The thought lingered as he retrieved his laptop, intent on learning everything he could about the “informed civilian” Dr. Manley insisted he meet next. Logging on the internet, he was about to search for the ET expert’s name when he paused.
If they can access my history of sushi takeout, they can certainly access my web search.
Leaving his laptop, he pocketed his room card, grabbed a can of ginger ale from the small refrigerator’s overpriced offerings, and headed downstairs to the hotel’s business center.
The room was empty and dark, the motion sensors causing the overhead fluorescent lights to flicker on as he swiped his key and entered.
There were three computer terminals separated by privacy cubicles. Situating himself at the station on the left, he logged on using his room number, making a mental note to bury his search history when he was finished.
He typed in the name Dr. Manley had given him — finding no shortage of references.
Dr. Steven Macon Greer was a medical doctor. He had left a successful career as an E.R. physician and the chairman at the Department of Emergency Medicine at Caldwell Memorial Hospital in Lenoir, North Carolina to launch the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI). According to his bio, this bizarre journey had been seeded back in 1965 when nine-year-old Steven and a few of his friends had witnessed an oval-shaped, gleaming silver ETV — an Extraterrestrial Vehicle. Over the following weeks, the boy began experiencing lucid dreams and night encounters with beings that were clearly “not from our planet.”
In 1990, Greer founded CSETI in order to create a diplomatic, research-based initiative to contact extraterrestrial civilizations. Three years later he founded Project Starlight which sought out government whistle-blowers willing to violate their security oaths by sharing insider knowledge about UFOs, extraterrestrial intelligence, and advanced energy and propulsion systems. Hundreds of men and women had come forward, including former astronauts, commercial pilots and intelligence and military personnel.
In 1998 Greer gave up his career in medicine to work full-time on The Disclosure Project, preparing for what he hoped would be an event that would crack the dam of secrecy surrounding extraterrestrials and UFOs.

The DISCLOSURE PROJECT
National Press Club, Washington, D.C.
May 9, 2001
He forwarded through an introduction from a Hollywood actor, hitting PLAY when a tall, muscular man with a receding hairline appeared. In his late forties and exuding a commanding presence, the headliner took center stage before dozens of news networks and reporters.
“Good afternoon. We are here today to disclose the truth about a subject that has been ridiculed, questioned and denied for at least fifty years. The men and women who are on this stage and some 350 additional military and intelligence witnesses to the so-called UFO matter and extraterrestrial intelligence can prove, and will prove, that we are not alone.
“In 1993, I met with a group of military advisors to this project out in the countryside in Virginia, and we decided that it was time for civilians, military, intelligence and other people to come together and disclose the truth about the subject which is called UFOs. Since that time, I have personally briefed a sitting director of Central Intelligence, James Woolsey, President Clinton’s first CIA director. I have personally briefed the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency; the head of intelligence of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; members of the Senate Intelligence Committee; many members of Congress; members of the European leadership; the Japanese Cabinet and others. What I have found is that none of them are surprised that this is true, but they are uniformly horrified that they have not had access to these projects.
“Our witnesses, who now number over 400, have worked inside the CIA, NSA, NRO, Air Force, Navy, Marines, Army, all divisions of the intelligence and military communities, and include corporate witnesses as well as contractors to the government. Many of these individuals have been involved in black budget, covert unacknowledged special access projects — projects paid for unknowingly by the American taxpayer to the tune of $80 billion per year or more, many of which involve technologies that can change the world forever.
“The reason we are coming forward now is that we are asking for the U.S. Congress and for President Bush to move toward an official inquiry and disclosure on this subject. This issue has the most profound implications for our future as a species, for national security, and for world peace. If declassified and used for peaceful energy generation and propulsion, these technologies, many of which were reversed-engineered from downed extraterrestrial vehicles, would solve the looming energy crisis definitively, would end global warming, and would correct the environmental challenges that the Earth is facing. It is also critical that we begin to debate, as a society, the dangers of placing weapons in space. If indeed, as we can prove, it is true that we are not alone, and that space is a territory we are sharing with other civilizations, it could be a very imprudent, destabilizing thing to place weapons in space. This is not being debated because it is off the national and international radar screen. It needs to be placed on it and we are here today to do so.
“We can establish through eyewitness testimony that these objects of extraterrestrial origin have been tracked on radar going thousands of miles per hour, stopping and making right-hand turns. We know they use anti-gravity propulsion systems which scientists in the United States, Great Britain and elsewhere have reverse-engineered. These objects have landed on terra firma; some have been disabled and retrieved by teams within the United States. Extraterrestrial life forms have been retrieved and their vehicles have been taken and studied thoroughly for at least 50 years.
“We can prove, through the testimony and documents we will be presenting, that this subject has been hidden from members of Congress and at least two administrations that we are aware of, and that the Constitution of the United States has been subverted by the growing power of the secret groups overseeing these classified projects and that this is a danger to our national security.
“There is no evidence, I wish to emphasize, that these Interstellar life forms are hostile toward us, but there is a great deal of evidence that they are concerned with our hostility. There are times when they have neutralized or rendered inert the launch capabilities of intercontinental ballistic missiles. Witnesses here today will describe those events to you and establish that these intelligent beings have clearly shown that they do not want us to weaponize space. Despite these warnings, we are proceeding down this very dangerous path.
“While this is a matter of the most pressing import, I know many in the media would prefer to joke about ‘little green men.’ In reality, the subject is laughed at because it is so serious. I expect people to be skeptical, but not irrationally so, because these men and women have come forward and they have their credentials. They can establish who they are and they have been first-hand witnesses to some of the most important events in the history of the human race. Some of the men with us today were charged with handling the nuclear weapons of the United States; as such, their word was trusted on everything of great importance to our national security. We must trust their word now. As Monsignor Balducci said in a recent interview at the Vatican, ‘It is irrational not to accept the testimony of these witnesses.’ So be skeptical, but not close-minded.”
