Dr. Steven Greer Answers Questions: What Is A UFO, Why Does The Government Keep Them Secret? [VIDEO]

Most people don't realize that what a UFO actually is, first of all, it's a dumb word because they are not actually unidentified and they don't fly. They don't fly like a jet. So two of the three words that make up that acronym are incorrect. But they are basically an alternative energy and propulsion device. Once that began to really be documented by contractors in the US government in the 1940s, '50s, '60s, they were really able to accelerate the research so that by 1954, they had figured out, what's called, gravity control, which the pop culture would call 'anti-gravity,' it's not anti-gravity actually. But it is gravity control as well as 'zero-point energy' which is pulling energy out of the space around us to run an engine or to run a motor or what have you. So these technologies were being studied very heavily by a team headed up by Dr. Vannevar Bush, who was head of the Manhattan Project, and by 1954 it was pretty well known, at least to science. The problem became to be, and this is what President Eisenhower warned us about, the secrecy became so enmeshed and compartmented in intelligence operations, that even he as president lost control over it. One of our military witnesses, he was a young man working at the White House – which I'm looking at from my place here in Washington, he told us, Mr. Lubkin, who is an attorney, said that Eisenhower was very frustrated that he was being denied information on the projects controlling this issue. So the secrecy went off the rails into these unacknowledged special access projects.

When I started out, I was just going out and doing investigation and seeing, 'Hey, can we make contact with these objects?', 'Can we document them?' And it turns out that once we did, I got pulled in and was asked to brief President Clinton's new CIA director. And it was then that I began to realize that there were people inside government that know about these projects and there are people inside who do not know and it has nothing to do with your rank, it doesn't matter if you are the president. It doesn't matter if you're the CIA director. It only matters if the bureaucracy feels like you are going to go along with the agenda and keeping this secret. And the secrecy is the hardest thing for people to understand, it was the first question from the CIA director, why would this be so secretive? Why aren't they telling even the president about this? And my wife and I were at this meeting, about a three-hour meeting, and I said that they don't believe that this president, Clinton at the time in December of '93, would go along with the agenda. If he disclosed this information, it would basically be the end of oil, gas, and coal, and public utilities because we would have a technology that would completely transform our world. Now I think that that's a good thing but if you own a trillion dollars in oil assets and coal and public utilities and stocks, you're probably not so enthralled. So I think that that's one of the big issues. The secrecy was not based on normal national security concerns – it's not like there is some threat from outer space like all the stupid movies in Hollywood – it's really more about, if you let this information out and confirm it as legitimate, there very first thing that a scientist with an IQ over mud is going to ask is, 'how are those things moving like that?' 'How are they going 200 thousand miles per hour and making a right hand turn without decelerating?' So you're talking about controlling gravity, controlling the fabric of space time in an envelope around these objects, and it's all advanced electromagnetic systems. So once this began to be realized, they said, 'Well, we really don't want this to come out, so lets just keep it secret.' 70 years later, here we are. So what the Disclosure Project, the project I founded after I basically gave up on the White House and Congress, I thought that the people need to do this. So we had a couple dozen top secret guys on our team, who came forward initially. Now, I've probably interviewed eight or nine hundred people who have been in these various projects. So we've taken sort of the tip of this ice berg and put it in this movie 'Unacknowledged' to give people a sense of what the information is, but also understanding how secrecy at this level is maintained, but what the reason for the secrecy is. Because it doesn't make any sense, you know, why would this be secret? It would be cool to know if there was intelligent life out there, and it is. But, if along with that, you're going to have the most disruptive technology in all of history come out, that pretty much only Exxon Mobile could by, so, you know, BP is gone, your public utilities are unnecessary, so this becomes to be a big macro-economic issue and that is what the secrecy is partially rooted in.
