We're finally going to get a chance
to synthesize a real picture of the Grays,
not just case by case by case.
But what's behind the cases?
What's the common ground?
Where are all these stories coming from?
And why does the image of the Grays
look alike from story to story?
I'll tell you why they look alike, because it's
straight out of a movie--
"Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
Oh, really?
Well, then how can you explain this?
"Close Encounters of the Third Kind" is a 1970s movie.
Betty and Barney Hill described that Gray in 1961.
I'm struggling to deal with just extraterrestrial crafts
being on the planet Earth.
And now I have to investigate the creatures
that are actually flying them?
Well, you're just going to have to take baby steps, Ted.
Yeah, it's a big step.
We've had descriptions of Grays for over 40 years.
There was the Roswell incident, "Outer Limits,"
"Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
There was the alien autopsy.
But the real description under hypnosis
came from Betty and Barney Hill, who
in 1961 claimed that they were abducted by gray alien beings.
This description was the foundation
for all the later depictions of the Grays on television--
large head, four and half feet tall, long, skinny,
squiggly arms, thin legs, no nose, a slit for a mouth.
Who are these Grays?
But more important, why are they here?
We are in remote British Columbia near the town of 100
Mile House.
We're going to meet with Miriam Delicado
to hear about her encounters with Grays.
It was October 1998.
We were driving in northern British Columbia.
And all of a sudden, out of absolutely nowhere,
these lights appeared behind the car.
It was almost as wide as two lanes.
We actually thought that they were a big truck or something.
The lights started popping on and off.
The girl driving started to get really afraid.
And then all of a sudden, out of absolutely nowhere,
I said to her, pull over the car.
It's not you they want.
It's me.
What possessed you to say that?
I really didn't know at that point.
Miriam's story-- it's very interesting,
but I find a little far-fetched, because she was in a car
with three other people.
None of them saw what she saw.
None of them experienced what she experienced.
They just don't remember it, period.
I was just about ready to grab the steering wheel because she
didn't want to pull over.
And her head tilted to the side, and she just pulled over.
Did she pull over voluntarily?
Something must have been guiding
her because all of a sudden she became very quiet.
Once the car was in the stopped position, nobody in the car
was moving at that point.
Suspended animation is the way I describe it.
In front, these short Grays were walking towards me.
And they were about three and a half feet tall,
a little bit larger, bulbous type of heads with the round
black eyes.
There was no features on them that distinguished one
from the other.
And then I start hearing a voice in my head.
And it was, OK, get out of the car.
Do not be afraid.
We will not harm you.
My hands started reaching to the handle.
I'm thinking, why am I doing this?
I got out of the car.
They walked towards me, and they took me by the hand.
They were really cold, and it wasn't like warmth from, you
know, a person or an animal.
It was cold.
But wouldn't a normal reaction be to run for your life
or pull yourself away from little beings that
are dragging you into a ship?
[CHUCKLES] Absolutely, but there was no conversation other
than, do not be afraid, we will not harm you, which
did actually calm me down.
This is very interesting what Miriam is saying
about the Grays calming her.
Maybe they have some way of doing this.
Perhaps telepathy's involved.
They just simply took me by the hand,
led me down the highway.
When I looked up, I saw a very large craft probably
about 40 or 50 feet across.
And right at the doorway were these two tall,
blond-haired, blue-eyed aliens.
Nothing like the Grays?
Absolutely nothing like them whatsoever.
These short Grays that had been with me just let go of my hand,
and I walked on board the craft with the two tall blonds.
What's the relationship of the Grays
that took you from the car to these tall blonds?
I would say that these Grays were their helpers.
When you say Grays, it's not just one
species of extraterrestrial.
There are many, many different species of them.
What we heard from Miriam is that this species
was obviously totally servile, almost robotic like.
We walked on board this craft, and they
sat me down on this chair.
And in front of me came a screen out of thin air.
And then they started showing me all of these different images
of catastrophes on the planet--
earthquakes, solar flares, war.
And I was shown all of these different--
what I believe is sort of like timelines and paths
that humanity could take.
And then I was explained how, if we came together as a species,
that we would be able to avoid any and all of these events.
It was explained to me that they are the caretakers
of this earth and that their purpose in being here
is to help enlighten us, make us aware of who we are,
and to make sure that we do not destroy
ourselves or the planet.
