Soon after the main witness and some friends were illuminated by an unknown shaft of orange light coming from the sky while walking back from the movies, the main witness remembered waking up at night finding his bedroom filled with a subdued light and four or five little figures with big heads and eyes looking at him. The figures appeared to be light blue or green gray in color. The figures then would move around and touched him. One night he recalled seeing the little men and a white light would appear at the door accompanied by a tall man (he could not see his features) that appeared to be in charge of the little humanoids. He never felt any fear during the encounters.

Mr. Robert Hall. Behind this shield they saw a little under twenty aliens of varying shapes and sizes gathered around a small craft. Most of the creatures were “horrible looking” short grey type aliens, but there was also another creature present who Robert describes as looking like Bigfoot. Another creature had a strange sort of diving helmet on, similar to deep sea divers of the day.
Praying mantis-creature encountered around noon time by David Huggins at Georgia farm when he was eight in 1950. He associated entity with small, grey beings, which David thought were androids programmed to do work for the praying mantis and tall humanoids.
Sarah Shaw & Jan Whitley. Most of the beings were 5-feet tall and most of these had oval heads. Some had heads wider at the bottom that at the top and were apparently female. Two taller beings appeared to be the leaders...In a large domed room both women were then extensively examined and scanned. Throughout the examination a tall being directed the work from a balcony-like extension on a wall. He wore a light colored suit with black stripes and his hands were bare, showing gray flesh.
5-year old Laszlo Bako was alone playing near a railway bed when he suddenly began to feel strange and noticed a strange little man approaching him. The man was described as human-like, but with a head a little bigger than normal. The being’s body was very smooth and gray colored, and apparently wore no clothing. He was as tall as the witness. The being approached to about 1 meter away from the witness and stopped, he then smiled at Laszlo, who felt a friendly feeling coming from the little man. The being made several motions with his hands while at the same time communicating telepathically with Laszlo. After about 1 minute the little man turned away, walked for about 5 meters then vanished in plain sight.
Patrolman Herbert Schirmer. The entities had slightly slanted “catlike” eyes (that didn’t blink), gray-white skin, long and thin heads, with flat noses and slitlike mouths.

Denis McMahon. And grayish, plastic-looking skin. Remembered details after hearing Bud Hopkins on a radio show.
12-year old Frank was watching television in his upstairs bedroom with his back to the double window. Suddenly he felt the strongest sensation of someone watching him from behind. When he turned around, he got the shock of his life. He saw standing on the roof of the house directly next door and to the left of his own---a gray alien peering from the opposite side of the roof at him through the double windows. He described the creature as having an oversized head and wrap-around big black eyes, no nose and possibly "vents" or slashes where the mouth would have been. The creature and Frank stared at one another for about 5 seconds before the alien "scampered" down the roof on the opposite side of it. The source mentions that possibly the year before in the same neighborhood another 10-year old child was playing outside with friends between his house and the house next door when he saw a gray up on top of the neighbor's rooftop. When he noticed it---he watched in awe and shock as he noticed each one of his friends had been frozen in suspended animation. Just then the witness saw the alien "float like a feather" down towards the ground in front of him. At the very moment when it would have hit the ground, it simply disappeared in front of his eyes. In looking at his friends he noticed that they were now unfrozen and went about their playing unaware that anything had ever occurred. None of his other friends saw this take place.
Six grayish humanoids, faces obscured, standing by roadside near long silvery object; one held up hand as motorist approached.

Lyndia Morel. The rounded head was grayish (between gray and flesh tone), except for a darker color on top, and the face bore wrinkles or loose skin like an elephant's hide. Angling upward across the forehead, two large "egg-shaped" eyes with large dark pupils...
The shorter entity wore an outfit with horizontal rings around the torso and a round helmet with a large, circular face plate showing a pear shaped, grayish head with no hair, round "marble like" eyes, a rudimentary nose, and a slit like lipless mouth.
Three small beings, gray skin, clawed hands descended from disc-shaped craft with four legs atop hospital, made squeaky vocal sounds, saw witness, reentered craft and took off.
John Velez. I've seen three different types. The small gray ones. They're about three to three and a half feet tall. They have like an upside down pear shaped head, with a pointy chin; large black eyes that wrap around the sides of the head; and very thin bodies,arms like Gumbies, they look like rubbery things. It's not joints kind of like we have. And just very, very thin.

Under hypnosis, he recalled that he re-opened his eyes and saw four, short, gray-skinned figures moving through the bright light towards him.
A deputy sheriff on routine patrol had stopped to rest and was standing next to his police vehicle when he noticed a large black triangular shaped craft hovering at an angle about 200 feet away. The craft had large windows on its side and five humanoid figures could be seen standing inside from the waist up. The beings were gray colored with large heads, slim necks and slim bodies. No other features could be seen. As the witness stood watching in amazement he apparently received a telepathic message, "Why do you hate the Iranians?" it asked. He thought to himself that he did not hate anybody. At that moment one of the figures turned and faced the others, as this happened the object suddenly shot up and disappeared at high speed.
Peter Khoury. On the left side of the bed I noticed 2 beings that looked so different from the others. These two beings were thin, tall with big black eyes and narrow chins, they had two holes for a nose and a thin slit for a mouth. They were goldish yellow in colour.
A man saw a strange being standing at the foot of his bed staring at him. He described the being as thin with a very prominent chin, slit-like mouth, two small holes for a nose and huge black oval shaped slanted eyes that were partly covered by triangular shaped sunglasses. The being was wearing a dark suit with a large broad-brimmed hat,
Looking out the window, Ludmila Sadovskaia saw a strange creature with glowing eyes. Its face was a greenish gray and it had no nose and only a slit for a mouth.
The being was a thin humanoid with a large head and large dark almond shaped eyes, his skin was gray color and appeared to have a slight glow to it. It had long thin arms, and stood motionless looking at the witness.
The being was gray in color and about 6-feet tall.... The witness remembers seeing the other witness on the floor, as if frozen apparently being guarded by a short gray humanoid.

This were described as being about 3.5 to 4-feet tall, with a grayish smooth complexion, their heads were in extreme proportion to their bodies with slanting eyes and thin arms, and at no time did these communicate. Within 50 minutes an USAF Sikorsky chopper arrived and lifted the object away.

"Greys" have gained status as the garden-variety alien in abduction lore. And while 38 subjects in the study have encountered grey (or grey-white) skinned entities, another 19 describe the abductors as absolutely "white" (not to be confused with Caucasian). In one case, the subject was emphatic by stating "Clorox white." Neither greyish nor whitish aliens dominate the study's files, though. Dark-skinned entities were seen in 18 cases; blue or grey-blue in eight; and green or grey-green in seven. Beings with an aura (or "glow") obscuring the actual exterior were present in 13 cases. And five subjects reported a "shadow-like" entity that might not even be tangible. Table 3 is a breakdown of entity skin tones. Certain qualities associated with an entity's skin have been reported in significant numbers. In six cases, the epidermis was said to be "translucent" or "thin" and the underlying dermis (sometimes described as a grey gel) thereby visible. This might account for some confusion here and there as to whether a given entity was "white" or "grey" toned. In 17 cases, the subject reported a "smooth," "plastic," "vinyl" or "shiny" skin. This was usually attributed to the diminutive"worker bee" types rather than to the taller one(s) in charge. Fifteen subjects mentioned seeing one or more entities who were prominently wrinkled. These were sometimes referred to as "old ones" and thought to be important figures. Thirteen persons mentioned that a being's touch (of- ten as part of examining procedures) was cool or cold, thereby prompting questions of whether such types are warm-blooded by our standards.
Two adults reported seeing strange lights and then experienced a period of missing time. Under hypnosis an abduction scenario was revealed. They were apparently taken onboard an object. Inside, a medical examination ensued. Unusual after effects were noted. Later under hypnotic regression the witnesses recalled being paralyzed inside their vehicle and seeing two humanoids, described as tall, gray in color, with small ears, large black eyes, two dots for a nose, a small mouth, with no lips, that entered their vehicle and undid their seat belts then carried them outside the car. Two shorter humanoids arrived and carried the children from the back seat of the vehicle. One of the witnesses recalled a tall gray humanoid using something resembling a silver staple gun that was pressed against her neck. Another witness remembered flying inside an object and seeing tall buildings with domed ceilings that had strange patterns of top. The witnesses reported another type of humanoid described as tall with a wrinkled appearance. This being inserted some type of rod-like instrument into their eyes.
