The Disclosure Project is an organization started by Steven M. Greer in 1993 that alleges the existence of a US government cover-up of information relating to unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The Project claims that UFOs are spacecraft piloted by intelligent extraterrestrial life, a fact that the United States government is keeping secret. The Project claims that the government has also concealed advanced energy technologies obtained from the extraterrestrials. These technologies are being suppressed and hidden in top secret black-on-black "black projects" in order not to upset the global geo-political power and energy-sector financial status-quo and its oil industry "special interests".

The Project's goal is for free and open Congressional hearings of all data regarding UFOs, including the large amount of information they claim is being hidden, and for release of the technology they claim is being suppressed, particularly free energy sources.

The Project has announced that as of 2009 it's working actively with the government of an undisclosed G8 country, in establishing official contact with the alleged ETs and bringing this to the attention of the United Nations[1]

The Disclosure Project uses written statements and accounts from military personnel and defense industry employees as evidence for the Project's claims.[2]

[edit] Public reception

The Project has been well-received by UFO enthusiasts, with speeches from Greer and various other witnesses being presented at various UFO-themed conferences. Since 2001, Greer has held numerous press conferences and embarked on a continuing series of lectures and television appearances trying to raise popular support.[3]

Mainstream media coverage has been mostly neutral, with a BBC reporter deeming a Disclosure Project news conference the strangest ever held by the National Press Club.[4] James Oberg, an ABC News space consultant and retired NASA engineer notes that not every witness attending the conference necessarily subscribed to Greer's theory, and says people sometimes can be too quick to conclude that the explanation involves extra-terrestrials.[5]
