Will the recent spike in UFO sightings help Denver's 'UFO Initiative' pass?

The recent rash of UFO sightings, globally, not just in the U.S., has not just caused interest in the subject to rise, but has focused some national attention on an otherwise local political initiative: Initiative 300, in Denver, CO.
If passed, Initiative 300 would create a Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission, with seven members who would meet twice a year, gather the most "compelling evidence" regarding the existence of extraterrestrials and UFOs and post it on the Denver's website. It sounds, of sorts, like a real-life X-Files, though one without the resources of the FBI.
Initiative 300 is backed by Jeff Peckman. Although Peckman can't say that any of the recent UFO sightings have been legitimate, he does feel that they might help get his idea passed. Here's how the initiative appears on the ballot:

“City and County of Denver Ballot Question Initiated ordinance 300: shall the voters for the city and county of Denver adopt an initiated ordinance to require the creation of an extraterrestrial affairs commission to help ensure the health, safety, and cultural awareness of Denver residents and visitors in relation to potential encounters or interactions with extraterrestrial intelligent beings or their vehicles, and fund such commission from grants, gifts and donations?”

According to the Initiative's website, and based on the portion of the text about "grants, gifts, and donations," the Commission will cost the city no budget dollars. Reportedly, Denver’s City Council can repeal the ETA Commission ordinance after six months, as well.
The website, in its banner headline, lists the follow "reasons" for passing Initiative 300.

• Elvis Presley had more UFO sightings and meetings with ETs than any other celebrity.
• Muhammad Ali saw at least twenty-two UFOs and was fascinated by them.
• Michael Jackson wanted to welcome extraterrestrials to Earth and film the landing.
• Jimmy Carter saw a UFO and promised to disclose government UFO files if elected president.
• Hillary Clinton helped draft a comprehensive disclosure policy on UFOs and ETs.
• Ronald Reagan followed a UFO by plane for several minutes but was afraid to report it.

Reportedly, a recent poll showed 90 percent of voter opposed to the measure, but it is unclear if that poll was taken before, or after, the recent spike in UFO sightings.
One has to wonder, really, if researching UFOs is such a great idea. After all, none other than acclaimed scientist Stephen Hawking said, "If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans."
That's the stuff of history. The stuff of science fiction would point to Independence Day, War of the Worlds, V, and the upcoming Skyline, and warn us: uh, uh, let's let sleeping dogs lie.
Initiative 300 is up for a vote on Nov. 2nd.
