During the course of his project, Lewis put up posters around the town to track down those who
have spotted UFOS, chartered a small plane to fly over the town, commissioned UFO models
based on sightings and was a guest of many of the town's residents. The photographs in the book
range from portraits of Meyrick Sheen (father to Michael, who had a career as a Jack Nicholson
lookalike), Captain Beany, and Miss Wales, to images the town's urban infrastructure and
surrounding landscapes interrupted by man-made structures. The story behind each photograph
is unique.
'I am not interested in the truth. I am interested in the folklore surrounding it and the stories
it produces. I am interested in the people. I like how people project their own ideas about the
universe when talking about UFOs.
