Humanoid

Reported entities & creatures

Generic term for any vaguely human-looking being reported in connection with a UFO. Testimonies describe a wide variety of figures: small beings, tall blond beings, hairy creatures, beings in suits. The diversity of descriptions is often cited by skeptics as an argument against a single “type” of extraterrestrial.
