Imagine you are driving in a lone desert and you spotted a huge bright disc shaped UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) landing ahead and the next moment, you saw tiny little creatures stepping out. What will be your reaction?

According to science fiction, aliens are extraterrestrial creatures from other planets having humanoid or reptilian characters. Since there are evidences of the presence of water on some of the planets, there are possibilities of life on those planets. Thus, the argument is "extraterrestrial life exists". There are also abduction stories where many people reported to have been abducted by the aliens. Reports are taken from abductees and eyewitnesses in a hypnotized state. However, eyewitness reports are not solid to prove the existence of aliens. Some believe that aliens have existed long time back and they built the "Pyramids of Egypt". Thus, it is a big question "whether aliens actually exist or not" and the answer is left to everybody

Types of Aliens

It is a common belief that aliens have bigger heads and are quadruped. Let us see some of the types of aliens based on reports shared by people who claim to have a close encounter with the so-called "aliens".

Grey Aliens (Zeta) - Grey aliens have various subtypes depending upon their subtype and the services that they provide. Altogether, they are commonly known as "greys". These are the aliens who abducted Betty and Barney Hill in 1961. According to the eyewitnesses, they are amphibians and look like created clones. They are 3.5-4.5 feet tall with dark grey skin. They have large head with no hair and are supported by a thin neck. Greys have huge black "wraparound" eyes, nose may be present or absent based on the subtype. Their hands are long enough to reach down to the knees but comparatively their legs are shorter. They all have reduced body structures. Many abductees reported that they are emotionless and feed on human and animal fluid.

Reptilians (Reptoids) - Reptilians are highly advanced creatures similar to reptiles on earth. Many abductees reported that reptoids are cruel and dangerous to human beings. They are similar to the greys in size and stature but are more frightening than the greys. Their head is conical in shape; some have hair, while others have scales. They also have an undersized tail. The leader of the reptilians is known as "draco" and it is believed that they have special wings. According to the abductees, they want to have control over human beings and the entire planet.

Human Type Aliens (Nordics) - Human type aliens are highly evolved creatures and are similar to humans of earth except that they have oval shaped, oversized eyes and some other basic differences. They are about 5-6 feet with fair skin and blonde hair. They are believed to be the forefathers of human beings. The male and female Nordics have characteristic features. Females have small breasts, light colored long hair on their heads, which are absent in males. Human male abductees reported that they are forced to have intercourse with the female Nordics for reproduction process. It is assumed that human type aliens are offsprings of abductees, which are being abducted by greys and trained them as their servants.

Even though there are lots of evidences about the existence of aliens, the mystery about aliens still remains. Some people don’t even believe in aliens and regard them as something ridiculous. Some are of the opinion that aliens are real and it could be proved any day.

What do Aliens Look Like?

Aliens are largely described as resembling human beings. Their height is approximately same as the average height of human beings. Like any normal human beings, aliens have a pair of eyes, a nose, a mouth, a pair of arms and a pair of feet. There are citations of aliens having wings or wheels instead of feet and other such abnormalities. It is believed that aliens have a rough lizard-like skin. Their skin colors are believed to vary from gray, white, tan to gold, pink or red. Their skin is believed to glow in the dark. Their eyes are considered to resemble those of humans, lizards or insects. Some have documented aliens as having webbed fingers while others believe that aliens have suction cups for fingertips or claws. Aliens have been documented as being variedly sized and shaped. Some have documented them as 3 inches tall while others say that they are about 15 feet tall. In some places aliens have been documented as being shaped like balls of light, while in other places they have been shown as resembling robots or metal objects. Some believe that aliens look like animals or large insects while some think of aliens as human-like figures clothed in uniforms. Many believe that aliens can float through walls.

There have been accounts of aliens abducting human beings. People have claimed to have been kidnapped by the aliens and been taken away from the terrestrial surroundings. Interestingly, most people who have claimed to have seen aliens or been abducted by them, were able to recall their experiences only though dreams or hypnosis.

Aliens have been believed to travel in flying saucers or spacecrafts, which are closely related to what are called UFOs or Unidentified Objects. People in different parts of the world have reported to have seen UFOs and have considered them as being vehicles carrying the aliens. Different organizations around the world have investigated these incidents but have not been able to derive an exact conclusion about the existence and appearance of the aliens. ‘What do aliens look like’, is still a mystery. Perhaps we will have to wait till the aliens visit Earth, to know how they look!

Real Alien Sightings

Once, a person, let us call him Tony, was waiting in the parking lot of Clifford's Dining Hall for a tow truck to pick his car up. While waiting he was reclining on the hood of his car, gazing at the stars. Near the Big Dipper, Tony saw three objects moving westward across the sky. Within seconds they went out of sight. Tony and his brother-in-law, who accompanied him at the site, have said that the objects might have been aliens as they were sure of them not being commercial aircrafts.

Aliens have been sited in St. Martin in September 1998, according to a person waiting at the St. Martin Airport. He has claimed to have seen fire in the sky on a sunny afternoon in September. He has said that the fire in the sky was at a high altitude and flew over his head. After some time had passed, the fire transformed into a silver ball. The person has said that the ball moved over him at unexplainable speeds like a jet and vanished in a few seconds. The sight left him in amusement and he still wonders that he had witnessed was a spacecraft of the aliens.

Apart from the stories by different people in different parts of the world, unidentified objects have many a time been sited by radars. UFOs have appeared in daytime sky as well as during the dark nights, when they have appeared as ovals, discs or cigar-shaped objects. Those seen in the night sky have been in debate because people have speculated them being stars, meteors or aircraft lights.

Sometime ago, strange events took place in New Mexico. Many people in and around Roswell, New Mexico saw a UFO crash and claim to have witnessed the crash victims. The supposed crash was seen by many and hence cannot be disregarded as fake.

In October 2002, a group of people on a holiday in Southern Chile had found a tiny humanoid creature. It measured only 7.2 meters long and had a relatively larger head and two arms with long fingers. The creature also had two legs. Mega News service, a local news channel reported this discovery.

Another alien sighting in Chile, was the one experienced by Eduardo Vega with his brother. In one of his interviews, he has said that he and his brother saw a humanoid creature that was about 80 cm tall, shiny and red in color. The creature looked like a child wearing a driver's suit. The humanoid figure stood motionless for a few minutes as sparks came out of its head. Amazement and fear struck Eduardo and his brother, when they realized it must be an alien.

Another real alien sighting is the famous case of Jesse Long being abducted by some unidentified creatures. He reports to have been kidnapped for the first time during his childhood too. He says that the aliens hypnotized him and also forced him to cross breed with them. Another alien abduction video shows a company worker vanish following a flash of light and return after some time in a fetal position. The security camera of the company claims to have captured the video of this alien abduction. Recent news has showed animals being taken in by flying saucers. The news channel reports to have brought before the world, a case of alien abduction of animals. The truth behind the sightings of alien abduction is still a mystery.

Aliens are in the news and shall always keep the media abuzz, until they make a public appearance on Earth with intimation in advance to us, Earthlings!
