MILITARY, GOVERNMENT WITNESSES TO
PROVIDE TESTIMONY ON UFO\/EXTRATERRESTRIAL PRESENCE;
CONGRESSIONAL LEGISLATION SOUGHT
On Wednesday, May 9th, over twenty military, intelligence, government, corporate and scientific
witnesses will come forward at the National Press Club in Washington, DC to establish the
reality of UFOs or extraterrestrial vehicles, extraterrestrial life forms, and resulting advanced
energy and propulsion technologies. The weight of this first-hand testimony, along with
supporting government documentation and other evidence, will establish without any doubt the
reality of these phenomena, according to Dr. Steven M. Greer, director of the Disclosure Project
which is hosting the event.
The Disclosure Project, a non-profit research organization, is calling for open Congressional
hearings on the UFO\/Extraterrestrial presence, and for legislation that will ban space-based
weapons. Congressional hearings were last held in 1968 by the House Science and Astronautics
Comni.itt.ee (90th Congress, 2"d Session, Committee Print No. 7. "Symposium on Unidentified
Flying Qbjects.")
The Pro' ect has identified several hundred witnesses throughout the w
branch of the armed services, the Nationa Reconnaissance Office (NRO), DIA, CIA, NASA,
Russia. UK, and other agencies and countries. Over 100 have been videotaped;
7o have been transcribed into edited testimony. Videotaped summary of the testimony and an indepth
briefing document with witness transcripts will be available at the press conference.
Among the witnesses attending the event are: John Callahan, former Division Chief of the
Accidents and Investigations Branch, FAA; Master Sergeant Dan Morris, former US Air Force
and NRO operative with cosmic top secret clearance; Dr. Carol Rosin, space missile defense
consultant and former spokesperson for Wernher Von Braun; Major George A Filer III, former
Air Force Intelligence; Graham Bethune, retired Navy commander pilot with a top-secret<\/p>\n

clearance; Michael Smith, former Air Traffic Controller, US Air Force; Sergeant Clifford Stone,
United States Army; Lt. Col. Robert Salas, former SAC Launch Controller, US Air Force and
FAA.
Participants in this phase of the disclosure effort are asking for Congressiona~ White House and
UN action to allow witnesses to testify under oath in open hearings. The group is requesting a
Presidential Executive Order to protect witnesses afraid of violating security oaths and to
declassify documents and secret projects for the benefit of all world citizens.
"These testimonies establish once and for all that we are not alone. Technologies related to
extraterrestrial phenomena are capable of providing solutions to the global energy crisis, and
other environmental and security challenges," says Dr. Greer.
The Disclosure team and selected witnesses will be meeting with members of Congress and
conducting briefings to address these issues and call for legislation.

BACKGROUND BRIEFING POINTS FOR
CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS & LEGISLATION
The Disclosure Project is a non-profit research effort that has, since 1993, been identifying top-secret
military, government and other witnesses to UFO and Extraterrestrial events.
To date, several hundred such witnesses have been identified throughout the world and spanning every
branch of the anned services, the NRO, DIA, CIA, NASA, the former USSR, and other agencies and
countries. Over 100 have been videotaped, thus far; 70 have been transcribed into edited testimony. A
four hour videotape summary of testimony and an over 500 page briefing document is available that
contains excerpts of this historic testimony.
The weight of this testimony, along with supporting government documents and other evidence,
establishes beyond any doubt the reality of extraterrestrial life forms, UFOs, or extraterrestrial vehicles,
and advanced energy and propulsion technologies resulting from the study of these vehicles.
The testimony and evidence proves that these vehicles have been tracked on radar on many occasion,
have landed and\/or crashed on terra firma, and have been retrieved and studied by specialized and
compartmentalized projects. Advanced technologies which have been identified from the study of these
vehicles, once disclosed, will replace currently used forms of energy generation and propulsion. These
technologies will enable the earth to attain a sustainable civilization without pollution, energy shortages,
or global warming. These technologies are already fully operational. They have been developed within
super-secret, unacknowledged special access projects. In short, the definitive solution to the world's
energy, pollution, and poverty problems exists within compartmentalized projects that need planned
disclosure and relevant legislation.
The programs controlling this issue are operating outside of legally required Congressional oversight.
Even Presidents have been left out of the loop, deliberately deceived, and denied access. Therefore,
urgent action is needed on the part of Congress, the White House, and other institutions to obtain the
necessary oversight and control of these operations to ensure that these now-classified technologies are
prepared for disclosure and the eventual near-term application for world cooperative energy generation
and propulsion.
A clear and on-going threat to the national security and world peace has arisen because of unauthorized
covert actions that have led to the targeting and downing of these extraterrestrial vehicles and to related
covert plans to weaponize space. Since it can be proven that we are sharing space with other civilizations,
it is critical that a full disclosure of this long suppressed information take place, and that the National
Missile Defense System (NMD\/BMD\/SDI.) be re-evaluated by policy makers in light of these revelations.
There is no evidence that these extraterrestrial civilizations are hostile to humanity or the earth. Rather,
the testimony shows that they are very concerned about nuclear and space-based weapons systems, and
human warfare. Therefore, a cooperative world policy and law must be immediately established to
prohibit the targeting and striking of these vehicles.<\/p>\n

Urgent Congressional, White House and UN action is needed to allow any and all witnesses to testify
under oath so that a full, honest and open disclosure may occur this year, 200 I, including witnesses with
high level security clearances.
A US Presidential Executive Order is needed to protect these military, government, and other witnesses,
and to declassify secret projects and their related technologies. \u00b7
The world community needs to research and develop diplomatic programs and protocols, laws and
treaties to address this issue and to interface with these civilizations in a manner that is peaceful, non\u00b7
violent and mutually beneficial.
WE, THE PEOPLE, CALL ON THE U.S. CONGRESS;
*To hold open, secrecy-free hearings on the UFO\/Extraterrestrial presence on and around Earth.
*To hold open hearings on advanced energy and propulsion systems related to the subject that, when
publicly released, will provide solutions to global environmental and other challenges.
*To enact legislation which will ban all space-based weapons.
*To enact comprehensive legislation to research, develop and explore space peacefully and cooperatively
with all cultures on Earth and in space.
Witnesses will present the reality and implications of these issues at a Press Briefing on:
