It likely won't top anything by Dan Brown on the bestseller list, but its a curious read for readers curious about the prospect of alien life.
In his 2005 book "Alien Rock: The Rock 'n' Roll Extraterrestrial Connection" author Michael C Luckman delves into UFO sightings by the stars.
Among the most famous of UFO gazers is the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger, who developed an interest in extraterrestrial phenomena after a close encounter of the third kind in the 1960s.
"Mick Jagger has been very involved with the subject of UFOs for many years," says Luckman.
"In 1968 he went camping in Glastonbury with his then girlfriend, singer Marianne Faithful, and encountered a rare, luminous cigar-shaped mothership. Around the same time Mick had a UFO detector installed at his British estate. The alarm kept on going off whenever he left home, indicating the presence of strong electromagnetic activity in the immediate area."
Jagger also famously spotted a UFO during The Rolling Stones' 1969 Altamont Concert in California.
Other stars who have reported out-of-this-world sightings include: Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, Muhammad Ali, Ronald Reagan, David Bowie, Will Smith, Robbie Williams, and, most infamously, Beatles legend John Lennon.
Lennon reportedly had "personal contact" with otherworldly beings, says Luckman.
"John Lennon was apparently given a small egg shaped metallic-looking object which he in turn gave to Uri Geller, the psychic. He didn't know what the purpose of it was, but he claimed he had been given it by an extraterrestrial."
Product Description (from Amazon):
From Elvis to the Beatles, from Michael Jackson to Marilyn Manson, rock stars claim to have seen, communed with, been inspired by, and sometimes even descended from extraterrestrials. Alien Rock is an irreverent, illuminating, all-access pass to the stars' unearthly encounters--some friendly, some frightening, and some frankly bizarre, including:
• The birth of Elvis was marked by the appearance of a mysterious blue light over his house.
• In August 1974, John Lennon spied a UFO from the window of the penthouse he shared with then-girlfriend, May Pang.
• Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull encountered a luminous cigar-shaped mothership while camping in the English countryside in 1968.
• Jimi Hendrix told a friend, "I am a spiritual messenger, sent here from another place."

- Good Karma and the Zodiacs
As I realized recently (31/08/2009), there is another reason why AFOs(Alien Flying Object) are trying to be invisible.
Sky is strewn by them around the world. There are so many AFOs spaceships in heaven, that if they deactivated their invisibility, the sky above the earth will become a chess board, where the black squares will represent aliens spacecrafts. Earth would be twice darker during the day.
Recently I wrote article "Solution to the problem of Correlation of Matter and Field" where I solved fundamental problem in Physics about Matter and Field and where I discovered the physical laws of field that Aliens use in their spaceships.
