From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inufology,Nordic alienis the name given to allegedhumanoidextraterrestrials,purported to come from thePleiades(i.e.,Pleiadians), who resembleNordic-Scandinavians.[1]

Allegedcontacteesdescribe them as being 6–7 ft (1.8–2.1 m) tall with longblond hair,blue eyes,[2]andfair skin.[3][2][4]

George Adamskiis credited with being among the first to claim contact with Nordic aliens in the mid-1950s. Scholars note that the mythology of extraterrestrial visitation from beings with features described as "Aryan"often include claims oftelepathy,benevolence,and physicalbeauty.[5][6][1]

History

[edit]

Cultural historianDavid J. Skalwrote that early stories of Nordic-type aliens may have been partially inspired by the 1951 filmThe Day the Earth Stood Still,in which an extraterrestrial arrives onEarthto warn humanity about the dangers ofatomic weapons.[6]Bates Collegeprofessor Stephanie Kelley-Romano described alien abduction beliefs as "a living myth", and notes that, among believers, Nordic aliens "are often associated withspiritual growthand love and act as protectors for the experiencers. "[5]

In contactee and ufology literature, Nordic aliens are often described as benevolent or even "magical" beings who want to observe and communicate with humans and are concerned about the Earth'secologyor prospects forworld peace.Believers also ascribe telepathic powers to Nordic aliens,[4]and describe them as "paternal, watchful, smiling, affectionate, and youthful".[2]

During the 1950s, many people alleging to be contactees, especially those in Europe, claimed encounters with beings fitting this description. Such claims became relatively less common in subsequent decades, as thegrey aliensupplanted the Nordic in most alleged accounts of extraterrestrial encounters.[4]
