It seems that YOU missed the whole story, and didn't read the thread appropriately. The guy that took the pictures was a REPORTER. João Martins, a brazilian photographer from the extinct magazine "O Cruzeiro", and this magazine was one of the first in the history, to publish cases of UFO sightings. Mainly in Brazil. If wasn't wrong this photographer had large experience with UFO sightings and this may explain why he jumped so fast to take pictures of them.
In the '50s, in the USA, there was a massive "venus-light-weather-balloon-usaf-secret-experiment" government/military propaganda, to debunk the UFO phenomena. But there wasn't this pressure in Brazil. I bet that João Martins was just a smart guy with his camera that wasn't under the pressure of north-american propaganda.

Don't get me wrong- her eyes are VERY unusual. But the eyelashes aren't what's odd, especially for the time period.

I got all that. Explain to me why he was so eager and ready to take her picture but not the spaceship.

You are talking as if I was present in that conference.
I'm assuming that the reaction of João Martins was quick due his experience with UFO sightings.
I can't prove this and again it's an assumption. Despite the really odd looking of the 3 strangers, I just bet my two cents, that nobody there, indeed may have believed they ACTUALLY were from Venus.
I can just assume that nobody, nor even João Martins, was really READY to take a shot of a possible alien spaceship rocketing up from the woods. Or maybe he just leaved the place before the craft be seen.
Are you from USA?? Maybe you can take your own research with people from California, people that live in Mount Palomar area and may have been present in the conference.
One thing, though: the mark above her nose looks more like a scar to me. I have a similar mark in the same place from a fishing accident, and it looks about the same (except not quite as long) as the mark the woman has.
