Not only is it illegal to kill a Grey but it is also unlawful to come in contact with them or their ships or artifacts, and good ol' NASA has
the power not only to confine you (indefinitely) they may hold you in quarantine until such time deemed necessary to ensure no adverse
"contamination" .
I think you're referring to
Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Here's the
Snopes explanation.
... on the same day that Apollo 11 was launched from Kennedy Space Center, the United States adopted Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, since known as the "Extra-Terrestrial Exposure Law."
The purpose ...was not to "make it illegal for U.S. citizens to have any contact with extraterrestrials or their vehicles";
the law allowed the government to prevent the possibility of biological contamination from pathogens carried to Earth by men and objects returning
from space ..."
A real law, intended for returning astronauts, not the common man, and since repealed.
The "Extraterrestrial Exposure" law was removed from the CFR in 1991, NASA having determined that it had "served its purpose" and was "no
longer in keeping with current policy," and is no longer in force.
