There is a striking disconnect between what aliens, from outer space are popularly believed to look like, and what is actually reported,
The popular idea, known as “The Grays” are often short and always skinny, with gray skin, big heads, huge bug-like black eyes, and just a slit of a mouth, Creatures like these appear in movies, and on book and magazine covers worldwide, as the generally accepted appearance of “real” aliens from outer space,
More generally speaking though, actual reports of alien encounters have displayed a real variety of weird creatures; some are amazing; some are scary and some are just plain odd.
