This file from the Agency Liaison records in the Clinton Presidential Records contains a 1997 report by Steven M. Greer of CSETI on its Washington briefings of April 7 to 11, 1997. The report describes a closed briefing that nearly 30 congressional offices attended, a briefing at the Pentagon and a background briefing for the media. It calls for open congressional hearings with 107 identified government witnesses. The file also includes Mark McCandlish's 1989 cutaway drawing of an "Alien Reproduction Vehicle."

FREQUENCY, SOLID-STATE POWER DISTRIBUTION MECHANISM FOR SHUNTING ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO THE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITOR SECTIONS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CRAFT. IT IS BELIEVED THAT WITHIN THE OUTER SHEATH OF THE CENTRAL COLUMN THERE ARE NUMEROUS COILS THAT MAY GATHER ENERGY FROM AN ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE WITHIN THE CENTRAL CORE THROUGH INDUCTION AND WHICH FUNCTION AS THE PRIMARY WINDINGS OF A TESLA COIL WHICH STEPS UP THE VOLTAGE FROM THE "AMPLIFIER SECTION". E. CONTROLS ON THE PILOT SEAT ARE A HIGH-VOLTAGE POTENTIOMETER ON THE RIGHT AND DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MECHANISM ON THE LEFT. THE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DEVICE IS A METALLIC SPHERE THAT IS SUSPENDED ON A CURVED METAL "ARM" WITH A METALLIC "BOWL", SLIGHTLY LARGER IN DIAMETER, MAGNETICALLY HELD TO ITS BOTTOM. THE WITNESS AT NORTON AFB IN 1988, NOTED THAT WHILE IN THE "HOVER" MODE, COMPLETELY UNMANNED, THIS CONTROL DEVICE WAS INFLUENCED BY THE EARTH'S GRAVITY TO THE EXTENT THAT WHENEVER THE CRAFT BEGAN LISTING IN A PARTICULAR DIRECTION, THE "BOWL" WOULD SWING IN THE SAME DIRECTION, AND CORRECT THE ATTITUDE OF THE CRAFT. THE MOVEMENTS OF THE CRAFT WHOVERING, WERE DESCRIBED AS SIMILAR TO THE LTO AND FRO OF A LARGE SHIP AT HARBOR, AS THE CRAFT WERE QUITE LITERALLY FLOATING ON A "SE F. EACH SEAT IS EQUIPPED WITH A SUPPLEMENTARY OXYGEN SUPPLY A RETRACTIBLE FOOT REST TRAY AND LEG RESTRAINTS. G. THE CREW COMPARTMENT HATCH IS SIMILAR IN APPEARANCE TO A SUBMARINE DOOR, WITH SIX RAISED BRACES RADIATING FROM THE CENTER WHERE THE LATCH/LOCK MECHANISM IS A MANUALLY ROTATED WHEEL, WITH "DEAD-BOLT" RODS THAT EXTEND INTO THE METAL DOOR FRAME AND SEAL. H. THE "SYNTHETIC VISION SYSTEM" USES CLOSED-CIRCUIT, CCD CAMERAS, ONE ON TOP, WITH SIX OTHERS AROUND THE UPPER CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE CREW COMPARTMENT SPHERE. EACH IS COVERED BY A GLASS OR PLEXIGLASS BUBBLE ABOUT TWELVE TO FOURTEEN INCHES IN DIAMETER. CAMERAS ARE PAIRED OFF TO PRODUCE A 3-D IMAGE THAT IS PROJECTED INSIDE THE VISOR OF THE PILOT AND THE OTHER CREW MEMBERS, SLEWING TO MATCH THE HEAD AND EYE MOVEMENTS OF THE SPECIFIC USER.
