Well during the debate one kind of different thing happened. We found out that Dennis Kucinich saw a UFO. In addition afterward Chris Matthews had Bill Richardson on, Governor of New Mexico and the infamous Roswell.

On Election Geek I’ve had a little running tidbit section for awhile of little election facts. One of them was that Bill Richardson has been a vocal proponent of opening up government UFO related files, especially those related to Roswell, for a long time. Matthews seemed surprised when he asked the Gov. about Kucinich and heard Richardson proclaim that part of the problem was that the government has been slow to release its files.

Matthews made a joke about the Republicans being the anti-Evolution party and Democrats being the pro-UFO party.

To his credit Richardson clarified his belief that there wasn’t a shred of evidence to support UFO/alien claims and that as Governor of New Mexico he wants to do everything possible for tourism, hence his consistent promotion of Roswell and the mystique surrounding it. He even wrote a forward for a book on the subject in The Roswell Dig Diaries saying:

“Clearly, it would help everyone if the U.S. government disclosed everything it knows… The American people can handle the truth — no matter how bizarre or mundane. … With full disclosure and our best scientific investigation, we should be able to find out what happened on that fateful day in July 1947.”

For more fun check out this report from Fox & Friends on the E.T. ticket where Stephen Bassett of X-PPAC (Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee) calls for conspiracy theorists to support Richardson for the Vice Presidential spot because of his written forward and Hillary Clinton as president because… well… it’s a weird explanation. Just watch.
