The episode 'Wolf 359' (first broadcast in November 1964) featured an alien creature that sported the exact same face of what was to become the classic modern Grey, many years before the almond-eye shaped alien became the gold standard of alien abduction. | |

| Nov 13, 2014 at 22:22 | comment | added | Hypnosifl | The idea that future humans--and thus perhaps, advanced aliens--would have big bald heads and spindly short bodies had been around for a while in science fiction, see here, so that may have been a general influence on the Barney Hill, or a sort of influence-by-proxy on the Outer Limits episode which inspired Hill's hypnotic imaginings (the eyes do suggest he was influenced by that episode in particular). | |
