Dr. Steven Greer Shows 3 Alien Photos, Congress UFO Hearing, Aliens & Pyramids (Flashback)
In a 2023 VladTV exclusive, Dr. Steven Greer, the founder of the Disclosure Project, discussed the need for increased transparency in investigations into UFO sightings and demands for classified information on possible extraterrestrial technology. Greer criticizes the process so far, stating it lacks a proper hearing with subpoena power, preventing key whistleblowers from coming forward. He stresses the need for a long-term, thorough investigation and dismisses the idea of appointing an external panel of experts, alleging the risk of infiltration by those seeking to maintain secrecy. Greer reveals the existence of secret bases storing unidentified aeronautical phenomena (UAPs) and says high-value witnesses could provide more information with appropriate legal protection. If Congress fails to act, Greer suggests that the Disclosure Project may initiate a racketeering influence corrupt organization (RICO) lawsuit against the relevant corporations and individuals.
