Of heavy build, he was wearing headgear similar to an Arab’s, and had on a uniform, with boots & gloves, of an off white fluorescent heavy satin, or perhaps fine metallic mesh. Around the waist was a ribbed belt. He had huge round eyes, 2.5-3” in diameter, in which were reticulations “resembling the filaments in old electric light bulbs;” these eyes were either luminous or reflected the car’s headlights.
