Denver Rejects UFO Agency To Track Aliens

Posted by samzenpus on from the name-and-galaxy-of-origin-please dept.

Republicans weren't the only ones to win big yesterday. Aliens in The Mile-High City can breathe easier thanks to voters rejecting a plan to officially track them. From the article: "The proposal defeated soundly Tuesday night would have established a commission to track extraterrestrials. It also would have allowed residents to post their observations on Denver's city Web page and report sightings." Let the anonymous probings begin!

    Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

    No, seriously. The Rocky Mountain Paranormal Society was a leading opponent to this because they felt it was embarrassing and people should keep looking for, y'know, ghosts, rather than aliens.

    In any case, it was to be funded by donations rather than taxes.
