Origin of iconic alien face?

Kind of agree (maybe not literally...
As I recall my first impression was "not very plausible".
If those are eyeBALLS then the eyeballs and the sockets that enclose them take up 100% of the interior of that skull.
Give that picture to an anthropologist who does reconstructions of...
Anecdotes about people seeing the cover of Whitley Strieber's Communion (1987) for the first time and it triggering a reaction in them such as the shock of recognition or the sudden stirring of a memory are numerous.
Some time later I was in a...
I'm reminded of a man I knew, the son of a friend of mine, whose self-published book had a chapter on the supposed health benefits of rectally administered ozone. Of course, other chapters in the book concerned the gold standard for money, why...
Yes and no to deliberate downgrading.
There are certainly militaries like the US that downgrade official picture releases to mask their overall capabilities, but some of it may not be so deliberate. Covering up sensitive information(usually times...
The military grade IR cameras are for sure capable of HD or higher resolution. Not all of them (as older types are in use too), but modern equipment has high resolution. It is just down graded when made available to the public.
Keep in mind a thermal camera is super different from an optical camera, because thermal wavelengths are much larger. The best sensors are still 640x480 — that's what these Reapers have. And the germanium lenses are big and heavy and crazy...
Recent photos from the Apollo missions, released through the PURSUE system, appear to show unidentified objects that are likely not physical craft, but rather optical artifacts inherent to the Hasselblad 500EL camera system. My cross-analysis of...

What if their skulls go backwards like this? Plenty of space! (a frequent claim is that the alien faces are only seen from the front).

It would be interesting if we could find a suggestion like this that pre-dates Ray Santilli's 1995 Alien Autopsy film hoax, Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Autopsy_(1995_film), in which a pathologist or whatever uses tweezers to...
Would be a waste of time anyway.
The classifying authority still has to maintain OPSEC.
A standard "neither confirm or deny" is the only option (before raining hell on the folks responsible for the counter- intelligence failure).

Keane's art looks like Twiggy. It was also popular to accent the eyes with eye shadow etc at the time. Google AI:
"In the late 1960s, the "Mod" makeup movement transformed eyes into the main focal point of the face. Black eyeshadow was used...
And personally, I don't really think they contacted the RAF to get approval at all. Instead, it's likely they simply wanted an official comment to include in an upcoming story. This seems to have been standard practice when writing stories like...
