UFO ballot initiative adopts hip-hop anthem

It is not every ballot initiative that has its own hip-hop song.

But then, how many times are voters asked to approve formation of a commission to study visitors from outer space?

Jeff Peckman, director of the extraterrestrial affairs commission ballot initiative, will launch a campaign to educate voters about his proposal this evening at 7 P.M. at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds.

Peckman collected signatures to have the measure placed on Denver’s Aug. 10 ballot. If it passes, the City of Denver will be required to create a seven-member commission tasked with collecting evidence that extraterrestrials and UFOs have been visiting Earth.

“Pink UFO,” a song by Chris Steele, of the hip-hop duo Calm, wrote and performs “Pink UFO,” which will be replayed at tonight’s event. The song, which is dedicated to the campaign, includes the refrain: “Pink UFO, Pink UFO, What truth do you know? What do you know?”

Peckman believes that the government is hiding evidence that technology found on an alien space craft that landed in Roswell, N.M., can cure cancer, among other things.

Steele apparently agrees. His lyrics include these lines:

“To politicians We’re come’n atcha with a Pink UFO Cuz you think we don’t know, that we’re really not alone

And about the

The cancer cure

You been hide’n for years

You don’t care about the people

losing money is your fear

People die, children cry, when governments lie

We all know there’s UFOs in the sky”

Peckman is hoping that the song will help popularize his cause.

“We hope to get the message out that technology from extraterrestrial origins has been withheld, and that it can cure cancer,” he said.
