Nordic aliens (Aryan aliens) (Space Brothers) are, according to various alien conspiracy theories, a group of purported humanoid extraterrestrials. They are so named because they are said to resemble Nordic/Scandinavian, or "Aryan" racial images.[1]
Nordic aliens form a notable part of UFO/abduction belief and the contactee movement in European and Latin American nations, but are not commonly found in accounts from the US.[2][3] Owing to the writings of self-professed Ufologist and contactee Billy Meier, they are sometimes known as Pleiadeans or Errans, and are said to be from the Pleiades star cluster in the constellation of Taurus,[4] although they have been known by other names, and were originally said to come from Venus or other planets within the Solar System because of the claims of George Adamski.
Appearance
Nordic aliens are said to be extremely human-like in appearance, with pale white skin, colorless lips, and hair that is either light blond or white.[5] Some accounts describe them as having "remarkable"[6] (sometimes pale[5]) blue eyes,[6] although they have also been described as having pink,[6] red, yellow, green, or violet eyes. Some cases have the eyes as somewhat resembling those of Greys', large and slanted, or being completely dark, lacking irises and sclerae.[6] Most accounts say that they are tall; either 6–8 ft tall or 18–24[7] ft tall, statuesque, and attractive.[citation needed] It is more common for them to be reported as being male than female.[1][3][8]
Geographic divide
While Greys make up 75 percent of all reported alien encounters in the US they appear in fewer than 20 percent of European reports. Something similar to European reports occurs regarding abductions in Latin America. As such, Europeans and Latin Americans are several times more likely to report encountering a Nordic alien than a Grey. The European nation with the highest proportion of reported encounters with Nordic aliens is the United Kingdom.[2][3][9]
Speaking during their 1994 convention in Washington, Committee for Skeptical Inquiry representatives noted that British contact reports typically spoke of Nordic aliens, and did not include Greys in any number until 1987, when Whitley Strieber's novel Communion became a best seller there.[9]
Contactees
George Adamski
George Adamski was one of the first contactees to report a description of UFO occupants. On 20 November 1952 he reportedly met and spoke with a being called Orthon, after seeing a UFO in Arizona. Adamski described him as looking human, with long, wavy, blond hair, and that "the beauty of his form surpassed anything I had ever seen". However, Orthon was not entirely human in appearance, having slightly slanted eyes. According to Adamski, Orthon said that he was from Venus.[10]
Billy Meier
Beginning in 1975, Billy Meier allegedly began his official contacts ("official" in that evidence was to be provided publicly, unlike earlier contacts), communicating both directly (face-to-face) and by telepathy with a core group of Nordic aliens called the Pleiadeans/Plejaren, or Errans as he also refers to them (Erra being their home planet), who gave their names as Ptaah, Semjase, Quetzal, and Pleija, among numerous others. According to Meier himself in the video documentary 'Contact', he says that his first contact with extraterrestrials began on January 28, 1975.[11]
Howard Menger
Howard Menger also claimed to have met Nordic aliens although his statements are controversial, as he retracted his story - then recanted his retraction.[12] Orfeo Angelucci and Elizabeth Klarer also described similar beings in their contact stories.
Michael E. Salla
In an interview with The Washington Post, Michael E. Salla suggested the possibility that in February 1954, at Edwards Air Force Base, United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower had met with some Nordics in an attempt to formulate an agreement over technology exchange, and the elimination of the American nuclear arsenal.[5]
Cynthia Appleton
British contactees included Cynthia Appleton in the late 1950s. It seems to be a popular and oft repeated notion that her baby was "fathered" by a Venusian visitor. However, according to her story, the Venusian visitor simply predicted her impregnation. Contemporary news stories in the popular British press are responsible for the wild claims of "alien impregnation". Unfortunately, Andy Roberts' article sited below also perpetuates this bit of journalistic sensationalism which is not supported by the details of the story he relates. Mollie Thompson, a few years later, also claimed a meeting with blond Venusians, and was sufficiently inspired by the experience to record several songs about it.[13]
In religion
Guardian angels
Some ufologists have speculated that encounters with Nordics are actually with guardian angels rather than with a species of biological extraterrestrials.[14]
Industrial Church of the New World Comforter
The Industrial Church of the New World Comforter is a UFO religion founded in 1973 by Allen Michael.
In 1947, Allen Noonan was a pictorial sign painter in Long Beach, California who that year claimed to have a telepathic encounter with a UFO. He then changed his name from Allen Noonan to Allen Michael. He claims to have physically encountered a flying saucer manned by Nordic aliens in 1954 at Giant Rock in the Mojave Desert of California.
Tempelhofgesellschaft
There is a Gnostic religion called the Tempelhofgesellschaft founded in the early 1990s in Vienna, Austria that distributes pamphlets claiming that the Aryan race originally came to Atlantis from the star Aldebaran (this information is supposedly based on "ancient Sumerian manuscripts"). The Tempelhofgesellschaft maintains that the Aryans from Aldebaran derive their power from the vril energy of the Black Sun. They teach that since the Aryan race is of extraterrestrial origin, it has a divine mission to dominate all the other races. It is believed by adherents of this religion that an enormous space fleet is on its way to Earth from Aldebaran which, when it arrives, will join forces with the Nazi Flying Saucers from Antarctica to establish the Western Imperium.[15] (Scientific note: Aldebaran is a Red Giant star and main sequence stars are more likely to be life sustaining.)
Theosophy
Theosophist metaphysical author and lecturer Benjamin Creme subscribes to the view that the Nordics pilot flying saucers from a civilization on Venus that exists on the etheric plane and are capable of stepping down the level of vibration of themselves and their craft to the slower level of vibration of the atoms of the physical plane (Creme accepts George Adamski's UFO sightings as valid).[16] It is also believed by Theosophists that the governing deity of Earth, Sanat Kumara, is one of these Nordic aliens who originally came from Venus 18,500,000 years ago.[17]
In popular Culture
In most Super Hero Movies[which?], Nordic humans have super powers and help aliens on Earth.
