An energy being is a fictional or alleged life form that is composed of energy rather than matter. They appear in paranormal/UFO accounts, and in various works of speculative fiction.[1]

In fiction

It has been argued that the titular color in H.P. Lovecraft's The Color Out of Space is a depiction of an energy being.[2][3] In Stranger in a Strange Land, the Martians continue existing and participating in society as energy beings after death.[1] Energy beings are also frequently portrayed in the Star Trek franchise with use of simple special effects.[1]

In ufoology

Writer of the blog ET Database Scott C Waring claimed to see alien energy beings in NASA's photos of the Sun. He said that these beings were about 1.5 kilometers wide and claimed that they were feeding off of the Sun's energy. What Waring saw was likely to have been small debris floating in front of NASA's cameras[4]
