For years we've been talking about some of the fundamental structural problems in our society. One of the fundamental problems is the issue we're dealing with tonight. I will connect the dots for you of why this issue is relevant to the events of yesterday. I'll do it as delicately as I can. Steven M. Greer , M.D. author's bio I wasn't sure I was going to be here today because my daughter was in Washington when these events unfolded yesterday. We were trying to evacuate her until last night out of the city pending further events there. And then I found out one of our friends and supporters of this project was in the World Trade Center when it fell. I often say, unless we change directions, we're likely to end up where we're going. For years we've been talking about some of the fundamental structural problems in our society. One of the fundamental problems is the issue we're dealing with tonight. I will connect the dots for you of why this issue is relevant to the events of yesterday. I'll do it as delicately as I can. But let me start off by saying this: On the 13th of December, 1993, my wife and I flew into Washington. I had someone take a shift from the emergency department--I'm a doctor, a medical doctor--did emergency medicine; and I was asked by President Clinton's first CIA director to brief him on this subject. And you might ask, What the hell is a country doctor from North Carolina, where I was living at the time, doing briefing a sitting CIA director on the most classified projects in the history of the U.S. government? Well, my uncle designed the lunar module that took Neil Armstrong to the moon--yes, we did go to the moon--and when I was young I saw one of these objects: close range, anti-gravity, disc-shaped in broad daylight. I was a little boy, about eight or nine years old. And of course, my parents said, Oh well, it's a child about this age [indicates child in audience]--and was sort of discounted. Don't discount your children. Believe them. I began to study this issue, and by 1993, and three years after starting CSETI, Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, we had successfully been able to set up protocols to go to the various areas of the world where these objects were being seen and establish initial contact with them. Close range. They'd hover in a field with us...all kinds of things. And word of this, of course, while it's been laughed about a lot by the public, the head of Army intelligence and other spooks took this very seriously. And they invited me to a meeting and began to ask, Just who the hell did I think I was and what were we doing going out there doing this? Subsequently, some people close to the CIA director after President Clinton was elected had been following me around at lectures just like this, little meetings, small gatherings of four, five, six hundred people. He came up to me after one of these presentations, where I had stated that we needed to have a government-related disclosure of this subject so that the relations between humans and these other life forms could be taken care of properly by the people in our government and in our society capable of dealing with this as something other than strictly a military paradigm. And this gentleman said, "Well I know a few people and I've been following you for about four of these events." I had not recognized him in the audience--I was being stalked by a CIA spook. But he said, "I really want to help you do this, and I know some folks that you need to meet with." And I said, "Who might that be?" I thought he was going to say, you know, this network or that network, or whatever. But he said, "Well, I'm good friends with the director of Central Intelligence." I said, "Oh, that's a start!" He said, "Would you be willing to put together some information for me to share with him?" I said, Sure, and put together a dossier of cases and information and what have you, and it was given to the CIA director, James Woolsey. A couple of months passed and we continued to plan working this whole issue into the Executive Branch. We began to brief the President, we began to brief other people, and had concluded that we needed to do a lot of education on this issue with government officials because we couldn't assume that they knew or didn't know anything about it. Ultimately what happened is I get a FedEx back from this man who was good friends with CIA Director Woolsey, that says (I'm paraphrasing here), but essentially it says, "Woolsey can not find anything on this subject through channels, and he wants you to come to Washington to meet with him and brief him on the matter." Now, c'mon, this is '93. I'm working as an ER doc. Yes, I'm ...
