The Species the CIA Said Was Taking Our People | Linda Moulton Howe
An alleged CIA briefing names five alien species—and reveals the chilling claim that the familiar grey beings may be manufactured creatures abducting humans
What if the beings described in alien abduction stories were never the ones in control?
For decades, Linda Moulton Howe has followed some of the most controversial claims surrounding UFOs and secret government programmes.
Now, one alleged briefing points towards something even stranger.
The story begins in 1981.
Only months after Ronald Reagan became president, he was allegedly taken to Camp David for a secret briefing.
Five extraterrestrial civilisations were reportedly discussed.
And one was allegedly considered hostile.
But the most unsettling claim comes next.
The familiar grey beings seen in countless alien abduction accounts may not be a species at all.
They may have been manufactured.
The Five Alien Species Named In the Briefing

According to the alleged briefing, five extraterrestrial civilizations were presented to Reagan.
Our True Ancestors Are Ancient Extraterrestrials That Left Our Planet 20,000 Years Ago
Each was said to have different characteristics.
Some were reportedly peaceful.
Others were viewed with suspicion.
But one group allegedly stood apart.
The Ebens were described as beings connected to Zeta Reticuli, roughly 40 light-years from Earth.
Then comes the remarkable claim about the Greys.
They may not have been the intelligence behind the encounters.
Instead, Howe suggests they could have been biological clones or android-like workers.
That would completely change the familiar alien abduction story.
The beings seen by experiencers may have been the workforce—not the architects.
Even their enormous black eyes receive a different explanation.
According to the theory, they could function as sophisticated lenses capable of seeing beyond ordinary human wavelengths.
And if that were true, the question becomes much bigger.
Who was giving them their orders?
The Strange Truth Behind Alien Abduction Claims
The story becomes stranger when alleged technology enters the picture.
One claim involves a mysterious crash retrieval in Missouri.
It supposedly happened years before Roswell.
Another account describes a device allegedly connected to Los Alamos.
Then comes the possibility of extraordinary propulsion.
The theory invokes concepts resembling Alcubierre’s warp drive and hypothetical space tunnels.
Such ideas could theoretically transform interstellar travel.
A journey of 40 light-years could look very different if such technology were ever possible.
Then another alleged encounter enters the story.
In 1961, a non-human body was reportedly recovered in Canada.
According to the account, it remained under observation until its death the following year.
But the strangest claim may involve Epsilon Eridani.
The alleged hostile species was said to be capable of altering its appearance.
It could supposedly pass as a human.
Then comes a detail that reaches thousands of years into the past.
A figure associated with an alleged 1964 New Mexico landing has been compared with the ancient Mesopotamian god Shamash.
The resemblance has become one of the most intriguing parts of Howe’s argument.
Final Verdict: Who Was Really Behind the Encounters?
This is where the mystery meets the historical record.
The alleged Reagan briefing has never been independently authenticated as a genuine government document.
The Serpo material remains highly disputed.
No verified evidence currently confirms the five alien species described in the story.
That distinction matters.
So does the evidence surrounding the alleged crash recoveries and non-human bodies.
They remain extraordinary claims rather than established historical events.
The connection to Shamash is equally fascinating.
But visual resemblance cannot prove that the same being appeared thousands of years apart.
The physics is also more complicated than the story suggests.
Warp-drive concepts exist in theoretical physics, but there is no confirmed evidence that extraterrestrial craft use them.
Still, the central possibility remains compelling.
What if some reported encounters involved intermediaries rather than the intelligence behind them?
For now, we simply do not know.
But that unanswered question is precisely why these claims continue to fascinate researchers, investigators, and UFO experiencers around the world.

If the Grey beings were merely intermediaries, who—or what—could be behind the encounters described by experiencers?
