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.

RE: Planned Disclosure on the UFO/Extraterrestrial Subject and National Security Oaths
The CSETI (Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Project Starlight initiative has
now identified several dozen former and current military, intelligence and defense contractor
related wimesses to UFO/ETI events and projects. As set out in a number of documents and
briefings (see enclosures) it is our intention to have these important wimesses provide open,
public testimony on this matter in the very near future.
In the summer of 1995, we requested that the President take appropriate steps to allow these
wimesses to speak openly, without civil, military or other penalties. Since then, there has been
an exponential growth in the number of such witnesses who wish to come forward. Some of
them are elderly, and suffering from serious medical conditions. We feel that these patriotic and
courageous heros of our country - who very much wish to tell their fellow citizens the truth on
this matter- must not take this information to their graves. Therefore, we are asking from you a
clear determination regarding their freedom to speak openly on this subject.
Over the past three years, we have found that members of Congress, the Executive Branch,
military and intelligence leaders have not been briefed on this important matter, and that
operations related to the subject exist as 'unacknowledged' special access projects. Most
