Editing Non-human intelligent being

A '''[[non-human intelligent being]]''' ('''NHIB''') is an [[intelligent being (species)|intelligent]] [[being (entity)|being]] who is not [[human]]. NHIBs are often described as members of one or more [[species]] alleged to exist beyond the scope of mainstream understanding, with reported origins ranging from other [[celestial bodies]] to alternate [[dimensions]] or timelines. Extraterrestrial humans, while considered [[extraterrestrial being]]s, are not classified as NHIBs. Similarly, [[subterranean human]]s would not be NHIBs.
NHIBs are most commonly alleged to be [[extraterrestrial life|extraterrestrial]] in origin, often described as belonging to advanced civilizations or [[species of NHIBs]] capable of interstellar travel and communication. However, not all NHIBs are necessarily extraterrestrial. Some are alleged to be [[cryptoterrestrials]]—beings that inhabit hidden or unexplored regions of [[Earth]]—or [[interdimensional beings]] theorized to exist beyond conventional [[space–time]].

The concept of NHIBs is central to numerous [[conspiracy theories]] that suggest that NHIBs play a hidden but significant role in the development of human civilization, technology, and culture, are being hidden by the powers-that-be, and/or are acknowledged as real and factual by the [[private civilization]]. Many are frequently alleged to possess advanced [[technology]] and knowledge, with many claims emphasizing their ability to remain hidden from mainstream detection.

Many different [[species of NHIBs]] in many [[list of NHIB communities|communities]] have been alleged, ranging from [[Zeta Greys]] and [[mantis beings]] to less anthropomorphic forms, such as [[energy beings]] or [[non-biological life|non-biological entities]]. These beings are often categorized by their level of [[intelligence]], [[physical form]], and interaction with humanity.
