Who could resist...



A great alien story like this jumping the 'kook-track' into mainstream media... gotta love my friends over at Wired Magazine...

And I quote:
A Denver-area man called

a well-attended press conference Friday to reveal video footage of what he claims is an alien peeping into a house.

The brief video was reportedly shot by a surveillance camera set up by Stan Romanek -- a Coloradan who claims he's been the target of alien abduction for years. Romanek wanted to know who was peering into his windows when he lived back in Nebraska, and he claims to have caught the image above on tape as the alien bobbed up and down. The video got into the hands of Jeff Peckman in Denver, who is calling for the city toset up a local Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission. No word yet if Denver's city fathers are considering the move.

These E.T. claims come and go, but this one somehow jumped the kook track over to mainstream media acceptance. The story appeared on every major news service, Fox News and CNN. It's difficult for the public to make a call on the story, beyond common sense, as different images are emerging online. The widely shared image above (which could feature anything from Stewie Griffin to a shrunken apple doll peeping to see if the soup's ready) contradicts the widely circulated video featuring a very puppet-ish alien nodding into view. (In truth, it couldn't look more like a puppet even if it sang, "It's not easy being green.") Some claim the video is a deliberate fake created by Denver reporters.


Here is Larry King's actual coverage of the story.  The funniest is watching the 're-enactment' videos... hilarious.

I can't believe those guys could keep a straight face (on the Larry King interview). If they would take their case to California they could totally get a commission formed to investigate.
