==Description== ===Appearance=== Greys are typically depicted as grey-skinned, diminutive [[humanoid]] beings that possess reduced forms of, or completely lack, external human body parts such as noses, ears, or [[sex organ]]s.<ref name="AliensAndHybrids">Jacobs, David M. "Aliens and Hybrids." In: Pritchard, Andrea & Pritchard, David E. & Mack, John E. & Kasey, Pam & Yapp, Claudia. ''Alien Discussions: Proceedings of the Abduction Study Conference''. Cambridge: North Cambridge Press. Pp. 86β90. {{ISBN|9780964491700}}</ref> Their bodies are usually depicted as being elongated, having a small chest, and lacking in muscular definition and visible [[skeleton|skeletal]] structure. Their legs are depicted as being shorter and jointed differently from humans with limbs proportionally different from a human.<ref name="AliensAndHybrids" /> Greys are depicted as having unusually large heads in proportion to their bodies with no hair on the body, and no noticeable [[outer ear]]s or noses, sometimes with small openings or [[orifices]] for ears, nostrils, and mouths. In drawings, Greys are almost always shown with very large, opaque, black eyes, without eye whites. They are frequently described as shorter than average adult humans.<ref name="SmithLGM">{{cite book |last1=Smith |first1=Toby |title=Little Grey Men |date=2000 |publisher=University of New Mexico Press |location=USA |isbn=9780826321213 |page=110 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9qSxyR0i6goC&q=large%20eyes |access-date=25 April 2021 |quote=...three and a half feet tall, had large slanting eyes, diminished noses, spindly bodies, long arms and webbed fingers.}}</ref> ===Association with Zeta Reticuli=== The association between Grey aliens and [[Zeta Reticuli]] originated with the [[Barney and Betty Hill incident#Analyzing the star map|interpretation of a map drawn by Betty Hill by a school-teacher named Marjorie Fish]] sometime in 1969.<ref name="AstroHalloween">{{cite web |last1=Dickinson |first1=Terence |title=The Zeta Reticuli (or Ridiculi) Incident |url=https://astronomy.com/bonus/zeta |website=[[Astronomy (magazine)|Astronomy Magazine]] |publisher=[[Kalmbach Media]] |access-date=25 April 2021}}</ref> Betty Hill, under hypnosis, had claimed to have been shown a map that displayed the aliens' home system and nearby stars.<ref name="SaganDemon" /> Upon learning of this, Fish attempted to create a model from a drawing produced by Hill, eventually determining that the stars marked as the aliens' home were Zeta Reticuli, a binary star system.<ref name="AstroHalloween" />
