Overview
ASSESSMENT: Steven Greer is the PIONEER of organized UAP disclosure — his May 9, 2001 National Press Club event with 20 witnesses (of 400 total) was the first major public disclosure event, 16 years before the NYT article. Former emergency room doctor. 'Left medicine to pursue UFO stories full time.' Director of Disclosure Project. MAY 9, 2001 NATIONAL PRESS CLUB: 20 witnesses testified. 'About 20 former government workers, military and security officials.' 'Called for congressional hearings.' 'These testimonies establish once and for all that we are not alone.' 400 witnesses total willing to testify before Congress. 500-page briefing document (April 2001). 'One person claimed to have seen aliens and bodies from spacecraft crash.' 'Speakers offered to repeat stories to Congress under oath.' Witnesses included retired NASA engineer, military officials. GREER'S CLAIMS: 'US and other governments known about UFOs for at least 50 years.' '400 people with firsthand knowledge.' 'Will not come forward without congressional immunity.' 'Technology from downed spacecraft incorporated into modern programs.' 'Airbrushing satellite photos.' Two reasons: (1) reveal 'planet-saving technology' from aliens, (2) 'stop Bush from building weapons in space.' 'Life forms not hostile, not pleased with weapons in space.' CE5 PROTOCOL: Close Encounters of the 5th Kind. Human-initiated contact through meditation/consciousness. Controversial. CONTROVERSIAL CLAIMS: 'Man-made UFOs' — government plans 'false flag operation that looks like War of the Worlds.' 'Biggest part of secrecy has nothing to do with extraterrestrials — deceptive plans to use man-made UFOs.' 'Big lie: they cannot be ours.' 'Big lie: they're a threat to national security.' CRITICAL: 2001 = 16 years before NYT. 400 witnesses = largest collection ever. 500-page briefing = serious document. 'Under oath' = same as 2023 hearing. Congressional immunity request = same as UAP Disclosure Act. 'Planet-saving technology' = ZPE/fusion dimension. CE5 + false flag = controversial. Pioneer despite controversy.
