A video "that purportedly shows a living, breathing space alien will be shown to the news media Friday in Denver," according to a 3.28 story by Rocky Mountain News reporter Daniel J. Chacon.

Jeff Peckman, who, Chacon says, is "pushing a ballot initiative to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver to prepare the city for close encounters of the alien kind" (in other words...a nutbag!) said "the video is authentic and convinced him that aliens exist."

Peckman "said the general public will have to wait to see it because it's being included in a documentary by Stan Romanek." What? On top of which "no one will be allowed to film the segment with the extraterrestrial because there is an agreement in place limiting that kind of exposure during negotiations for the documentary." Peckman is allegedly sitting on conclusive proof of the existence of an alien life form and he's talking about contractual rights and whatnot?

An instructor at the Colorado Film School in Denver scrutinized the video "very carefully," Chacon reports, "and determined it was authentic, Peckman said." What instructor? Doe he have a name? My bullshit meter is doing somersaults.

Didn't con-men "documentary filmmakers" try this bullshit before in the 90's with the "ALIEN AUTOPSY" footage? Maybe we're good for one of these hoaxes every ten years. Can't wait!

I can't fucking wait for the X-Files movie.
I Want To Believe so badly!
However, Fox Mulder this guy is not.

The alien has probably sold his sold his (it's?) life story rights already anyway and I'd bet there's a treatment in the works.I'd go see it.

Because of the mounting economic difficulties here in New York City, an auction was recently held to raise revenue and I was able to purchase a slightly old and used, but magnificent bridge that connects the borough of Manhattan to the borough of Brooklyn. Unfortunately, my own financial situation forces me now to put the bridge up for sale, which I am willing to do at a very reasonable price. Were you to place tolls on it, you could probably earn back your investment and start turning a profit in no time. Feel free to contact me at this address if you are interested.

Alien for VP, he's undoubtably a Democrat and just the thing the Obama ticket needs. "I've traveled 10,000 light years to bring Americans free heath care". Let's just hope he's a Christian and cross our fingers that the video shows him wearing a flag pin.

Doug, that made my day. Especially since I have the deeds to the other two bridges in my hope chest.

Fox is going to unusual lengths to market the new "X-Files" film, no?

I can't believe that Rocky Mountain News scooped the Weekly World News on this story.

I just hope the alien doesn't have a magnetic crystal skull.

"It shows an extraterrestrial's head popping up outside of a window at night, looking in the window, that's visible through an infrared camera," he said. The alien is about 4 feet tall and can be seen blinking, Peckman said earlier this month.

OK Peckman, you got me by the nuts - but how many eyes are blinking?

Infrared and hand puppets anyone?

They'd better be careful before they hype this thing as Segway big. ;)

Soooo the media gets to see it on Friday and the public has to wait to see it in a in-limbo doc? What's the point of showing it to the media?

If this turns out to be the real-deal it would be the biggest news story/event in history. It's very earthling that someone would want to make a buck off of it first.
