UFOs ON Capito Hitt UFOs CAPITOL HILL July 1952 was famous for a UFO flypast over Washington, DC, and sightings exactly half a century later on Capitol Hill within restricted airspace confirm that the US Government is still not prepared to divulge what it knows about UFOs. s I write this article in June 2005, the official American policy of plausible deniability, distraction and public dissuasion regarding UFOs is now more than 50 years old. This policy is currently supported by nearly all politicians, Pentagon officials and members of the media regardless of their political or religious affiliation. The policy began to emerge in 1942, due to increasing numbers of military encounters with UFOs during World War II. However, the current policy didn't achieve its mandate until the year 1952, as dramatically growing numbers of UFO sight- ings worldwide were viewed by a range of responsible American leaders as the beginning of a possible alien invasion. In 1952, during the month of July, many of the world's newspapers reported that dozens of strange, spherical, glowing, unidentified aircraft were sighted by hundreds of eyewitnesses above the nation's Capitol. These objects had registered on radar as they flew over Washington, DC, and F-94 jets were scrambled to intercept but they were easily outmanoeuvred by the UFOs. The UFOs reportedly were loitering in the area for many hours through the night on at least two occasions and were able to appear and disappear mysteriously at will. There were very few photographic images taken of those events, but they are impressive. And yet, when those strange, glowing, unidentified aircraft returned again exactly 50 years later in July 2002, only a few media sources reported a brief but failed UFO intercept by F-16s. Most Americans had no idea that this was just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, the events that occurred during 2002 were even more enigmatic than those of 1952 because of the incredibly clear, high-resolution, night-time photographs that were taken. Colour images captured on high-speed film by a professional photographer show conclusively that during the month of July 2002, on 4th and 16th, there were a number of UFOs flying over the restricted air space of the Capitol Building and the Washington Monument. And as incredible as it sounds, they provide evidence that on July 16, UFOs encircled and landed on the Capitol Building roof and the surrounding park area late that night! Here's what happened. On July 16 at approximately 12.30 am, a professional photogra- pher from Washington, DC, was shooting an album cover for a recording artist using the Reflecting Pool and Capitol Building as a background. Based on the photographer's testi- mony and the two images that he took, there were no other people on the Capitol Building grounds at that time. However, what is clear from these two images is that there were at least five UFOs that penetrated restricted air space in that location. At least two of these vehicles actually landed for a brief period. As that was occurring, one of the other UFOs entered the Reflecting Pool and submerged while yet another UFO hovered nearby over the water, emitting an eerie-looking energy field that reflected light beneath it. The DC photographer captured all of these images with a Nikon F-5 camera equipped with a very expensive, distortion-free, AF-ED 600-mm F2.8 lens mounted on a tripod. The exposure time was one-fifteenth of a second on high-speed film, ISO 1600. The ISO meter on the camera was set at 1200 to slightly overexpose the film and increase the over- all density of the image. After taking the two pictures in front of the Capitol Building, the DC photographer then moved to a different location on the edge of the Capitol Building's Lower Senate Park. by Robert Stanley © UNICUS Magazine, June 2005 1147 Manhattan Avenue #43 Manhattan Beach, CA 90266, USA Website: http://www.unicusmagazine.com by Robert Stanley © UNICUS Magazine, June 2005 Website: http://www.unicusmagazine.com NEXUS * 55 Photographic Evidence of UFOs Landing on Capitol Hill, Washington, DC AUGUST — SEPTEMBER 2005 www.nexusmagazine.com
