Dozens of New Top-Secret Government UFO Witnesses Identified One Year After
CSETI DC Briefings
One year after the CSETI (Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial
Intelligence) briefings for members of Congress, White House staff and
other government and military leaders, dozens of new, top-secret government
UFO witnesses have come forward.
On April 9, 1997, CSETI convened extensive briefings for government and
military leaders concerning the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial
intelligence. Nearly 30 congressional offices were represented at the
briefings, which were held at the Georgetown Westin Hotel in Washington DC.
Since that date, dozens of never-before identified top-secret military and
government witnesses have come forward, who are ready to testify before
congressional hearings regarding unambiguous UFO-related events and
projects which they have directly observed. This is in addition to the
first-hand military witnesses who provided similar testimony at the
closed-door briefings for government leaders last April.
At that time, CSETI Director Steven M. Greer M.D. asked that congress hold
open hearings at which definitive evidence and military witness testimony
could be presented. The assembled government leaders were told that in the
post Cold War era, there was no reason for the continuation of blanket
secrecy concerning the UFO / ETI issue and that the time for disclosure had
come.
In the past year, Dr. Greer and other members of the CSETI Project
Starlight disclosure coalition have met with various members of Congress,
senior Pentagon officials and others to encourage an orderly open hearing
process through which these historic disclosures can be made. Hundreds of
people have called and written key congressional committee chairmen to
recommend such hearings.
While CSETI continues to provide briefing materials and conduct meetings
with various government leaders, as of this date no congressional committee
or member of congress has agreed to hold the open public hearings.
CSETI leadership has been briefing world government and military leaders on
this matter since the fall of 1993. This briefing process has included
senior Clinton Administration officials, sitting CIA Director James
Woolsey, former United Kingdom Ministry of Defense head and five star
Admiral Lord Hill-Norton, then UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros Ghali
and his wife, other senior UN officials, and numerous private briefings
with members of Congress, among others.
While there has been keen interest in the subject and wide-spread support
for disclosure, to date no official government body or leader has been
willing to conduct open hearings to finally disclose the facts related to
UFOs and Extraterrestrial Intelligence.
Ironically, most of these government leaders – who universally have been
denied access to ultra-secret ‘black’ projects dealing with the UFO matter-
have recommended that Dr. Greer and the coalition of top-secret military
whistle blowers step forward unilaterally and by-pass the government
process altogether. Such advise has even been offered by sitting members of
Congress and very senior Pentagon officials with the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
To this end, Dr. Greer and his advisors are making preparations so the
top-secret government witnesses and other evidence related to UFOs can be
disclosed in a privatized process which will by-pass the governmental
bureaucracy. The privatization of the UFO disclosure process, while
regrettable, also appears inevitable since Congress and other government
leaders are apparently reluctant to expose these secret programs to public.
Dr. Greer stated ” While an open congressional hearing on the UFO/ETI
subject is still the preferred venue for a definitive disclosure on the
subject, it appears that most government leaders cannot gain access to
these so-called black projects, and therefore have been kept in the dark.
And there appears to be an absence of courage and leadership in Washington
at this time to convene open congressional hearings at which top-secret
military whistle blowers could come forward. Regrettably, pro-active
efforts to officially end the excessive secrecy surrounding the UFO subject
have been met with inaction in congress and in the White House. After four
and a half years of intensive briefings for world and national leaders by
CSETI, it appears that a civilian effort to end this secrecy is our best
hope in the near term.”
Dr. Greer and others are planning a multi-media, coordinated release of
evidence and top-secret government witness testimony in the relatively near
future.”
