"Oriental Eyes" and Skin Colouration Noted In Entity Reports

 

Regarding skin colouration reported in UFO such as "yellowish" are all based on environment, etc. Lighter skin in Europe to absorb more Vitamin D, In fact the rarest skin colour is blue and that is caused by   a rare genetic blood disorder called methemoglobinemia ( where the iron in hemoglobin is oxidized from its normal ferrous state to the ferric state, rendering it unable to carry oxygen effectively) or even certain acquired conditions like argyria (Argyria is a rare condition where the skin, nails and other tissues develop a permanent blue-grey discolouration due to chronic exposure to silver) 

Humans have different skin colours due to a combination of genetics and environmental factors the primary one being the intensity of ultra violet radiation from the Sun.  Therefore, you find that people in sunny regions closer to the equator have darker skin to protect against sun damage by producing more melanin, while those in areas with less sun have lighter skin, which helps the body produce essential vitamin D.   Skin tones can vary in the various regions from lighter to very dark.

Skin colouration does not indicate anything other than that and humans are humans and as for  "green skin" olive skin naturally has yellowish-green undertones.  As we know absolutely nothing about alien life forms we can only assume that "as on Earth so in Space"!

We then have "they had eyes like Chinese" or "they had very slanted eyes like Japanese people" (Mrs Church, New Zealand, August, 1944) and "little Oriental space man".  Despite those descriptions the "slanted eyes"  can also be applied to some white people although, as we are about to learn, it does not depend on ethnicity.

The 1974 Aveley, Essex alleged UFO abduction had a botched investigation but it needs to be pointed out that the more humanoid entities matched the one sighted at Ewloe in 1975 not to mention other reports where very light skin and pinkish eyes were noted and the clothing matched.

The term "slanted eyes" is frowned on in modern times although not everyone knows to call it an "epicanthic fold" or epicanthus.  This is a  skin fold of the upper eye-lid that covers the inner corner (medial canthus) of the eye.  Variation occurs in the nature of this feature and the presence of "partial epicanthic folds" or "slight epicanthic folds" is noted in the relevant literature. Various factors influence whether epicanthic folds form, including ancestry, age, and certain medical conditions.

The primary cause of the epicanthic fold is the hypertrophy of the preseptal (anterior to the orbital septum) portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle -a sphincter-like muscle in the face that closes the eyelids. It arises from the nasal part of the frontal bone, from the frontal process of the maxilla in front of the lacrimal groove, and from the anterior surface and borders of a short fibrous band, the medial palpebral ligament

In fact, the shape of the epicanthic fold has led to four types being recognised:

·                    Epicanthus supraciliaris runs from the brow, curving downwards towards the lachrymal sac.

·                    Epicanthus palpebralis begins above the upper tarsus and extends to the inferior orbital rim.

·                    Epicanthus tarsalis originates at the upper eyelid crease and merges into the skin near the medial canthus. This is the type most often found in East Asians.

·                    Epicanthus inversus runs from the lower eyelid skin over the medial canthus and extends to the upper lid.^[

When it comes top "Ethnogeographic distribution" one has to thank Wikipedia:

The highest frequency of occurrence of epicanthic folds is found in specific populations or ethnicities: East Asians, Southeast Asians, Central Asians, North Asians, Polynesians, Micronesians, Indigenous peoples of the Americas, Sámi people and some African people (especially among Khoisan and Nilotic people). Among South Asians, they occur at very high frequencies among the Nepalis, Bhutanese, Northeast Indians, Kirati people and certain Adivasi (the heterogeneous tribal groups across the Indian subcontinent.The term Adivasi, a 20th-century construct meaning "ancient inhabitants", is now widely used as a self-designation by many of the communities who are officially recognized as "Scheduled Tribes" in India and as "Ethnic minorities" in Bangladesh) tribes of Eastern and Southern India. Also commonly found in Northern India, especially in Kashmir. The Hazara people in Afghanistan and Pakistan commonly have this trait. Some people in Eastern/Northern Pakistan have this trait.

In some of these populations, the trait is almost universal. This is especially true in Japan and South Korea, where a majority, up to 90% in some estimations, of adults naturally have this feature.  In Southern China and Southeast Asia it's about 70 % having the feature, while 30 % naturally have double eyelids.

The epicanthic fold is often associated with greater levels of fat deposition around the eyeball. The adipose tissue is thought to provide greater insulation for the eye and sinuses from the effects of cold, especially from freezing winds, and to represent an adaptation to cold climates. It has also been postulated that the fold itself may provide a level of protection from snow blindness. Though its appearance in peoples of Southeast Asia can be linked to possible descent from cold-adapted ancestors, this does not explain its occurrence in various African peoples. The epicanthic fold found in many African people has been tentatively linked to protection for the eye from the high levels of ultraviolet light found in desert and semi-desert areas.

The exact evolutionary function and origin of epicanthic folds remains unknown. Scientific explanations include either random variation and selection (presumably sexual selection), or possible adaption to desert environment and/or high levels of ultraviolet light found in high-altitude environments, such as the Himalayas.

It is clear that many physiological aspects of entities encountered at UFO landings are not (in external look at least) dissimilar to humans in eye and skin type. But what of eyes described a pinkish/red (iris and pupil)? Brown is the most common iris colour world-wide and is genetically dominant to all other iris colors. Green is the rarest eye color in less than 5% of the world population. Although there are countless color combinations, the main color groups are classified as brown, blue, gray, hazel, green, and amber. So pink or "red"? Again not unexplainable.

A  red or pink-appearing iris in humans is an extremely rare condition and typically caused by albinism, a genetic condition resulting in little or no melanin (pigment) in the eye. The red colour described is not a pigment itself but  the result of light reflecting off the tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye and the iris itself becoming visible. 

When we consider the fact that in some of these cases the entity is described as pale or "white as a ghost" it could well be albinism is normal.

The bottom line is that we can only go by what is reported and it is interesting that in cases that do seem to be genuine the pink/red and "Chinese" or "Japanese" eye types are common.
