FOUNDER OF UFO PROJECT IS COMING TO PORTLAND
After years of gathering official and
top-secret data and persuading government and military witnesses to
speak frankly about the subject of UFOs and extraterrestrials, The
Disclosure
Project was
unveiled earlier this year in front of the National Press Club in
Washington, D.C.
In the club's prestigious main ballroom,
founder Steven Greer presented 20 of his best witnesses, mostly
gray-haired retired military men, to the more than 100 media members
from throughout the country who filled the room.
According to reports, Greer and his supporters
didn't talk about alien abductions or dimensional travel or
alien-human mating. The focus of this project simply
is to establish that extraterrestrial life forms have visited this
planet and, in turn, end the secrecy about such encounters through
congressional hearings.
"This topic has been rubbished in the tabloids
for so long with little green men with buggy eyes and every weird
person in a trailer park that it's been put into its own little
cubicle of craziness," Greer said during a recent telephone
interview. "That's nonsense. We have actual radar tape, public
documents, military officials who will talk about when an object was
tracked. We have real evidence and hundreds of credible witnesses."
Greer will present the touring version of his
Disclosure
Project from 6
to 10 p.m. Wednesday in downtown Portland's First Congressional
Church, including two hours of taped testimony from his top
witnesses.
Greer will speak about the subject for about
90 minutes, with time afterward for questions.
Greer, of Virginia, gave up his career as an
emergency room doctor in North Carolina in 1998 to pursue the
project full
time. He officially has been working on it since 1993, when he
briefed members of the Clinton administration, including then-CIA
director James Woolsey, about what he had learned.
Greer says even top officials in the
government such as Woolsey are denied access to certain files about
UFOs and extraterrestrials, creating a situation in which
unappointed, unelected and unsupervised people serve as ambassadors
to these beings.
Greer says through the
Disclosure
Project tour he
hopes to raise awareness about such concerns as well as develop the
grassroots following needed to force Congress to acknowledge the
issue again.
The last time Congress officially addressed
UFOs and extraterrestrials was in 1968 through the House Science and
Astronautics Committee. The Air Force has dealt with all inquiries
about the subject since then via its closed Blue Book, which
concludes that "no UFO reported, investigated and evaluated by the
Air Force was ever an indication of (a) threat to national
security."
Greer contends that secrecy about
extraterrestrial contact and the information gathered from such
encounters has been holding back technological solutions to some of
the world's toughest problems, including energy production, water
purification and environmental pollution.
"The only hard sell on this is to people who
won't look at the data," Greer said. "We're not hobbyists or folks
just mildly intrigued by the subject. We're serious people taking
this in a very serious way to the general community. We're
explaining why this issue just isn't something for the X-filers. It
has tremendous relevancy. Not only is this real, it has
extraordinary and profound implications on a variety of issues. At
first glance, this might seem like the silly stuff of tabloids. But
that's why we feel it's our responsibility to share this data and
show these witnesses. ... If you are concerned about the long-term
prospects of the human race, the development of the rest of the
world, weaponizing space, the rule of law and the constitution, the
environment and such, this issue is relevant to you."
