by a former ABC news photog
rapher who spent eight years
assigned to the Whlte House.
According to Stanley, Wash
ington, D.C., has the high-
·est rate of UFO sightings in the
world. Beginning With the first
crop of unidentifiable spheres
seen above Capitol Hill in 1952,
his book chronicles the experi
ences and opinions of numer
ous UFO investigators and
retired military officials, among
them Air Force Col. Wendelle
Stevens., a fighter pilot who
became a UFO investigator after
retiring from the military.
"I recall a fi~ter intercept
where two jets were vectored in
on a formation of five or six illu
minated spheres that were zip
ping around the Capitol area,"
Stevens says in the book. "The
UFOs evaded the jets every
time."
Stanley has been interested
in UFOs since he was a young
child, when his uncle showed
him a picture of a spherical sil~
ver disk appearing to sink verti
cally into a California desert.
Growing up in Malibu, the
son of an ordained Self-Realiza
tion Fellowship minister, Stan
ley said he believes in God, but
that such faith doesn't nulli-
fy the search for extraterrestri
allife. "If God created this world
with life" he said, "then why
couldn't he create other worlds
with life?"
After graduating from Santa
Monica College, Stanley worked
in the emerging technologies
department at Honda Motor
Co. After retiring from the job in
2003, he began worldng as edi
tor of Unicus, a magazine pub
lished by his wife, Irene Chen,
whom Stanley met at a UFO
conference 14 years ago.
Unicus ("unique" in Latin) is
billed as a "magazine for earth
bound extraterrestrials."
"I know that there's a ridicule
factor; I've dealt with it a long
time," he said. "You can dispute
this all day long. Anybody's wel
come to dispute whether these
are all lens flares [in the photo
graphs], but what about all the
eyewitness accounts? Are all
these people nuts?"
Clearly, crying "alien" isn't
easy. But Stanley's not the only
one doing it.
There have been numer-
ous accounts from well-known
and so-called "credible" figures
throughout history. John Len
non, David Bowie, former Pres
ident Ronald Reagan - even
Christopher Columbus, who
spotted a "light glimmering at a
great distance" while sailing to
the New World in 1492-have
all claimed to have seen UFOs.
These days, more than half (56
percent) of the American pub
lic believe in UFOs, according to
a 2002 Roper poll. Not only that,
but nearly as many ( 48 percent)
believe that UFOs have visit-
ed Earth, the poll said. "I think
a lot of people see these things,"
Stanley said, "but who are you
going to report it to?"
There are a few organizations
set up to field such reports. The
National UFO Reporting Cen
ter in the state of Washington,
for one, gets about 3,000 e-mails
and phone calls a year.
In 1976, former President
Jimmy Carter claimed to have
seen something strange above
the skies of Leary, Ga., (debunk
ers have called his sighting a
misidentification of Venus).
"It was the darndest thing 5
I've ever seen," Carter reported-

Debate will probably go on
forever on puzzling and
controversial crop circles.
But do they shape an area
to become a hot property?
BRIGIT CUNNINGHAM
discusses the phenomenon
A
WILTSHIRE writer is
claiming that the
appearance of the county's
world famous crop circles is directly
linked to the testing of biological and
chemical weapons on armed forces
personnel at Porton Down.
Jean-Paul Warner believes his fictione
fantasy An Angel Came Down will cause
controversy amongst crop circle
enthusiasts by claiming to reveal the
real origins of Wtltshire's world-famous
crop circles.

well raise eyebrows.
In the UK, simple circles have
appeared on farmland for generations.
By 1990, they exploded into the public
imagination as they developed into huge
and complex geometric formations, the
majority appearing around ancient site~
such as Stonehenge, Avebury and
Silbury Hill (the largest man-made
mound in Europe). Their huge size and
complexity convinced many that they
were the work of extra-terrestrials
whose UFOs have supposedly been
captured on video.

THEY glow, move across
the sky at incredible speed

The mysterious shapes have
for decades been cited by
UFO enthusiasts as proof that
we have attracted visitors
from another world.
Defence chiefs, however, have a
rather more prosaic explanation
for the glowing objects in the sky.
After four years of study they
have concluded that they are not
flying saucers, but 'plasmas' of
gas caused by charges of electric

The study by the Defence Intel
