Grey aliens, also referred to as Zeta Reticulans, Roswell Greys or
Grays, are purported extraterrestrial beings. They are frequent
subjects of close encounters and alien abduction claims.
The details of such claims vary widely, however Greys are typically
described as being human-like with small bodies, smooth, grey-colored
skin; enlarged, hairless heads; and large, black eyes.
The Barney and Betty Hill abduction claim, which purportedly took place
in New Hampshire in 1961, popularized Grey aliens. Precursor figures
have been described in science fiction and similar descriptions appeared
in early accounts of the 1948 Aztec UFO hoax and later accounts of the
1947 Roswell UFO incident.
