Founder, The Disclosure Project
The Disclosure Project / CSETI
Steven Greer is a former emergency room physician who founded the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI) and the Disclosure Project. His 2001 National Press Club press conference — assembling 20+ military and government witnesses — was a landmark moment in UAP public advocacy. His subsequent work has become increasingly controversial.
Greer's 2001 Disclosure Project press conference at the National Press Club in Washington DC was attended by over 20 military, intelligence, and government witnesses who went on record — many for the first time — about UAP encounters and alleged cover-ups. The event generated significant mainstream media coverage and is widely regarded as a genuine landmark in UAP public history.
However, Greer's credibility has deteriorated substantially in the years since. He charges significant fees for CE-5 (Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind) contact experiences — group meditation sessions he claims can summon UAP. He has made claims about UAP that are not substantiated by other researchers and has attacked prominent figures in the UAP community — including Grusch, Elizondo, and Mellon — as being part of a disinformation campaign.
He has released alleged extraterrestrial biological material that experts have found to be terrestrial. His documentary "Sirius" (2013) featured an alleged alien body ("Atacama humanoid") that was subsequently DNA-tested and confirmed to be a mummified human child.
He retains a following and his 2001 event remains historically significant, but he is not regarded as a reliable voice by most serious researchers currently working in the field.
Founds CSETI
Organises National Press Club Disclosure Project conference — widely regarded as a landmark
Releases "Sirius" documentary; Atacama "alien" confirmed to be human child by DNA analysis
Becomes increasingly critical of other UAP researchers and whistleblowers
Publicly attacks Grusch, Elizondo, and others as alleged disinformation agents
Greer's 2001 National Press Club conference assembled genuine military and government witnesses. However, he has since made increasingly unverifiable claims, charges substantial fees for contact experiences, and his credibility within the UAP research community has declined significantly. He is also notable for publicly attacking other whistleblowers and researchers.
