What is the Disclosure Project?

“The Disclosure Project is a private initiative founded by Dr. Steven Greer in 1993 that has presented hundreds of military, intelligence, and civilian witnesses claiming firsthand UFO experience. It is not affiliated with any U.S. government agency.”

The Disclosure Project is a private advocacy initiative founded by Dr. Steven M. Greer, an emergency-room physician, in 1993. The project's stated goal is to compel U.S. government acknowledgment of extraterrestrial visitation by collecting and presenting witness testimony from former military, intelligence, and civilian personnel. The most-cited Disclosure Project event was the 9 May 2001 National Press Club briefing in Washington, D.C., at which approximately 20 witnesses publicly stated they had firsthand knowledge of UFO programs. The project's claims are not corroborated by any U.S. government source; AARO's 2024 Historical Record Report did not find evidence supporting the broader narrative. The Disclosure Project is sometimes confused with the formal congressional disclosure efforts of 2022-2024 (Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Representative Tim Burchett); these are independent and unaffiliated.
