Grey

Greys are alien demons (Source: Karla Turner, PhD. Masquerade of Angels (1994) ) who watch human activities. In Bible times, they were called "Watchers". In the Muslim world they are "Djinn" (Source: I Remember Lemuria (1945); Santori (2014), p.27). It was proposed in 1974's December issue of Astronomy that Grey beings might have come from Zeta Reticuli, but the purported evidence was refuted by astrophysicist Carl Sagan and Steven Soter in Cosmos 1980.

Background
One of the earliest Western literary descriptions of a "Grey" is in The Shaver Mysteries (1941) by Richard Sharpe Shaver. Shaver warned about them being underground dwellers and in later editions gave them the proper name "Dero", which according to Shaver, happens to be a pun, and not their real name. The underground lore of Greys can even be traced to H. G. Wells' Time Machine (1895).

The name "Grey" is a moniker based on the coloration of their skin that came into popular use since the 1980s (Goldberg, Yale, 2008, p.165). They have been described under various proper names in The Shaver Mysteries (1941) by Richard Sharpe Shaver, The Roswell Incident (1980) by Moore and Berlitz, Crash at Corona (1992) by Berliner and Friedman, and The Day After Roswell (1996) by Philip J. Corso.

Various images of Greys have come into the popular imagination and mass media to represent the archetypal Flying Saucer-using, memory-erasing alien visitor who abducts subjects to study them.

Biology
In Fortean theories, the relationship between Greys and other races such as Reptoids is usually more complex, although it's frequently believed that the Greys themselves might be both reptilian and genetically-engineered in origin, and that they're employed; or in some sources explicitly enslaved; to act as a researching workforce and do the other race's bidding. Conversely, alternate ideas abound, including some picturing the Greys as benevolent, time-traveling descendants of Humans whose main purpose is to monitor and guide the development of their ancestors.

In the majority of UFO cases, the Greys have been consistently described as short, thin humanoids with grey and hairless skin and a conspicuously large cranium. Their eyes are large, black and almond-shaped, and their facial features are restricted to a pair of small slits in the place of the nose, and a small mouth. Their fingers are usually long and dexterous. Their bodies are proportionally small, and they don't appear to have genitals, which is noticeable due to the fact that they don't wear clothes. In some cases, they have been reported as capable of telepathy.

The body of Greys are more or less considered a vessel for higher dimensional beings to act in a lower density environment like the earth. An Is-Be in a Grey body can leave or invade this vessel according to their will much like an avatar. It is mostly designed to be a tool for example to steer spaceships, like an interface between an Is-Be and a machine. An Is-Be can control none, one or even more Grey vessels at the same moment. There are a couple of different alien races who use Grey bodies to focus energy in lower densities.

Culture and society
In Dante Santori's book of demons, Santori lists several Grey alien demon groups. All of these are considered the Igigi, beings who were created by the Anunnaki, and used as slaves or servants to do their bidding (Santori, 2014, p.31). The Anunnaki demon leaders are Samael and Lilith (Santori, 2014, sec. Anunakene, p.46).


 * Akart, who revere Sextans constellation and who was sighted in Brazil, 1996. The abduction of Artur Berlet is one of the most famous Akart cases.
 * Volac's Seal.png Allgruulk, or Al-Gruualix, or Ualuc (Arabic-German: Al gräulich, meaning "The greyish, ghoulish, horrid"), are "builder" Greys who promote transgenderisation. According to Santori, they revere the Luminous Giant Star, Deneb Kaitos Shemali. This is a pun for their interests in "she-mali" or "she-male", which is part of the Anunnaki "sex cultivation" programme promoted by Pleyadians (Worshipers of the ancient chaos god—Erra).
 * Graysli, who revere the Virgo zodiac and who have influenced the building of Djoser Pyramid.
 * Lang, who have three major colonies and conduct mass abductions. They revere the celestial arrangement in the modern day Coma Berenices constellation.
 * Moovian or Molochian (Bovine headed), who revere Vulpecula ("little fox") constellation, have at least fourty colonies and engage in governmental "agreements" which allow them to abduct humans with government support, shielded by "coverups". In ancient times, there were no coverups. Everyone complied with virgin and/or child sacrifices to appease the Gods.
 * Solipsi Rai, a two billion year old race who revere constellation Cygnus and whose leader is Ymartyyn
 * Tykut, a race created by the Maitre (Anunnaki) to be used as slaves (Igigi) and carry out abductions (of humans).
 * Zeta Reticulans who revere the Net constellation (a nomenclature pun for harvesting mass human abductions like a "fisherman's net"). They are allied with the Anunnaki who are known to have installed "Zetas" as Pharoahs in Egypt. Zeta is the sixth letter in the Greek alphabet, like 666.
