Early life

Greer was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1955. He claims to have seen an unidentified flying object at close range when he was about eight years old, which inspired his interest in ufology.[1][2]

Greer was trained as a Transcendental Meditation teacher and served as director of a meditation organization.[1][3] He received a B.S. degree in biology from Appalachian State University in 1982[4] and an M.D. degree from the James H. Quillen College of Medicine of East Tennessee State University in 1987.[5] He attended MAHEC University of North Carolina where he completed his internship in 1988 and received his Virginia medical license in 1989.[5] That year, he became a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society.[6][7][8]

Career

Greer founded the Center for the Study of Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (CSETI) in 1990 to create a diplomatic and research-based initiative to contact extraterrestrial civilizations.[2][9][10] The official statements regarding its intentions also included a new category of extraterrestrial encounters, namely CE-5 or 'close encounters of the fifth kind'. This was defined by Greer as human initiated contact and/or communication with extraterrestrial life.[10] Since its inception, the organisation has spent anywhere between $3.5 million and $5 million to achieve its goals.[11]

The organisation claims to have over 3,000 'confirmed' reports of UFO sightings by pilots, and over 4,000 proofs of what they describe as 'landing traces'.[9] This refers to incidents where UFOs have supposedly left behind trace evidence, such as electromagnetic readings, after landing on Earth.[9] The organisation utilizes 'Rapid Mobilisation Investigative Teams' with the aim of arriving at landing sites as quickly as possible. CSETI has defined a protocol for human initiated contact to UFOs using consciousness.[12][3]

In 1993, he founded the Disclosure Project, a research project whose goal is to disclose to the public the government's alleged knowledge of UFOs, extraterrestrial intelligence, and advanced energy and propulsion systems.[13][14][15][16] The Disclosure Project was founded in an effort to grant amnesty to government whistle-blowers willing to violate their security oaths by sharing insider knowledge about UFOs.[17] Greer says he gave a briefing to CIA director James Woolsey at a dinner party, although Woolsey has stated that he listened politely.[18][19]

In October 1994, Greer appeared in Larry King's TV special The UFO Coverup?[20] In 1995, Greer worked as a physician at the Department of Emergency Medicine at Caldwell Memorial Hospital,[3][21] where he was chairman.[1]

In 1997, Greer, along with other members of CSETI, including Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell, made a presentation at a background briefing for members of Congress.[22] In 1998, Greer gave up his career as an emergency room physician in favor of the Disclosure Project.[23][24]

In May 2001, Greer held a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that featured 20 retired Air Force, Federal Aviation Administration and intelligence officers.[2][25][26][27][28][29]

Greer authored "Unacknowledged: An Exposé of the World's Greatest Secret” in 2017. The book is also the subject of a 2017 Documentary film, titled "Unacknowledged," directed by Michael Mazzola.

Sirius

In 2013, Greer co-produced Sirius, a documentary detailing his work and hypotheses regarding extraterrestrial life, government cover-ups and close encounters of the fifth kind.[30] The film was directed by Amardeep Kaleka and narrated by Thomas Jane, and covers Greer's 2006 book Hidden Truth, Forbidden Knowledge. The movie premiered on April 22, 2013, in Los Angeles, California, and features interviews from former government and military officials.[31]

Sirius depicts a six-inch human skeleton known as the Atacama skeleton, and features images and a DNA test of the skeleton.[32][33] Genetic evidence showed that it was human, with genetic markers found in "indigenous women from the Chilean region of South America". The director of the center that did the analysis said, "It's an interesting medical mystery of an unfortunate human with a series of birth defects that currently [...] the genetics of which are not obvious."[34][35]

Other documentaries about Steven Greer's work

In 2017 Unacknowledged was produced and is distributed by Netflix. Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind: Contact has Begun was released April 2020. The documentary was directed and written by Michael Mazzola and stars Dr. Steven M. Greer.
