Spot The Alien
Last Friday, Jeff Peckman from Denver, USA, showed the media a video of a purportedly living, breathing space alien. He screened the video for reporters at Metropolitan State College in Denver, although they were not allowed to photograph the images.
The three minute video showed what appeared to be a 'white creature with a balloon-shaped head' and large dark eyes that appeared to blink, looking in through a window 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 is to be released later in 2008. Peckman is trying to persuade the local government to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission to prepare for visits from extraterrestrials.

Tennis For Two
Way back in 1958, William Higinbotham invented Tennis For Two to liven up visitor day at Brookhaven National Laboratory, his workplace. The game uses an oscilloscope with two control pads.
Tennis for Two was a predecessor of Pong, one of the most widely recognized video games as well as one of the first, though there was no direct correlation between the two.
