Below is a curated “who’s-who” of claimed Non-Human Intelligences, or NHI beings drawn from three overlapping testimony streams: (1) officials and military-linked insiders, (2) contactees and abductees, and (3) channelers. For this overview list we are treating credible testimony as meaningful, while still labeling what is being claimed vs. what is being inferred.
Cross-source entity archetypes that recur across testimony
Grey-type beings
Common labels: Greys, Zeta Reticulans, “small Greys,” “tall Greys,” biological “operators.”
Claimed interaction: abductions, medical examinations, telepathy, hybridization programs, memory effects.
Where the claims cluster: abductee/contactee testimony; hypnosis-mediated narratives; some “insider” frameworks; some military-adjacent secondhand briefings, Hopi tribe folklore flood narrative.
Nordic-type beings
Common labels: Nordics, Tall Blondes.
Claimed interaction: face-to-face contacts, warnings about nuclear conflict or ecological disaster, spiritual and ethical messaging, occasional physical presence in craft windows/ports, guidance narratives, “human like” appearance.
Where the claims cluster: 1950s–present contactee testimony; some officials repeating secondhand briefings; channeling lineages.
A major channeling line explicitly frames “Pleiadians” as the communicators. (Simon & Schuster)
Reptilian-type beings
Common labels: Reptilians, Draconians, Draco group
Claimed interaction: long-duration covert presence, influence operations, intimidation, hybridization, “underground” associations, and occasional abduction overlap.
Where the claims cluster: contactee testimony; experiencer lore; some insider narratives, and a
compiled roster describes “Reptilians” as long-present on Earth, technologically advanced, and sometimes shapeshifting.
Mantid / insectoid beings
Common labels: Mantids, Insectoids, “praying mantis” entities
Claimed interaction: supervisory role during abductions, heightened telepathy, “clinical” detachment, sometimes perceived as higher-ranking than Greys
Where the claims cluster: abductee testimony, especially later-era accounts (1980s onward)
“Tall White” / human-presenting beings
Common labels: Tall Whites, human-presenting NHI, “near-human” types
Claimed interaction: base-adjacent encounters, structured contact protocols, occasional integration with military contexts, social rules governing proximity and behavior
Where the claims clusters: contactee testimony centered on Charles J. Hall, reinforced by talks, interviews, and a multi-volume memoir series, plus derivative documentaries and commentary based on those accounts. (AbeBooks, YouTube)
Hybrid beings
Common labels: human-Grey hybrids, reproductive or lineage claims, “training” and staged social scenes, “program children,” crossbreeds, intergenerational lines.
Claimed interaction: reproductive agenda, staged social settings, “training” scenarios, long-term family-line monitoring
Where the claims cluster: abductee testimony; researchers and investigators compiling family-line casework (often contested outside the experiencer community)
“Men in Black” style entities
Common labels: Men in Black, human-mimic visitors, “odd” officials, emotionless interrogators
Claimed interaction: intimidation, message enforcement, evidence suppression, behavioral manipulation
Where the claims cluster: close-encounter aftermath reports and experiencer narratives
A compiled roster equates a “Tall White” group with “Men in Black” behaviors via shape-shifting claims.
Energy, “light-being,” or orb intelligences
Common labels: Orbs, plasma beings, light forms, non-corporeal intelligences
Claimed interaction: signaling, escorting craft, appearing during altered states, “downloads”
Where the claims cluster: contact modalities, meditation-based contact claims, some close encounters featuring luminous spheres
Folkloric-continuity beings (mapped to NHI)
Common labels: Fae, “little people,” elves, trickster entities
Claimed interaction: abductions/missing time in pre-modern language, mind effects, taboo/threshold rules
Where the claims cluster: experiencer interpretations and historical/anthropological continuity arguments – Jacques Vallée’s “Passport to Magonia” is a top reference here.
Named groups that dominate channeling and contactee lineages
These names often function like “exopolitical or political banners”, or affiliations, and sometimes overlap with the archetypes above.
Pleiadian Entities
Claimed interaction: “Nordic-like” presentation, spiritual-development messaging, contactee instruction narratives. (Simon & Schuster)
Primary testimony streams: contactees and channelers.
Arcturians
Claimed interaction: “spiritual teachers,” advanced civilization framing, healing and consciousness-development claims – usually framed as benevolent, technology-plus-consciousness teachers.
Primary testimony streams: channeling and initiated-contact groups.
Sirians
Claimed interaction: contact messages framed through ancient-cultural parallels connected to Earth, “teacher” narratives, occasional origin stories tied to mythology.
Primary testimony streams: contactees and esoteric lineages.
Andromedans
Claimed interaction: typically framed as non-interference, telepathic, peace-oriented, non-interference ideology, “knowledge transfer” narratives.
Primary testimony streams: contactee and channeling lines.
Higher Orion Group
Claimed interaction: “lovers of knowledge and structure,” often framed as orderly or civilization-building (frequently split into “higher” and “lower” factions in channeling taxonomies).
Primary testimony streams: channeling cosmologies and contactee faction models.
Lower Orion Group
Claimed interaction: hostile or coercive encounters, “negative entity” framing, fear and manipulation motifs.
Primary testimony streams: experiencer narratives and faction-based channeling taxonomies.
Lyran Beings
Claimed interaction: origin-civilization or ancestral narrative, cultural impact claims, “seed” lineages. (often presented as a “founder” or ancestral civilization in New Age cosmologies)
Primary testimony streams: channeling and contactee mythos-building.
Zeta Reticuli connection to The Greys
Claimed interaction: same “Grey-type” morphology, but taller, with origin attribution to Zeta Reticuli, sometimes split into subtypes (small vs tall, etc.).
Primary testimony streams: abductee accounts plus interpretive overlays from researchers and channelers.
Anunnaki
Claimed interaction: ancient intervention narratives, genetic manipulation motifs, civilizational “uplift” or control claims.
Primary testimony streams: ancient-text interpretation, modern experiencer lore, and some channeling frameworks.
Blue Avians
Claimed interaction: visionary or “benevolent protector” narratives, often delivered via channeled cosmology rather than direct physical encounter claims.
Primary testimony streams: New Age contact reports and channeling ecosystems.
Vega system Entities
Claimed interaction: origin-attribution claims (Vega), occasional “teacher” framing, sometimes linked to broader star-nation maps.
Primary testimony streams: contactee and channeling narratives.
Shape-shifting Entities
Claimed interaction: mimicry (human-presenting), perceptual manipulation, intimidation visits, identity ambiguity.
Primary testimony streams: close-encounter aftermath reports, experiencer lore, and some “insider” narratives.
Other Entities and Groups
- “Ra” / Law of One communicator (non-human identity presented as a teaching source via channeling sessions). (Internet Archive)
- Venusians / “Space Brothers” (classic 1950s contactee era; the Adamski lineage is the best-known publishing anchor). (lib.usm.edu)
- “Galactic Federation” / “Confederation” / “Ashtar Command” labels (organizational umbrellas used in many contact narratives) (NASA)
Whistleblower JP (Jorge Pabon) Redacted interviews Dec. 2025
Source context
In two long-form interviews broadcast on Redacted (December 19 and 20, 2025), retired U.S. Army veteran Cpl. Jorge Pabon publicly identified himself and described alleged participation in classified multinational programs involving direct interaction and operational coordination with multiple NHI types. His testimony is notable for:
- Being on-camera, named, and contemporaneous
- Being a vetted and retired veteran
- Providing role-specific descriptions of different NHI morphologies
- Explicitly describing collaboration mechanics, not merely sightings
- Aligning with long-standing contactee taxonomies already present in UAPedia
Primary documentation:
- Interview Part 1 transcript (Youtube)
- Interview Part 2 transcript (Youtube)
Species-specific mappings from Pabon testimony
Nordics (human-presenting NHI)
Role described: Supervisory, administrative, and training authority
Interaction mode: Direct, physical, face-to-face
Operational context:
- Oversight of underwater and off-world facilities (“arcs”)
- Training of human military personnel, including pilots
- Command or stewardship roles in joint environments
Pabon repeatedly identifies Nordic-appearing beings as:
- “In charge” of certain facilities
- Cooperative with multinational human forces
- Calm, authoritative, and directive
This testimony directly reinforces existing Nordic / Tall White overlap discussions, while distinguishing Nordics as decision-makers rather than auxiliaries.
Mantids / Insectoid / “Ant People”
Role described: Subterranean civilization and technical collaborators
Interaction mode: Observed directly in underground or underwater contexts
Operational context:
- Inner-Earth or deep-facility environments
- Historical continuity with Indigenous traditions (Hopi “Ant People”)
Pabon describes beings with:
- Insectoid morphology
- Large eyes
- Head structures resembling antennae or tendrils
He explicitly connects them to ancient human survival narratives, placing Mantids as a long-term Earth-resident NHI, not a recent arrival.
Greys
Role described: Peripheral or limited-access entities
Interaction mode: Observed at distance, unclear collaboration
Operational context:
- Security or transactional settings
- Possible intermediaries rather than partners
Notably, Pabon states:
“I don’t think we have a connection with the Greys. I think they want a connection with us (the military).”
This positions Greys outside the core collaboration structure, aligning with other testimony that frames them as operators, petitioners, or constrained participants, rather than full partners.
Tall Whites / Human-presenting NHI
Role described: Integrated presence in shared facilities
Interaction mode: Physical, visually indistinguishable from humans at times
Operational context:
- Underground cities and bases
- Joint human-NHI work environments
While Pabon uses the term “Nordics” more frequently, his descriptions of height, appearance, integration, and adaptive presentation are fully consistent with the Tall White classification used in UAPedia and in the work of Charles J. Hall.
This allows Tall Whites to be cross-referenced as a sub-type or operational class within the broader Nordic/human-presenting category, rather than treated as an isolated case.
Reptilian beings (indirect governance reference)
Role described: Not directly encountered
Interaction mode: Inferred through control structures and “bad actor” factions nomitation
Operational context:
- Coercive enforcement
- Weaponized technology misuse
- Intimidation of human personnel
Pabon repeatedly distinguishes between:
- Cooperative, rule-bound NHI
- Aggressive, coercive, human-aligned or non-aligned groups
While he does not explicitly name “Reptilians,” his descriptions map cleanly onto how Reptilian entities are framed elsewhere in the taxonomy: as non-transparent power actors, often associated with intimidation, secrecy enforcement, and predatory behavior.
For UAPedia purposes, this testimony should be cited as contextual reinforcement, not direct identification.
Comparative analysis of reported NHI species (Editorial)
This taxonomy entry is effectively the “bridge page” where we can harmonize contradictions: when two names may describe one morphology, when one “species” may be a role (operator, handler, messenger), and how contact modality (abduction vs channeling) shapes what witnesses think they met. We plan to keep this page updated with external and internal links to serve as this bridge to the subject.
Claims Taxonomy
Because this is a cross-tradition roster (not a single incident with chain-of-custody evidence), the cleanest classification is:
- Grey-type beings: Probable (official first-hand witness testimony, high convergence across independent experiencer testimony)
- Nordic/Pleiadian-type beings: Probable (direct encounters credible testimony, recurs strongly in contactee and channeling lines)
- Mantid/insectoid beings: Probable (direct encounters credible testimony, recurs in modern abductee testimony, often as “supervisors”)
- Tall Whites / human-presenting: Probable (now supported by multiple independent testimony streams)
- Reptilian/Draco: Disputed (high impact claims, uneven corroboration, strong narrative divergence)
- Folkloric-continuity beings (fae/jinn/elves like creatures mapped to NHI): Disputed (cases linked to ancient and modern UAP contact patterns)
Speculation Labels
Hypothesis
Many “species names” may be human-made labels for overlapping morphologies, roles, or presentation strategies rather than discrete biological civilizations.
NHI categories may reflect functional roles within a shared system rather than strictly biological “species.”
Witness Interpretation
“Spiritual teacher” vs. “predator” framing often tracks the experiencer’s context, perceived intent, and aftereffects as much as the entity’s objective behavior.
Spiritual framing may reflect how humans cognitively integrate high-strangeness encounters rather than literal theological identity.
Researcher Opinion
Where “factions” (Federation vs. Orion, Council vs. parasites) appear, it often mirrors human political metaphors that help witnesses describe asymmetric power relationships.
Pabon’s testimony provides one of the clearest role-based differentiation models yet described by a named, retired military witness.
