The genuinely small "Short Grey" of Bellatrix and Rigel, shown at its source-confirmed height — distinct from the much taller Bellatricians.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
BELLATRIX GREYS (SHORT TYPE)
Two genuinely distinct reptilian types trace back to the same star, Bellatrix, in Orion’s shoulder — a towering, richly-documented Dinoid-Reptoid nation known as the Bellatricians, and a separate, much smaller, thinly-documented “Short Grey” type — and this entry exists specifically to describe the latter without borrowing details that belong to the former.
Name: Bellatrix Grey (Short/Type C)
AKA: Type C Grey. Note: “Bellatricians” is NOT an AKA of this entity — it names a separate, much taller (8-10 ft) Dinoid-Reptoid nation from a different, more thoroughly-documented source (Sheldan Nidle’s Galactic Federation material), covered in its own corrected entry.
Location – Home System: Bellatrix (Gamma Orionis) and, per source, also reported from Rigel.
Distance from Earth: Approximately 112 light years (Bellatrix), per general reference material on the system.
Attitude: Per source, extremely aggressive; believed to be the most dangerous of the Grey types.
Motives: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
Physical Appearance: Per source (Branton/Exopaedia “Short Grey” classification): short, unusually muscular — described as “body-builder” versions of Standard Greys — suspected of reptilian/saurian ancestry. Not reported in any source or fabricated: the detailed crest/ear/tail/finger description used in the prior version of this page, which belongs to the separate, taller Bellatrician profile and has been removed from this entry.
- Average Height: Approximately 3.5 feet, per source. (The prior version’s “1.5 feet” is not supported by any source and has been corrected.)
- Average Weight: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Body Temperature: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Pulse/Respiration: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Blood Pressure: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Life Expectancy: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Hair: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Skin: Suspected reptilian/saurian per source; no further detail given.
- Eyes: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Sex: Undocumented.
Other Physical Information: Per source, notably more muscular than Standard Greys — a “body-builder” build. No crest, ear, tail, or hand detail is documented for this specific type; those details belong to the separate Bellatrician profile.
Special Traits and Abilities: Not reported in any source or fabricated. The “six million years in command of Alliance forces” and diplomatic/leadership framing belong to the separate Bellatrician entry and have been removed here.
Communication Type: Not reported in any source or fabricated for this specific type.
Origin: Undocumented beyond association with Bellatrix and Rigel.
Life Form Type: Suspected saurian/reptilian Grey, per source.
Subspecies: Classified in source tradition as “Short Grey” or “Type C” Grey.
Most Common Species: Undocumented beyond the general “Short Grey” classification.
Level of Species: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
Habits: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
Transportation Type: Not reported in any source or fabricated for this specific type; the “dew-drop”/”tadpole” craft descriptions belong to the separate Bellatrician entry and have been removed here.
Witnesses Reports: Abduction literature associates this Grey type with a reported “sulfuric,” burnt-match-like odor noted by some abductees prior to visual contact; no further named, traceable witnesses located.
Special Features/Characteristics: Short, stubby, wrinkled/aged-looking facial features, per source; unusually muscular build for a Grey type.
Summary/Description: The “Short Grey” or “Type C” Grey is a distinct, thinly-documented reptilian/saurian Grey type associated with both Bellatrix and Rigel — notably smaller and more muscular than Standard Greys, and considered among the most aggressive Grey types in the wider exopolitical taxonomy. It should not be confused with the much taller, far more thoroughly documented Bellatricians of Sheldan Nidle’s Galactic Federation material, despite the shared association with the Bellatrix system.

Related Cases: Bellatricians (separate, taller Dinoid-Reptoid nation, same home star, different source tradition); Rigel Greys; Standard Greys.
DETAILED REPORT
This entry required a full rebuild rather than a light correction. The original page’s detailed physical description — bony head crest, smooth circular ear remnants, six-fingered clawed hands, a short crocodile-like tail, coarse guttural speech — is genuinely sourced, but not to a “Short Grey” tradition at all. That description, along with the “six million years commanding Alliance forces” claim and the dew-drop/tadpole craft details, belongs word-for-word to Sheldan Nidle’s Galactic Federation material describing the Bellatricians: a distinct, 8-to-10-foot-tall Dinoid-Reptoid nation. The original page had taken that sourced material, kept its title suggesting a “short” variant, and assigned it a fabricated 1.5-foot height that matches no source at all.
Separately, reference material does describe a genuinely small (“Short Grey” or “Type C”) reptilian Grey type associated with both Bellatrix and Rigel — roughly 3.5 feet tall, unusually muscular, and considered highly aggressive — but this type comes with almost none of the detailed anatomy used in the prior version of this page. This rebuild keeps the two traditions properly separated: the tall, richly-detailed Bellatricians are covered in their own corrected entry, and this page now describes only the genuinely small, thinly-documented type, without borrowing detail that does not belong to it.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
Untangling Two Bellatrix Traditions — A Cross-Contamination Case
- Source Fidelity: The elaborate physical description previously used on this page is accurately sourced — but to the separate, much taller Bellatricians, not to any “short” reptilian tradition. This was a source-attribution error, not a fabrication of the description itself.
- Height Correction: The genuinely “short” Bellatrix/Rigel Grey type is documented at roughly 3.5 feet, not 1.5 feet as previously stated. Neither height matches the 8-10 foot Bellatricians, underscoring that these are separate beings.
- Pattern Context: This is a useful case study in how similarly-named entities from different UFO-literature lineages (Nidle’s channeled Galactic Federation material vs. Branton/Exopaedia’s Grey-typology reference work) can be merged into a single, internally contradictory page when researchers aren’t tracking source provenance closely.
- Evidentiary Weight: Both underlying traditions are contactee/reference-literature material, not physical evidence. Filed as EXOPOLITICAL taxonomy — this specific “Short Grey” type is one of the more thinly-documented entries in that taxonomy and should not be padded with borrowed detail to appear more substantiated than it is.
The lesson of this entry is less about fabrication and more about attribution: a real, well-sourced description got attached to the wrong, unrelated “short” tradition, producing a page that was internally contradictory on the most basic fact — how tall these beings are. With the two traditions properly separated, this entry now honestly reflects how little is actually documented about the genuinely small Bellatrix/Rigel Grey type.
“These Greys are shorter, about three and a half foot tall. They typically look like shorter, but far more muscular — ‘body builder’ — versions of the Standard Greys.”
