So whats more likely if you assume some sort of alien life..that they would use a bone system that evolution has proven on this planet to work (and as they are humaneque in appearance its safe(ish) to assume that something very similar would be the solution in their evolution) or that they have no bones, or bones made of rubber?
I make a rule never to try and find an excuse or explanation why something may be real. The moment anyone does that they are taking it outside of the realm of known facts in a case and into a land of fantasy and speculation. Just to be clear, I'm not aiming this at you in particular, but in ufology in general. In my oppinion a case stands or falls on its merits due to the known facts and any evidence when placed under examination.
RE the eyes:
There is only so far out you can take an eyeball before its going to cause a whole host of other anatomy problems. Added to those there's the small problem of the cranium / eyes ratio as well. You dont realy want eyes to be more than just under half way out of the eye openings in the skulll..or the animal / creature/ alien / human risk there eyeballs falling out far easier due to injury etc
