Is a Nebraskan alien a peeping tom?

In 2003, a Nebraskan father, concerned that someone was spying on his teenage daughter's bedroom, set up an infrared camera to catch the peeping tom red-handed. Jeff Peckman claims that what he captured was the ultimate proof of extra-terrestrial visitors and has since been pushing a ballot initiative to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver - "to prepare the city for close encounters of the alien kind".

Peckman had the footage analyzed by a number of media professionals, including an instructor at the Colorado Film School in Denver, Jerry Hofmann, who "scrutinized the video 'very carefully' and determined it was authentic."

Hoffman said: "There is no doubt in my mind - it's not a trick done in special effects. I have equipment that will test to see if that shot was recorded originally on that tape, which it was. Had it been fake, it would have been very, very, very expensive, it was not done in post production or in a special effects system, or a computer, it wasn't done that way."

He went on to say that there was no way for him to know whether or not the alien is real, just that the video hadn't been tampered with or modified in any way.

Peckman held a press conference at the Auraria Higher Education Center (Auraria campus) in Denver where he unveiled the footage. Reports so far have been...politely skeptical, with headlines such as "A visitor from another world – or just a dirty old man with a ladder?" being the more common theme.

Reports leading up to the press conference suggested that Pekman will be unveiling other related "credible evidence" proving aliens exist, however this amature reporter was unable to find any further information on this evidence. In stead, I offer you the video in question.

So what do you think? Alien, peeping tom or marsh gases?
