Grey Aliens, sometimes called Zeta Reticulans, Roswell Greys, or just Grays, are defined by their humanoid forms, long limbs, large black eyes, small noses, thin mouths, and of course, gray skin or gray clothing. They are some of pop culture’s most recognizable representations of extraterrestrial {101}. But where did this depiction of extraterrestrials come from, and why are Grays the ones mostly responsible for all the abductions?
Special thank you to Josef Lorenzo and the entire Subcultured team for the delightful conversation and invaluable contribution to this episode.
The world is full of monsters, myths, and legends and Monstrum isn’t afraid to take a closer look. The show, hosted by Emily Zarka, Ph.D., takes us on a journey to discover a new monster in each new episode. Monstrum looks at humans‘ unique drive to {50} and shape monster mythology through oral storytelling, literature, and film and digs deep into the history of those mythologies.

Those are the Asgards my friend. Thor's race.
What does this all mean?
Why do highly intelligent creatures have such moronic faces?
Sorry, not for me. Seen all of this before and it’s rehashing the same stuff. Good for newbie’s but not for me.
Not everything's a spectrum
✨be here now do no harm help others be still close eyes listen to your breathing✨
She said "Hill" instead of "Travis" just saying…10:04
It’s sounds like these are Jinns/demons as described in Quran.
First thing? Anal probe. 👽
This was excellent! I've always wondered where the image of the grays originated from as it is so widely accepted among people that have had experiences. The movie "No one will save you" is an amazing take on how they might look and communicate.
Aliens are definitely real, If they aren’t then demons or other dimensional beings must be real because I’ve seen them. I’ve seen one before and it nearly disappeared in front of me when I saw it, It looked humanoid but it ran faster than anything I’ve ever seen run and literally disappeared like it was a Cheetah running at top speed.
Most people won’t believe that and I don’t blame them. I can hardly believe it myself and I saw it , There’s some truly weird things out there 👀 👽
Keep in mind, Wiki "context" assumes people are ignorant of words therefore, telling you what to believe as Abduction is a statement not opinion in the courts logically, not mere wiki controled consensus "Fake Checkets" like FB was banned by congress interfering in last election
..because people don't dream in color..
They're biological AI, so is that
I want to know about the "Greys Anatomy" . LOL
To be honest I do not want to see an extraterrestrial. A hovering craft.. fine.. but not an extraterrestrial. Ai'nt nobody got time forr that. LOL
I'll stop.
I picture human-sized pepperpots, each with a plunger appendage and a death ray, an eyestalk that moves with a rotating dome head, hellbent on destroying every last living being that is not them, screeching their infamous war cry in a high-pitched electronic voice.
obviously, i'm here for the spooky, but i'm glad i stick around for the outro/bloopers. <3

Why is nobody talking about our government agencies stating under oath that they have aliens in their possession and their craft is being reverse engineered… Why do they have an alien craft on their "intelligence agency" logo? Why do they have greys faces plastered over the $100 bill when looked under a microscope?
Either they are imagining all of it, OR they are so beyond lying, they all need to be imprisoned for life.
Why is it always assumed that they are from another planet? Its MUCH more likely that they would be from THIS planet. Maybe some chameleon ability or something, or their eyes could have some ability to make you see something other than what you are actually seeing… Just thinking out of the box here. It is def possible.
ET VISITS
Entities from other star systems have been visiting Earth from the beginning of time. In fact, I believe Earth has been reseeded several times between extinctions to keep life going. For example the Permian Extinction wiped out 98% of all life on Earth right down to most bacteria. Evolution is too slow to account for the thirty-million or so plants and animals we now have on the planet. This should be humanities mandate—to reseed other planets between extinctions to keep intelligent or even semi-intelligent life going like us.
Many accounts of Alien visitations talk about little gray guys and the tall whites alleged to be from the Platies star cluster. This cluster of stars 444 light years distant emits high intensity blue UV light necessary to speed up evolution on any nearby planets. Given that practically every star system has planets orbiting them, the possibility of several planets existing in the habitable zone in this cluster of stars is greatly increased.
Marjorie Fish drew a map of this star cluster from the memory of a woman who saw it on a wall inside a flying saucer. Her map indicated that the occupants came from a star known as Zeta Reticuli. Zeta Reticuli, Latinized from ζ Reticuli, is a wide binary star system in the southern constellation of Reticulum. The two stars, Zeta 1 (ζ1) Reticuli and Zeta 2 (ζ2) Reticuli are located just over 39 light years from Earth and are separated from each other by a distance of at least 3,750 Astronomical Units (AU), where 1 AU is the average distance between Earth and the Sun.
The stars orbit a common center of gravity over a period that is likely more than 170,000 Earth years, and are thought to be between 1.5 and 3 billion years old. What makes these stars really interesting is that, relatively speaking, they are much like our own Sun, making them so-called solar analogs and of interest to astronomers who can compare them to our Solar System's host star.
Zeta 1 Reticuli has a mass equal to about 96% that of the Sun, and a radius about 92% of the Sun. It is a yellow main sequence star of class G3 with a magnitude or brightness of 5.52.
Zeta 2 is about 99% the mass and 99% the radius of the Sun. It is slightly brighter at magnitude 5.22 and is a yellow dwarf of class G2.
I wrote a book based on Zechariah Sitchin’s translations of ancient Sumerian Scrolls that talks about Enki arriving on Earth 400,000 years ago to find gold. The Anu came here is spaceships filled with water in a voyage that lasted eight years. This makes sense in some ways as water is an incompressible liquid. Occupants inside a spacecraft making swift maneuvers wouldn’t be subjected to such extreme G forces. Micro meteorites piercing the hull of the ship would be slowed down by the water inside and since space is cold the hole would seal itself almost instantly with ice.
I can’t imagine swimming around inside a spaceship filled with water for eight years. It must have been horrible even for aquatic beings. The ancient Greeks talked about the Oonays who came up out of the oceans and gave them technology.
Enki was able to communicate with his home planet via a device resembling the Ark of the Covenant filled with the white powder of gold in the high spin rate. His brother Enlil arrived several years after his brother along with a female of their species. They tried to extract gold from sea water but their system didn’t produce enough for their needs. Eventually they decided to seek out and mine the biggest gold deposit on Earth in South Africa. Gold in that area is still being mined today.
They needed workers to dig for gold and since the Anu were large in stature standing fifteen to twenty feet tall it was impractical for them to go underground. They needed smaller workers so they imported 25,000 Igigi from Sirius C. Gold mining began in earnest for the next two hundred thousand years. Enlil was a harsh taskmaster and starved to death five thousand of the Igigi before they decided to rebel and scattered in all directions.
Finally King Anu and several of his subjects from their home planet Nibiru arrived and brought Kingship to Earth. The book of Genesis talks about the Nephilim. Nephilim is a plural word. They were not Gods but advanced beings with the technology to modify DNA and clone all kinds of animals and people. Many different kinds of plants were genetically modified with lower alkaline content for food. We eat these same foods today. Many animals were cloned. Horses with human torsos, gargoyles, unicorns and even human like creatures with horns. I think the dragons were here all along.
It took a long time to create the perfect man. They used some of their own DNA and eggs from indigenous female hominids to create the creature better adapted to Earth’s rarified atmosphere and cold temperature. After hundreds of attempts they had a perfect man, Adam. Now they needed a female mate to perpetuate the species. They took a sample of one of Adam’s ribs to clone Eve a female that could reproduce.
After eating of the tree of good and evil, humans became sentient beings knowing right from wrong. After becoming aware that they were created to be slaves and held captive in the Garden of Eden they rebelled. Suddenly they knew they had certain unalienable human rights. They got tired of serving the god-like Nephilim and rebelled. The Bible says they were kicked out or banned from Eden.
Once outside the gates they suddenly realized that they had to work. Oh My God! They would starve to death or start hunting animals to eat like their indigenous brothers. Living in Eden had taught them how to plow the soil and plant seeds. Genesis quotes the Nephilim as saying: “Eventually mankind will become like us.” The rest is history…
Read: COSMOLOGICAL ICE AGES. http://www.HankKroll.com, http://www.Amazon.com and book stores around the world. Do a Google search on the title: COSMOLOGICAL ICE AGES. You will be amazed…
One explanation as to why they're so common is because THEY'RE REAL and people reporting encounters are reporting REAL EVENTS.
So….
South Park was right!
Highly doubtful that aliens would care or even noticed perceived human differences like skin tone..
There is no responsible claim here, just immature dangling of skepticism. What's PBSs position? You stand burdened to rule it out and you can't. So you dangle things like a child, dangly and boneless, spineless and vacuous. Ha ha green(grey) men, haha, i forgot to laugh. supposed to be a science show, skepticism-not-equal-to-science. It's one tool of scientific inquiry, but Findings are for the adults. You wanna be skeptical of UFOs? Get to work or your not doing science.
Per me i grigi sono dei ladri che rubano okkkio
People keep trying to ridicule the fact we have been visited by some other Intelligence, see this lady and the woke kid talking without a clue about what they talking about is disrespectful to everyone who have experienced some kind of encounter!!
We have long list of respectful people who affirm 100% what people keep calling a hoax..CALLING facts a HOAX AND tell everyone is crazy is same saying Gordon Cooper, Edgar Mitchell,Buz Aldrin one of first man in space are nuts!! They said it publicly "THEY EXIST" people just keep struggling to believe no matter how many prof exists they will always ridicule.. Universe is to big for life just evolve here in this planet, and for much we think we are the smarter race in the universe belive it or not we not that special as we think!!! there's others way smarter and advanced than we are..👽👽👽
July 8th. That's the day I got married. The Hills didn't come-to 56 kilometers away, they came-to 35 miles away. It was 1961. We hadn't been attacked and inundated by the metric system yet then. We still use miles in this country today. I still use standard measurements for everything, I refuse to be a metric monkey. I refuse to follow the herd.
