So my focus has been on the<br \/>\ninstitutional aspects\u2026to very rationally and proactively build an institutional<br \/>\nbase outward. Right now, we have an outmoded and antiquated 50-year policy of<br \/>\nofficial denial that nobody now believes. At the same time, the necessary work<br \/>\nto build the institutional infrastructure to deal with the presence of UFOs and<br \/>\nextraterrestrials is not happening,&quot; Webre said.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">ET craft recovered<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">&quot;We are talking about a<br \/>\nnew space policy and paradigm if you assume that the universe may be populated<br \/>\nand regulated,&quot; Webre said. He said the group is hopeful of motivating<br \/>\nCongress to hold hearings on their findings perhaps as early as this year, or<br \/>\nin 2002, he said.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Today, Greer said, that the<br \/>\nevidence and testimony point to the fact that Earth is indeed being visited by<br \/>\nadvanced extraterrestrial civilizations and has been for some time. Moreover,<br \/>\nthis fact is the most classified-compartmented program within the U.S.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"> and many other countries. Advanced<br \/>\nspacecraft of extraterrestrial origin have been downed, retrieved and studied<br \/>\nsince at least the 1940s, and possibly as early as the 1930s.<\/span><o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Greer said that by studying an<br \/>\nET craft, new breakthroughs in energy generation and propulsion have been made.<br \/>\nIn fact, classified, above top-secret projects possess fully operational<br \/>\nanti-gravity propulsion devices and new energy generation systems. If these<br \/>\nenergy sources are declassified, he said, civilization could be empowered and<br \/>\nfree of environmental damage.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Among a number of recommended<br \/>\nsteps to incorporate the science behind UFOs, the President of the United States<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"> should create a new scientific<br \/>\nresearch organization. This group would be charted to integrate the knowledge<br \/>\nand technologies behind UFOs with mainstream scientific and academic<br \/>\ninstitutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Disclosure Project<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.disclosureproject.org\/\">http:\/\/www.disclosureproject.org<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Exopolitics.com<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.exopolitics.com\/\">http:\/\/www.exopolitics.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.space.com\/searchforlife\/UFO_hearings_010509.html\">Read space.com article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1569\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omniversity.us\/exopolitics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
