believed to be sexless beings who reproduce through cloning technology. Some believe smaller Greys are controlled by a hive mind, also known as swarm intelligence.These aliens are thought to be fourth-density beings who can communicate telepathically and employ mind control. They often travel in saucer-shaped, triangular, or spherical crafts.

What do they want?

The intentions of Greys toward Earth and humans remain a mystery. Many believe they are conducting a long-term experiment involving the genetic makeup of humans, abducting individuals for tests and attempting to erase their memories.Some abductees report positive, emotional connections with Greys, while others view humans as mere test subjects.

It is believed that they hold allegiance with other alien species, possibly as equals or as a slave class. Encounters have been reported where Greys work with Reptilian aliens or assist Nordic aliens.

Grey aliens are believed to 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. Encounters with Grey aliens account for 43% of extraterrestrial beings sighted, and are commonly reported among government whistleblowers and abductees alike.

Some abductees report a positive and emotional connection during their abductions, while others view humans as simple test subjects. During mental procedures, the eyes are often a focus of abduction claims, with abductees describing a Grey staring into their eyes. This staring is claimed to induce hallucinogenic states or directly provoke different emotions.

Getting to know them a little more

The existence of the Greys is relatively new, therefore these aliens are being studied intensively to understand them better.

The TV show Resident Alien portrays various alien species, with nearly all possessing shapeshifting abilities, except for the Greys. In the show, the Greys' goal is to transform Earth's atmosphere to make it suitable for their survival, using Grey/human hybrids as operatives to aid in their surveillance and domination.

If alien life is artificially intelligent, their desires may differ from humans, as humans have evolved to be an expansionist species. However, it's not necessarily the case that all alien species would be aggressive; they may simply be more contemplative.

Grey aliens are often involved in alien abduction claims. Abduction claims are often described as extremely traumatic, similar to an abduction by humans or even a sexual assault in the level of trauma and distress.

Some theories suggest Greys come to Earth as explorers and researchers, capable of manipulating space and time due to their advanced technology. They are believed to be looking for a specific type of genetic code within humans, possibly related to telepathy or superpowers, to help humans advance into the space community. These aliens may also be conducting long-term experiments involving human genetics, abducting individuals for tests, and creating human-alien hybrids.

One theory claims Greys are dedicated to developing souls, not just human souls, and work with human-extraterrestrial hybrids in this process. They may be tweaking the behavior of individuals to avoid undesirable outcomes or cause desirable ones, possibly through implants.
