Grey Aliens, sometimes called Zeta Reticulans, Roswell Greys, or just Grays, are defined by their humanoid forms, long limbs, large black eyes, small noses, thin mouths, and of course, gray skin or gray clothing. They are some of pop culture’s most recognizable representations of extraterrestrial life. But where did this depiction of extraterrestrials come from, and why are Grays the ones mostly responsible for all the abductions?
Special thank you to Josef Lorenzo and the entire Subcultured team for the delightful conversation and invaluable contribution to this episode.
The world is full of monsters, myths, and legends and Monstrum isn’t afraid to take a closer look. The show, hosted by Emily Zarka, Ph.D., takes us on a journey to discover a new monster in each new episode. Monstrum looks at humans' unique drive to create and shape monster mythology through oral storytelling, literature, and film and digs deep into the history of those mythologies.

The best way to avoid an Alien Abduction is to carry a HD camera and a stable tripod.

Brilliant.
..and an EMF meter that also has SUM setting - because that SCREAMED to the MAX when UFOs were outside my house!

Oh yeah because a camera can't be messed with by technically advanced beings...
My grandmother was born in 1903 (passed away in August 1999) she used to tell me about watching lights (UFO’s) in the night skies over Southern Utah, that was between 1909 - 1916 long before we had jumbo Airplanes ✈️

Actually, the appearance of the 'Greys" and other supposed aliens oddly matched the look of ancient elves, faeries, demons, etc, The phenomena has always been around.
When I was a kid - about 7 years old - I was playing in the woods behind my house. We lived in the country and we didn’t have neighbors for miles in all directions. Anyway, I was making a trail in the forest when I heard this little girl crying. I eventually found her. She was about my age and she was “taken by a spaceship.” I took her by the hand back to my house but when we got to the edge of the forest, she ran back in. I felt something very eerie come over me but I was too young to comprehend it. I ran to my house. My hand that touched the girl’s hand started to sting. I told my parents and they came with me to the woods. When we got to the place where I first found the girl, she was gone. Both my father and I saw a metallic orb in the sky overhead for a brief moment before it vanished without a sound. Ever since then, the skin on my hand has become discolored. Doctors say it’s vitiligo but I know it’s because I touched that little girl.
if you are telling the truth (i believe in Aliens). These is my guesses. Aliens eat different type of food if you look at how their body is develop, so our vitamins dont mix well when touch or that "girl" was an undercovered alien and it was an experiment of interaction, their tech might have interacted with our body foundation that why you got that vertigo spot (what i learned from Aliens their Tech is extremely, extremely dangerous). If they are advanced as mentioned in many videos and documentaries, telepathically is in their reach (without using AI/API recognition) which most think is fake. Most humans can't grasp psychics is real let alone the idea of everything around the Aliens. There is a reason why their eyes are Huge and pure black.
Suuuuuure
Cool story bro.
You ever try to find out who she was? Have your hand independently tested for radiation or any abnormalities? Look for tracks or any other evidence of the girl being there? Anything man?
Vitiligo is an auto-immune disease, body defense system attack the melanocytes that give more or less dark color to skin.
But some patients say their Vitiligo came from touching Diesel fuel.
Yes, it is possible molecules in fuel entering skin, attaching to body elements, changing it in a way it triggers an immune response as if it were alien to our body.
Sorry, skin in palms of hands does not contain melanocytes.
So, vitiligo can't affect hand palms.

9:51 The UFO abduction experienced by Travis Walton was not "almost exactly like the one experienced by the Hills." In fact, it is unique. One thing he had was a truckload of witnesses who had all passed polygraph tests conducted by the police. Furthermore, he disappeared for five entire days. There was no trace of him anywhere. He just showed up at a gas station in the middle of the night in an almost catatonic state. He would not let anyone touch him and would barely respond to anyone who addressed him. The attention his abduction got in the press made him even more averse to talking about what happened to him. The only reason he talked about it was so his co-workers would keep their good names since the town people and the police thought he was murdered by the men he worked with.
See my comment above
THANK you for CORRECTING THIS VIDEO, Sniff!
@@theultimatereductionist7592 You're welcome.
I absolutely agree. Whenever there are new skeptic's theories about the grays, the Travis Walton incident always proves them wrong.
The collective state of denial is more powerful than all the collective evidence of ETs visiting Earth. It's sad, but it's true.
My mom told me that one night when I was little I woke them up with a scream and when they came to investigate I had broken blood vessels in my face, they asked what happened and all I said was “the gray man in the window”. I don’t remember any of it at all, she also claims a craft followed her in the 70s, I just think it was acid and a military craft.
Yeah your moms on drugs
@Marshal Marrs How'd'you figure that? They could look like anything. A rock-based lifeform. Bacteria. Insects. A hippo-giraffe hybrid. A crab. I don't see why octopi are more plausible than anything else.
@@sophiepedigree7139 I think the point was more that aliens would look anything but humanoid. Octopuses are widely considered the closest equivalent we have to what an alien life form could potentially look like, they're completely unlike almost anything else on this planet.
As kids we remember certain things, especially strange things that just occurred once and it stays with us in the start and end of every day of lives. I must say because of my experience I believe you saw something that you couldn't explain at that time. The same happened to me back 1996. After my experience I didn't really make sense of it all until other things in my life began to happen. After doing some investigation and research of my own I have found out that this is one very creepy world we live in. We are not the only ones always around
That means others In your family have been taken. They seems to prefer certain bloodlines. That definitely was not the only time you have encountered them. I bet your taken a couple times a year without knowing. So has your mother or father been taken most their lives. Please don't dwell on it though the reasons are beyond our comprehension. I have been taken my entire life. They try not to scare anyone that's not what they want.
If you really want questions they could let you talk to one of the human looking ones just ask.
If they meant harm they could have by now. Wish you the best.
I heard a theory that the grays are a programable bio species commonly used by other ETS to carry out certain tasks. Could explain why most encounters are with them and not other ETS. just thought it was unique idea.
They are demons, theres testimonies of christians making the sign of the cross and they run away. But funny how the media doesnt cover these stories. Listen to Father Ripperger on demons, hes an exorcist.
Slave race theory.
Now, I take supposed leaks with a heavy bit of skepticism but I do file them in my mind as a possibility that requires much more info.
Now the leak claimed such. The evidence of these gray beings being genetically engineered and artificial is that they don’t have any evidence of junk dna that is leftover from the evolutionary processes. Even more interesting is the supposed leaker claims that there is evidence of being similar to us in a way.
I’m not biologists and so much of the evidence that is there to point to certain conclusions go over my head. But it is very interesting nonetheless.
I’ve read the theory is these grays are pretty much worker drones produced for a certain purpose or task.
That would explain why they crash so much. If any of these is true, maybe they are biologic robots or simply slaves to perform certain tasks.
Calling the Travis Walton experience similar to the Hills’ experience is a, um, unique interpretation. For starters, Betty and Barney were actually pursued by their visitors whereas Walton’s visitors were trying what they could to keep away from him and his buddies at first.
Lol yeah I caught that too. Their cases are almost NOTHING alike
Hills was BS
The truth can be established by special methods of Open-source intelligence (TEXT MINING). Consider the use of "flying saucers" (UFOs) as a means of delivering atomic weapons. This is very important and relevant, due to the fact that air defense is sharpened against ballistic missiles and aircraft, and UFOs calmly overcome them. The risk threshold has decreased - an atomic war may begin.
It was the phenomenon of such devices in the late 80s that frightened the leadership of the USSR. All these "UFOs over Krasnoyarsk", "UFOs over Perm" + the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant... Therefore, the leaders of Communist Party went to an honorable surrender...
However, for 30 years, the Russian Federation has been able to bring its electrokinetic flying machines to mind, and now there is panic in the United States - unknown objects are flying over the territory of both NATO and the United States. They have something to be afraid of: such combat UFOs will successfully deliver nuclear bombs to decision-making centers and enemy missile silos, bypassing air defense.
Americans were very scared of russian "flying triangles" and other unidentified phenomena, so the May meeting of the US Congress on UFOs was started in open mode, and then had to be classified. There are still no details in the media - what did the congressmen learn from intelligence? Now the situation is extremely tense, because "flying saucers", "triangles", etc. are very dangerous weapons. So, the threshold for starting an atomic war has dropped sharply, there is a real temptation to strike the first blow without fear of a response...
Similar in the fact neither happened.
President Harris: "Ah, good. The Air Force is here with those new round planes!" (Scary Movie 3, 2003)
Guess the faeries have become more tecnologically savy when it comes to their pranks.
Or they are demonic entities taking whatever outward form is most palatable to human beliefs at the time? Demigods in the ancient times, fae in the middle ages, now aliens in the industrial age and beyond. By most every report these beings are telepathic, so it's not hard to envision them changing their appearance to match the then-current zeitgeist...
Lol, I love this comment
Hahaha you’re funny 😄
Savvy*
Can you give some example of the pranks. Thanks
I always thought that the parallels between UFO abduction stories and older European stories about encounters with fairies were interesting. There's obviously something there that has captured our imagination for a very long time.
@@taylorfusher2997 and please tell me what do "dragons teeth" look like? These people where clearly misidentifying fossils. Or r u trying to tell me dragons exist?
Jacques Vallee enters the chat...
Other mythological creatures like GOBLINS or LEPRECHAUNS might be space alien too.
Yeah, existential boredom!
@@taylorfusher2997 Where did you even see dragon's teeth ? lmao
I had a sleep paralysis episode one night and I saw 3 greys looking down at me. I get sleep paralysis a lot so I learned how to wake myself up from these dreams, so I began to wake myself up as I looked up at them and when i woke up, they disappeared. It was awesome.
The documentary, "The Nightmare," talks about this. So wild.
@@markiep8477 I'll have to check it out. That night I was so blown away by how our mind is that powerful. They were so vivid.
@@Mew4U I had a very similar experience as a child. I had two greys look down on me one night, terrifying experience. It was only after a few more paralysis episodes I could recognise what was happening and become lucid to end the ordeal. I rarely get sleep paralysis these days which I'm thankful for.
@@dropbear430 it must be a freaky experience if you don't know it's sleep paralysis
I had a similar dream also except it was just one by itself
As a skeptic, the UFO craze of the 90s feels today very innocent and even kindhearted, when you compare it to what conspiracy theories are today.
I find it funny that Gray aliens seem to do to humans what humans do to other creatures. (abduct them for scientific experiments, breed them to get hybrid offspring, etc.)
I guess we make for amusing pets. 😊
Ironic
It’s because they are us.
If the aliens really want to know how we breed, all they have to do is to find some porn films, which have been a thing since 1907. Oh well...
Because, just like us, they exploit creatures they look on as inferior…what we do to cows …they do to us
I have Hypnopompic hallucinations. The worst one was a gray alien crawling into my window. I was halfway down the hall before I realized I was running. It was wild. My sister heard me yell and run like a maniac out of my room. it felt so real I kicked my door open like it was still in there lol.
I have issues with sleep paralysis. I have a vivid memory of being abducted. To this day, I can't tell you if it happened, or if it was a paralysis incident. That was 30 years ago, but it feels like it happened last night. Freaky.✌️😺
See I don't have no mental health other than spats of depression like, but I remember a heavy one over Christmas and the stuff I saw in my bed creeped the 7 Hells out of me!
Exotic Gypsy Dancer above my bed, Hooded Lady come down to face level who I tried to touch and then seemed to kiss my finger, then heavily tattooed Fella pointing at me!! That's when the lights come back on!!
When I told my Dad he just said it was my ancestors Lol
Now what's weirder the weird hallucination or my Dad's response?? 😆
@@PhoenixLyon See I mean this only in jest but was any bum stuff involved Lol
You can say sleep paralysis, etc to explain things. But how about the 'real effects' of possible alien interventions and abductions, etc such as scoop marks on the skin and implanted metal devices that have been removed by doctors. Hard to see how those things occur when the explanations are just sleep paralysis and hallucinations.
Liar! Keep trying to get attention.
What if these beings are humans from the future? What if these future humans have found a way to “tap” into our timeline to study their past. My theory is that they are not physically here, but rather show up momentarily in our physical plane due to the technology they use to “review” the historical time point which they want to study. This explains why their vessels are not bound by physical limitations and can cross different mediums. They may have ways to “interact” remotely with our physical world but they are not actually here.
I like your theory that seems to make sense because I do catch images of them in the sky of San Diego California they do change shape a lot take different shapes of animals and humans but I do capture lots of pictures I do have them on my page something you're interested in looking at they are all captured from the night sky there are some drone videos that El Cajon is doing those are drones that's not anything Extra-Terrestrial but the other items that I do have on my page are photos of the grays
@@amberlove8141 There is only one “suspicious anomaly” in this whole theory: the absolute majority of sightings are in the US which suggests that the US is “targeted by these vessels” somehow, which make other theories that suggest that these ufo’s are drones from adversaries like China plausible!
@@Someduud I agree there's some crazy stuff going on here in the United States that's for sure the other images and videos that I have are not drones though they're actual grays I'm assuming but they are images of humans that I'm capturing from the night sky as well as animals and that makes no sense neither
Yeah I don’t know about that if we had alien dna or something we’d know I feel that they are just other beings learning about creatures as we do otherwise why would there be images of ufos in space
The first depiction of the greys comes from Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Spielberg had Dr. J. Allen Hynek for on set accuracy. Everything you see in that movie had been from eyewitnesses and Hynek was the head of project blue book for many years. Hynek told Spielberg that their eyes were black but Spielberg didn't want the audience to be afraid or think they were evil so he made their eyes like ours only slightly bigger.
didn't h.g. wells create the 1st grays, but in his story they were future humans?
@@SpydrXIII Then there is Aleister Crowley's drawing "LAM" from 1918 which looks a lot like the Greys. He claimed it was an entity he had contacted using ceremonial magick.
@@pohjanakka4992 woah that looks weird
@@pohjanakka4992 probably an evil entity.
@@Kinobambino Human beings make a career of projecting their own "evil" onto "entities."
I've had a UFO encounter with a good friend. It moved impossibly fast and erratically; almost like it was drawing sailor's knots in the sky, and flared up in color accordingly to its motions (dark green and orange almost like hot metal). Tons of strange stuff happened the day before and after too. Every electrical thing in my friend's car went haywire when we saw it, and the roads to the area were blocked off the morning after in a five mile radius. I saw police from nine county's rushing in that direction earlier that day (It was a very quiet area of New Hampshire too. That kind of thing is basically unthinkable), and we both had a conversation about how strange people were acting around us. We felt like everyone we interacted with earlier that day was very off, almost like they were on sedatives. It was funny to joke about, until it very much was scary.
Even then, I'm still not even sure what it was. It's just one of those things that comes up between us after a period of silence where one of us goes, "so that really happened, right?" It's like we can't even accept what we saw, yet at the same time, it felt like the realest thing to ever happen to us. Was it just an Owl and a bunch of really crazy coincidences like with most of these stories? Was it really something alien? I don't know. I'm still endlessly skeptical, but it's made me more empathetic to people in the community who are just genuinely looking for closure. The world is wild, and sometimes we see stuff we can't understand. We can only say what we saw, not what it was.
You have been abducted and implanted as well as your friend.
I was on the greyhound headed to California from Arizona, the craft looked like a teardrop space craft moving in a way I never seen they flew south headed too Utah in the mountains this was 60 to 80 miles from the border in the middle of the desert 7 in the morning weird encounter
I doubt this story because no matter how advanced your technology is you cannot violate the laws of physics. You're adding some super natural elements to its capability which is obviously questionable right away.
@@alfredoysada8203 lol
Do you have more technical details on the craft? Was there anything written on it? Why don t you write down all details in a website?
Thanks for having me on Dr. Z! There's not much that's more fun to talk about than aliens. Also, I need to hear more about your UAP sighting. -Josef
Dr. Z talks about aliens without mentioning the other Dr. Z ( that would be Dr. Zoidberg, of course!)
Josef, if you're as young as you look, you're very poised and knowledgeable for your age; if, on the other hand, your chronological age matches your demeanor, I'm simply envious. In a different vein, I'm surprised nobody mentioned Dr. Jacques Vallée. The French guy in Close Encounters was based on him, and he's a very sober, careful researcher. He doesn't think the "aliens" are extraterrestrials. He thinks they're stranger than that, possibly interdimensional.
Cool
"Greys" not "Grays"
@@misguidedangel6550 Grays. Greys. GARYS!!!!!
I really like this new focus on the classic alien after the Martians episode (BTW, the first alien that popped into my head at the beginning of the vid was none other than Invader Zim).
The Grays are straight-up little extraterrestrial perverts, but they are also horrifying when they want to be, such as in the March 1956 case of Jonathan Lovette, a United States Air Force sergeant based at White Sands (yes, that White Sands) who, according to his commanding officer, Major William Cunningham, was abducted by a strange flying craft. By the time reinforcements arrived, Lovette was nowhere to be found, and Cunningham was found right by their Jeep, curled up tighter than an armadillo with a stomach cramp, and visibly disturbed. It would be several days before Lovette's horrifyingly mutilated body was found, and to this day, no one can explain how Lovette's body was carved up with such precision, or shake Cunningham's story.
Also, it's nice to see more attention given to Barney & Betty Hill and their encounter. I guess I was lucky enough to hear about it through an old History Channel show when I was little (I think it was UFO Files or UFO Hunters), but I rarely ever see any videos or articles talking about it, which is a shame. Then again, I never did see any stories about the so-called "Risley Encounter" until last year, when I started binge-watching fellow paranormal CZcams channel Bedtime Stories.
Perhaps, in later episodes, you could give focus to another unearthly being whose story is often intertwined with the alien abduction: Indrid Cold, otherwise known as "the Grinning Man," as well as those who are sent to silence those who talk too much about aliens: the Men In Black.
Very cool story bro.
"Those who really control of the Collectives that are functioning in your world have probably not been encountered by anyone in the world yet. You have only recognized the worker classes who are bred to serve in specific functions... They are rigidly controlled. They have little or no personal freedom."
~ from 'The Allies of Humanity' : The Collectives
Well that is interesting.
Thank you, B.
This was a very well put together video. The only major historical event that was completely left out is before the 1946 wave of UFO sightings, there was a massive wave of UFO's seen in the skies throughout the world, during WW2. These craft that would follow along and terrify pilots during the war were coined Foo Fighters. Both the Axis powers and the Allied powers each had numerous encounters with these UFO's and both sides believed that they were secret advanced aircraft developed by the enemy. These sightings were well documented so I am surprised it wasn't even mentioned.
Also the work of John Mack
Yes there are many such military incidents with plenty of supporting documentation, high level multiples testimony and even recordings and multiple sensor readings in some cases. Rendlesham, Malmstrom, Nimitz… but there are countless similar stories worldwide. Always seems to happen around military, and rarely with any sort of comfortable explanation.
@@sibbyeskie Wasn’t Rendlesham, the name of a forest in the UK where they had a few nights of intense UFO sightings over at a military base that was also a nuclear facility? If I remember correctly the UFO’s either armed or shut down the base’s nuclear weapons.
I'm sure all the 'pep pills' (meth) they were feeding pilots had nothing to with anything.
@@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life Yes, though it wasn't known to be a nuclear weapons storage facility at the time (still not "official"). It was the biggest base in Europe for nuclear weapons storage. There is an audio recording of the base commander as one of the encounters happened. But yes there were many witnesses, some who even spoke at national press club events, and documents unearthed. The only reason we know about this is because a FOIA document came out by accident and the people involved were allowed to talk about it. The only thing more incredible about the entire scene is how you just don't hear about it in any major media.
I took a class about the scientific possibility of extraterrestrial life as an elective back in college. The class didn't focus on what could be behind UFO sightings, but on the question of if extraterrestrial life exists, what does it need to survive? It was a fun class and I enjoyed it, as did a lot of my classmates. And at the very end, on the day of our final exam, the professor revealed himself to be a gray and we were all abducted.
Kidding. No, the craziest thing to happen was that on the day of the last exam, I played the Imperial March from my iPod and speaker while he walked to the front of the lecture hall. He found that hysterical.
I took a similar one! Habitable worlds!
@@kimberlyterasaki4843 such a cool class! And it really does make you think about what extraterrestrials would need if they wanted to live off world, let alone travel to Earth.
Omg if school was like that i would have never skipped!!!!!
School in the 90s was a rigid curriculum in comparison
Putting your needs in place of an advanced species is like saying someone in the 1800s would say..."if anyone from the future were here we'd know, cuz they'd have killed the bear across the river for a it's fur, for heat!"
Native American lore mentions " Ant People " that lived underground. Back before any modern technology if one came across a "Grey" it's not a stretch for someone to describe them looking like a ant. Also, the Hopi for for Ant = Anu, Hopi word for Friend = Naki, combined = Anu-Naki. It's interesting to say the least that this is very similar to Anunnaki which is of ancient Sumerian origin.
It definitely is a stretch, and you clearly have no clue about linguistics if you think a term randomly sounding like a completely different word in a random other language is worthy of a note.
I wonder if advanced aliens would even be fascinated with our incredibly complex information and communication culture (social medias, for example)
Omg, I didn't see the r in grays and was wondering what kinda conspiracy theory Channel did I subscribe to?

I lived just 2 houses down from one of the loggers from the Travis Walton Incident! He was the youngest guy there, 19 I believe, and there was definitely something up with the guy. After the book and movie came out he was given copies. He was kinda a strange guy, heard he had problems sleeping, and got really into drugs shortly after the incident. He died a few years back. He wasn't even that old. I've always wanted to ask his family what his story was.
I havent heard of Travis dying.
@@zukodude487987 not Travis. One of the other loggers.
Their boss had taken on a few too many contracts. But one of their contracts had a clause that didn't penalize them if the crew was afraid to return to the area. Walton was a UFO buff, and they hatched the purported abduction from it. (One big giveaway was that his family wasn't at all worried about him. Most people would at least give stink-eye to a co-worker who told them their loved one had been snatched by aliens.) Then he showed up, hale and well, with a story right out of the UFO lore of the era.
Travis was abducted by Mi-Gos and his buddy failed the SAN roll when he witnessed it.
I had no idea Travis Walton had died, that is really sad to hear.
According to Ssgt Clifor Stone, their are three types of Grey's. Each seems to be a little taller than the next. The Grey one (1) seems to be the most common. The Grey Three(3) are the guys in charge of it all. We captured one ( Grey Three), Ssgt Stone had to help him escape. If he didn't, that underground base along with all of its occupants would have been destroyed.
You leave out "2"? Jackass
You mentioned three types... what about the third type?
I'm not sure, nor do I personally know the roll of a "Grey 2". Look up Dr. Steven Greer, plus listen to how they get here.@@american_cosmic
as a fine artist and a musician, I would love to have a conversation with aliens, talk about each other's cultural art and find out what their music sounds like. just imagine what another interstellar species from another planet's cultural significance is. how similar will it be, or will we have the vocabulary to describe the differences. isn't it fascinating?
Oh boy, bringing back memories of my childhood. I used to be so afraid of The Grays, I didn't want to sleep near my window!
It was years before I could eat pancake syrup again after watching Fire in the sky lol
I swear to god, everytime i see a picture of a Gray it still sends shivers down my spine. I was so afraid of Aliens even up to my early Teen Years.
The cover of the book "Communion", and then the movie, scarred me as a kid.
I think we’re forgetting a big influence on the depiction of Grays: H. G. Wells. In War of the worlds, The Martians had a domestic supply of food that look eerily similar to Grays. Later stories by Wells change alien depictions to fit the description of Grays due to the editors choice of making “realistic” aliens
I'd say _Close Encounters of the Third Kind_ kind of cemented how an alien is supposed to look according to western culture. Like how Japanese horror created 'ghost girl with long black hair' that started as a niche trope and just became the way all ghosts look now.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 I agree. The Rimbaldi-created alien at the end of the movie was unnervingly and arrestingly realistic and made a huge impression on movie-goers at the time. Soon afterwards, the abduction phenomenon ramped up in popularity and guys like Raymond Fowler and David Jacobs focused exclusively on abduction cases that fit a certain pattern, helping reinforce the image of the Short Gray in the popular consciousness.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368The CLOSE ENCOUNTERS aliens were based off of witness reports
How are we abducted by the aliens Hollywood made up? LOL you know where the greys came from right? They were invented for the movie War of the Worlds way back in the 20s or 30s. This is exactly why everyone uses these fictional beings as the standard for Aliens. LOL

I am an abductee for my whole life. I have seen a dozen or UFO craft, all different and was told by a group of aliens reviewing my memories that I saw craft unseen on Earth before. It is not fun. I have no memories of seeing aliens but they call it "mind blocking" and most abductees can tell you about it as they need regression hypnosis in order to recall the event at all. I am going homeless from these things and my life is destroyed . My family hates me and disregards me including my mother who I used to visit for a week or more now wants nothing to do with me. Not just a strange occurrence but directed hatred.

12:13 I think it should be pointed out that Carl Sagan was a staunch non-believer in the "UFOs are aliens" and abduction narratives. "The Demon Haunted World" covers his opinions on the subject (and of scientific literacy and skepticism as well) while recounting some of the same stories used here.
True, Although Sagan did believe that there was life in the Universe and that it was basic arrogance on the part of humanity to assume that the human race and Earth was the center of everything.
@@cha5 Yeah but expanding on that it's arrogant to assume that in this incomprehensibly enormous universe aliens would come all the way to our planet for no other purpose than to secretly observe us in silence.
@@Cr3zant Or probe our genitals, lol. I am with Sagan on both counts. Statistically speaking there are so many verified planets now in just our local cluster of stars that the odds of us being the only intelligent life in the universe is very small. Which is why the Fermi Paradox is so interesting. Why haven't we spotted signs of civilization yet? Some of it is certainly our own biases about what constitutes intelligent life and civilization based on what our civilization looks like. It's the ultimate question, "Are we alone?"
@@iananelson8256 There's an incredibly easy answer to the so-called "Fermi Paradox" (neither proposed by Fermi nor an actual paradox). The universe is really, really, incredibly big and FTL travel that would allow for the ability to travel between galaxies is progressively looking more and more impossible, leaving massive colony ships as the only reasonable form of travel, except even those have significant issues of surviving in that massive void between galaxies without easy access to solar power due to the distance from any stars.
@@Cr3zant- And any radio or television signals will degrade over distance, even FM. I wonder if some of those fractional bands on Earth (98.6 FM, 98.7 FM, and so on) might bleed together after a while.
Colony ships even within the Milky Way still need a destination. A tiny lifeboat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean has a better chance of coming across a habitable island than a generation ship does of finding a suitable planet. If the destination solar system doesn't have suitable planets, they must either move on (if they have the fuel) or become a space-borne civilization mining asteroids and planets for necessary raw materials.
What made X-files so good was that they were true cases. They had an ex-FBI agent helping them with the stories. That’s why the more recent X-files are awful. They don’t have anyone helping them anymore.
A saucer may look cigar shaped if it was flying sideways, it depends on the point of view. Maybe that's why some people see cigar shaped crafts and others see saucer shaped ones.
I once witnessed a U.F.O. in Garden of the Gods Park located in Colorado Springs Colorado. It was extremely dark, so I saw no details, but it was @ 35 yards wide and circular, dull lights showed the shape. It was absolutely silent, so it wasn't a helicopter. It hovered above me for @5 minutes then flew away. It remains one of the wierdest moments of my life.
It's a ufo because you couldn't identify it, not because it was aliens.
@@maythesciencebewithyou never anything about aliens 👽
The most common attribute is silent, unusual flight pattern, a feeling of slowed time (or “missing time”) and often all ambient sound (animals, insects) becoming silent. Did you experience any of these other than just a silent craft?
I think i saw one in Peach Springs Arizona it looked the size of say Venus but it zipped across the sky ,,, for about a half hour. It seemed like it was mapping in retrospect but ie would streak across the sky then stop on a "dime". Now PS is at the base of the mini grand canyons so there was no city lights but billions of star light ,this made it easy to see a moving object against the beautiful back drop of star light in the night sky.
@@maythesciencebewithyou what difference does it make?
Strangely enough, in the story Fire In The Sky, the aliens who appeared to be the Grays were, in actuality, another alien race entirely, who wore advanced space suits that gave them the appearance of the Gray aliens. These hostile aliens were a species similar to the Grays but they had brown skin and they looked more like creatures that were made out of rock or another rock-like organic substance that resembled rock. They were apparently scientists of a sort and they performed medical experiments on humans in very unethical ways, or more accurately, without any regard for the well-being of the abducted test subject. That puts an even more bizarre and creepier twist on the stories of the Gray aliens. Perhaps not all of the abductors were the Grays, and it turns out that they were merely other aliens of similar size pretending to be them for whatever reason.
You know the man abducted says the aliens accidentally hurt him and took him on board to heal him
When he was healed they brought him back. CZcams and documentaries with him are available
That was just the movie. If you're interested in the topic I'd highly recommend reading his book.
Due to lack of compelling content here on CZcams.. I came back here to a great Dr. Z video. Thanks once more, Dr. Z!
While visiting the dentist the other day for an emergency operation, I kept thinking that this was why we think of abductions and very uncomfortable examinations. Bright lights, probing in the mouth, loud noises, people that look funny with masks on, and pain. I think our minds fill in the rest to create a common trope. More people now than ever visit the dentist and doctors and have roughly the same experience. Just food for thought.
Same w being born in hospital. Probes suck out fluids and lights mask etc
Very interesting observation. Be interesting to see a correlation done between dentist visits vs people reporting abductions.
a funny story about the sleep paralysis idea is that there was a time were I was intentionally inducing sleep paralysis on myself, and one of the things that would happen is that I would hallucinate the silhouette of greys in my window's curtains, that would make me scared enough that I would force myself to wake up, even knowing it wasn't real. I never actually believed in aliens, but even if you don't believe rationally, some fascinations or fears are irrational, during sleep paralysis I would hallucinate unconscious irrational fears I had. if I had no idea what sleep paralysis is, or how it can induce hallucinations, I would DEFINITELY believe in alien abductions because of those experiences. so when people say that some abductions are just sleep paralysis, I don't have a problem believing in it.
I had a roommate in college who had sleep paralysis once. He woke up at an odd angle with his back in the corner between his bed and the wall. At that time, he hallucinated a large, black demon that had him pinned in the corner with one hand and was whispering all the horrible things it would do to him. At the end, the demon leaned in closer and said, "Where's your God now?". Then he fully woke up. My roommate told us about his experience the next day, fully recognizing that it was sleep paralysis, but said it was still terrifying as it occurred.
How does one induce sleep paralysis on themselves?
@@OnlyDeathIsEternal it varies from people to people, in my case I managed to do it by sleeping on my back and clearing my mind, but it only worked when I was really tired. then when I get that feeling that my body is falling you usually have when you are falling asleep, I just let it happen. when it works it almost feel like I get stuck midway from falling asleep, then I just open my eyes and try to move, when I see that my body is really heavy and I can't move I realize I'm in a state of sleep paralysis. in that state I can actually look around and move my head, though to be sincere I have no idea if I'm actually moving my head or even opened my eyes, or just dreaming that I'm looking around in my room, its a really trippy feeling, the world around you don't look right, yet, it feels like you are awake and the experience is real. that is when you can start lucid dreaming, the problem being those intrusive thoughts I mentioned taking control of the dream from you. to wake up what I do Is just try to scream as loud as I can while I try to flex my whole body, then I just jump awake with a slightly humiliating scream as I get control of my body back.
but as I said, it varies from people to people, if you want to try it what I suggest is look up different guides on how to lucid dream and see if any of them works for you since lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis are kinda related, both work through disrupting REM sleep. though I have to say that I don't do that anymore, and I can't even do it if I tried. at the time I stopped because it was really exhausting and it was starting to mess with my sleep. but years later when I tried I couldn't do it no matter how much I tried.
While maybe a leap, there is a frame that these entities are all around and we connect with them only in certain states. Many claim they simply asked for them to show up and that’s what they experience, even filming (when not paralyzed, typically distant lights). Yes, it seems absurd, however we really don’t understand consciousness, and we know notions like space and time and individuated matter don’t make scientific sense and physics is looking beyond those notions right now. It seems that the possibilities are vast.
@@taylorfusher2997 I don't know if you're special needs or something but stop commenting on EVERY SINGLE THREAD, about THE EXACT SAME THING. TF is wrong with you 🤣
I saw a UAP once, though i don’t believe in aliens visiting earth. Watched a bright light move at a steady pace through the sky, then change direction in a sharp angle and shoot off very quickly.
Also, the bit about sleep paralysis. I get that and mine mostly manifest as demons or eldridge gods and they feel extremely real. You’re dreaming but conscious at the same time, and the dream is overlaid over the room you’re in so it’s really hard to tell the difference between the dream and reality. I think they’re cool but some have been really frightening.
Those hypnopompic and hypnogogic hallucinations are likely at the bottom of numerous stories of supernatural or otherworldly encounters. Sleep paralysis appears, in altered form, in all those old fiction stories of people awake and paralyzed in bed by the local ghost/witch/demon/whatever until they either throw it off or the creature goes away.
My only UAP experience was in Dec. 2012.
It was at the museum where I was working, where we were beginning a holiday tour. I was sitting in a carriage, looking at the river as it flowed towards Long Island Sound. A bright red light appeared in the sky, moving rather aimlessly: there were no strobes that might indicate a conventional aircraft. There soon appeared another light (from where I could not tell), and a third, and a fourth. One of the carriage attendants asked me if I saw them, and I affirmed their sighting. However, the arrival of the first tour group interrupted us; and by the time we got back to our starting point, the lights were gone.
Sleep paralysis seems more like bullshit than the experiences to me. I've never had it, but I have had experiences and saw a few things.
Regardless of what you may think or believe or not, aliens are quite real. After that sight you had, you have been abducted. Sleep paralysis is a very usual method they use for brain, body and sexual area implantation. Afterwards, they use it for energy extraction during nighttime. And Aliens look just the way you are trying to describe them: evil looking tall reptilian capable of changing shape in order to confuse you. Implants eventually will deteriorate your health.
@@wesstone7571- Just because you've never (knowingly) experienced it doesn't make it false. It's a real thing.
The only things about Betty and Barney Hill story is no one can deny is that the aliens told her where they came from and just recently within 10 years ago scientists found the star system that they didn't know existed and the aliens told her about this!

I worked at Toys R Us in the latter half of the 1990s. One of the most random collectibles/toys I would come across and purchase for myself was a 6-inch figure of a depicted "Grey" alien. The figure, having a release date of 1996, was marketed by the manufacturer (Street Players Holding Corp.) as "the Roswell Aliens," and included the alleged account of the infamous incident on the packaging. The figure still hangs on my wall (unopened) to this day.

Not myth for some. Me and my mom saw two of them in the early 80s. They weren't grey but pale. One was short and the other was medium height. I had no conception of "greys" or "aliens" back then as a kid. Didn't know what I was looking at back then.
Interesting, did they see you?
Where did you see them
In my apartment with my mom. We both saw them. I was a kid. And yes they saw us. They were standing in the doorway watching us.
Loong story short. I went to my moms room because I was scared of something. I now no longer remember what it was. But I know I was plagued for a while in that apartment. When I went to my mothers room and slept next too her I felt thee feeling someone was watching me. I looked in the doorway and there were two of them standing there. One was about 4 feet the other was about 5 or so. I could make out their larger heads, skinny frames and couldn't tell if they were wearing clothes or not as it was dark enough to just see shadows and tones, not light or extreme detail, so they might have had skin tight clothes of the same color? They didn't advance, just looked at me.
I thought it was my imagination and they would go away like all fancies do if I closed my eyes and opened them. I did soo, and they were still there. I thought if I covered my head with the sheet for a while they would disappear, they didn't. I was very scared at this point and then told my mom I saw them there. I figured she would console me nothing was there and then they would disappear. But she said, "I know sweetie, don't look at them." and held me tight. She was scared as well. I was so scared at that point.
Keep in mind I had no conception of aliens, greys, or green men at that age. It was the early 80s and I was a kid. We both remember this to this day. I am not concerned whether people believe me or not at all. But I also doo not claim to know what they are like others.
I am a firm believer in science and so to me they do not look "alien" enough to me, like they evolved on another planet. They were humanoid for one, eyes, nose, mouth all placed the same place as us, two arms and two legs with elbows and knees and hands and I assumed feet. Convergent evolution can only go so far, they seem to me like some evolved hominid. Humans from the future? Older hominids from a bygone age? Or panspermia and we have the same origins? Whatever, but they are not beings that evolved in a totally lineage to us. We are linked somehow. That's my two cents but I'm no one.
@@level9drow856 and what do you think they were doing in your room?
@@oli.y
I've no idea LOL. I think they were doing something in the previous room. I've no recollection what. I left and they didn't peruse into my mom's room. But instead watched me from the doorway.
At the time it seems creepy. But looking back after hearing things other witnesses have said, I think they were just doing check ups on me? For what reason I don't know.
When they stood there in the doorway at the time it was scary. But now looking back I think it was good bye. That was the last time anything weird happened in my life like that. They were done and wanted me too remember this.
Makes you wonder about the nature of who they are. I had another pet theory as well. Perhaps WE, as humans, are in a learning and "child" phase. And what we're learning to become on an individual basis is THEM the "adults" and that who we are as conscious beings is larger than being human. We perhaps will wake up as one of them upon death and graduate? This means they may have been ancestors? It sounds absurd, and it is. Their just thoughts. I'm no scientist and it's not like there is any credible information out there about them. Juist a ton of quacks and misinformers. So I have to resign myself with the thought that I may never know. But that's one idea I have amongst many. They're just fanciful thoughts. I've not committed to any theory. But I've thought about them all my life so you can't avoid trying.
when you said how do you visualize aliens, I immediately thought of the Doctor haha

Sleep paralysis is very interesting. I wonder what it means when people have hallucinations with shared traits. I like the explanation that describes out-of-body experiences as the sleepy brain trying to construct its normal waking model of itself and falling short due to the paralysis inducing effects of sleep which the brain tries to resolve with an external representation of a separate being which is in fact a distorted model of the self. If that is entirely true, then Grays are maybe often how many people see their half asleep selves, in a sort of interoceptive sense.
When you wake up in a half sleep state yet cannot move your body to even turn your head its absolutely terrifying. This causes fear and panic a racing heart and fear. This combined with dark shapes at the edges of your peripheral vision only exacerbate your situation resulting hallucinations as your brain tries to make sense of what is going on. Its only very slowly that you regain the mastery of your limbs as well. All in all its incredibly stressful but fortunately for myself with age the frequency has abatted and virtually stopped. Sleep paralysis frequently comes with sleep walking and insomnia as well, or at least it did for me

Often my SP there will be intruders breaking in to my house or walking around inside but I never see them thank God only hear them moving around or breaking windows, rummaging through drawers etc as you know it's absolutely terrifying. If someone doesn't experience SP you can't even explain the absolute terror you feel especially if you see something scary. There's been times when I kick out of the SP I turn on every light in the house and I will check every closet, under beds etc to make sure nobody is in the house, it feels that real. Usually after I have SP I don't go back to sleep I force myself to stay awake the rest of the night and quite often i will have to miss work then I will go to sleep around 9 or 10am when it's fully light outside and neighbors are awake and outside so I don't have to worry about any intruders coming back in.
@@misguidedangel6550 I agree that they are usually frightening. My experience has been that the recognition of a hypnopompic hallucination as a figment of one's own mind can allow a person to alter the tone of it, i.e. if you're afraid they generally become more terrifying, if you're curious they become abstract and more like white noise than an apparent threat. It's a state of mind very similar to lucid dreaming, which can be entered easily from hallucinations occurring just before or just after waking up.
@@Volros64 You have been abducted and implanted. Sleep paralysis is what they use to extract your living energy. They don't care if it causes you fear, panic or die during the intervention. Humans are like laboratory's rats for them.

As I started to open my eyes right in front of me was a window and at the top right corner I saw what now I describe as a gray. As my eyes were opening I was rubbing them to get focused but I could still see the at gray in the top right corner of the window looking in. I really didn’t think anything of it as I was young and society was not on the UFO tip as heavy at the time. But now that I think think back to that night. I definitely saw a gray alien looking in the window accidentally because I heard the footsteps on the roof
Yet people in countries that don’t have access to the media we have, have seen the exact same aliens. Also, there are cultures that have had encounters with beings with similar descriptions..hundreds and sometimes thousands of years ago.
I honestly think it's highly unlikely that we are alone in the universe. I can't imagine that in all of space explored or unexplored that we are all that's in it. I believe in the likelihood of something being true, and to me it's quite likely that there are other beings from far beyond anything we can yet imagine.

Even if traveling at light speed was possible by the time you got there you'd be a different species.
I wanna say it was ten years ago? Maybe a little less. But there was an article I either read or watched a video on that explained that back in Medieval/Renaissance era, depictions of demons coming to people's bedside and abduction was more widespread until the 18th/19th century when it started to turn into The Grey's or just Aliens in general. Another thing people aren't talk too much on as well is that there where reports of secret military tech from Canada/US about test aircraft that was just straight up flying saucers. Not to mention, if Alien spacecraft is going to come to Earth, why would they have FAA regulatory lights on them? Are there Aliens out there? I believe, but I don't believe they're coming here to bother us.
And why would they be invisible to radar, but visible to the eye one day, then caught on radar but unseen the next? It surely wouldn't take them long to figure out we could detect them, and beings capable of violating relativity to pop over for a visit could also ensure we never saw them clearly.
Aliens are the modern fae folk.
Considering the problems that intelligence has brought our own species, I'm pretty sure at least 99% of intelligent aliens are also busy just trying not to annihilate their own planet.

Me to but I take it further I think aliens are 4 th dimensional and change by our perception of them or what we expect to see
EARLIENS!
Greys are the only truly terrifying alien depictions IMO. Xenomorphs and Martians are no more scary than wild predators or mass murderers.
A Martains design varies though.
“So your leaders are just… taller than everyone else? “
I can confirm you can see space people during sleep paralysis. I had a bunk bed growing up. I remember waking up once- couldn't move, but I could see to the right of my bed, and a head about 1' wide by 2' tall with 2 massive eyes rose into my field of view and gazed at me. I can't say what color its eyes were because I have never seen that color before or since. It was like perceiving all the colors of the rainbow at once. Then it started asking me questions about what extended warranties were and why humans make so many electromagnetic communications about it. That was the scariest moment of my entire life.
So basically, there was a time that aliens from space were as popular as super heroes are nowadays.
@Serb_Force1 Wtf I'm not saying it's all fake, I'm saying it was very popular.
Your text interpretation is lacking and your ego is immense
@@taylorfusher2997 you're connecting quite distant dots there though
@@taylorfusher2997 Not every story in mythology has to be directly inspired by a real physical object, in fact most aren't. People make up stories, usually what influences a story most is previous stories, not the real world. If you actually watch this video or other videos from this series you can see that.
Plus not having a conventional explanation does not mean that aliens are the only explanation. Aliens are the least likely explanation for any given phenomena, use Occam's razor.
super heros were very popular during the time alien abduction stories became popular. Never heard of the golden age and silver age of comics?
@@maythesciencebewithyou of course I did. But even then, they weren't mainstream like they are now. Now even the bullies like Marvel, the popular girls use Haley Queen shirts on their social media, and older non-geek people watch The Boys, for example.
you know the novel The Secret History of Twin Peaks by Mark Frost is actually a really good recap of the history of ufo and alien encounters in America, from Lewis and Clark to Nixon. I would recommend it to people interested in this subject even if they're not fully into Twin Peaks
Is that why they have that one episode where they use all those rockets to try n blow up the boundary around earth to let the entities in on twin peeks?
The last years of the last decade were very crazy regarding the extraterrestrial thing, the pentagon admits to having a program, recordings are declassified, the existence of area 51 and the intergalactic object Oumuamua are confirmed, why?
Weird how UFO encounters by regular people seem to have stopped just as everyone started carrying around an HD smartphone camera.
No really. Regular people still see them. Most of these objects are spotted far away and HD smartphone camera still aren't quite there yet as far as a crystal clear zoom.
I am so relieved to see discussions involving these types of subjects are becoming less taboo to talk about. Clearly there is something to these stories that extend across our history. It's about time we are finally becoming mature enough as a species to start to comprehend the true nature of our situation here on Earth. These conversations are not only refreshing but also I give a sigh of relief now that I can talk about these things with others instead of being driven mad with my own interpretations! Lol. Love the video, Subscribed.
Just because we don't understand something doesn't mean it's aliens. It means we don't understand.
Mercifully, the Navy and NASA seem to understand this, and they are handling it properly -- gathering observations and turning them over to people qualified to analyze them. Sadly, and predictably, the undereducated and histrionic public takes these snippets of information, creates the conclusion it wants, and works backward to try to find an explanation that fits. That is faith, not science.
Things that bother me:
Let's imagine ourselves in the place of the putative aliens. Would WE behave the way our UAPs behave? It's reasonable to assume that intelligence, no matter its origin, shares some common features. Corvids, cephalopods and cetaceans have a degree of intelligence, much less than ours, but the basic ways they use it to solve problems are very similar to ours. Since they evolved intelligence separately but in parallel with us means we should be able to use them as models of extraterrestrial intelligence.
Reports of UFOs have occurred for over 100 years, if not much longer. Let's assume they're aliens. Either they stumbled upon us by chance, or they noticed us at a distance and are investigating. How did they find us?Presumably the same way we'd find them -- looking for technologic signatures in various bands of electromagnetic radiation, or spectroscopy of light passing through our atmosphere. That reciprocity is important; keep it in mind.
OK, when did we begin sending out a tech signature? 150, maybe 200 years ago, assuming they noticed the poisoning of our atmosphere during the Industrial Revolution. Strong EM signals didn't begin to escape Earth until the last century, as we began sending WEAK electromagnetic waves in the radio spectrum. For an alien civilization to detect the Amos and Andy signal, then design and mount a response would take time. Then they have to travel here at sublight speed, from a starting point well within a 50 light-year EM sphere, and in reality within 10 or fewer light-years. I'm not interested in doing the complex calculus to pinpoint their proximity, but let's apply reductio ad absurdum. Say we sent I Love Lucy their direction in 1953, 70 years ago. They can't be more than 70 light years away to receive it in our 2020. That would leave them no time to respond and get here in 2020. So if they are out UAPs, their home must be much closer. Even if their journey to us is at high sublight speed, it's going to take many decades. In reality, they can't be more than 6 or 8 light years away, if that. Probably 4. And that's JUST to account for an arrival time of NOW. Not 100 years ago, or 50. In that case, they could not have been clued in by our radio signals.
But if they're 6 light years away and could find us, then we could see them. We don't.
So the possibility of our being detected by our tech signature really falls apart, at ANY distance from their planet. That means they found us serendipitously, which is a virtual impossibility.
OK, so even if they found us by accident, I question why an alien species would spend well over a century flitting into and out of our perception, always at a distance ?1 km. Never directly overhead of the observer, never close by. And always at an angle of elevation around 20° above the horizon, about the elevation of a thrown frisbee. Why is it that no one directly underneath ever has a camera? And why is it that so many different form factors have been described? Imagine it is we who detect another tech civilization, and set out to meet them. Would we send the generational mother ship outfitted with a variety of small excursion vessels shaped like discs, tic tacs, rods, triangles, spheres and dodecahedrons? That sounds costly, redundant and wasteful, to me. Or would we outfit some of them with blindingly intense exterior lights? Not unidirectional, focused lights to examine surface features at night. No. Omnidirectional lights, blazing intensely on everything. Odd behavior for a vessel that's been trying to conceal its existence.
And why are they so interested in Arkansas?
Next, I assume they originate in this cosmos, and have to obey the laws of physics which limit objects' behaviors. How, then, do they accelerate instantaneously to hypersonic speeds without pancaking themselves? Maybe they're drones, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah... See what's happening? UFO fanboys doing ANYTHING to protect their pet obsession. That is not science. It is a faith-derived conclusion searching for a supporting narrative.
There's more incongruity. Why are they so shy? They've spent many decades, maybe over a century buzzing pickup trucks on rural roads in Missouri, abducting lonely, depressed Missouri housewives, doing unspeakable scatologo-sexual things to them, showing them hints of forbidden physical pleasure before dumping them in their backyards at 3am with their nightgowns pulled up over their heads. Would astronauts from NASA, or ESA or the United Earth Cosmic Quest Federation act this way on finding an inhabited planet? Remember, intelligent behavior is probably somewhat stereotypical, based on our experience with alien intelligences on Earth (octopusses, Corvids, Republicans).
Our government's inquiry into these phenomena is being conducted in a commendably rational manner. But it is a waste of time and money. The average citizen, with an average education, and an average understanding of causality and its speed of propagation, is still whipped to a frenzy of speculation. Logic and statistics simply bounce off the force field of popular culture.
This phenomenon of UFO detection has nothing to do with our tech signal being detectable, and everything to do with our suggestible citizenry now being able to imagine worlds of that complexity. We only began creating UFOs about the time that our cultural evolution had given us the vocabulary to talk about it - the early 20th century. In other words, UFOs are being created here, on Earth, not in deep space.
I would like all these chapters to be in the future season of Monstrum.

The headless horseman was their first episode
@@HauntedMushroom96 The first video you say discusses the dullahan and not the headless horseman we know, the dullahan is a faerie being and the headless horseman from sleepy hollow is a spiritual or supernatural undead
@@renecorrea892 On the contrary, if you read the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the strong implication is that the headless horseman is neither undead nor spiritual, but in fact Crane's romantic rival, Brom Bones, using his opponent's superstitious nature to scare Crane away. Washington Irving specifically mentions that Bones is a very good horseman and a prankster early in the story, and suggests that he knows what happened to Crane near the end. It's a fun short read, and, like the animated Disney adaptation, clearly more comedy than horror.
I think the greys with black big almond eyes contrasting with white skin color are a result of our brains creating a picture in our minds that we can relate and identify and at the same time keeping us scared because of the unknown facial features. That being caused by sleep paralysis. Just like different people will describe a similar visual experience on acid. Also the gray alien icon became something in our pop culture that most people can recognize, something similar to a skull icon or any other pictogram found on household products. As for the reports of slim body shapes and simple facial features, maybe it's just a suit with velcro being worn by humans or dwarfts.
I got abducted a few years ago. During our conversation I asked them why they had so many bright lights on there aircraft, I suggested if they want to be more stealthy they should turn the lights off. They said they would workshop it.
I’ve tended to find abduction stories compelling mainly because they make a certain sort of sense. Consider what reaching another world in a different solar system (possibly even a different galaxy or dimension) would entail. The first arrivals would most likely be the explorers and scientists. And what would such people do upon arriving in an unfamiliar world…? They’d conduct studies of the local conditions, including flora and fauna. If you look at the format of the typical abduction case, it tends to parallel things that human scientists do with animals here on earth; capture, sedation, intensive medical exams, tag and release. When you get down to it, what the aliens in abductions stories do tends to match with the scientific processes we ourselves practice.
Here's the thing though: these abduction narratives with the probe and release aspect to them became prevalent just as scientists were beginning to do the same to wildlife. Previous to that, aliens in encounter stories did not abduct humans but instead talked to them as equals.
The simplest explanation is that people are liars, have zero sense of self, and over-inflate their sense of importance.
Why would aliens "abduct" up to 4 MILLION Americans, leave the such a huge gap in their cultural specimens by not abducting people from North Korea or Iran or China or Africa or wherever, and then still act like they're stealthy or watching the planet from a distance like it's a big secret.
There's no scientific evidence of aliens for a reason: they don't exist. Scientists would be all over that if it were true. But human psychology, attention seeking and loneliness are more compelling conclusions than giving into the mass delusion of a few who refuse to face reality.
1) What compels these individuals out into the Universe in the first place? Their agenda is far from clear. 2) What do they find so off-putting about humanity that they must arrive cloaked in silence and darkness? 3) If indeed a variety of species from a variety of planets are visiting Earth, why is their pattern so singular and repetitive? 4) Why does their technology seem to fail as often as not? we hear endless stories of crashes in remote forest, deserts, bodies of water. The crafts are in ruins and the mutilated corpses of their (frequently naked) occupants are glimpsed at steering wheels in poses better suited to 1950s cartoons than actual advanced life forms. Finally, when people stumble on these vehicles, there is often no smell of burning reported, no smoke, no charred debris. The incidents seem to make no sense whatsoever in human terms. (Ex. Our astronauts don't use "steering wheels" in their shuttles.) What, if anything, is actually going on?
For a bit of history of supposed encounters with sky-beings (some of it ancient), read Vallee's Passport to Magonia.
I'm actually reading that right now I downloaded the pdf from the internet !
I remember that story of barney and betty. It used to haunt me as a kid.
It's fascinating to hear about the personal experiences of the commenters with UFO sightings and sleep paralysis episodes featuring grey aliens. Understandably, such incidents can be unsettling and stay with you long.
The references to historical UFO sightings and literature and Carl Jung's work on the UFO phenomenon from an archetypal psychology perspective provide an exciting view. Considering different viewpoints and theories regarding such a mysterious and complex topic is always good.
It's essential to keep an open mind regarding the existence of extraterrestrial life and the possibility of alien encounters. Who knows what truths are out there waiting to be discovered? It's exciting to think about what we may learn in the future as technology and research continue to advance.
In the spring of 2010, I was with 2 friends in central Wisconsin at about 10:00 at night. A triangle craft approached us from the east. It lowered down to tree top height and stopped directly over us. I blacked out.. When I woke up, I was standing under the triangle craft as it lifted up, rotated, and went south. I have lots more to share, but I think you get the idea.
I'm not asking for anything except that you consider what I'm reporting. Thanks:)
Consider that your brain is easily duped by imagination when things do not align with expectations. Plus gas leaks, electrical fields, chemical stimulants, stress, mental illness, etc can all cause vivid hallucinations.
Funny now how you covered aliens again, previously it was Martians. Also since you've mentioned Men-in-Black, why not do one based on the reported sightings of these mysterious men that would inspire the comics and the movies, or heck why not reptilians?
Why did she start her timeline in the late 1800s, instead of 1000s of years back? So she could make the argument that it's inspired by relatively recent technologies. She built up a strawman argument to beat it down. Poor work really.
@@rolisreefranch because this is about the idea of aliens ie non-magical beings from space and not gods, fairies or other supernatural beings. She even mentioned that at the beginning of the video
@@rolisreefranch What do you mean?

I've experienced sleep paralysis twice that I can vividly remember and maybe 3 or 4 times in total. The first time was startling, I was stuck lying on the couch and it felt like I was being scanned, like a wave of energy was going up and down my body. The last time was about a year ago, I woke up and realized what was happening and just said to myself "okay no big deal" and eventually I fell back asleep. None felt like alien abduction but I can see how it may to some people.

THANK YOU for giving this the seriousness it deserves. Could have done without the woo-woo music in the background but this is a huge step forward.
Thank you for another fascinating episode.
I hope that you will one day do one about the Scandinavian “Myling”.
Its origins will send chills down the spine all the while giving us a whisper of insight into the hardship women faced back in the day (And still do in some places) For those who don't have sleep on the schedule I recommend diving into the literature. Also related is “Ängla makerskor” (Eng: Angel makers)
Wikipedia says Myling is a ghost formed when a mother abandons a child in the woods to die. It seems like she could have left the child where they could have been found. It wouldn't connect her to the child and it would give the child a chance to live.
@@taylorfusher2997 You don't think a giant tusk from a mammoth or elephant could look like the fang of a venomous snake or the canine of a giant dragon? I think it fits the bill pretty well
Ooooh thank you for my night's rabbit hole topic to go down. I wish Storied was on every day.
@@greywolf7577 see Änglamakerskor (Angel Makers) where the mother paid a woman (often already ostracized from sociaty) to take care of her child and be quite about who gave it to her.
@@i3osco717 You left out the most important part: what became of the bratty, unwanted children? Also the bratty, unwanted husbands of some of those women. It was a genius set-up. The fuzz never interfered as each annoying relative dropped down dead, never to disturb those women again.
I've always seen myself as an enthusiast in this field. I tend to think of encounter/abductions stories, whether told to me in person or seen in other media, as ARGs. And I'm always interested as to whether or not the person is convinced of their own story.
Delusion is another word for it.
Being so sad or lonely to convince oneself as to this fantasy and then openly telling it to others with sincerity.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 Perhaps. I've certainly seen a few folks in this field who are obviously fabricating stories as a "cry for attention" of sorts or who don't really have a lot else going on in their lives. And there are certainly those who really ought to know better - the folk who recount their story and they are the only ones in the room who don't know that they've misinterpreted something mundane.
But, there are those who display the traits of someone who has genuinely been through a life-changing experience, and who haven't obviously mistaken a common occurrence for the extraterrestrial. When you listen to them speak, they are obviously not unintelligent. They have a normal amount of friends, who all have their various opinions of events. I can't help but wonder what combination of events led them to have this experience. Did they have sleep paralysis? Did they have a hallucination influenced by their environment or other external stimulus? Or, is their story legitimately head-scratching?
I'm more here for the journey than the destination.
Every single one i have seen really believes the abduction happened , but some with missing time simply tell there experience and wonder what happened just like we wonder !
@@ijamsum I've always found missing time to be an interesting case. I'm not exactly a fan of hypnosis as a method of "recovering" that lost memory. But, those cases are almost always worth a listen.
Have you gotten into speculative alien biology yet
I picture human-sized pepperpots, each with a plunger appendage and a death ray, an eyestalk that moves with a rotating dome head, hellbent on destroying every last living being that is not them, screeching their infamous war cry in a high-pitched electronic voice.
This just reminded me how much I loved the series "People Of Earth" and how much I wish they would bring it back and finish the story.
If any extra terrestrials have been watching us over the past couple of years, their best course of action is to nope the hell out and leave us to it!
Wasn't there an episode of "The Outer Limits" that aired just a few days before the Barney and Betty abduction that featured aliens that looked very similar to the ones they described?
Yes that's exactly what it was and nothing more. Simply over active imagination fueld by a long drive and lack of sleep and coupled with the episode of the outer limits they both watched caused some sort of hallucination in them. That's the end of the story. The only truth there ever was. I commend you for speaking the correct words. Keep up the good work 👍
@@DropsOfReality85 It was the planet Venus.
@@DropsOfReality85 Still doesn't explain my encounters with the crafts. Nothing in life is black and white. Something is out there. What, who and where they're from. Beats me. I'd guess they're a bit of everything, other planets, different timelines, dimensions etc.
@@bad-bunnyblogger8171- You get any souvenirs? Any pictures that _don't_ look like camera artifacts, out-of-focus blobs, aircraft lights, or birds?
You're seeing something, but not necessarily alien spaceships.
Your grab-bag explanation doesn't explain anything. You want to believe, so you toss out ideas you've heard or read about regardless of the lack of evidence that any of them could be true.
@@julietfischer5056 In 99 I was stood on a football pitch with my local youth football team, midweek training. A craft appeared low on the horizon and its path led directly above our heads. Maximum 300ft in the air and it was half the size of the football pitch.
It was a gunmetal grey disc. It was covered in nooks and crannies. It looked extremely industrial. Silent until directly above and then it was a faint high powered hum. Within the nooks & crannies, was scattered blood red lighting. Creating an uneasy sinister glow.
That was my first sighting. Since then I've seen more and been closer. Other crafts and also the small silent white orbs.
A Great Presentation On UFO's ! Thank You !
I had sleep paralysis one night. I couldn't move or open my eyes. I had a thought about my biggest fears ( due to trying so hard not to think about it in such a fragile state). And I thought of aliens. Suddenly, my ears were filled with static and loud machinery. It was so loud and my heart was racing. I couldn't open my eyes and I wasn't in pain. I had to breathe slowly and wait until it stopped and I was back in my room.
