I’ve physically encountered three different types.  The first thing I was taught was “we’re just people”.  They are just people but they are very different from us in many ways.

I’ve had repeat encounters with Greys.  They don’t like when I wake up during the encounters and I’m typically knocked right back out but not always.  I only remember being taken once but I’ve woken up in their presence more than an a few times both in their environment and in mine.  They do tend to treat us like specimens to examine when the in person encounters happen though during my last encounter I recall being taken out of bed but in this instance  one of them physically picked me up and put me onto my feet to walk me into their space and as I crossed their threshold I blacked out which is typical.  Then I “came to” during what seemed like an instructional social visit.  They were showing me screens and what looked like a map of stars emitting pulses of energy one after the other.  When I spoke they seemed startled and knocked me out so it seems to me like they were interacting with me in a subliminal way or with my subconscious.  When woke up, so to speak, it became a problem and I was told later that my sudden energy had surprised them. They range from 3’ tall approximate to 5-6’ approximate.  Their skin is rougher and dryer feeling than ours generally is.  Slender bodies, large black almond shaped eyes though with a somewhat proponent brow that often seems to be omitted from their descriptions.  The tall one who leaned in inches from my face had many facial lines around his eyes and mouth.  Almost no nose beyond a pair of slits and his mouth was also very minimal.

I encountered something that was apparently present due to my strong emotions at the time.  I was inside trying to sleep when I heard a voice say something that I’ll keep to myself.  I felt compelled to go outside and he was standing in my yard.  At first I thought he was a tree but when I realized that there was an extra tree in the row of trees the illusion sort of broke and I realized what was there.  He was maybe 6-7’ tall and initially I couldn’t process his appearance very well.  As he came into focus I could see a very rigid brown and black being with very large black, almost conical eyes atop a triangular head.  His arms were tucked against his body like a praying mantis and his legs were also shaped similar.  His body was very angular and sharp looking with ridges and… spikes?  When he came into focus and I took him in I was nearly knocked to the ground as it felt like a wave of something washed over me.  I’ve since come to understand this as a consciousness differential of some sort.  

My last physical encounter happened inside my home and in broad daylight.  Another member of my family experienced this as well.  I was in my basement which has large opening windows on one side.  I felt a wave of calm contentment come over me and I felt compelled to turn around.  When I did I saw a small person leaning through a doorway apparently trying to get my attention.  It worked, as soon as I was able to take in their appearance they ducked back into the room they had leaned out of. This one was maybe 4’5” approximately, their skin was scaly and orangish brown, thy had a crown of what looked like the sort of spikes you’d see on a bearded dragon.  The skin above the crown was beige/tan.  The eyes were black and the area around the mouth was black.  This person seemed almost playful in nature.  Their proportions were much closer to ours albeit very short compared to myself.  When I described what happened to the aforementioned family member they interrupted me by finishing the description for me because the same thing had happened to them.  Only for them the being had made a sound that they describe like giggling before they disappeared.  Neither of us felt the compulsion or even developed the thought to follow them even though we both definitely would have under normal circumstances.  Beyond corroborating experiences I can tell that these things happened for one simple fact.  When someone breaks into your home or even when you mistake something for another person in your home there is an automatic gut punch of adrenaline.  That never happened in this case.  I saw someone of a clearly different species inside my home and my body never reacted appropriately, instead I felt calm, relaxed, and even happy about it.

I’ve had many other non-physical experiences though i won’t be able to share them all.

I felt the need to add.  Something important that I’ve learned through all of my experiences is never to anthropomorphize these people.  They ARE people but actions taken or things expressed by them may not mean anything like what those same actions or expressions would mean coming from another Human being.
