 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.
