Charles Hall and the Tall Whites — Former airman Charles Hall writes he was watched by 'tall whites' at Nellis AFB in the 1960s.

Charles Hall says he was an Air Force weather observer at Indian Springs, on the Nellis range in Nevada, from 1965 to 1967. Beginning in 1999 he self-published Millennial Hospitality, a series of books describing repeated encounters with tall, pale, humanoid aliens he called the "Tall Whites", who he said were living at the base with the Air Force's knowledge.

Hall describes the beings as having large heads and white skin, travelling in craft and interacting with Air Force personnel. His books have attracted a following.

There is no independent evidence for his story, and it's generally treated as an unverifiable memoir. The testimony notes that the term "Tall Whites" later appeared in claims by Iranian officials in 2014 that tall white aliens control America, and in comments by former Israeli space security chief Haim Eshed in 2020 about a "Galactic Federation". Those references don't support Hall's account.
