The Grays
Original Release Date: 10/02/2447
For the childish beings of the Milky Way Galaxy's Planet Earth, the Grays were a terrifying sight. In the middle of the night, in the dusty cornfields of the flatlands, the Grays would visit the lonely Earthlings and trample their crops, ducking between the stalks with their bony fingers and oval heads. Snickering in the moonlight, the pranksters could scare the pants off as many as two dozen suckers in just one Earth night. Legends on the planet grew that a "superior" race of intelligent life had descended upon them, the mysteries of the universe somehow unlocked by the rear ends of the simple humans. Admittedly, a rash of abductions did take place when the prank had gone a bit too far, but the nature of these visits was purely comical. For the Grays were, as the Earthlings had predicted, highly intelligent, mastering space travel far faster than even the large-headed Kits of the Tributary Nebula. But, there was no hypothesis about ruining an Earthling's night; it was all in fun. Three such Grays, whose days streaking across the sky confusing pilots of all skills had come to an end, captured the very spirit and the outsized reaction down to the very core with their sophomore album In The Dead Of Night, for it was the dead of night that they had spent their very best days, popping out from behind cows (a milk-based Earth animal) and silently approaching the shocked and horrified faces of the lowest order. With chilling renditions of these encounters, interspersed with the gleeful escape of exiting the Milky Way before the authorities could muster their engines, In The Dead Of Night was directed, with slight malice, towards Earth, the inside joke appealing to a massive audience of fellow Grays who had either put those days behind them or would use it as inspiration to poke fun at the Universe's delightfully unaware rear end.
