Well not to be insulting, I dont believe Greer either. Mostly again for the same reasons Nygdan has already stated. But there's more...
Like the black and white document from several people saying Greer FAR overstated his "briefing" with the former CIA Director, and others.

The idea that he's claimed to have "vectored in" structured alien craft to within very close proximity, yet provides NO video evidence, to date.

Greer also on the show, became very angry when he was confronted about making money off the UFO stuff. Ok, exceedingly angry, to the point where he told the host "you dont know what youre talking about".

Greer claimed SETI was recieving many alien signals, and claimed this info came from an "insider" who didnt wish to be named. My response to that? THEN DONT TALK ABOUT IT.
Originally posted by jritzmann
Claims? How about claiming the US Military attacked an underground ET base with nerve gas? NOT one SHRED of proof to back up the statement. Another wild statement to generate buzz and sell his "seminars" where you too can learn to vector in "craft" with a flashlight for a several hundred dollar "donation".

I only need to look at ONE instance with this guy to see what he was all about. When he was on Larry King Live, years ago, he was asked "Does the President know?" (about UFOs/aliens) Greer's answer was ended by saying "..as far as how much the president knows...I really cant comment on that". When Stanton Friedman called him on it by saying "what does THAT mean?", Greer stated he simply didnt know how much the President had been briefed. But it was clear at that time to me, that he was trying to look as if he had some sort of inside knowledge that he was admonished from talking about. The only problem was, Friedman wasnt having it, and called him on it.

I think the Disclosure project was a valiant effort. The only problem is, is that Greer ruins it with his own credibility.
The bottom line is Greer has shown no evidence for his wild claims. Show me *anything

Just curious - I've been reading and hearing a lot about the Greer-love-ins going on, and though have yet to shell out the bucks to attend one myself, can anyone substantiate:
"...real encounters over the past 15 years. From craft landing in the desert of Joshua Tree wilderness, to enormous deep space vehicles hundreds of miles or more in diameter floating over Mt. Shasta..."
Any photos? Sound recordings" Eye witness accounts? You mean to tell me that Greer gathered a bevy of paying customers together in the mountains with the sole purpose of summoning the aliens and the aliens showed up with a ship "hundreds of miles across" - and no one snapped a picture???!?!?!?!
Uh, ok... gee whiz. I suggest that at the next such gathering that at the very least ONE PERSON be designated to pull their cell phone out of their pocket when the "hundreds-of-miles-across" alien ship shows up and capture the moment for the rest of us. Suggestion #2: Greer should then PUBLICIZE the photo as evidence and regain all of his lost credibility and then some...
just a thought...

This next CSETI event to take place outside Palm Springs in February is going to be the next book. They aim to go up in a spaceship.
There is a legal agreement form on the site which you must sign on application, stating you will not bring cameras.
Greer can make a good living doing these "CE-5" gatherings - as long people will pay. 20 multiply $700 several times a year is not bad. I don't have that kind of money to gamble on this guy's credibility. If there was evidence posted up on his site (proving the close up sightings I read in his new book) I would indeed be up for it - then I am sure over a million others would be too and the fee would be higher! The argument is that people will abuse the contact protocol if pictures are taken and ET will no longer take notice. This is very debatable given what the campaign is all about.
It would surely be an idea to quietly stalk the group from Palm Springs and take one's own pictures as soon as the lights appear. If I lived in Southern California I would probably do that.

Why don't they ever update their site. Are they still trying to get open-door hearings in congress?

Good freakin' point.
You would think an organization charging $700 for some kind of "summer camp" with disclosure agreements and everything would update their site once in a while.
Not only update it, but upGRADE it. It's a real piece of garbage in terms of web design and aesthetics. This is coming from a web designer's point of view.
If you want to be taken seriously, present yourself in a serious manner.
Don't get me wrong, I think the Disclosure Project is very beneficial and it's very interesting and I've read up on it a lot, but the whole CSETI rip off of SETI is a bit outlandish.

Outrageo seems to take the most open-minded, yet scientifc, viewpoint on Greer - we should watch the evidence and way the facts - but we should not except outrageous claims without significant evidence.
Greer has indeed raised awareness for UFOlogy - and that is no small feat.
However - it seems likely he is either now - or has always been - compromised (or an opportunist)
The facts are we need to support groups that are willing to work with the ameteur UFOlogy community and not simply exploit it.
I (and I think may others here) would gladly support a group that raised UFOlogy awareness with innovative media campaigns - (like those thought provoking anti-smoking ads) - and who provided an internet library of sorts that allowed universal access to a large collection of compiled UFO evidence and UFOlogy white papers (even if it cost a one time or monthly fee)
We can not - and will not - throw our money away on hippie love-ins with vague hopes of seeing orb's.
And I think the prohibition against photography at these events speaks for its self.
I mean - anyone can release some ballons to become Profit Yaweh - but it will take individuals of substantial intelligence and courage to truly champion UFOlogy - and guide us closer to a real Disclosure.

If everybody that believes in UFO's wants to really get the mainstream press looking into the matter, they should all get together for a protest. No, not at the Whitehouse...
Imagine hundreds of people holding picket signs marching accross the border signs at Area 51! With mass media coming, they are not going to start shooting into the croud. And even if they never actually cross the signs, the media would be all over it thinking it was really going to happen. At worst this would bring to light the mass interest in the subject.
Dr. Greer can be there with a mic and doing interviews or whatever. Get Stanton, Lazar, Davenport, the whole damned party!
Who the hell says we are supposed to wait for "contact"? Let's go after them where they live!

Unless, of course, that is all part of a CIA plot to discredit Dr. Greer.
