	Matthew J. GRAEBER	A Fatal Illusion The image of the alien in UFO culture has generally been dominated by an entity with a large, bald head. Usually the being is small compared to humans. Often the limbs and torso are described as thinner or more slender, but the more closely universal rule is that such aliens are never fat or obese. Current convention labels all approximations to this stereotypical ufonaut with the term Greys. Ostensibly this is because of the greyish skin tones usually being associated with this body type. In practice, absence of this defining trait does not inhibit use of the label so long as a big bald head appears somewhere in the description.	3-7

N. 68 September/1999 Heading Towards the Future Varicose Brains: Part Two N. 77 March/2002 HEADHUNT - Seeking the Degenerates among the Primitives (Varicose Brains - Part Three) Flying saucers mostly just flew around when they arrived in 1947. They didn't land much and we did not see much of who was piloting them. Only 4 or 5 such cases have been found we might fairly term CE3Ks. This contrasts sharply with the Airship Waves of 1896/97 where researchers have found 36 detailed CE3Ks, at east 14 of which are explicitly extraterrestrial. A few more seem to be so implicitly
