Purported UFO video to be shown Friday

This ought to be rich...

http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/may/28/purported-ufo-video-be-shown-friday/

"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."

""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."

5. You have got to be kidding me

That's what they're passing off as video evidence?

Apparently extraordinary claims now demand half-assed evidence.

9. I don't understand, or rather, I don't see

I saw the full size video frame at Swallowing The Camel and I don't see anything in the window. I mean, nothing at all -- it's just black. Where's the alien?

10. look closely at just above the window sill, center area

It looks like the Punisher symbol (kind of skull like) peering over the sill..You may have to look closely at the monitor to see it.

11. Ah, thanks!

I increased my display adapter's red gamma value quite a bit and now I can clearly see it.

Reminds me of this guy...

6. I just don't get it...

They fly halfway across the galaxy to peek in windows at night?

God, it must be boring on their home planet.

8. Well the fellow that shot it first said that he thought it was a peeping tom...

because he has teenage daughters.

It would appear that Mr. Alien has some issues.

13. the hilarious thing is

the video that one is parodying wasn't even the original. Some group made a "fake" alien video to prove how easy it would be to do, and now the whole internet thinks the fake is real. It's awesome :D
