List of non-terrestrial intelligent beings
.
This is a list of claimed species or types of aliens spanning extraterrestrial, cryptoterrestrial, interdimensional, intertemporal (future-timeline), and non-corporeal. Numerous compilations and catalogs, as well as taxonomical information, have been published (e.g., Elena Danaan (A Gift from the Stars, 2020, ~110 species; Encyclopedia Galactica, 2024) Alex Collier; Craig Campobasso's The Extraterrestrial Species Almanac (2021) anonymous Alien Races compendium), based on investigations of close encounter reports, contactee accounts, channeled literature, claims of alleged participants of and witnesses to black programs (including secret space program), and other evidence. The total number of distinct types of civilizations interacting with Earth has been claimed to range from none to over 1,000, with most overviews focusing on phenotype-based classes such as Greys, reptilians, Pleiadians/Nordics,. No NHI beings of any type have been publicly proven to exist.
