Mantis Aliens

Mantis aliens are perhaps the most mysterious and unsettling of all extraterrestrial creatures. These beings appear within many abduction scenarios, with abductees reporting the ominous presence of these entities looming over their beds as they wake in the dead of night. While the Mantis is not as widely reported as the Grey or Nordic alien, it still holds an important role within many extraterrestrial contact scenarios.

Some researchers have considered Mantids as a possible example of an early form of intelligent life from planet Earth itself, but this is only one theory of the origin of these creatures.

Mythology

Insect beings appear within mythologies throughout the world, including Native American and African folklore. The Khoisan tribe of Africa specifically regard the mantis as the first living creature upon the Earth, who granted life to animals and humans, inventing language and bringing fire to the people. It is even said that the mantis created the moon as a guide for hunters by throwing a gallbladder into the sky.

Insects embody a quality of “otherness” in their demeanor and appearance, and this lack of mammalian attributes tends to alienate and upset human beings, leading to the death of many an Earth insect. While the mantis is easily the most human-like arthropod, there exists a deeply rooted fear of otherness that is generated when a person encounters such a creature.

Could this human reaction explain the common experience of paralysis that Mantis beings induce when contacting Earthlings?

The possibility of paralysis as a precautionary measure against the overwhelming and human urge to destroy the “other” cannot be discounted.

Origin

Some believe these extraterrestrials come from the Draco system, working hand in hand with the Reptilians.

Characteristics

Physical characteristics

By far the most striking aspect of the Mantis alien is its physical kinship with the praying mantis, the carnivorous and bipedal insect of its namesake. Many report these beings as 6-7 feet tall, with long, thin torsos. Their necks, arms and hands have additional joints. Their heads are insect-like and triangular, with large, slanted eyes of deep brown to black.

Most Mantids are described as dark brown, but other colors such as green and black have also been encountered. Their bodies are composed of a segmented exoskeleton, and some abductees have reported that the Mantis seem to be coated in an oily substance. Mantis are often encountered wearing long robes in a variety of colors, perhaps signifying rank, while some are unclothed.

Communication Methods

Although the Mantis tend to communicate with human abductees using telepathic messages, they have been witnessed engaging one another using an auditory language. Several contactees have described the Mantis language as a series of clicking sounds exchanged between the creatures.

Abilities

Some experiencers state that the Mantids are also shape shifters and use advanced technologies to create a field around their bodies to make them appear human.

Common Abduction Scenario

The Mantis tend to be overseers, and often appear to be in leadership positions of power during an abduction. Generally, a Mantis will be accompanied by several small Grey aliens who seem to do its bidding. These small Greys are assumed to be drone beings, controlled by a hive mind and utilized by a variety of alien races.

The Mantis are commonly involved in abductions that include both medical procedures and instances of interrogation.

Intentions on Earth

The perceived motivation of the Mantis in regards to human abduction is somewhat mysterious. Some contactees describe these creatures as positive, uplifting beings who seek to protect humanity and the Earth. One common thread found among many abduction scenarios is centered around the use of holographic projections as a means of education.

Abductees often report Mantis beings showing them holographic images of the destruction of planet Earth to illustrate the possible negative impact that our species could have upon the planet.

Others have reported an increase in psychic abilities post-abduction. Many experiencers claim that the Mantis seem to possess the uncanny ability to put abductees at ease, offering telepathic words of comfort that eliminate the fear of an encounter.

Human DNA Harvesting

However, some return from their experiences with the Mantis with a darker point of view, stating that the Mantis wish to conquer and control Earth rather than aid in human ascension. Some believe that a Mantis hybridization program is currently taking place, using human DNA to create a new species.

Some abductees report the presence of Tall Blacks, a creature thought to be such a hybridization.

Experiencers describe these beings as incredibly tall and more humanoid than insectoid, with black skin, extremely long limbs and extra joints on their appendages. These abduction scenarios are very similar to those involving Mantis aliens, and seem to evolve around medical experiments. The most chilling feature of the Tall Blacks encountered by many abductees are their glowing red eyes.

Regardless of the true motivation of the Mantis species, their interest in human DNA and behavior is obvious based on abductee accounts. Have you ever experienced a Mantis or insect-like alien? Do you feel that they are positive beings overseeing experiments, or ruthless interlopers subjecting humans to frightening medical procedures? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
