In ufology and the study of alleged extraterrestrial beings and lifeforms visiting Earth, " Nordics", " Nordic aliens" or " Tall Whites" are among the names given to one of several purported humanoid races hailing from the Pleiades star cluster (i.e., Pleiadians), as they reportedly share superficial similarities with "Nordic race", Germanic, or Scandinavia humans. Alleged Contactee describe Nordics as being somewhat taller than the average human, standing roughly in height (with an equally proportional weight), and showing stereotypically "European" or "White" features, such as long, straight Blond, Eye color, and Light skin. Chambers Dictionary of the Unexplained. Ed. Una McGovern. Chambers, 2007. pp. 489–490. . The skin tone has also been reported by individuals who say they have seen such beings as being a pale blue-grey or pastel purple.
In the 1950s, George Adamski, a Polish-American ufologist, was among the first to publicly report his alleged contact with Nordic beings. Scholars note that the Myth of extraterrestrial visitations from such beings (with physical features superficially described as "Aryan race") often make mention of telepathy, benevolence, and physical beauty and grace; however, many purported alien and extraterrestrial encounters also involve some degree of telepathy serving as the primary communication with human beings.
In contactee and ufology literature, Nordic aliens are often described as benevolent or even "magical" beings who want to observe and communicate with humans and are concerned about the Earth's ecology or prospects for world peace. Believers also ascribe telepathic powers to Nordic aliens, and describe them as "paternal, watchful, smiling, affectionate, and youthful".
During the 1950s, many people alleging to be contactees, especially those in Europe, claimed encounters with beings fitting this description. Such claims became relatively less common in subsequent decades, as the grey alien supplanted the Nordic in most alleged accounts of extraterrestrial encounters.
The UFO religion Universe People contains a variety of interactions, published as "Talks with Teachings from my Cosmic Friends".
The Brazilian science fiction novella "Major Atlas - Uma Novela Sobre Alienígenas Nórdicos", stands out in the science fiction landscape for its deep and extensive exploration of the Nordic alien (Pleiadian) theme, arguably more so than any other work of fiction. The narrative centers on a police officer who undergoes an extraordinary transformation. After being exposed to a mysterious cosmic essence, he is endowed with superhuman abilities strikingly similar to those of Superman. As the plot unfolds, the protagonist finds himself involved in a complex web of deceit, realizing he is a pawn in a larger, manipulated narrative and slowly uncovers the secrets of the Pleiadian beings, highlighting themes of manipulation, hidden power structures, and the nature of reality. The book uses the Nordic alien mythology not merely as a backdrop but as a fundamental, driving force of its central conflict and character development.
