I don't think I get the reference.

The Silence are a group of aliens who've been manipulating mankind since it existed. When you're not looking at them, you can't remember ever seeing them. You only remember them as long as you're looking right at them. Glance away, and it's like nothing has happened.

Thus, the people in the episode starting marking their hands/arms/faces with a soft pencil when they were looking right at one of the aliens. Afterwards they could look down, see the mark, and realize they'd just had an encounter and should probably leave the area.

One lady walked into a room with clean skin, turned around to leave, and realized she was covered in those tally marks. Turns out she'd seen several DOZEN of the aliens at once.

It's a reference to the latest season of Doctor Who(oof). Specifically "Day of the Moon".

There's an alien species called The Silence that make you forget you've seen them right after you stop looking at them. To partially counter this the characters start making tally marks on themselves whenever they see one.

Reference Explained.

That sounds almost like the Angel statues that can only do something if you don't look at them, bit repetitive isn't it?

^Hardly, the only similarity is the aspect of looking/not-looking at them.

They should have really shown "Doctor Who" in the german TV more often. It seems, that I missed a very good show in my past.
Also there are pretty creative Aliens/Monsters it seems.

At first I thought it was a reference to those Angel statues in the episode "Blink", but turns out that it is completely different.

"Blink" is fucking scary too...
