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.

' 4. The concentration of the technological advances related to the reverse-engineering of
Extraterrestrial technology into the hands of a small covert operation constitutes a threat to the
national security, to world security and to the future of the earth. These Extraterrestrial
technologies, which have been the object of covert research and development for over 45 years,
are potentially of great benefit to humanity if used wisely for peaceful purposes, but are of
immense danger when concentrated into a small covert operation which is unresponsive to the
pubic or the legal and constitutional chain of command. The threat this poses to the US and
world security is great, and the longer this situation continues, the greater the concentration of
advanced technological power in the hands of a relative few. The secret control of such powerful
technologies is inherently a threat to freedom, democracy and to our nation and the world. Its
utilization for covert agendas outside constitutional control represents a grave danger to our
country and must be restrained and reversed.
5. Importantly, secrecy and covert operatives per se constitute a real threat to the national
security, since national security in a constitutional democracy can only be legitimately related to
freedom and democratic government. Only in very rare and well-justified circumstances can
extreme secrecy and covert operations exist, since by nature freedom and democracy cannot co-
exist with unrestrained secrecy and secret power. The profound implications of the detection of
Extraterrestrial civilizations cannot be allowed to be the exclusive domain of covert operations
which are unrelated to public discourse and consultation. To do so is to undermine the US
Constitution, democracy and freedom, and this constitutes a serious threat to the national security.
6. Finally, exclusive covert control of this matter has resulted and continues to result in the loss
of opportunity for the world to come to terms with the Extraterrestrial presence in a peaceful and
mutually beneficial fashion. This means that the people of the world, the United Nations and
other international and national institutions are deprived of the opportunity to deal rationally with
this issue. National and world security are therefore negatively impacted by the loss of
opportunities in the following areas:
> The Environment, which is seriously at risk for large scale collapse over the next I 00
years, would be profoundly improved if extraterrestrial technologies could be peacefully
deployed. So-called zero point or free energy systems, which are non-polluting, would permit a
sustainable technological civilization to exist on earth and would transform the earth
environmentally and economically. Establishing peaceful and mutually beneficial relations with
extraterrestrial civilizations would eventually permit us to understand and apply such
technologies.
>World unity and peace will be enhanced by the global realization that we are not alone
in the universe. The acknowledgement of this fact will enhance the awareness that we are really
one people living on the shared homeland of earth, and many of the conflicts currently afflicting
the earth will be seen in a new perspective. This can be achieved without either deifying or
demonizing the extraterrestrial presence, but rather placing it in a fair, scientific and neutral light.
Eventually, world peace and a significant enhancement in the current geopolitical situation may
result from the disclosure that we are not alone. An international infrastructure, and institutions
capable of dealing peacefully with relations with extraterrestrial civilizations would, of necessity,
evolve, and this in turn would strengthen world unity and cooperation.
