No, it was Flavious Jospheus. I know my spelling of his name is off and I don't know where I put the book. I'll look it upon the web and correct it. Be back in a sec..
Here is the correct spelling - Flavius Josephus. I was close.

Here is everything that Josephus wrote about Jesus:
Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ. And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day; as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day. (Antiquities 18:63-64).
He also wrote a paragraph mentioning John the Baptist and another about James the Just.
As you can see, nothing about Jesus being ugly.
