December 5, 2002: Study of Extraterrestial Intelligence - Dr. Steven M. Greer

Dr. Steven M. Greer of the Disclosure Project joins Art Bell to discuss extraterrestrial intelligence, visitor intentions, alleged military abductions, and suppressed zero-point energy after an opening hour of physical-contact alien encounter calls. Art opens all phone lines exclusively for callers who claim actual physical contact with alien beings, seeking to answer one question: are the visitors friend or foe? Callers describe encounters ranging from a Pleiadian who spent two weeks reading encyclopedias without eating or drinking to terrifying bedroom visitations involving paralysis and telepathic communication. A woman named Paulette shares a detailed account of being taken to a facility by Bob Lazar in the late 1970s where she claims to have entered spacecraft and seen alien bodies.

Greer argues firmly that extraterrestrial visitors are not hostile. He contends that much of what passes for alien abduction actually involves clandestine military operations using man-made alien reproduction vehicles, programmable life forms, and psychotronic weapon systems. Greer warns that fear of extraterrestrials is being deliberately cultivated to justify a multi-trillion-dollar space weapons program, citing warnings from Werner von Braun.

Greer also discusses his work to bring suppressed zero-point energy technologies to the public through his organization, announcing plans to test several devices within months. He maintains that civilizations capable of interstellar travel must have evolved beyond aggression, and that humanity's real challenge is escaping the grip of secrecy surrounding these issues.
