But county police detective A. J. Stark has other issues to deal with: A stranger is in town doing good things for the needy,

attack on the United States. The country was on terrorist watch. A no-fly zone had been established around the nation’s
capitol. Radar at several Washington-area airports scanned the skies for any threat of attack. This was not a good time for
an unidentified flying object to approach the capitol. Suddenly, an hour after midnight, fighter jets were scrambled
when radar picked up a UFO twenty miles from the nation's capitol. Two witnesses went public and reported the pursuit
by the F-16s of a large orange disk-shaped object. I was one of the two witnesses... and this is my story.”
