While I was surfing my usual collection of blogs the other day, I saw a story on Huffpo that simply delighted me. Sandwiched between all the usual crap was this gem:
ALIEN VIDEO TO BE REVEALED TO MEDIA TOMORROW, MAN CLAIMS
YES! If there's one thing that puts a smile on my face without fail, it's the media reporting stories about UFOs. I seriously love that shit. Whether or not I think UFOs exist (in the flying saucer, E.T. sense) is besides the point...I am not entirely sure what I think about it. What I enjoy is the fact that the story is either a. A legitimate mystery of such magnitude that the media deems it worthy (cool!), or b. the crowning achievement of a hoaxster (respect!)
Anyway, I was all excited to watch an authentic alien video today. As it turns out, I should have read the linked Rockey Mountain News article because the owner of this tape was only showing media, not the general public (me). I will have to wait for his mankind-changing documentary, apparently. Dang-o.
from the article:
A video that purportedly shows a living, breathing space alien will be shown to the news media Friday in Denver.
Jeff Peckman, who is pushing a ballot initiative to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver to prepare the city for close encounters of the alien kind, said the video is authentic and convinced him that aliens exist.
Heh. I would totally lobby to be part of that commission.
"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.
Hmmm. Sometimes it seems that aliens only choose to hang out where there is no danger of a Nikon D300 capturing their images in gorgeous high resolution, but have no issues with busted polaroids, handheld video cameras or infrared cameras. Ironically, they seem to be technophobes.
Article, if anyone's interested.
I did just now manage to find a still from this dude's video, and I am profoundly disappointed. I know...I just KNOW...that aliens don't have football shaped heads.
Viva extraterrestrials!
