In events reminiscent of the unveiling of Ray Santilli’s ‘alien autopsy’ film in the 1990s, Denver, Colorado, has been the scene for a media circus revolving around an alleged piece of evid­ence that ET walks among us.


It began with news that 54-year-old Denver man Jeff Peckman was sponsoring a ballot initiative to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission that would help prepare humankind (or, at least, the residents of Denver) for first contact and peaceful coexistence with aliens. According to Peckman: “the evidence is irrefutable that there are extraterrestrials that have visited Earth frequently,” but this evidence is being covered up by the US government.
