It was a post by Dr. Salla (1) on a video on the Greada Treaty on the YouTube channel ‘Why Files’ (2) that brought me to writing this article on the Etherians. It seemed that these species were mentioned in a letter from 1954 by a man called Gerald Light. What to make of this? Are these the same species that are also described by Elena Danaan? Let’s take a (short) dive into this matter.

WHY FILES
This is the first mention of this project called ‘Why Files’ on this website. On their youtube channel you can read the following description: “The Why Files is a channel for people who are fascinated (obsessed) with mysteries, myths, legends and conspiracies. We tell stories, seek the truth, and have a few laughs along the way.” (3) The channel has got 5 million followers which makes it an interesting party when it comes to reaching more people with disclosure like topics.

I personally liked the way they respectfully and critically introduced the account surrounding the ‘Greada Treaty’ that would have been agreed upon between President Eisenhower and a few nasty Gray like species, probably the Eban (4) from the Alliance of the Six (5).

THE GERALD LIGHT LETTER
In the Why Files video (2) a letter is presented from Gerald Light (6). He claims to have been in Muroc Airbase, which was later renamed to Edwards Air Force Base, near Lancaster in California (7) at the time when a number of advanced spaceships were displayed inside. What struck me as a ‘galactic anthropologist’ in that letter from April 1954 was that he mentioned the Etherians (8):

“During my two days’ visit I saw five separate and distinct types of aircraft being studied and handled by our Air Force officials — with the assistance and permission of the Etherians! I have no words to express my reactions.”

GERALD LIGHT AND PROJECT ETHERIA
Gerald Light wrote this letter to Meade Layne who was associated with Project Etheria (9). He wrote a few other letters to mr. Layne (9, fourth section) where he describes his world view. Although he doesn’t seem to write it clearly it does seem that Light’s ‘Etherians’ are somehow connected to the etheric planes, which he defines in a rather unique way. I could find a a description of one of the Etherians he says to have met:

.. (Encounter with one of the Higher Etherians): “This Being bore but slight resemblance to a human man. A single, solitary eye blazed in his forehead. It pierced me to the quick of my soul. The ‘eye’ was more than an eye. It is the one thing I remember most clearly about this astonishing personage from worlds beyond our own, This Eye, which seemed almost a composite brain in itself, was perfectly round and divided into hundreds, perhaps thousands of facets or surfaces, somewhat like a multicolored jewel. (11)

Then I found a definition on ‘Etheria’ from Meade Layne that goes to show that their Etheria is really not associated with a star system or a planet: “Etheria is here — if we know what here means! Along‐side, inside, outside of our world. Because our world, that is, the so‐called dense matter of the objects in our world, is a rarefaction. It is spaced out like a vast net — a net with enormous meshes” (12).

ELENA DANAAN AND THE ETHERIANS
After acquainting myself with what people like Gerald Light and Meade Layne regarded to be ‘Etherians’ it is becoming clear that there is no similarity with the Etherians from the Elena Danaan material. You can see her Etherians on the cover of her book ‘Encyclopedia Galactica’ (10).

The Etherians of Elena Danaan are physical beings, having two eyes. They would have shape-shifting abilities, but limited to changing between a Gray or a humanoid look. Elena’s books also present illustrations of the humanoid looking Etherians.

What is interesting is that these Etherians, who are part of the Intergalactic Confederation (14), and originate in the Andromeda Constellation, who not only have donated their genetics to the original blueprint (15), but they would also have introduced themselves to our world governments in the 1940s. They are categorized as being part of the ‘Tall Greys’ (that encompasses both malevolent and benevolent species).

They are said to be the root race for the Kiily Tokurt (16), and just like their off-spring they are involved in commercial interactions with many other civilizations. They even had business dealings with “groups such as the Nachtwaffen (17,18) on Ceres and Luna, as well as on the now-defunct interplanetary Corporate Conglomerate” (10, p.10) (19). You can get to know more about them in the Encyclopedia Galactica .

ETHERIANS, ELARTHIANS AND ETHORTIANS
Just like it can be a bit confusing to distinguish between the Ashtar Galactic Command and the Ashtar Collective (20), you can easily mix up a few species whose names look a bit like each other. The Etherians are discussed here, the winged Elarthians are another species from the Intergalactic Confederation (14) that are said to have a base on the Jovian Moon Europa (21), and then there are the Ethortians, a species that is mainly known in the Swaruu Perspective (22).

ANNAX AND ETHORIANS
In videos from Elena’s early days we could hear Annax speaking through Elena. These videos from 2020 were often parts of interviews with Elisa Herrera, her QHHT therapist that triggered her memories (24). Here’s an excerpt where Annax answers a question on who genetically experimented with humanity.

SOME REFLECTIONS
Personally I think it is a bit funny that these Etherians, as a Seeder Race, would have traded with a group like the Dark Fleet on Ceres. I also think it’s a bit odd that they are the root race of a rather dubious species like the Kiilly Tokurt (16). The fact that they can shapeshift adds to their strangeness. It does explain the shapeshifting qualities of the Kiily Tokurt, alright. Since they would have contributed to the original seeding by donating their genetics, some of might train themselves to wake up in the morning and look like a Gray. Just imagine connecting to your soul-family and then seeing these guys?

But despite their looks, they are described as benevolent. When it comes to Gerald Light, it seems that he has constructed a reality based on etheric realities, that can sometimes be a bit hard to follow, at least for me. I also notice that I am not really inclined to delve into all these structures that people have developed on their own, or with a group of people. That’s one of the reasons why I prefer to use the Elena Danaan material as a kind of ‘yardstick’, not because I think she is telling the absolute truth, but because I think it is the most comprehensive and galactically logical account we have at the moment.

And what to make of the comment by Annax? Who are these Ethorians? Would they simply be the same species as the Etherians? Would they be these Ethortans from the swaruunians? For now I prefer to think that the Ethorians are synonymous with the Etherians. It would be great, however, if Elena Danaan would one day share some thoughts on all these groups from this phonological group!

” Gerald Light
10545 Scenario Lane
Los Angeles, California

Mr. Meade Layne
San Diego, California

My dear Friend: I have just returned from Muroc. The report is true — devastatingly true!

I made the journey in company with Franklin Allen of the Hearst papers and Edwin Nourse of Brookings Institute (Truman’s erstwhile financial advisor) and Bishop MacIntyre of L.A. (confidential names for the present, please).

When we were allowed to enter the restricted section (after about six hours in which we were checked on every possible item, event, incident and aspect of our personal and public lives), I had the distinct feeling that the world had come to an end with fantastic realism. For I have never seen so many human beings in a state of complete collapse and confusion, as they realized that their own world had indeed ended with such finality as to beggar description. The reality of the “other plane” aeroforms is now and forever removed from the realms of speculation and made a rather painful part of the consciousness of every responsible scientific and political group.

During my two days’ visit I saw five separate and distinct types of aircraft being studied and handled by our Air Force officials — with the assistance and permission of the Etherians! I have no words to express my reactions.

It has finally happened. It is now a matter of history.

President Eisenhower, as you may already know, was spirited over to Muroc one night during his visit to Palm Springs recently. And it is my conviction that he will ignore the terrific conflict between the various ‘authorities’ and go directly to the people via radio and television — if the impasse continues much longer. From what I could gather, an official statement to the country is being prepared for delivery about the middle of May.

I will leave it to your own excellent powers of deduction to construct a fitting picture of the mental and emotional pandemonium that is now shattering the consciousness of hundreds of our scientific “authorities” and all the pundits of the various specialized knowledges that make up our current physics. In some instance I could not stifle a wave of pity that arose in my own being as I watched the pathetic bewilderment of rather brilliant brains struggling to make some sort of rational explanation which would enable them to retain their familiar theories and concepts. And I thanked my own destiny for having long ago pushed me into the metaphysical woods and compelled me to find my way out. To watch strong minds cringe before totally irreconcilable aspects of “science” is not a pleasant thing. I had forgotten how commonplace things as dematerialization of “solid” objects had become to my own mind. The coming and going of an etheric, or spirit, body has been so familiar to me these many years I had forgotten that such a manifestation could snap the mental balance of a man not so conditioned. I shall never forget those forty-eight hours at Muroc!

Surrounding this eye, which rested in the center of a large forehead, beautifully shaped and bordered with a kind of hair which looked more like fine metallic wires than ordinary hair, was a vivid circle of delicately contrived muscles. These were automatic in their action, similar to the pupil of a cat’s eye, expanding or contracting according to the requirements of the light. This Being stood easily twelve feet in height, yet the body was not as large as our standards of proportion would expect. He was slender, almost to the point of delicacy, yet for some reason I sensed that his weight was enormous. I had the impression that I was observing a man of granite or lead, rather than of flesh and blood . . . And in a manner I cannot try to explain here, I knew that he was the embodiment of the principles of Uranus, the planetary Power traditionally said to govern the Sign Aquarius and its cycles. He was the Aquarian-Uranian, the Power to Come.“

Here’s a conclusion that makes sense: “Light’s Etherians are interdimensional, occult-inspired beings from Etheria, tied to a specific 1954 encounter at Muroc Air Force Base, while Danaan’s Etherians are humanoid extraterrestrials who contributed to human DNA as part of the Intergalactic Confederation.“

(25) For some unknown reasons Elena has unfortunately decided to remove all interviews with Elisa Herrera. She has developed this habit of destroyed videos whenever there is some spat with the people involved. This is a disaster for any record keeper. For more on this see (26).
