Disclosure Project Press Conference
On May 9, 2001, Dr. Steven M. Greer organized a landmark press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. as part of his Disclosure Project. Over 20 military personnel, government officials, and intelligence community witnesses presented testimony claiming direct knowledge of UAP encounters and classified retrieval programs. The witnesses urged the U.S. Congress to hold public hearings and to declassify information about unidentified aerial phenomena. Founded in 1993, the Disclosure Project had collected sworn statements from more than 400 individuals with military and intelligence backgrounds. The event received extensive media coverage and became a defining moment in the modern UAP disclosure movement, though no congressional action followed at the time.
