August 8, 2004: Disclosure Project CSETI - Dr. Steven M. Greer

Art Bell hosts Dr. Steven M. Greer, founder of the Disclosure Project and CSETI, for an explosive discussion about UFO secrecy and government cover-ups. The episode opens with open lines focused on close encounter reports, as callers from across the country share detailed sightings of massive black triangles, glowing orbs, and zigzagging lights, echoing Art's own famous triangle sighting. ABC television crews film the broadcast for a special scheduled to air in February 2005.

Art plays a chilling voicemail threat left on the CSETI phone line, warning Greer to stop prying into government matters or face dire consequences. The call originated from an untraceable number in the Turks and Caicos Islands with an electronically altered voice. Greer responds defiantly, vowing to redouble his efforts and revealing that over 450 military and intelligence witnesses stand ready to testify about covert programs.

Greer makes a stunning claim about former CIA Director William Colby, alleging that Colby was prepared to transfer $50 million in funding and functional extraterrestrial energy devices to the Disclosure Project before being found dead in the Potomac River. He connects the suppression of advanced propulsion technologies to the ongoing dependence on fossil fuels and the Iraq War, arguing that zero-point energy systems could transform civilization.

Key Moments

  1. The CSETI threat message played on air: Art plays the recorded threat left on Greer's CSETI line: an electronically altered voice warning him to stop investigating the government.

  2. Why an ER doctor chases UFO disclosure: Greer explains that covert programs are sitting on solutions to oil wars, pollution and economic chaos, and that the deeper question is who speaks for planet Earth.

  3. Anti-gravity craft over Provo in 1964: Greer claims his uncle was a senior project engineer on the lunar module and that by the moon landing the U.S. was already test-flying electro-gravitic anti-gravity craft, citing a 1964 photograph over Provo, Utah.

  4. Three-star general: check under your car for bombs: Greer recounts that after the 2001 National Press Club disclosure event, a three-star general told one of his witnesses that Greer should be checking under his car for bombs.

  5. Bill Colby and the $50 million meeting that never happened: Greer alleges that former CIA Director Bill Colby was about to transfer $50 million and working extraterrestrial energy devices to his group when Colby was found dead in the Potomac.
