On Tuesday the Los Angeles Times reported that on election day Denver voters will decide whether or not to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission.

Jeff Peckman, one of the major supporters of Initiative 300, has gathered enough signatures to get the initiative on the ballot. 

The initiatives mission statement:

It’s a BIG universe but we need to share it with others who are not from Earth.
Our grand mission is dedicated to ensuring the health, safety and welfare of human beings in relation to interactions with extraterrestrial beings, and to creating peaceful, harmonious, and mutually beneficial relationships between all beings in the universe.

The article states that the initiative would create a seven-person expert panel that would be charged with:

— Dealing with credible citizen reports of UFOs or contacts with extraterrestrial intelligent beings.

— Responsibly listening to, or documenting reports of, encounters or abductions regardless of the highly unusual and credible evidence.

— Referring such reports to private or public individuals or organizations that have dealt with such matters responsibly.

— Helping citizens that know of no place to turn for help on potentially traumatic experiences.

I have no comment.
