Nordic aliens are a type of extraterrestrial described in UFO and contactee literature as tall, human-looking beings with long blond hair, blue eyes and fair skin, often said to come from the Pleiades star cluster. They were the typical "space brothers" of 1950s contactee stories, before the grey alien became dominant.[1]
Origins

George Adamski was among the first to claim contact with such beings, describing a long-haired Venusian he called Orthon in 1952.[1][2] Cultural historian David J. Skal suggested that these stories may have been partly inspired by the 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still, in which a humanlike alien warns humanity about atomic weapons.[1]
Characteristics
In contactee writings, Nordics are usually benevolent, telepathic and concerned about the Earth's environment and world peace. Believers describe them as paternal, watchful, affectionate and youthful. Scholar Stephanie Kelley-Romano notes that among believers they are associated with spiritual growth and love and act as protectors.[1]
Claimed contacts

- George Adamski, in Flying Saucers Have Landed and Inside the Space Ships.
- Howard Menger, in From Outer Space to You.
- George Van Tassel, who said in 1952 that he was in telepathic contact with a being called Ashtar; many others later claimed contact with Ashtar.
- Billy Meier, who has claimed contact with beings from the Pleiades since 1975.
Claims of Nordic contacts were most common in the 1950s, especially in Europe, and became rarer as reports of grey aliens took over.[1]
