This is a CSETI Project Starlight comprehensive briefing document, prepared by Steven M. Greer, M.D., director of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, and dated April 1997. It contains CSETI position papers arguing that the US government secretly holds extraterrestrial craft and that covert management of the subject threatens national security, along with letters to President Clinton seeking disclosure. It also includes government records, among them an FAA Charlotte Tower re-recording of a December 1977 police helicopter sighting.

the neutralization of ICBM facilities and to containing military oriented space exploration
should be understood in light of their concern over a known history of human aggression which
has been coupled with the advent of weapons of mass destruction and space exploration. Indeed,
given the past history of human military assets focusing on and pursuing Extraterrestrial
Spacecraft, we believe the Extraterrestrials have responded with remarkable restraint.
Ironically, the threat to national security exists not with the Extraterrestrial presence, but the
current covert management of the subject. In the absence of Extraterrestrial hostility over 50
~ current secrecy cannot be justified on the basis of fear of Extraterrestrial aggression. A
disclosure related to the Extraterrestrial presence, if calmly and rationally presented, will not
cause public panic in the US or elsewhere. 1995 is not 1945, and world society has evolved to
the point where this information can be assimilated in a positive fashion.
In contrast, the covert and apparently extra-constitutional management of this matter is a real
threat to national and world security, and undermines constitutional freedom and democracy.
Unless it is terminated, this covert management will greatly harm US national security and the
chances of a lasting world peace.
It is our assessment that the current covert management of this issue involves the following
elements which are a direct, immediate and ongoing threat to the national security:
l . The continued denial of the Extraterrestrial presence creates a situation where a sudden,
undeniable, public Extraterrestrial event could induce panic, since proactive disclosure efforts
which could ameliorate public fears are non-existent. It is likely that such a public
Extraterrestrial event will transpire within the next 2-10 years or sooner. Therefore secrecy and
denial are a real threat to national and world security.
2. The current covert management of this issue appears to be operating independentJy and
outside of the constitutional chain of command. The group controlling these operations, which
involve reconnaissance, Extraterrestrial technology reverse-engineering, and space - based
targeting of ETS (among others) is non-responsive to congressional or Executive branch oversight
and control. This constitutes a real threat to the national security and to constitutional democracy
and freedom.
3. We have credible, first hand sources who insist that extraterrestrial spacecraft have been
targeted by human covert space weapons and on at least two occasions have been destroyed. If
true, the risks to world peace and security are real and imminent, and the continuation of these
covert activities constitute the gravest dangers to national and world security . Hostile actions
taken by human covert assets against Extraterrestrial assets constitute a grave and immediate
threat to the national security. A relatively small , covert entity, acting without consultation with
the United Nations, the Congress, the President of the United States or the public is engaging
in actions on behalf of all humans which endanger the earth and world peace. Unless controlled,
these actions could precipitate interplanetary conflict and a disaster for the world generally and
the United States specifically. This covert management must be terminated and control of this
issue returned to constitutional authority and to the public domain.
