JEFF PECKMAN CELEBRITY – COUNCILMAN UNHAPPY

Posted by mclassen on May 30, 2008

Well it appears that Andy Warhol was wrong on this one. Jeff Peckman is definately receiving more than his 15 minutes of fame. As a matter of fact, so much is being made of this space alien video that he is promising to show that he is receiving phone calls from all over the world.

“I’ve got about four or five interviews already, and I’m in discussion with Inside Edition, Good Morning America, Fox national news and a Moscow TV station that wants to send a team,” Peckman, 54, said Thursday. His phone kept ringing all day. “NBC national wanted me in five different time slots tomorrow on different programs. I took three of them,” Peckman said Thursday afternoon. Yes, instant celebrity. Virtually every news service is contacting him. If nothing else, the subject has got the world talking. The video Peckman has promised was analysed by Colorado Film School instructor Jerry Hofmann. He describes it thus: “He kept the camera handy, and he saw this little gray (alien) running around his house. He saw it, so he got the camera out,” Hofmann said. “The thing is about 4 feet tall. The only thing that shows up in the video is his head. It pops up from underneath a window. But his eyes blink. His cheeks move. He turns his head side-to-side. The “He” Hofman mentions is Stan Romanek the man that actually shot the footage. All this attention has not pleased everyone. Denver City Councilman Charlie Brown said people can believe what they want, but the attention “is not very favorable to our city. Suddenly we’re getting more national and international attention on this issue than the DNC,” he said, referring to the Democratic National Convention in August. Apparently aliens really are coming to Denver. “In some respects, it’s a welcome relief amidst all the polarizing politics that we have,” Brown said. “That’s probably good, but it just doesn’t bode well for our city.” It seems, not everyone has fallen under Peckman’s spell. I can’t believe this guys name is really Charlie Brown. The interesting thing will be to see what Peckman and Romanek do with all of this new found fame. If Peckman’s making appearances, it means the money’s coming in. Has anybody thought that maybe Peckman and Romanek are actually aliens themselves and this is all a conspiracy to get themselves placed on a government commission so they can start taking over the planet? Hmmm? Has anybody run tests on these guys? It could be you know. More to come after they’ve shown the footage tonight.

    I hate to give the man any more attention, but as a Denver area resident I’m here to say I’m not too crazy about this nut job either. It’s sad that if he gets enough signatures he can actually get his ET commission proposal on the November ballot.

    Yes, and if it passes, that commission will become a waste of local tax dollars. The rumor is that this wasn’t even filmed around Denver, it was Nebraska in 2003.
