On May 9, 2001, one of the largest and most
successful press conferences in the recent history of
the National Press Club was completed. More than
20 military, government and corporate witnesses to
unambiguous UFO and extraterrestrial events stated
their testimony before millions. This kickoff event for
the Campaign for Disclosure was carried by major
media world-wide. The event was live webcast, and
at 9 a.m. over 250,000 people were waiting on-line
for the live press conference to begin. The next biggest
webcast event at the National Press Club was less
than 25,000. While the first hour of the conference
was "electronically jammed" according to the
president of ConnectLive, the company that webcasts
all National Press Club events, eventually thousands
of people around the world were able to watch the
event live on-line.

DISCLOSURE: IMPLICATIONS FOR
THE ENVIRONMENT, WORLD PEACE,
WORLD POVERTY AND THE HUMAN
FUTURE
A BRIEF SUMMARY
Copyright Steven M. Greer, M.D. March 2001
For most people, the question of whether or not we
are alone in the universe is a mere philosophical
musing something of academic interest but of no
practical importance. Even evidence that we are
currently being visited by non-human advanced life
forms seems to many to be an irrelevancy in a world
of global warming, crushing poverty and the threat of
war. In the face of real challenges to the long-term
human future, the question of UFOs, extraterrestrials
and secret government projects is a mere sideshow,
right? Wrong catastrophically wrong.
The evidence and testimony presented in the following
pages establishes the following:
¤ That we are indeed being
visited by advanced
extraterrestrial civilizations and
have been for some time;
¤ That this is the most
classified, compartmented
program within the US and many
other countries;
¤ That those projects have, as
warned in 1961 by President
Eisenhower, escaped legal
oversight and control in the US,
the UK and elsewhere;
¤ That advanced spacecraft of
extraterrestrial origin, called
extraterrestrial vehicles (ETVs)
by some intelligence agencies,
have been downed, retrieved and
studied since at least the 1940s
and possibly as early as the
1930s;
¤ That significant technological
breakthroughs in energy
generation and propulsion have
resulted from the study of these
objects (and from related human
innovations dating as far back as
the time of Nicola Tesla) and that
these technologies utilize a new
physics not requiring the burning
of fossil fuels or ionizing
radiating to generate vast amounts
of energy;
¤ That classified, above
top-secret projects possess fully
operational anti-gravity
propulsion devices and new
energy generation systems that, if
declassified and put to peaceful
uses, would empower a new
human civilization without want,
poverty or environmental damage.
Those who doubt these assertions should carefully
read the testimony of dozens of military and
government witnesses whose testimony clearly
establishes these facts. Given the vast and profound
implications of these statements, whether one accepts
or seriously doubts these assertions, all must demand
that Congressional hearings be convened to get to the
truth of this matter. For nothing less that the human
future hangs in the balance.
Implications for the Environment
We have identified insiders and scientists who can
prove, in open Congressional hearings, that we do in
fact possess classified energy generation and
anti-gravity propulsion systems capable of completely
and permanently replacing all forms of currently used
energy generation and transportation systems. These
devices access the ambient electromagnetic and
so-called zero point energy state to produce vast
amounts of energy without any pollution. Such systems
essentially generate energy by tapping into the
ever-present quantum vacuum energy state the
baseline energy from which all energy and matter is
fluxing. All matter and energy is supported by this
baseline energy state and it can be tapped through
unique electromagnetic circuits and configurations to
generate huge amounts of energy from space/time all
around us. These are NOT perpetual motion machines
nor do they violate the laws of thermodynamics
they merely tap an ambient energy field all around us
to generate energy.
This means that such systems do not require fuel to
burn or atoms to split or fuse. They do no require
central power plants, transmission lines and the
related multi-trillion dollar infrastructure required to
electrify and power remote areas of India, China,
Africa and Latin America. These systems are
site-specific: they can be set up at any place and
generate needed energy. Essentially, this constitutes
the definitive solution to the vast majority of
environmental problems facing our world.
The environmental benefits of such a discovery can
hardly be overstated, but a brief list include:
¤ The elimination of oil, coal
and gas as sources of energy
generation, thus the elimination of
air and water pollution related to
the transport and use of these
fuels. Oil spills, global warming,
illnesses from air pollution, acid
rain etc can and must be ended
within 10-20 years;
¤ Resource depletion and
geo-political tensions arising
from competition for fossil fuel
resources will end;
¤ Technologies already exist to
scrub manufacturing effluent to
zero or near zero emissions for
both air and water-but they use a
great deal of energy and thus are
considered too costly to fully
utilize. Moreover, since they are
energy intensive, and our energy
systems today create most of the
air pollution in the world, a point
of diminishing return for the
environment is reached quickly.
That equation is dramatically
changed when industries are able
to tap vast amounts of free energy
(there is no fuel to pay for only
the device, which is no more
costly than other generators) and
those systems create no pollution.
¤ Energy-intensive recycling
efforts will be able to reach full
application since the energy
needed to process solid waste
will, again, be free and abundant.
¤ Agriculture, which is
currently very energy dependent
and polluting, can be transformed
to use clean, non-polluting
sources of energy.
¤ Desertification can be
reversed and world agriculture
empowered by utilizing
desalinization plants, which are
now very energy intensive and
expensive, but will become
cost-efficient once able to use
these new, non-polluting energy
systems.
¤ Air travel, trucking and
inter-city transportation systems
will be replaced with new energy
and propulsion technologies
(anti-gravity systems allow for
silent above surface movement).
No pollution will be generated
and costs will decrease
substantially since the energy
expenses will be negligible.
Additionally, mass transportation
in urban areas can utilize these
systems to provide silent,
efficient intra-city movement.
¤ Noise pollution from jets,
trucks and other modes of
transportation will be eliminated
by the use of these silent devices.
¤ Public utilities will not be
needed since each home, office
and factory will have a device to
generate whatever energy is
needed. This means ugly
transmission lines that are subject
to storm damage and power
interruption will be a thing of the
past. Underground gas pipelines,
which not infrequently rupture or
leak and damage Earth and water
resources, will not be needed at
all.
¤ Nuclear power plants will be
decommissioned and the
technologies needed to clean such
sites will be available. Classified
technologies do exist to neutralize
nuclear waste.
Utopia? No, because human society will always be
imperfect but perhaps not as dysfunctional as it is
today. These technologies are real I have seen
them. Anti-gravity is a reality and so is free energy
generation. This is not a fantasy or a hoax. Do not
believe those who say that this is not possible: they
are the intellectual descendants of those who said the
Wright brothers would never fly.
Current human civilization has reached the point of
being able to commit planeticide: the killing of an
entire world. We can and we must do better. These
technologies exist and every single person who is
concerned about the environment and the human future
should call for urgent hearings to allow these
technologies to be disclosed, declassified and safely
applied.
Implications for Society and World Poverty
From the above, it is obvious that these technologies
that are currently classified would enable human
civilization to achieve sustainability. Of course, in the
near term, we are talking about the greatest social,
economic and technological revolution in human
history bar none. I will not minimize the
world-encompassing changes that would inevitably
attend such disclosures. Having dealt with this issue
for much of my adult life, I am acutely aware of how
immense these changes will be.
Aside from the singular realization that homo sapiens
are not the only or most advanced creatures in
the universe, this disclosure will cause humanity to be
faced with the greatest risks and opportunities in
known history. If we do nothing, our civilization will
collapse environmentally, economically,
geo-politically and socially. In 10 - 20 years, fossil
fuel and oil demand will outstrip supply significantly
and then it is the Mad Max scenario where
everyone is warring over the last barrel of oil. It is
likely that this geo-political and social collapse will
precede any environmental catastrophe.
The disclosure of these new technologies will give us
a new, sustainable civilization. World poverty will be
eliminated within our life times. With the advent of
these new energy and propulsion systems, no place on
Earth will need to suffer from want. Even the deserts
will bloom
Once abundant and nearly free energy is available in
impoverished areas for agriculture, transportation,
construction, manufacturing and electrification, there
is no limit to what humanity can achieve. It is
ridiculous obscene even that mind-boggling
poverty and famine exists in the world while we sit on
classified technologies that could completely reverse
this situation. So why not release these technologies?
Because the social, economic and geo-political order
of the world would be greatly altered. Every deep
insider with whom I have met has emphasized that this
would be the greatest change in known human history.
The matter is so highly classified not because it is so
silly, but because its implications are so profound and
far reaching. By nature, those who control such
projects do not like change. And here we are talking
about the biggest economic, technological, social and
geo-political change in known human history. Hence,
the status quo is maintained, even as our civilization
hurtles towards oblivion.
But by this argument, we would have never had the
industrial revolution and the Ludites would have
reigned supreme to this day.
An international effort to minimize disruption to the
economy and to ease the transition to this new social
and economic reality will be needed. We can do this
and we must. Special interests in certain oil, energy
and economic sectors need to be reigned in and at the
same time treated compassionately: Nobody likes to
see their power and empire crumble. Nations very
dependent on the sale of oil and gas will need help
diversifying, stabilizing and transitioning to a new
economic order.
The United States, Europe and Japan will need to
adjust to a new geo-political reality as well: As
currently poor but populous countries dramatically
develop technologically and economically, they will
demand and will get a meaningful seat at the
international table. And this is as it should be. But the
international community will need to put in place
safeguards to prevent such potential geo-political
rapprochement between the first and third world from
devolving into bellicose and disruptive behavior on
the part of the newly empowered.
The US in particular will need to lead through strength
but avoid the current trend towards domination.
Leadership and domination are not the same, and the
sooner we learn the difference the better off the world
will be. There can be international leadership without
domination and hegemony, and the US needs to realize
these distinctions if it is to provide much-needed
leadership on this issue.
These technologies, because they will decentralize
power literally and figuratively will enable the
billions living in misery and poverty to enter a world
of new abundance. And with economic and
technological development, education will rise and
birth rates will fall. It is well known that as societies
become more educated, prosperous and
technologically advanced and women take an
increasingly equal role in society the birth rate
falls and population stabilizes. This is a good thing for
world civilization and the future of humanity.
With each village cleanly electrified, agriculture
empowered with clean and free energy and
transportation costs lowered, poverty will
dramatically fall in the world. If we act now, by 2030
we will be able to effectively eliminate all poverty in
the world, as we know it today. We only need the
courage to accept these changes and the wisdom to
steer humanity safely and peacefully into a new time.
Implications for World Peace and Security
A few years ago I was discussing this subject with the
former Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, Senator Claiborne Pell. He explained to
me that he had been in Congress since the 1950s but
had never been briefed on this subject. I told him that
the nature of these black projects has resulted in most
of our leaders being left out of any decision making on
this subject, and what a shame this is. I said, "Senator
Pell, all that time you were Chairman of Foreign
Relations, you were deprived of the opportunity to
deal with the ultimate foreign relations challenge"
and I pointed to the stars above our heads. He said, "
You know Dr. Greer, I am afraid that you are right"
It is true that our great diplomats and wise elders,
such as Senator Pell, President Jimmy Carter and
other international leaders have been specifically and
deliberately prevented from having access to or
control over this subject. This is a direct threat to
world peace. In the vacuum of secrecy, operations
supervised by neither the people, the people’s
representatives, the UN nor any other legitimate entity
have taken actions that directly threaten world peace.
Testimony, corroborated by multiple military
witnesses who do not know each other and who have
had no opportunity for collusion, will show that the
US and other countries have engaged these ETVs in
armed attack, in some cases leading to the downing of
these vehicles. As I said to Mrs. Boutros Ghali, wife
of the then Secretary General of the UN, if there is
even a 10% chance that this is true, then this
constitutes the gravest threat to world peace in human
history
Having personally interviewed numerous credible
military and aerospace officials with direct
knowledge of such actions, I am certain that we have
done this. Why? Because these unknown vehicles have
been in our airspace without our permission and
because we wanted to acquire their technology.
Nobody has asserted that there is an actual threat to
humanity from these objects: Obviously, any
civilization capable of routine interstellar travel could
terminate our civilization in a nanosecond, if that was
their intent. That we are still breathing the free air of
Earth is abundant testimony to the non-hostile nature
of these ET civilizations.
We have also been informed that the so-called Star
Wars (or National Missile Defense System) effort has
really been a cover for black project deployment of
weapon systems to track, target and destroy ETVs as
they approach Earth or enter Earth’s atmosphere. No
less a figure than Wernher Von Braun warned on his
death-bed of both the reality and the madness of such a
scheme, apparently to no avail (see the Testimony of
Carol Rosin, former spokesperson for Wernher Von
Braun).
Well, unless we change directions we are likely to
end up where we are going.
With the types of weapons currently in the covert
arsenal weapons more fearsome even than
thermonuclear devices there is no possibility of a
survivable conflict. Yet in the darkness of secrecy,
actions have been taken on behalf of every human that
may endanger our future. Only a full, honest disclosure
will correct this situation. It is not possible for me to
convey in words the urgency of this.
For 10 years I worked as an emergency doctor and
saw how every possible object can be used as a
weapon. Every technology, unless guided by wisdom
and a desire for that good and peaceful future – the
only future possible will be used for conflict.
Super-secret projects that answer to no legally
constituted body- not the UN, not the US Congress, not
the British Parliament must not be allowed to
continue to act in this way on behalf of humanity.
One of the greatest dangers of extreme secrecy is that
it creates a hermetically sealed, closed system
impervious to the free and open exchange of ideas. In
such an environment, it is easy to see how grave
mistakes can be made. For instance, the testimony here
will show that these ETVs became very prominent
after we developed the first nuclear weapons and
began to go into space. There were multiple events
corroborated here by numerous credible military
officials of these objects hovering over and even
neutralizing ICBMs (Intercontinental Ballistic
Missiles).
A closed, military view of this might be to take
offense, engage in counter-measures and attempt to
down such objects. In fact, this would be the normal
response. But what if these ET civilizations were
saying, "Please do not destroy your beautiful world
and know this: we will not let you go into space with
such madness and threaten others" An event
showing concern and even a larger cosmic wisdom
could be construed over and over again as an act of
aggression. Such misunderstandings and myopia are
the stuff wars are made of.
Whatever our perceptions of these visitors, there is no
chance that misunderstandings can be resolved through
violent engagement. To contemplate such madness is
to contemplate the termination of human civilization.
It is time for our wise elders and our levelheaded
diplomats, like Sen. Pell, to be put in charge of these
weighty matters. To leave this in the hands of a clique
of un-elected, self-appointed and unaccountable
covert operations is the greatest threat to US national
security and world security in history. Eisenhower
was right, but nobody was listening.
In light of testimony showing that covert actions have
been taken that involved violent engagement of these
visitors, it is imperative that the international
community in general and the US Congress and
President in particular do the following:
¤ Convene hearings to assess
the risks to national and
international security posed by the
current covert management of the
subject;
¤ Enforce an immediate ban on
weapons in space and
specifically ban the targeting of
any extraterrestrial objects since
such actions are unwarranted and
could endanger the whole of
humanity;
¤ Develop a special diplomatic
unit to interface with these
extraterrestrial civilizations,
foster communication and
peaceful relations;
¤ Develop a suitably
empowered and open
international oversight group to
manage human-extraterrestrial
relations and ensure peaceful and
mutually beneficial interactions;
¤ Support international
institutions that can ensure the
peaceful use of those new
technologies related to advanced
energy and propulsion systems
(see below).
In addition to the above, a less obvious but perhaps
equally pressing threat to world peace arises from
the fact that the covert control of this subject has
resulted in the world being deprived of the new
energy and propulsion technologies discussed earlier.
World poverty and a widening gap between rich and
poor are serious threats to world peace that would be
corrected by the disclosure and peaceful application
of these technologies (see above). The real threat of
war over a shrinking supply of fossil fuels in the next
10-20 years further underscores the need for this
disclosure. What happens when the 4 billion people
living in poverty want cars, electricity and other
modern conveniences all of which depend on fossil
fuels? To any thinking person, it is obvious that we
must transition quickly to the use of these now
classified technologies they are powerful solutions
already sitting on a shelf.
Of course, a number of insiders have pointed out that
these technologies are not your grandfather’s
Oldsmobile: They are technological advances, like
any other, that could be put to violent uses by
terrorists, bellicose nations and madmen. But here we
enter a catch 22: If these technologies are not
forthcoming soon, we will face a certain meltdown in
human civilization and the environment; if they are
disclosed, immensely powerful new technologies will
be out there for possible destructive uses.
In the near future, it is prudent to view humanity as
likely to use any new technology violently. This means
that international agencies must be created to ensure
and enforce the exclusive peaceful use of such
devices. The technologies exist today to link every
such device to a GPS (Global Positioning System)
monitor that could disable or render useless any
device tampered with or used for anything put
peaceful power generation and propulsion. These
technologies should be regulated and monitored. And
the international community must mature to a level of
competence to ensure their exclusive peaceful use.
Any other use should be met with overwhelming
resistance by every other nation on Earth.
Such a pact is the necessary next step. Maybe
someday, humanity will live in peace without the need
for such controls. But for now, the situation is like that
of chained dogs some strong leashes are warranted
and are essential.
But such concerns cannot be a rationale for further
delaying the disclosure of these technologies. We
have the knowledge and means to ensure their safe and
peaceful use and these must be applied soon if we
are to avoid further degradation of the environment
and an escalation of world poverty and conflict.
In the final analysis, then, we are faced with a social
and spiritual crisis that transcends any technological
or scientific challenge. The technological solutions
exit but do we possess the will, wisdom and
courage to apply them for the common good? The
more one contemplates this matter the more it is
obvious that we have one possible future: Peace.
Peace on Earth and peace in space a universal
Peace, wisely enforced; for every other path leads to
ruin
This then is the greatest challenge of the current era.
Can our spiritual and social resources rise to this
challenge? Nothing less than the destiny of the human
race hangs in the balance.
Dear Supporters of the Disclosure Project,
In the past few months, dozens of new military, intelligence and corporate witnesses to UFO events and projects have contacted us and offered to provide their testimony. They have seen the dozens of witnesses who came forward in 2001 and are encouraged by their example. Many of these new witnesses have deeper and more explosive information than those who came forward last year, and we need to secure this new testimony and evidence as soon as possible. To date, 119 prospective new witnesses have been identified and require proper background research, interviewing, filming and organization. To achieve this important goal, we are pleased to announce the commencement of the Witness Archive Project II, which will continue the archival preservation of important government insider testimony regarding UFOs, extraterrestrial intelligence and advanced energy and propulsion technologies. These 119 new witnesses are in addition to the over 100 witnesses filmed in the Witness Archive Project I, conducted in 2000 and 2001. We need your help and support to preserve and prepare for disclosure the testimony of these new and courageous men and women who are willing to come forward. In order to accomplish this, The Disclosure Project must: Research and organize the witness files, supporting documents and corroborating evidence . Travel to numerous locations to film the witnesses on digital videotape with an interviewer and camera operator . Edit the testimony into usable, concise testimony for educational purposes . Prepare audio tapes and written transcripts from the tapes for briefing materials and written summaries . Archive, duplicate and secure the testimony and supporting evidence. Even with primarily volunteer labor, we estimate the cost of doing the above, including equipment, tape stock and out of pocket travel expenses to be conservatively $150,000. I ask that you consider what this testimony and its disclosure is worth to the world and the cause of truth. If those on this list each contributed $25, which is tax-deductible, we would have enough to meet this important goal in 2002. So I ask that each of you give as much as you can to support this effort. In addition, we plan to have another major press conference at which some of these new witnesses will publicly share their testimony. Also, some of these witnesses will be presenting their testimony and evidence at the First Annual Disclosure Conference in the San Francisco Bay area June 21-23, 2002 (see information at http://www.disclosureproject.org/annualconference.htm). Please plan now to attend this important event. If you are a government, military, intelligence or corporate witness to UFO, ET or related events, please contact me in confidence regarding joining these dozens of heroic witnesses. I invite you to join the growing numbers of witnesses who agree with us that it is time to end the illegal, unconstitutional secrecy surrounding UFOs. Those of us who are not a witness can do his or her part to support this effort by donating generously to the new Witness Archive Project II. Donations may be made on the website at www.DisclosureProject.org, or by sending your check to: PO Box 2365, Charlottesville, VA 22902. If all of us pull together, we can create an unstoppable momentum for Disclosure. Thank you for your support and generosity. Wishing you all the best, Steven M. Greer MD Director, The Disclosure Project
The Disclosure Project, a 501c(3) non-profit association has identified over 450 government, military, intelligence community and defense contractor witnesses who are willing to testify, under oath, to their direct experience and knowledge of UFOs, Extraterrestrials and Extraterrestrial technology.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Division Chief John Callahan: “I saw a UFO chase a Japanese 747 across the sky for over half an hour on radar. I’ve got a videotape. I’ve got the voice tape. I’ve got the reports that were filed that will confirm what I’m telling you….I’m one of those, what you would call, high Government officials in the FAA.” Captain Robert Salas: USAF SAC Missile Launch Officer [1964-1971]: “The UFO incident happened on the morning of March 16, 1967….part of the 490th Strategic Missile Squad….the top side security guard says, ‘Sir, there’s a glowing red object hovering right outside the front gate; I’m looking at it right now. I’ve got all the men out here with their weapons drawn’…[as this was happening] our missiles [nuclear tipped Minuteman One missiles] started shutting down, one by one…so that morning we lost from 16 – 18 ICBMs at the same time UFOs were in the area” Brigadier General Steven Lovekin: Army National Guard Reserve: “This piece of an extraterrestrial craft was a grayish foil-like material….it had been taken from one of the ET craft that had crashed in New Mexico….. it had been taken from a box of materials that the military was working on….” Sgt. Clifford Stone: US Army: “I was involved in situations where we did recoveries of crashed flying saucers…. There were bodies involved…some were alive…if I am called before congress to testify…. I stand here ready today to do just that [testify to congress]”. The Disclosure Project, a nonprofit research and public interest group, has identified over 400 military, intelligence, government and corporate witnesses to rogue UFO and ET-related projects and events. The testimony of these witnesses along with government documents and other evidence may be seen at Disclosure Project Home Page
by Steven M. Greer, M.D.
Beginning in 1993, I started an effort that was designed to identify firsthand military and government witnesses to UFO events and projects, as well as other evidence to be used in a public disclosure. From 1993, we spent considerable time and resources briefing the Clinton Administration, including CIA Director James Woolsey, senior military officials at the Pentagon, and select members of Congress, among others. In April of 1997, more than a dozen such government and military witnesses were assembled in Washington DC for briefings with Congressmen, Pentagon officials and others. There, we specifically requested open Congressional Hearings on the subject. None were forthcoming.
In 1998, we set out to "privatize" the disclosure process by raising the funds to videotape, edit, and organize over 100 military and government witnesses to UFO events and projects. We had estimated that between $2 million and $4 million would be needed to do this on a worldwide basis. By August of 2000 only about 5% of this amount had been raised but we decided to proceed since further delay was deemed imprudent given the serious issues involved here. So beginning in August we began creating the Witness Archive Project and we set about the task of traveling all over the world to interview these witnesses in broadcast quality digital video format. Due to the severe limitation of funds, this effort was predominantly prepared by myself and a few other volunteers roughly from August 2000 through December 2000. Beginning in late December 2000, I began editing over 120 hours of raw digital video testimony at home. I should note that I am a medical doctor and not an editor. Nevertheless, from late December 2000 until late February 2001 the 120 hours were reduced first to 33 hours of select testimony and then 18 hours of super-select testimony. The 33 hours of select testimony were dubbed to audiotape and transcribed resulting in approximately 1200 pages of testimony transcripts. In March and early April, 2001 I edited these transcripts into a readable form, which appear herein. I must emphasize that this has been done under the most severe time and funding constraints, working 7 days a week and mostly 18 hours a day. And I thought the Emergency Department was tough! I share this only so the reader will understand that these transcripts and other materials are very likely to contain errors. These include likely errors in proper names arising from the phonetic spelling of such names directly from transcribed audio tapes of testimony. I apologize in advance for these. The transcripts (that appear in the Briefing Document) have only been altered to correct for a) length and b) grammar and readability. I have assiduously avoided changing the meaning of testimony at all times. Statements in brackets [ ] are for clarification. Statements in italics and brackets [ ] reflect commentary on my part and are followed by my initials, SG. These materials are, as you can now discern, only the tip of the iceberg of what we have recorded on digital videotape. That is, from over 120 hours of testimony by over 100 witnesses we transcribed only 33 hours and then further edited materials down to a fraction of that amount. Moreover, the full archive represents the testimony of only 100 witnesses of the more than 400 identified to date. The edited testimony will be appearing in book form. A portion of it appears in The Disclosure Project Briefing Document and only small excerpts and summary bios of testimony appear in this Executive summary. We hope in the future to secure funding for a 5-6 part broadcast quality video documentary series to be made from the videotaped testimony we have as the impact of hearing and seeing these witnesses speak is very moving. As you read this testimony remember that it is indeed only the beginning. The rest is up to you: Call and demand that Congress and the President and the leaders of other countries hold hearings into this subject without delay. These witnesses welcome a subpoena so that they may officially testify under oath to what they have experienced and said here. Indeed, the most revealing testimony waits to be seen since the deepest sources are refusing to come forward until protected through official Congressional hearings. This then brings me to my last point: The witnesses who have given testimony to date are extraordinarily brave men and women - heroes in my eyes - who have taken great personal risks in coming forward. Some have been threatened and intimidated. All are risking the ever-present ridicule that attends this subject. Not a single one of them has been paid for his or her testimony: It has been given freely and without reservation for the good of humanity. I wish to personally thank them here and extend to them my personal, highest respect and gratitude. Please, I implore you not to let this effort and their sacrifice be in vain. Help us place this matter in front of the public, the media, and our elected representatives so that the full truth may be disclosed, so that those Earth-saving technologies now classified may be released, and so humanity may enter a new chapter in its evolution as one of many people in the cosmos. This summary is focusing on the testimony of important first-hand witnesses. We have thousands of government documents, hundreds of photographs, trace landing cases and more, but it is impossible to include them in a summary of this length. These materials will be made available for any serious scientific or Congressional inquiry.

SCI FI Channel Challenges Government Secrecy
Supports New FOIA Effort on UFO Records and Release of Report on Failure to Conduct Scientific Research WHAT: The SCI FI Channel will announce its support of a new effort to gain release of secret government records on unidentified aerial phenomena, commonly referred to as UFOs and release a new report by an independent journalist on the federal government's failure to carry out systematic scientific research into this widespread phenomenon (5% to 10% of which scientists say cannot be explained by natural or human causes).

John Podesta, former Clinton White House Chief
of Staff, will speak in support of the effort to
gain release of still secret government UFO
records. He will cite the importance to the
public of declassifying government records.
Podesta was a key member of the Clinton administration. It was an administration went to great lengths to obtain the answer to the UFO mystery. Clinton's Science Advisor Dr. John Gibbons initiated an investigation by the U.S.A.F. into the crash of an unknown object at Roswell New Mexico. Clinton's first CIA Director James Woolsey in 1993 also green-lighted a new CIA investigation into UFOs. Clinton himself asked his good friend Webster Hubbell to find out the truth about UFOs. Hillary Clinton, also very interested in the UFO phenomena helped Laurance Rockefeller edit a letter to President Clinton on UFOs, and was briefed on the UFO subject by Rockefeller at the Rockefeller ranch during the President's 1995 vacation there. The Podesta statement will be part of an announcement by the SCI FI Channel in support of a new effort to gain release of secret government records on unidentified aerial phenomena, commonly referred to as UFOs and release a new report by an independent journalist on the federal government's failure to carry out systematic scientific research into this widespread phenomenon. The big announcement will be made at the National Press Club in Washington on Tuesday October 22, 2002. Besides offering up support for disclosure on UFOs, a new FOIA initiative will also be announced. This will include the announcement of the formation of the Coalition for Freedom of Information (CFI).
