E.T. peeping tom caught on video, says abductee
Stan Romanek, who claims he has been repeatedly abducted by extraterrestrials, has released video he says shows an alien peering into his window several years ago. A few nights ago, Romanek was a guest on Larry King along with Jeff Peckman, who is pushing for the city of Denver to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission.

..I was LOST, OK? Just looking for a pay phone. You ever tried to find a pay phone these days? Stupid car charger wouldn't work....
I thought it was coming out of a toilet.
That can't be you Tak, I don't see your tentacles.
About this whole thing, I kind of feel sorry for people who are so desperate they are willing to humiliate themselves like this. It's sad.
I think that's the punisher skull ominously floating outside his window.
Who knew that aliens were made of rubber.
Look, not only are aliens real, but they are very obsessed with YOU and ONLY you, people.
Wait, what AMYLINK said is right. It does look like the skull on a Punisher t-shirt.
Dude has a sullen teen pepping in his window! Either a Jimbo, Dolph or Kearney!
I think that's actually the rogue helicopter pilot this guy's worried about:

and further more, the anal probe thing? That was NEVER my idea.
I'll fess up to that. Sigh.
What really pisses me off is all the History Channel and Science Channel shows that are centered around "the bible" and "angels" and "afterlife" and aliens and abductions and ghosts and hauntings.
Those belong on those stations about as much as Entertainment Tonight or Inside Edition belong on the BBC News. If they absolutely must air those programs, why not do it on a new station and call it the pseudo-science and fantasy channel?
GAHHHHHH!!!! Why must "experts" say things like "if this was a puppet, it was a very sophisticated puppet???"
IT IS A FUZZY IMAGE OF SOMETHING RESEMBLING A FACE MOVING IN A WINDOW! Give me a sharpie and a piece of white paper and I'll give you as convincing a "puppet" in about 5 minutes!
Why must I share this planet with these UFO morons???
There's a state between dreaming and sleeping. In this state, many people feel a heavy, held down sensation, or sexual stimulation, or both; others (fewer) see things, hear things; depending on how you have stocked your imagination (or had it stocked for you) you might interpret this in different ways. One way, less common now than before, is as the visitation of a night demon. A more modern way is the visitation of a little gray man. Some interpret it as a ghost. There really isn't much more to it than that, from what I've read.
CNN are pansies. Here's the video of the thing, not just one frame of a fuzzy half-head.

@13: D'oh! Curse you, Reptiles!
I love getting rick rolled to a website where flash blocker shows me a play button on a video that says "Rick Rolled".. It's totally *ZING*
@REPTILES_AND_SAMURAI
That never funny meme is played out man.
The guy is mistaken. That's clearly Happy Noodle Boy standing on his soapbox looking for cheese and/or piggies.
I thought it was refreshing to see the Paranormal Society guy basically not buying it at all, and outright saying he thought it was a hoax.
That reenactment alien was pretty cute, too.
"The video timed out attempting to play.
Please ensure that you do not have any Flash Blocking plugins active."
Well, screw them if they're going to be nazis about it.
Seriously, can't they grasp the simple concept that the reason they put stuff on the web is that they want people to be able to access it. Stuff like this is counter-productive.
somebody has posted a higher quality video of it on youtube.
it's a lot clearer..

@11 And how did Larry King get to be such an idiot? Between this and the frauds on his show claiming to be psychics, he's knocked quite a few IQ points off the average TV viewer, and they don't have that many to begin with.
Imagining a guy coming from a galaxy far far away, maybe from another dimension, with crazy amazing advanced Psychic capacities and possibilities...
to check out across a window...
LOL
Seriously, what are they trying to do with the american opinion ?
I for one welcome our new Asgard overlords.
And I our Rick Astley playing overlords (try open in new tab, then read the tab)
Does no one else see the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man looking for his hat?
It must be gratifying for folks like Steven Spielberg and Whitley Strieber to see that, now that aliens are finally here, that they totally nailed what they would look like in movies and books almost 30 years ago! Big head, almond eyes, gray, hairless, and just a little shy...
Me? I'm kinda let down that they seem to embody nearly every space-alien cultural stereotype out there. When pulling a hoax like this, does it pay to pander to such things or does it just incur instant disqualification? (Obviously if he's on Larry King with another guy that's wearing a suit, we can semi-discount the latter.)
Either way, I welcome our voyeuristic, sophisticated puppet overlords. Just don't peek in my windows between 1 - 2 am, that's Willie's time!

I have seen this too. An extraterrestrial at the
windows, looking in, feverishly masturbating with
a felafel, er, a loofah.
Uh, it looks like a Punisher t-shirt, of the glow in the dark variety.
FINALLY the video was released. got it on youtube. t s s gy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC4gk8oRUvE
so we are to believe that fuzzy and incredible image of a frisbee with two holes cut out for eyes is an alien peering thru the window huh?
i am obsessed with extra terrestrial life forms and want it to be true more than anyone but that is simply insulting.
the video will make it even worse when released.
You would think that with all the times this guy has been abducted, he would have put a much better security/surveillance system outside his home to, among other things, catch these aliens taking him.
They obviously don't like cameras--a trait that they share with Bigfoot--so by putting more cameras around you, would provide you a modicum of protection.
At least at home, at any rate. Out and about might be a bit harder, as it's not as easy to strap a camera to your head and walk around with it nowadays... Damn Terrorists! How am I supposed to protect my brain from all the mind control beams if I cant wear my lead-lined hat anymore?
Oval with two dots on it = ALIEN!
"I was hit in the head by a frisbee and then a concrete block and now I'm being abducted at night. It never happens at work though for some reason, or when anyone is watching. Nor during the Larry King Show."
TV news - always bringing you their opinion on the news followed by lightweight talk shows followed by alarmist documentaries constantly interrupted by insipid ads.
BONE-CHILLING!
I'm nevereverever going to look out my window again.
What I can't figure out is why would illegal immigrants want to kidnap such a gullible simpleton. Human trafficking maybe?
Over at Bas Astronomy there's a discussion of how a group of people were able to make a similar video of higher quality with about $90 and a day of effort. Indeed, the admitted hoax has better quality and apparently looks more real than the original, to the point where that video is also circulating on youtube with people claiming that it is the "real" video:

Scene: Aliens wrestling over the steering wheel of their space ship.
Alien 1: "I want to spy on someone famous like the Playboy playmates!"
Alien2: "No! We were sent to spy on Stan Romanek."
Alien 1: "Who in the hell is Stan Romanek?"
Alien 2: "The boss said he's some really lonely guy in Colorado."
Alien 1: "This assignment sucks!"
Silly earthlings! There are no ETIs!
Fake or not, that's really freaky to see. I can't say I'd be laughing if some peeping idiot in a mask popped his head in my window.
...also, the eyes blink. That's double freaky.
@26, I remember hearing that Spielberg interviewed several UFO experts and "abductees" to get the look right. So it's really kind of a circular design. "Real" life begets sci fi film begets peeper.
Anything that can traverse the stars but must peek through windows to conduct observations isn't an ET worth getting too excited about IMHO :)
And @40 - same here. Fake or not videos like these often give me goosebumps.

Viral Punisher marketing
Man, WHY are people still giving this guy an audience?
Nothing to see here. Move along.
I don't get the Punisher references. Are you guys just looking at the still? If you watch the video--it's pretty clear that it's not a superhero t-shirt.
I can't look at video at work, but it strikes me as rather unlikely that aliens would come all the way out to the faint part of the spiral arm to look in on something as uninteresting as us. They have their own troubles, what with the galactic core being a giant black hole and all.
No, not aliens. Gnomes.
Gnomes aren't really those cute garden things with the red hats or whatever. They're a sentient race of underground-dwellers. The gray is camoflage to blend with the rock. They hate humans, especially miners.
I can well believe they're harrassing this guy. Sadistic little fucks.
So this means that if the aliens never officially make contact with Earth civilization, it's Stan Romanek's fault? What was he really doing, alone in his bedroom with a video camera?
Reptiles and Samurai @13: Yes, I did that, and you would not believe how impenitent I feel about it. Try it again and you get the life-shortening Cute Bunny Video.
Donna @20, I'd like that one better if it were a lot shorter.
Master of Space and Time @37: Okay, that's unintentionally wonderful. I love the way they take meaningless glowing areas and impose outlines on them that have no relation to the area's actual shape.
we've been coming here for 50 years and performing anal probes and all that we have learned is that 1 in 10 doesn't really seem to mind
That's a pre-metrosexual statistic.
This guy is obviously on to something. I mean, look at all of the awesome formulas and star drawings he's made:
http://tinyurl.com/5kqh5r
And with only a fourth grade education!! Definitely talking to aliens.
@Reptiles and Samurai: Your name makes me want to dig out my old Oingo Boingo albums.
@ Wingo: "This guy is obviously on something." Wait was that a typo or just me? And according to what I can glean from this, well, whatever it is, is that Xenia is the location of the mother-ship portal in the fourth dimension just outside the hyper-cube, or is it a hyper-box? Hum. Interesting.
obviously it is a GHOST of an alien, which is about 14 times as terrifying really. I'm surprised that the SCIENTISTS haven't picked up on that yet
@#17: What meme? I have it on good authority that Astley is in fact the meddlesome alien peering into Romanek's window every night.
Yes what #45 said...
OK, now I've seen the video.
I have to admit, the eyeblink is pretty impressive.
The head movement looks like a rubber mask flopping back and forth on a stick.
I think this is a load of crap.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=6iyUi_amu38
@Xopher, you can't have seen the video since it has not been released nor has it been leaked.
At present there are only fake videos available. There are two kinds of fakes: Some aren't even showing the same window pictured in the officially released still-frame; and some of them take the officially released still-frame and animate the window area.
I watched the Larry King segment. My understanding was that the window part of that was a brief clip of the original video. That's what it sounded like they were saying.
From the still alone, no one could possibly credit this guy's account.
Nope. The video shown on Larry King was a recreation, made to counter the claim that such videos must be authentic. It's not even the same window. And it says recreation in the corner.
OK, I saw the "recreation" label on the silly rubber peeking-around-the-corner bit, but I didn't notice it on the window segment. I'll look again when I get home.
If all they released is the still, why is anyone giving them the time of day? One extremely unconvincing still? I mean...the Jesus on the tortilla was more convincing than that! I guess there's no limit to the gullibility of the news media. Larry King has to be an idiot to treat this guy with any seriousness at all.
And you know what else? Anyone who's seen a science fiction film in the past 10 years isn't going to buy whatever they do show (if this alleged video even exists).
And also...he claims he was shooting in infrared, through a window. I don't know that much about shooting in infrared, but I do know that glass tends to be a heat sink. Would that even work?
Apparently, even the still frame release was premature. The video was (and still is) all set to be shown on History Channel sometime this year. But some kooky political groupie asked the guy if he could show the video to local Denver officials to help support some wacky political initiative. So the entire release of this video became a fiasco overnight.
