Whitley Strieber, well-known for his decades of writings and testimony on alleged alien contact, has shared many strange and often unsettling experiences. In a conversation featured in DEBRIEFED Episode 36, Strieber recounted a brief but remarkable meeting with a mysterious figure he identified as a “Nordic.”
This encounter was notable not only because the being appeared distinctly non-human, but also for a warning he gave — a statement that continues to echo in UFO discussions:
“Never get into a war with the Greys, because they’ll never let you win, and they will never let you stop fighting.”
In UFO lore, the Greys are among the most frequently reported alien types. Typically described as small, humanoid beings with large heads and dark eyes, they are often linked to abduction accounts and alleged medical or technological experiments. Some reports describe “tall Greys” or “tall whites” as mature versions of the smaller beings.
Strieber says his own experiences involve different forms of Greys, along with human-looking individuals and other entities — but the warning from the Nordic suggested a far more complex and possibly dangerous relationship between humans and these beings.
Strieber recalls meeting the Nordic under circumstances involving individuals connected to the U.S. Department of Defense. The man appeared around 6’7” tall, with blond hair and green eyes, looking more human than many Nordic descriptions in UFO literature. He introduced himself by saying, “I am not of you.”
Afterward, a defense contact explained to Strieber that this being was what they called a “Nordic.” When asked where such beings might originate, the reply was telling: “In that direction, we believe” — referring to the Pleiades star cluster.
The Nordic’s message about never engaging in war with the Greys suggests that such a conflict would be unwinnable and perpetual. This implies either an overwhelming technological superiority or a style of warfare so persistent and unconventional that humans could not hope to end it on their own terms.
Strieber noted that when he hears of modern military encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), he remembers this warning and wonders if today’s decision-makers are unaware of the potential consequences.
The conversation also touched on the possibility of government or shadow-government programs working alongside extraterrestrials — whether Nordics, Greys, or other types. Strieber referenced discussions with the U.S. Senate Select Intelligence Committee in the past, and the idea of “black budget” projects funding secret facilities unknown even to official Pentagon records.
If such covert collaborations exist, they may already involve managing relationships — peaceful or otherwise — with non-human intelligences.
Whether one interprets Strieber’s account as literal truth, allegory, or speculative fiction, the cautionary phrase “Never get into a war with the Greys” is a stark reminder of how little humanity might understand about potential alien civilizations. If contact ever becomes public and undeniable, history could show that the greatest danger was not in making first contact — but in how we chose to respond afterward.
