There were already signs at that press conference that Greer's ability to distinguish fact from fiction and fantasy was not very good. Some of the witnesses were credible in saying that they saw something that they could not identify. In particular I've always found the Iran UFO interesting and I think the eyewitness was telling his eyewitness account as he remembered it as did some others.

In May of 2001 Dr. Greer held a 4 hour press conference in front of the National Press Club during which credible witnesses spoke about their personal knowledge about UFOs and aliens.

But others at the press conference did not have any credibility to me, like Clifford Stone talking about the 57 species of extraterrestrials. So I think already at that press conference, Greer displayed a lack of judgement in including people like Clifford Stone who didn't have any credibility, alongside more credible observers like the Iranian pilot.
Richard Hall was a leading Ufologist and proponent of the extraterrestrial hypothesis to explain UFO sightings.. He wrote a column for the MUFON UFO journal, but the MUFON director refused to publish his column criticizing Greer and Greer's failure to vet speakers. He mentioned some other dubious speakers like Roger Lier and his claims about Alien Implants and Joseph McMoneagle and remote viewing about which he said "there is an appearance of naivete and gullibility unless MUFON takes pains to provide background as to its relevance and validity". So here is a senior UFO man writing columns for MUFON who believes in the ET hypothesis, who already recognized problems with Greer including speakers who frankly weren't credible, along with some who were. So it's not like Greer's hoaxing of the moth alien a decade later was the first sign of his credibility issues, which were already very apparent to folks like Richard Hall who had such issues with Greer that he felt it was a travesty that Greer was being allowed to speak at a MUFON symposium in 2001.
That doesn't support your hypothesis about Greer only going off the rails later, because Richard Hall, ET believer thought Greer was already off the rails at the time of that 2001 conference, and that Greer was also inviting speakers to his "disclosure project" who had not been properly vetted and were not credible.
To the chagrin of UFO hunters, Ata is decidedly of this world. After mapping more than 500 million reads to a reference human genome, equating to 17.7-fold coverage of the genome, Nolan concluded that Ata "is human, there's no doubt about it." Moreover, the specimen's B2 haplotype—a category of mitochondrial DNA—reveals that its mother was from the west coast of South America: Chile, that is.

Then 9/11 happened....and afterwards Dr. Greer inexplicably went about discrediting his reputation. I personally believe "They" got to him and let him know it would be better for himself if he could manage to turn himself into a joke among the serious ufo community. I wouldn't be surprised if 9/11 was partially in response to his press conference.
Greer does have some better sound design and graphics in his video production than the lower budget producers on this subject. But your take is that his info is good but he’s being suppressed to keep us down... this guy is a salesmen selling you false hope and salvation communing with moving lights in the desert... those who have done more research than consume the documentaries (that used to have a pay wall, that was probably there to keep us uninformed too!) see the bs he smears on the screen. Greers opinion and business pray on new age hopefuls who openly accept all that is presented to them. It’s all fake, he’s a hoaxer a scam artist, a film maker and story teller. It’s fantasy based infotainment

Great thread, I'm a fan of Greer and have seen Sirius and its a very good documentary in my opinion, as are his other ones. I see the typical shill trashing going on, pretty sure they have never checked his stuff out (not an open mind I suppose or c_a style amateur hour discrediting going on because they don't want people to know any of this material and ya know, keep people ignorant. I wonder if any of them saw any of the witness testimonies on his yet page? Are they lying too? Lol) To each their own I guess. These materials that are being studied were in all likelihood made off world with isotopes of different elements we don't see here on earth or haven't discovered as of yet. S&F OP thanks!
So to be clear, you believe following the 3rd Reich is the SANE thing?

However the 3rd Reich was heavy into meditation and contact via meditation and mediums and the paranormal to contact ET. But when Greer does it hes nutz?
