Jorge is a writer who also enjoys entertaining conspiracy theories. Also, he is not a reptilian shapeshifter—as far as you know.

One way to tell if someone is a reptilian is by looking closely at their eyes.

If you're not familiar with the popular reptilian conspiracy theories, then you're really missing out!

Basically, a reptilian (in the David Icke lore) is an alien creature from another dimension who has a reptile-like body, but who blends into the human population by taking on a more humanoid appearance. According to this theory, reptilians use holographic technology to disguise themselves as everyday humans and can often rise to high levels of power in order to manipulate true humans. Some of them are also capable of shape-shifting into a humanoid form.

Some even believe that reptilians and humans were hybridized long ago, so there could be people who have reptilian blood and don't even realize it.

While not all reptilians may be bad, the idea is that they can be quite unconscious. They exist almost like computer programs, with no sense of right and wrong, simply running on predetermined instinct like robots. When they rise to power, they can cause damage because—according to the lore—they feed on human anxiety.

Of course, the reptilians who are in power are aware of their true nature, and they seek to dominate the planet and drain it of its precious resources.

Do Reptilians Really Exist?

Eh, probably not in a literal sense. Though David Icke himself claims that this reptilian theory is literally true, personally I think you can get a lot more value out of it by viewing it as a metaphor.

Every human being has a side to themselves that is robotic and unconscious. Are you letting that run your life? Are you living without any self-reflection, as if you were a computer program that had no power to rewrite itself? Furthermore, is that fear-based, automatic part of the collective human psyche running society as a whole, to our detriment?

These are important things to consider. When you really think about it, the reptilians aren't "out there." Rather, they're inside of us.

Still, if you're going to follow the conspiracy theory in a literal sense, there are some common signs that someone is a reptilian shapeshifter. Here are the main ways to spot one:

How to Spot a Reptilian in a World of Humanoids

Look for reptilian eyes. Check their body for scales. See if their hologram flickers. Observe their behavior. Trust your intuition.

1. Look for Reptilian Eyes

If you're wondering how to spot a reptilian, then obviously the first place to look is their eyes.

Some people say that these shapeshifters have reptile-esque eyes if you look closely enough. Others say it's possible to spot their reptilian eyes only sometimes, while they are in the midst of shapeshifting.

So next time you suspect that a world leader may be a reptilian—and, according to this conspiracy theory, almost all of them are—take a close look at their eyes. Are they like vertical slits? Are they a deep black with no sclera? Did they seem to change suddenly? If so, this may be a sign of a reptilian.

A reptilian may occasionally present with scales, like a crocodile or a dragon.

2. Check for Signs of Scales or Odd-Textured Skin

Another common way to spot a reptilian is by the appearance of scales. While a reptilian is shapeshifting, you may see their skin change a little. Maybe you see a hint of green all of a sudden, or you notice that the texture becomes scaly or rough like that of a lizard or snake.

Keep in mind that this isn't something you should see too often, since supposedly reptilians go to great lengths to appear as if they have human skin.

If you're curious, there are plenty of photos that you can find online of famous people who appear to show signs of reptile skin. Are these just artifacts in the photo and nothing more? Are those "scales" near a celebrity's forehead just a sign of a poorly-attached wig? Is that flaky dryness simply lack of moisturizer? Probably, but I guess you can never know for sure.

3. Watch to See If the Hologram Flickers

Reptilians are supposed to be really good at hiding their true identities. Sometimes it may be so automatic to them that they don't even realize they're doing it. Occasionally, their disguise may become apparent, though, especially in moments of distress.

Well, that's how the stories go, anyway. Since their human skin can be holographic, it is subject to the limitations of the technology. A quick Internet search can reveal dozens of videos that are purported "evidence" of a politician or a celebrity letting down their guard and unknowingly revealing their true, reptilian forms on live television.

Granted, this could just be the fault of grainy video. It's more interesting to assume that the person is a reptilian, though.

Not all reptilians are obvious. They're allegedly masters of disguise, after all.

4. They Seem to Have No Soul

One of the hallmarks of a reptilian is that they have very little or no conscious awareness. Again, they exist like robots and there's little you can do to appeal to any kind of human consciousness in them. They have been bred to enslave humanity and they do not want to deviate from their programming. They tend to have difficulty displaying genuine human emotions as well.

Does the person who is a suspected reptilian seem to have no light in their eyes? Do they seem to have no remorse? Do they seem completely empty and devoid of any human touch?

Reptilians generally attempt to appear like humans and act as if they have human traits like empathy and self-awareness, but things might still appear . . . not quite right. You might sense something artificial about them.

Seeing this aspect as a metaphor is useful as well. In your own life, you might similarly act out of unconsciousness, but try to fake a higher level of awareness in an attempt to blend in.

For example, you might be too afraid to admit that you feel no empathy for certain people or that you don't give a crap about the environment, so you pretend that you do, anyway. You could say this is a "reptilian" trait that many of us might exhibit.

Be mindful of when you behave "soullessly." It's better to admit an ugly truth than to try to deceive people.

5. Your Intuition Is Alerting You of a Nearby Reptilian

Finally, after all of my hard-hitting research on random Internet forums, I found out that the most common way to spot a reptilian is simply one's intuition. According to more experienced lizard-spotters, if you feel like the person has an alien presence, then they could very likely be a reptilian.

Your gut can't always be 100% right, but combined with some holographic technical difficulties and a flash of scaly skin, you may be on to something. Of course, just because you have a bad feeling about someone, this doesn't mean they are a reptilian hybrid who is bent on taking over the world—but they could be, so why take any chances?

Your Reptilian Experience

What to Do When You Find a Reptilian

What if you're absolutely convinced that your local politician or your best friend is a reptilian? What do you do?

Well, nothing. Even according to the lore, you can never totally be sure who is reptilian and who is not. It's not like this is an exact checklist. The whole point of reptilians is that they disguise themselves among regular humans and are hard to spot. Reptilians are supposed to have superhuman strength so trying to fight them head-on would be a bad idea. Since they are artificial beings, attempting to overthrow them with weapons also won't work.

Not all reptilians have bad intentions, either, so don't jump to conclusions just yet. Some reptilians are part human and can thus become self-aware. It's not always a simple game of "good" and "evil."

If you get a creepy vibe from someone, though, then obviously steer clear of them. Reptilian or not, there's no reason to be around someone who seems to have ill intentions.

Who Is David Icke?

David Icke is a British conspiracy theorist who first popularized this concept of reptilian aliens controlling human civilization. His reptoid hypothesis states that long ago reptilian aliens known as the Archons came from the constellation Draco. These aliens then mated with the humans at the time and their descendants now rule the earth.

He claims that the mythological references of gods mating with humans actually refer to these reptilian aliens mating with human women to produce hybrid offspring. This hybrid race is known as the "Babylonian Brotherhood," or the Illuminati, and Icke believes that they control the world. For Icke and others of his ilk, ancient stories and texts are littered with references to non-human beings interacting with humans, something that Icke cites as proof that all of these non-human entities are reptilians.

David Icke on the Conspiracy of the Lizard Illuminati

What Is a Conspiracy Theory? A conspiracy theory is an alternative explanation of an event or situation that invokes an unwarranted conspiracy. Usually, the conspiracy is carried out by some government organization.

The Reptoid Hypothesis

The reptilians control the world via a shadowy organization known as the "Global Elite" or the "Illuminati." They create religious, ethnic, and sexual division to keep humanity in a state of constant fear and chaos. Due to this constant state of division, Icke believes that the reptilians are able to rule the world in a totalitarian fashion.

Icke has spent the greater part of the past twenty-five years writing books and giving lectures about these aliens, yet he has not uncovered any conclusive proof that any world leader is a reptilian alien.

How Did You Realize Someone Was a Reptilian?

Curtis on May 20, 2019:

Something revealed itself to me when I challenged a co-workers behaviour. It tries to intimidate me, and I could feel fear trying to overcome me. I felt angry because of this and told it, I wasn't afraid of it and stood face to face. The thing turned away and the turned back and it looked like my co-worker again. I told him I knew what he was which seemed to unnerve him, I told him I'd seen his true face and that he couldn't intimidate me. He asked what I meant, but quickly walked away.

I don't know what I saw, reptilian or demon, but I know they thrive on our fear.

Don't give them your fear people, they fear us for some reason.

eli on May 17, 2019:

i just saw with my own eyes my neighbors eyes shapeshift at least 5 times, the first time i waited 30 seconds and then asked him like whats up with your eye and then he was like what i was like theres some reptilian shit going on there look in the mirror!!! HE LOOKED and SAW it TOOO!!! Then it just continued to shift back to normal and back to a small thin black line... very freaky! I really felt as if i discovered his true identity with the energies and all! I told him a lot of reptilians dont even know they are and he still said DONT TELL THO haha!!! Im freaked help

B on May 14, 2019:

My mother-in-law moved in with us and from the start, EVERYTHING that I am right now, has been on HIGH ALERT. I can't let my guard down. It is like asking me to breath water to even look at her. I have repeatedly said, she has NO SOUL. She is not human!!!

My family thinks I am crazy, needless to say: she moved out. That feeling never went away!! She is the second person I ran into that I felt that way.

Nikas on May 09, 2019:

Im married to one. Trying to get out. His teeth have transformed in his sleep. I caught it on camera. Also hes heartless and has the scalely head at times.... I know God will lead me to peace. I trust in the Almighty Lord. He sent Jesus to save us. Just follow his rules and you will feel his Grace and Love....

I was walking and a man glared at me with a green face during a storm, I think he was one.

Andreas/WAN on March 29, 2019:

Well, Reptilian eyes is shaped due to different contractions in the Eyes and comes from a mindset:) They are not so different from the other «Ætt’s» walking annonse, just other Qualifiactions ! The Holographic Flickering, often starts at the head. Yes that is a small secret not to shear with t

CrystalChild on March 20, 2019:

This is more of a myth because half of this population are originally reptilians including my self, it's not as we know of or think of, reptilians are just a spirit race which comes from a different planet, and as more and more people start to awaken (whether they are aware or not) they often start seeing a glimmer of reptilian eyes in humans. I'm not saying that all reptilians are good most become aware of that and that's how narcisim and negativity comes from. If you have seen a person with reptilian eyes and your gut tells you that somethings not Wright with them and you might wanna stay away from them, on the other side most reptilians are just normal human like me. If you feel more interested of starseeds and spiritualism than you should definatelly do more research on what you are and where your spirit is originally from.

I just got done gutting my 9th draco, once you can spot em its easy to get the drop and stab them.

bob 2 on March 05, 2019:

I would like to thanks you Jorge Vamos because you had relly helped me know better this fenomen that is the reptilians

bob on March 05, 2019:

this is just sooooo stupid

please don't be paranoid

SS on February 27, 2019:

Your gut IS always 100% accurate. Author said it isnt.

Any human would know gut-instinct is infalliable.....but a reptilian wouldn't.

All reptilians have is analytic assessment, which is so limited in scope. "Knowing" is a human trait, and one of which they are jealous. Why do you think they have to try to enslve us with lies? Its because they are limited and can not compete with intuition and creativity and spontaneity. The best they can do is attempt to make replicas of humans in their functional image. This is AI.

I say, BORING!

Im so creative I could make any AI short circuit in 2.2 secs.

Any human who is enamored with and wanting to be a reptilian is an idiot. Dont you know its HUMAN that they want to be? And btw, they arent feeding off us. They are trying to merge with and become us. The veil is to pacify us so this can happen, because in an awaken state, they cant touch us. so wake up!

I am a reptilian.

Echo VanVoorhees on February 10, 2019:

I have seen a reptilian. And he revealed himself to me. As he did this, he said "people hallucinate all the time" I'm not sure why he revealed himself to me, possibly because I have ORH- blood, and he acted like he saw me as something that scared him. Not sure what this all means, but how could anyone think human are the only species on this planet?

Aaron on January 06, 2019:

Some of my folk are kind and have a heart. I enjoy the company of humans very much. I dont eat them like some of my kind. I spend alot of time with different beings. The paladians and syrians are both cool and have given me alot of knowledge and understanding. I think we should get over race and be equal as life forms. Its not a black or white world. But mines green. One love

RObert HAles on December 03, 2018:

I also am part of the reptilians but do not be afraid we just want to fit in with humans on earth we have no need to harm your kind. We do not want to be seen in our real form because we are afraid of what you humans may think of us.

Danny Duncan on November 27, 2018:

i am a real reptilian but do not fear us my fellow humans we are not here to harm the earth

My iguana is a reptilian. And also I saw a gecko on my wall once. Damn those lizard eyes..

Pace on September 22, 2018:

don't worry not all repts are bad most species were once kind.Iv'e been visited by three aliens, Implanted and/or microchip-ed and it aint nice since i'd get weekly visits from 2016-2017 and as they come and i made them or tried to break out of their paralysis they'd torture me. they're reptilian grey and insectoid. they stopped visiting me well touching m this year they're just watching and going i think i have to learn their gifts they gave has i gotten their dna but i forced stopped them from growing when i was 13 might try getting them back and using them for good

Lola on September 04, 2018:

You can communicate with us using the third eye, which is the gateway though to us. Some are evil and wish to control some of us just want peace. Like you we have to choose between good and evil. If you are one of us you can communicate by looking into each others eyes, when you connect to another you can see the eyes changing into slits, we talk with our minds and not our voices. The truth is you can't trust anyone, even if they are of the same race. Who are you?

do we make our hosts sick by existing inside them? I always knew I was different.

Jakk on August 28, 2018:

Do they drink less water? I notice this one that I feel is reptilian don't seem to have the same bodily needs as I have.

Exhalted Pizza on August 22, 2018:

Scales and reptilian features aren't so weird in humans, actually. Science Daily says: "the reptilian scales, the avian feathers and the mammalian hairs, despite their very different final shapes, evolved from the scales of their reptilian common ancestor."

Basically our skin is a version of the same stuff scales are made out of. You learn something new every day!

Darkpoulp on August 14, 2018:

Actually, we all have a cerebellum aka reptilian brain ^^

Durban on August 12, 2018:

I recently became self aware , and just so you know i have never been evil or even close to what you call soulless...I didnt choose this but i have always had the choice on weather i was decent or not. Just like every race on this planet has both good and bad or evil. We need to stop trying so hard to find whos to blame for everything, and start helping each other fix the problems we all have created.. its time to focus our energy on the solutions and not the problems. Thats just my opinion. I didnt even know what i was tell the age of 35 and knowing now hasn't change the person my mother raised me to be. Im just saying..

As a Dragon Hybrid my eyes will change color: hazel green to topaz gold. Sometimes the pupil will form a slit. Anyhow, I'm peaceful & wish no harm to you puny humans.

Star Solaris on June 02, 2018:

As a healer and a person who sees energy, I commonly see them present in a "host body" but purely on an energetic level. Sometimes it is indicated to clear them from the host (because they are hijacking) and other times it is indicated to leave them be but to simply offer healing and consciousness evolving energy to the reptilian in addition to the client. I have not noticed the ones that I am able to clear/evolve to be particularly malicious per se, but the presence of the reptilian does result in a large degree of suffering for the host. It may be that the reptilian is suffering and hence the host experiences that... But overall it appears they are simply struggling to survive. Because our society lives largely ignorant of the multitude of dimensions of their energy bodies, they are easy targets for these things to set up home inside of. The solution is to occupy your energy space so squatters such as these will be less likely to infiltrate. However, I have observed also that some human bodies were born specifically to be host to these things in which case the body would belong to the reptilian (human with reptilian soul). I don't believe all reptilians are bad because I have witnessed a range of agenda among them. Some do seek to exploit where others are simply seeking survival and relief from suffering.

Jenesis on May 12, 2018:

I took a pic few months ago my eye shifted to a lizard type eye and in others my eyes will be pitch black no color skin some times looks scaled i do have skin problem.

I believe that 'reptile people' are a metaphor for seemingly soulless sociopaths who show no remorse. As for the bad skin, I'm sure lamellar ichthyosis is an extremely uncomfortable condition and people should feel sorry for them and not alienate them further. Those who suffer from this genetic disease sometimes has yellow stuff coming out of their eyes.

Wesman Todd Shaw from Kaufman, Texas on January 26, 2018:

David Icke's website once sent me about twenty thousand views to a thing I'd wrote. We anti-reptillians simply must unite!!!! Thanks for the fun article :)
