The most well known alien type among the reports of encounters with otherworldly beings are referred to as the greys. This moniker has been given them for their primary skin color that is usually reported as being greyish to greyish-green. Most of them are shorter than humans, being on average about four foot tall with spindly bodies, oversized heads and very large, solid black eyes. The legs are thin and seem to have an awkward articulation that gives them a waddling sort of gait when they walk. The arms are also thin and are very long, often reaching to the knees. Unlike the reptilian aliens, the greys have long mobile fingers although most reports indicate that they have either three or four fingers that are more wrap-around than requiring an opposable thumb for grasping.

These grey aliens are generally observed doing what appears to be scientific or medical research. They are dispassionate and do not seem to have a great concern or empathy for their test subjects. These shorter, working greys seem to be divided into two distinct subcultures. While some show no particular interest in abductees, a second, more angular in their features, this set of the greys tends to demonstrate a more crude and unfriendly attitude, being almost aggressive in their behavior.

Both are thought to be some type of genetically modified form of the reptilian race that is usually observed as the superiors to the grey aliens. There is a third subset of the basic grey alien type that is taller, averaging around seven-foot. They seem to be trained more in diplomacy and are the ones who actually strive to communicate to a degree. It is thought that these diplomat greys are the ones who have sought out and made contact and maybe agreements with the governments of the world. One thing that seems to be repeatedly reported about the greys is that they have some type of mental or telepathic ability used to sooth and subdue the humans they take into their craft to study.

While there is no solid proof, projections from a star chart obtained through hypnosis from the abductee, Betty Hill, seems to place the origin of the greys as being from a star in the Zeta Reticula system (Bernard's Star) about thirty-nine light years from Earth. They are thus referred to in the alien/ufo study groups as the "Zeta's " or as "Reticulans".
