The Wrinkled Faces — a short, wrinkled, tanned-skinned humanoid type documented almost entirely by its two distinct eye variants, rendered in the indigo-charcoal dossier style used across the Alien Type Archive.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
Wrinkled Faces
The Wrinkled Faces entry on this network’s own older archive is a striking case of a template left almost entirely blank on purpose: a short, tanned, wrinkled-skinned humanoid with two distinctly documented eye variants, and almost nothing else filled in. Every biometric figure, every named program, and every origin claim added since traces to no source at all.
Name: Wrinkled Faces
AKA: Undocumented; “The Elders,” “Tan Humanoids,” and “The Ancient Ones” were not located in the source
Location – Home System: Undocumented; no source names Tau Ceti, Epsilon Eridani, or any other system
Distance from Earth: Undocumented
Attitude: Undocumented
Motives: Undocumented
Physical Appearance:
- Average Height: Described in the source only as “fairly short,” with no specific figure given
- Average Weight: Undocumented
- Body Temperature: Undocumented
- Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented
- Blood Pressure: Undocumented
- Life Expectancy: Undocumented
- Hair: Undocumented
- Skin: Wrinkled, tanned skin
- Eyes: Two distinct variants are documented. Group A: larger than human, blue irises, white pupils shaped as a horizontal diamond slit. Group B: human-shaped, black irises, vivid blue pupils
- Sex: Both male and female individuals are documented
Other Physical Information: Undocumented
Special Traits and Abilities: Undocumented
Communication Type: Undocumented
Origin: Undocumented
Life Form Type: Humanoid
Subspecies: Undocumented as a formal classification; the source documents two eye-type variants (see Physical Appearance) without naming them as subspecies
Most Common Species: Undocumented
Level of Species: Undocumented
Habits: Undocumented
Transportation Type: Undocumented
Witnesses Reports: The source states only that there are “quite a number of eyewitness reports of fairly short extraterrestrials with a wrinkled, tanned skin,” met by abductees; no named individual, military program, or dated incident is given
Special Features/Characteristics: Both male and female individuals of this type have reportedly been encountered by abductees; no further detail is documented
Summary/Description: A short, wrinkled, tanned-skinned humanoid type, documented almost entirely by its distinctive eyes, which come in two variants — a white, horizontal-diamond-slit pupil with a blue iris, and a human-shaped eye with a black iris and vivid blue pupil. Beyond this, the source leaves nearly every field undocumented.

DETAILED REPORT
The Wrinkled Faces entry is unusual among this network’s own established archive pages for how much of its original template was left blank. Location, distance, attitude, motives, height, weight, body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, life expectancy, special traits, communication type, origin, formal subspecies naming, level of species, habits, and transportation type are all empty fields in the source. What is documented is narrow but specific: wrinkled, tanned skin; two distinct eye variants (a white, horizontal-diamond-slit pupil with a blue iris, versus a human-shaped eye with a black iris and vivid blue pupil); both male and female individuals; and a general statement that “quite a number” of eyewitness reports describe fairly short beings matching this description.
No named research figure (“K. Wilson”), military program (“Project Preserve Destiny”), or technical case-file designation (“CASS-20B,” “Project GODAR”) appears in the source located for this entry. Everything describing origin, biology, mission, or military connection in an earlier draft of this page was added without a traceable source.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
The Wrinkled Faces — A Template Left Mostly Blank, Later Filled with Invention
- Source Chain: This entry traces to this network’s own earlier archive page, not to Muller’s guide, the ARB, or Danaan — and that page itself leaves nearly every field blank rather than guessing.
- Genuine Detail Preserved: The two-variant eye description is specific and consistently documented, and is the strongest identifying feature this type actually has. It has been preserved exactly as originally recorded.
- No Named Program Located: “K. Wilson,” “Project Preserve Destiny,” and the “CASS-20B” designation do not appear in the source located for this entry. They are not carried forward as documented fact.
- Evidentiary Weight: The source’s own honesty about what it doesn’t know — leaving fields blank rather than filling them — is itself informative, and this page preserves that rather than resolving the gaps with invented specifics.
The Wrinkled Faces are, on the documented record, defined almost entirely by their eyes — a genuinely distinctive, twice-confirmed detail — and very little else. That’s a thinner record than most entries in this archive, and it’s preserved here as exactly that thin, rather than padded out to look more complete than it is.
The source’s own description of the eyes:
“their irises are black. Where we have a black pupil, their pupils are vivid blue.”
