Tin Foil Hats For Denver

Monday, June 2nd, 2008 at 2:19 pm by Jami

Reader Tyler Anderson uncovered a dark plot by aliens to spy on our little girls. Okay, not really.

In response to what he believes is legitimate video proof of alien life, concerned Denver resident Jeff Peckman wants Denver citizens to vote on an initiative that would create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver. The video in question shows a wide pale head with large black eyes peering into a window. Peckman screened the footage for a select group of reporters but refuses to release it to the general public at this time. The footage will be released at a later date as part of a documentary.

The screen grab above is from the official video which sucks because you can’t see shit. Almost looks like a Punisher t-shirt. io9 has reenactment footage that has some cute overdubbed audio.

Peckman has sort of done himself a disservice. By keeping the footage so close to the chest, he damages his credibility. If he really thinks is teh alienz, why not let the world see and be convinced for themselves? And now that we’ve got that reenactment footage, a lot of news services and blogs may mistakenly pass that off as the Peckman’s footage. Double fucked. Also, he’s proposing the creation of a new commission paid for by tax dollars in the middle of an economic down turn. Tax payers won’t be happy funding Denver’s X-Files when they’re trying to decide whether to buy gas or groceries because they don’t have the money for both. Sorry Peckman, you’re triply fucked.

Thanks for keeping an eye on Denver, Tyler. We’ll have to see in November if the citizens rise up against the aliens.

Does that look like the Punisher shirt reflecting on the window?

That’s not an alien, that’s Cthulu! The Old One just wanted to see if anyone was home.

I’m of the opinon that if a species is capable of traveling across the stars to peep into our windows like pervs, they should more that capable of not being caught on verifiable film. They are probably making nature shows about us humans. Observing our habits and marveling at our tiny heads and eyes.

Or it’s their version of cow tipping, seeing how much coverage they get for screwing with the media. Course screwin’ with the media does indeed sound like fun

I agree with Kevin actually. You’re telling me if all you had to do to get international news coverage was peek in some dudes window while he was filming with a shitty night vision camera and there was like 0% chance any one would really believe him and you’re not subject to this planets laws any way… you wouldn’t?

The video viewing was open to the public… you just had to be in Denver, I believe it was. The reason it cannot be distributed over the interwebs is because the footage is from a documentary and there is some contract that restricts how the footage can be viewed before the release of said documentary….

I know Peckman has a past of wanting to do off the wall political stuff (something about stress free life style or some such with his last go around), but are we sure this isn’t some sort of hype to make some bucks off the alien documentary?

Come on I totally want to see this “proof”… I WANT TO BELIEVE!!!!
