Is it a spoof?
I have a vague memory that the shape of 'grey' was actually created by Californian underground artists in about 1968 — as a spoof. Any comments? Harjasusi (talk) 20:01, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
- I haven't heard of that idea, but all the sources I've read imply that it's derived from the alien in the movie about the Betty and Barney Hill case. Abyssal (talk) 14:21, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
What about that demonic man named Aliester Crowley who drew a picture of a space Alien that he said he was in comunication with? This predates anything above. http://www.boudillion.com/lam/lam.htm

Quatermas
Wasn't it the 1958 BBC serial "Quatermas and the Pit" which introduced to a much wider audience the idea of primitive humans removed from the Earth to be selectively bred to increase their intelligence?AT Kunene (talk) 09:44, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
Greys are the Nephilim decendents
This info needs to be added to the article. They are the decendents of hybrid offspring of human's and angels who made bodies for themselves before the flood in an effort to lift man up from their fall in defience of God but these hybrids kept growing into giants called Nephilim and consumed the flesh of animals and men to feed their growing bodies. See book of Enoch. There was advanced technology before the Biblical flood and the angels returned to heaven as spirits but the Nephilim unable to do this spiritual transformation made space craft for themselves and went into space where the radiation from space weakened their DNA and so therefore their bodies appear as they do today instead of the close to God like beings of the Nephilim. They now appear mutated and demonic to radiation in space, eating the flesh of human children and alienation from God. They give the USA Government advanced technology and the USA Government keeps them secret and feeds their blood lust. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.81.134.236 (talk) 16:36, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- Do you have a source for that? The Book of Enoch is not a reliable source, it needs to be something more modern and not a religious work.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 21:25, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- It sounds like an opinion that the Book of Enoch is a "religious work" (only??). It's an assumption and opinion that a book containing religious concepts isn't a reliable source. What: only totally non-religious books or non-religious people are reliable?? It's a further assumption that modernity is so preferable regarding sources that ancient texts can't really count as sources. It's likely an opinion that the Book of Enoch isn't a "reliable" source. It's an assumption that skepticism is a better belief system than believ-ism. But I too would love to see sources for those statements about hybrid offspring. Misty MH (talk) 07:06, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
Back in the 1990s Dan Rather of CBS reported on this and made this connection to the time before the flood and called the "Aliens" the product of the union between man and angel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.81.134.236 (talk) 22:47, 24 April 2012 (UTC) This was on the CBS evening news. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.81.134.236 (talk) 02:49, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
bad picture
hey i think the cartoon picture of the grey diminishes the article by making it look unrealistic, so i we will have to find another one. moreover, i do not think greys are sexless because the have been reported to have a male or female feel when thet communicate — Preceding unsigned comment added by Knowledge spouse (talk • contribs) 03:47, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- Find us a photo and we'll see what we can do. Sophie means wisdom (talk) 07:40, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
A trio
During the Medieval period it was Succubus and Incubus, now its the Greys. Whatever next?AT Kunene (talk) 14:24, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
- If we really wish to be subversive, we could call it the Dark Ages. What makes you think there weren't Incubi and Succubi? But to be fair: Grays are a term used because of their typical color. Succubus and Incubus are defined terms that someone used to hypothesize what these apparitions were. If we're going to be logical and parallel (and sound ever so wisely skeptical), we need to say "During the Dark ages, it was Succubi and Incubi; now it's "aliens". What's next??" Now, other than that skeptical "question", I am intrigued by the title "A trio". What is that in reference to? Or dare I ask? Misty MH (talk) 06:50, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
