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.

When and if inquiries are made, they are told nothing about the operations, nor is the existence
of any operation confirmed to them. In general the nature of this covert entity ensures that such
leaders do not even know to whom such inquiries should be addressed.
International cooperation exists to a wide - extent, though some witnesses state that certain
countries, particularly China, have aggressively pursued somewhat independent agendas.
'
Major bases of operations, apart from widely diversified private sites, include Edwards Air Force
Base in California, Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, particularly S4 and adjacent facilities, Los
Alamos New Mexico, Fort Huachuca Ariz.ona (Army Intelligence Headquarters), the Redstone
Arsenal in Alabama, and a relatively new, expanding underground facility accessible only by air
in a remote area of Utah, among others. Additional facilities and operations centers exist in a
number of other countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, and Russia. Numerous
agencies have deep cover, black, USAPS related units involved with these operations, including
the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the National Security Agency (NSA), the CIA, the
Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI),
Naval Intelligence, Army Intelligence, Air Force Intelligence, the FBI, and others. An even more
extensive list of private, civilian and corporate entities have significant involvement. The
majority of scientific, technical and advanced technology operations are centered in the civilian
industrial and research firms. Significant - and lethal • security is provided by private contractors.
The majority of personnel as well as the leadership of most if not all of these agencies and
private groups are uninvolved and unaware of these compartmentalized. unacknowledged
operations. For this reason, sweeping accusations related to any particular agency or corporate
entity are wholly unwarranted. 'Plausible deniability ' exists at many levels. Moreover,
specialization and compartmentalization allows a number of operations to exist without those
involved knowing that their task is related to the UFO/ET subject.
Both positive inducements to cooperate and penalties for violating secrecy are extraordinary.
A senior military source has related to us that at least 10,000 people have received SI million
or more each to ensure their cooperation, over the past few decades. Regarding penalti~. we
know of more than one credible case where individuals have had their families threatened should
they break the code of silence, and we have learned of two recent alleged 'suicides' at a private
contract industrial firm which occurred after the victims began to violate secrecy on a reverse-
engineering project related to ET technology.
Funding: A senior congressional investigator has privately related to us that 'black budget' funds
apparently are used for this and similar operations, which are USAPS. This 'black budget
involves conservatively $10 billion , and may exceed $80 billion per year. The amount
dedicated to the UFO/ET operation specifically is unknown at this time. Additionally, significant
funds are derived from overseas sources and private and institutional sources. Amounts deriving
from these activities are also unknown by us.
This is part of what we know at this time. Obviously, there are more questions than answers
here, and what is unknown exceeds what is known. Nevertheless, we have, I believe, made
