September 16, 1999: CSETI & Alien Contact - Dr. Steven M. Greer | UFOs - Peter Davenport
Davenport reveals that the Oregon Air National Guard failed to issue its standard press release before the scramble, making it the only such omission on record. Witnesses report F-15s departing Portland at full afterburner, shattering windows in their wake. A second sighting that same evening describes a massive stationary dome glowing maroon-red near Interstate 5.
Dr. Steven M. Greer of CSETI joins to describe a triangular formation observed over Mount Shasta during a week-long contact expedition. He outlines the Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind protocols his team uses, involving lasers, tones, and directed consciousness. Greer discusses his meetings with CIA Director Woolsey and argues that many abduction experiences could involve military disinformation using reverse-engineered technology.
Key Moments
Witness describes UFO 'like a skyscraper moving laterally': Davenport plays a recorded call from an Oregon broccoli-seed farmer who, with his girlfriend, watched a massive object cross the sky south of Corvallis on September 1 - a fireball that suddenly went out and continued as what looked like a skyscraper flying sideways. Followed 15 minutes later by a hovering maroon-glowing dome the size of six full moons.
Davenport: Russian-booster cover story is unraveling: Peter Davenport reports that the official NORAD/Air National Guard explanation for the September 1, 1999 sighting over Oregon - a re-entering Russian space booster, with Oregon Air Guard F-15s scrambling for a routine training exercise - is collapsing under multiple witness reports, and a public-affairs officer admits no press release was ever actually issued for the supposed exercise.
Greer's CSETI team draws a giant triangle over Mount Shasta: Steven Greer recounts that on three separate nights at a CSETI expedition on Mount Shasta the prior week, his 25-person team used lasers, tones and consciousness protocols and watched a perfect equilateral triangle of star-bright points - points roughly 10 miles apart, moving in rigid formation and visibly tilting on its axis - appear directly overhead. He notes the equilateral triangle is the CSETI logo.
Greer's CIA briefing and the disclosure problem: Greer describes briefing the sitting CIA director, who had personally seen a UFO when younger but could not get information through his own channels - illustrating that even at the very top of U.S. intelligence the secrecy around extraterrestrial evidence holds, and why the public will have to lead any disclosure effort.
Colonel Corso and the ET reply: 'A new world, if you can take it': Greer relates a story Colonel Philip Corso reportedly told a friend before his death - an incident at White Sands where an extraterrestrial outside a landed craft invited military personnel aboard. Asked 'friend or foe,' the being replied 'neither'; asked 'what's in it for me,' it replied 'a new world, if you can take it.'
