Is Stan Romanek truly "The World's Most Documented Extraterrestrial Contact Story" as his Web site proclaims?
Or just a guy trying to drum up galactic free publicity for his upcoming book ("Messages: The Stan Romanek Story") and a documentary film "expected to be released to the world soon," according to stanromanek.com
The Colorado Springs man claims to have the "most scientifically documented human/extraterrestrial encounters in the world. There have been well over 100 individually unique experiences that Stan has encountered since December, 2000," Romanek's Web site claim.
For a guy bursting with documentation, Romanek didn't show up when UFO believers gave the press and public a brief glimpse of his two-minute video today at the Auraria campus. The presenters wouldn't allow outsiders to document Romanek's documentation with cameras, saying they want more expert analysis of the video before it's released publicly.
Romanek's Web site says he's experienced more than one alien abduction, during which inter-galactic aliens gave him ground-breaking mathematical equations. The formulas, he says, show "our solar system represented by ten dots and a circle."
Yet, he writes, "It wouldn't be until years later that scientists would discover a tenth planet in our solar system and name it, 'Xenia' or 'Planet X.' "
The Web site features grainy photographs of a "reddish" UFO — a "stubby misshapen, disk-shaped object" — that Romanek said hovered over his house and some mystery phenomenon that he claims appeared in the darkened doorway of his bathroom.
For the politically inclined UFO curious, there's also links to "Hillary Clinton About UFOs" and "Presidents & UFOs." And — you guessed — Vice President Dick Cheney is "rumored to be an inside player in what the government really knows about the (UFO) mystery," the Web site claims.

Colorado Springs is home to the religious right, the violent wrong and now the flying nutjobs. But enough about the Air Force Academy.
