The Disclosure Project is a non-profit organization, started by Dr. Steven M. Greer in 1993, with the intention of de-classifying and disclosing all information on UFOs and extraterrestrial-related issues the group alleges the U.S. government has classified and kept secret. The group also requests open and honest hearings regarding the UFOs, extraterrestrials, and advanced-energy and propulsion systems that also allegedly remain classified.

[edit] Mission

These testimonies establish once and for all that we are not alone. Technologies related to extraterrestrial phenomena are capable of providing solutions to the global energy crisis, and other environmental and security challenges.

—Dr. Steven M. Greer, [1]

  • To hold open, secrecy-free hearings on the UFO/Extraterrestrial presence on and around Earth.
  • To hold open hearings on advanced energy and propulsion systems that, when publicly released, will provide solutions to global environmental challenges.
  • To enact legislation which will ban all space-based weapons.
  • To enact comprehensive legislation to research, develop and explore space peacefully and cooperatively with all cultures on Earth and in space.
  • To introduce Zero-point energy as a means for the world to obtain "free energy." According to The Disclosure Project, this will help to end World Poverty and famine, among other things.

[edit] Action

Because congress has not yet allowed for such a hearing, Alfred Webre, the International Director of the Institute for Cooperation in Space, and Stephen Bassett, founder of Paradigm Clock, have suggested creating a Citizen Hearing for the testimony of witnesses to be heard publicly outside of Congress.

[edit] National Press Club Conference

Dr. Steven M. Greer introduced "The National Disclosure Project" to the media and the public on May 9, 2001 at the Washington's National Press Club. It was notable for being the largest meeting in the UFO community and the large amount of attention it received.

Among the participants were:

The conference hosted over 20 witnesses, most of them ex-military, who provided testimonies, some of them about the cover-up of the UFO issue, while others relayed third-person accounts or gave their opinions. They had chosen not to include eye-witnesses to alien abduction and have come under fire for this bias. In response, it is claimed that the military witnesses are more easily verifiable. Yet the more reaching conclusions drawn from this project are, at times, clearly at odds with abduction researchers, even going so far as to completely discount any possibility that the occupants of UFO’s could have less-than-benign intent or unethical methods. In fact The Disclosure Project says it has assembled 200+ testimonies from credible people ready to swear before congress on the subject of extra terrestrials.

Amongst the more elaborate and unproven accounts, former army Sergeant Clifford Stone claimed that he was a direct participant in situations involving the recovery of downed Extraterrestrial saucers, some of which housed Extraterrestrial beings. According to Sergeant Stone, the U.S. Government actively worked to suppress the crashed saucer recovery effort by issuing threats and orders regarding the penalties for discussing these events which Sergeant Stone witnessed on that fateful day in Pennsylvania, 1969.

"You have individuals that look very much like you and myself, that could walk among us and you wouldn't even notice the difference," says Sergeant Clifford Stone, adding that 57 species of Extraterrestrial origin have thus far been catalogued.

An additional claim details several government-contracted companies' involvement in the study and development of gravity control propulsion technology since the 1950s. Many of these projects are thought to have drained nearly $40 billion directly from the pockets of millions of uninformed taxpayers.

The conference marked the start of a campaign whose primary goal consists of an open, honest hearing on the UFO/Extraterrestrial subject to be held on the floors of Congress; At the start of this hearing, several military, scientific, and political witnesses must be granted immunity of punishment from violating any oath administered under such illegal, black budget programs. A complete disclosure on the UFO/Extraterrestrial subject by the president and the U.S. government at large remains a top priority of the "National Disclosure Project."

So they were quite adamant that whatever experiences you had you were not to go public with it without their permission…"
  • "The subject never came up with Air Traffic Control. In any event I would never have opened my mouth. There was a Captain, Pete Killian, who was written about in some of the UFO books. He was a Captain with American Airlines back in the ‘50’s that evidently had a sighting and testified before the Senate committees. And then there was another captain that actually took a photograph of a UFO off his wings. And of course they were subject to ridicule. I didn’t want to go that direction. So, I never reported anything to FAA or the military. A lot of pilots just did not want to get involved in this because of peer pressure and ridicule. So the secret has been kept…"

Massimo Poggi Captain, Senior 747 captain for Alitalia
Nick Pope British Ministry Of Defense
  • "I believe that governments and the military, and indeed private researchers, politicians- whoever- should place everything in the public domain on this issue. Governments can’t, I think, have it both ways. You cannot say on the one hand, as the party line often goes, that UFOs are of no defense significance, and then on the other keep back some of the data."

Jonathan Weygandt Lance Corporal, Marine Corps
  • "'You weren't supposed to be there.' 'You are not supposed to see this.' 'You are going to be dangerous if we let you go.' I thought that they were going to kill me, really…"
  • "They had a Lieutenant Colonel from the Air Force and he did not identify himself. And he told me, 'If we just took you out in the jungle, they would never find you out there.' I didn't want to test him to see if he would really do that so I just said, 'Yeah.' And, he said, 'You have got to sign these papers. You never saw this.'

[edit] Criticisms

At this time, the U.S. government has a policy of denial towards the statements presented in the Disclosure Project. An important criticism of the project is that its claims are based primarily on the testimony of government employees and military personnel.

Rob Watson, a correspondent for the BBC News, branded the National Press Club conference as the strangest ever to be hosted by Washington's National Press Club. [4]
