Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver

The campaign to put a measure on the November ballot to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver is being put on hold.

“We’re targeting the 2009 ballot,” said Jeff Peckman, 54, who’s been backing the initiative.

He said once the signatures have been gathered, an intensive public education campaign on the subject will be launched.

“We want to go deeply into this topic,” he said.

Peckman made his comments as part of his introduction of Steven M. Greer, the founder of The Disclosure Project, who spoke at the Tivoli Student Union on Wednesday night.

More than 400 people packed into the Turnhalle room to hear Greer talk about his efforts to collect testimony and documents from government and military officials about their knowledge and experience with UFOs and alien technology.

“Everyone wants to know, but no one wants to do something about it,” Greer said.

Greer also was asking for public support for the Orion Project, in which a team of scientists and engineers will develop a device that will run on free, limitless, clean energy from space – something similar to what extraterrestrials use to power their spacecrafts, he said.

He said such a device would completely eliminate the need for fossil fuels, coal and nuclear power plants for the world’s energy needs.

“We can do it, not in our lifetime but in the next couple of years,” he said.

Greer also called for contact with extraterrestrials, whom he said are peaceful, and praised Peckman’s effort to have a commission formed to deal with them.

Several of the people who attended the talk have followed Greer’s work for years.

Candice Powers, 55, of Boulder, said she had heard nothing new at the talk but was surprised that Greer was talking more about the push to find alternative energy sources.

“I thought he was going to do a lot more with encounters with ETs,” she said.

Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission Could Be On Ballot

DENVER — If space aliens landed in Denver’s City Park, would the city’s first responders be ready?

It may sound far-out, but it was one of the issues addressed Thursday in the review and comment meeting for the Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission ballot initiative.

Denver Resident Jeff Peckman firmly believes we are not alone.
