Greys are the type of intelligent extraterrestrial life that appears most commonly in modern conspiracy theories, particularly UFO conspiracy theories and other UFO-related paranormal phenomena. They also appear in some science fiction and in the mythos of the Raelian movement.

Greys are generally described as short, slender humanoids with hairless grey skin (hence the name) and large heads with enormous black almond-shaped eyes and small (often lipless) mouths. It is interesting to note that this description resembles a neotenous human, i.e., a human with infant-like features. Greys made their first significant fictional appearance in the 1977 motion picture Close Encounters of the Third Kind, wherein the director, Steven Spielberg, used childlike aliens as a creative metaphor. Perhaps most notably in recent years Greys were featured prominantly on the TV series The X Files as a part of the central conspiracy of the series. Greys also make appearences (in one form or another) in the movies Men in Black, Independence Day, Signs and in television shows such as Babylon 5.

Xenu, the galactic ruler of Scientology mythology, is often depicted by critics of Scientology as a grey alien, although the Church of Scientology has never done so.


Harvard Medical School professor Dr. John Mack claims that many of his clients have had encounters with the greys. His books Abduction and Passport to the Cosmos describe his patient's spiritual transformations and awakening of higher consciousness as a result of their experiences. Grey were also the extraterrestrials described in Whitley Strieber's book Communion about his abduction experiences.

Greys appear to have replaced the notion of "little green men" as the stereotypical extraterrestrial.
