In many accounts they are portrayed as:

Typical features include:
- height ranging from 2 to 2.5 meters
- extremely pale or white skin
- slender body structure
- large eyes

Charles Hall testimony
One of the most well-known stories involving Tall Whites comes from Charles Hall, a former U.S. Air Force serviceman.
