Billy's UFOs / Aliens Blog"Looney Toons" Alien ProposalYou have probably already heard about this: Man Pushes Creation of Panel: Prepare City for Space Aliens. Jeff Peckman had made a strange request of the Denver city council. He wants civil servants and emergency personnel ready... ready for an alien invastion. Poor Jeff has really taken the hits around the Net. He has been described as a "nut," "lunatic," and a "crazy," and even a "fag," because he is 54 years old, single, and lives with his parents. Peckman, it seems, is noted for his off-beat antics when it comes to legislation. He has a history of offering up some off-beat proposals, like his "stress reduction" ordinance, and a "safety through peace" offering.
Now, he has really hit his stride with his desire to pass a law that requires city employees to be educated in preparation for a possible alien invasion. "It is important because if you're driving down the highway and you saw a crash of a small spaceship and a car or a bus full of kids, you really wouldn't know what to do," Peckman said. "Do you wait for the hazardous materials experts to show up because of potential contaminants from another solar system? What do you do? People really don't know." By law, the city must hold a "review and comment" meeting on the alien proposal. Really, when you think about it, maybe it is not really that far fetched. There are government documents that validate similar training programs for emergency personnel, and many cities of our country have similar guidelines in their fire department and police charters. Wouldn't it be something if one day the impossible really happened? Do you think that this type of instruction should be a part of emergency personnel training?
