. Peckman gathered 4000 signatures to place his proposal for the seven-member commission on the November 2008 general-election ballot in Denver. However, he declined to file the paperwork for the November 2008 election, in the hope that an incoming Obama administration would release material on extraterrestrials to the public.

In 2009 the initiative received over 7000 signatures for the 2010 Ballot. After validation by the Denver Elections Division, it was determined that the number of valid signatures was insufficient leaving 1000 valid signatures still required. This insufficiency was resolved by the end of November 2009, and Initiative 300 was put on Denver's November 2010 election ballot. The initiative was opposed by a group calling itself "M.I.B." In the election, initiative 300 was rejected by 82.34% of Denver voters.

 in Denver, Colorado.

Peckman publicly screened the video on May 30, 2008 at Metropolitan State College in Denver and forbid photos by reporters. The three minute video contained images of a "white creature with a balloon-shaped head" and large dark eyes that blinked and looked through a window said to be 8 feet above the ground.

The video was said to have been made by Stan Romanek, July 17, 2003, in Nebraska

. A documentary including the footage was scheduled for release in 2008 but was delayed. Area skeptics used a rented alien costume and video editing software to produce a hoax version of the video that reproduced many of the movements, although experts who viewed the Romanek video assert there was no post-production editing of that video.
