The Disclosure Project - ET/UFO Disclosure

One of the most significant events in the history of UFO disclosure was a press conference back on May 9, 2001 at the National Press Club in Washington DC. This event was chaired by Dr. Steven Greer, well known ufologist and physician and the aim was to get US President Bush to release classified information on the existence of extraterrestrials.

Dr. Steven Greer, founder of The Disclosure Project

In his introduction Greer explained how disclosure is necessary to prevent events such as the weaponization of space from occurring. He explains how renewable energy has been discovered, how we have access to technology far beyond what is in our every day capabilities of living. But it is all being held hostage by top US government officials. The full summary of requests from the disclosure project is the following:

Full, open congressional hearings
to investigate the ET/UFO subject,
including witness testimony with
release from security oaths.

Immediate legislation and
national/international treaties
to ban space based weapons.

Presidential action to declassify
the ET/UFO subject.

Declassification and release of

currently classified technologies

that could ameliorate the
environmental and energy crisis.

Pretty serious stuff.

The entire press conference lasted two hours and is fully documented online. The goal of this article is not to give a transcript, or a blow-by-blow recount of all the speakers at the event, but rather bring to attention some of the key highlights and encourage you to watch the full video on your own. It's well worth it for anyone interested in this subject and I've embedded the video at the bottom of this post so you do not have to search for it.

What really made this event truly significant was that it wasn't just random people who claimed they had seen a UFO speaking at it. The speakers were comprised of people with very important credentials. These were individuals charged with handling nuclear weapons of the United States. Top military and government officials. These people put their reputation and careers at stake to publicly come forward and give their testimonies. Some of the speakers could lose their licenses to practice law, medicine etc. if they were found to be perpetrating a hoax.

Who were they you ask?

Well, here's a list of the speakers with links to their websites/Wikipedia pages. Where no page is available I have included a link to what is most relevant. Each speaker presented their recount, finishing with the statement "I'm prepared to go to congress with it under oath, and everything here is the truth".

• John Callahan: FAA Head of Accidents and Investigations. Had an encounter with a UFO with Japan Air Lines in 1986.
• Lt. Col. Charles Brown: US Air Force (Ret.)
• Michael Smith: US Air Force Radar Controller. Many UFO sightings while on duty. Was told to call "NORAD" to notify of sightings.
• Enrique Kolbeck: Senior Air Traffic Controller. Mexican controller. Several UFO sightings.
• Commander Graham Bethune: US Navy (retired). UFO sighting while on a military flight. 
• Dan Willis: US Navy. Worked in code room in San Francisco and received a priority message from a ship in Alaska that saw "something" emerging from the ocean that shot into space at 7,000 mph. Was told "it was just a visit from one of our little friends" in another scenario.
• Don Phillips: Lockheed Skunkworks and CIA Contractor. Worked on specialty aircraft and knew pilots that were monitoring some type of traffic "to and from" planet Earth. Many other recounts.
• Captain Robert Salas (Air Force). In 1967 as a Missile Launch Officer, recounted how UFOs disabled US nuclear missiles.
• Lt. Colonel Dwynne Arnesson: US Air Force (Ret.) Had three experiences related to UFOs. Received a message about UFO crash in Norway and more.
• Harland Bentley (US Army): Between 1957-1959 witnessed a UFO crash and had a call from someone who had 50-100 UFO's above them. 10 years later heard a Housten transmission talking about a UFO they were witnessing.
• John Maynard: Defense Intelligence Agency (Ret.) Seen classified documents with many many references to UFO's, including pictures. NOTE: After giving his testimony he was arrested by the US Government, showing just how serious this really is being taken.
• Sergeant Karl Wolfe: US Air Force. Worked with the NSA on a project at Langley Air Base. Was shown data from the Lunar orbiter including pictures which showed that the NSA had discovered a base on the back side of the moon.
• Donna Hare: NASA Employee. Shown NASA photographs of UFO's flying over Earth. Was told "we always airbrush these out before selling them to the public". Was told Apollo astronauts saw a craft on the moon and were told to keep this quiet.
• Larry Warren: US Air Force, Security Officer. Saw UFO's and alien life-form. Experienced the "British Roswell".
• Maj. George A. Filer, III: US Air Force (Ret.) In 1962 was called by London, asked to chase a UFO. More experiences followed. States the Air Force usually gets on average, 100 reports a week from people in the US seeing UFOs.
• Sgt. Clifford Stone: US Army. Approached a crashed UFO and saw the bodies in it. Had about 12 events with UFO's. "I know we're not alone in the universe. I know that the absence of evidence, is not evidence of absence. It's evidence that has been denied to the American people."
• Mark McDandlish: US Air Force. Had experience with new forms of military aircraft based on alien technology. US Military has been testing these devices based on this technology for speeds up to mach 20.
• Daniel Sheehan: Attorney. Graduate of Harvard Law School and served as General Counsel for New York Times to publish classified Pentagon papers. Heavily involved in the declassification of classified ET documents from governments and the Vatican.
• Dr. Carol Rosin. - A military strategist who was informed that she must stop the weaponization of space. People will be told all sorts of lies for why they need to built; to protect people against the Russians, terrorists, asteroids, and finally ETs. By refocusing war expenses on space exploration we could greatly enhance our entire planet's economic system, job system, technology and more.

Base on the Moon? Karl Wolfe's Shocking Discovery

These were all the witnesses who spoke at the conference (although there were another 400 that could speak), which was then followed by a 20 minute Q&A period from the media that could be addressed to any or all of the speakers. I won't cover the answers to the Q&A, however I will write out what questions were asked you so can satisfy your own curiosity by hearing the answers to them in the video.

1. Are there laws in the US that allowed this secrecy?
2. Is there a need to change any kind of law?
3. Who is profiting from this secrecy that contains a solution to the energy crisis?
4. Is anybody from the UN looking into this?
5. (to Clifford Stone): Can you describe what the aliens you saw looked like?
6. There was a vehicle (alien reproduction vehicle based on anti-gravity systems, has "Faster-than Light" travel capacity) on display at an air show in a drawing one of you showed. Why would it be on display at an air show and what is the power source you are saying is going to be useful? And how can you determine this is not being developed by a government agency?
7. Is there any way to prove that this vehicle is derived from alien technology?
8. Since 1972, there are 35 million archived photos of the atmosphere from space and not one of them shows a flying saucer, are you suggesting they have been airbrushed out?
9. (to Steven Greer) Can you tell us about your screening process with your speakers? How satisfied are you with that?

One final point that was brought up in the video that is a personal favourite of mine is this:

"There have been tens of thousands of sightings of UFOs over time from all over the world. Only one of them has to be true for the entire case to be legitimate."
