Site that posts debunking of his movie Thrive

http://thrivedebunked.wordpress.com/tag/steven-greer/

Some of the stuff that he believes

-the US Govt has genetically created reptilians and greys as working androids and uses them to pilot UFOs and abduct US citizens in a grand psy-ops program;
-most alien abductions are US gov't operations;
-world governments are close to organizing a landing of extraterrestrials for full public disclosure of alien life;
-many UFOs are US military craft reverse engineered from actual UFOs;
-UFOs can be "vectored in" by groups of ordinary people with flashlights out in the country and people can remote view the UFO occupants and engage in mental telepathic communication with them;
-Dr. Greer was also a meditation teacher and Sanskrit instructor before he became a doctor.

I personally believe there is plenty of life out there, I just do not believe they are spending light years of time to make it to our crap hole planet just to fly around a bit and then piss off.

I put this in the same catogary as the belief that the earth was the center of the universe or just created for us by some white haired old dude called God.

Q&A: Retired McGill University professor convinced ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ that aliens exist

Quote:
Q. You write about cases of humans believing they were abducted. I believe your press release refers to a “catch and release” program. Do you have physical evidence to support that?
A. I don’t personally have physical evidence to support that. What I say in the book is that the evidence of the extra-terrestrial nature of some of what UFO phenomenon is reported is in my opinion established beyond a reasonable doubt.

Q. Give me an example of some of that evidence.
A. There is an entire chapter on six UFO abduction cases. Each of them has what you might call in common a touchstone. Every one of the people involved saw a close up of a UFO. Everyone of the people had missing time they could not account for, a period of an hour or more, maybe even two or three hours. After the initial sighting, they ended up driving down a road not knowing how they got there. In several other cases, people saw the UFO as well. Some of these people wound up with scars they could not explain.
Quote:
Q. Are we talking about physical evidence?
A. Now anybody can take a photograph from the Internet, jazz things up in Photoshop. So a photograph is worthless as evidence in and of itself. But when you get multiple photographs, or photographs taken by gun cameras on a fighter plane chasing UFOs — of which there are several examples — or radar plots taken during a UFO chase. You’ll find there is a tremendous amount of corroborative evidence.

Q. Just because we don’t always know what’s seen on these types of tapes doesn’t mean that’s proof that it’s extraterrestrial.
A. No, but what else is it? What you have to do is you have to eliminate the other probable causes … and what you begin to build up is a collection of evidence that stands the sniping of people who say it can’t be therefore it isn’t.

Rogan had this guy on for an almost 3 hour podcast a couple of weeks ago. He starts out with a bit of credibility and as the show goes on he shows himself to be a complete whackjob. You could tell that he doesn't even believe what he says he believes.

Re: "These untrained observers have been aided by the availability of inexpensive video cameras, yet despite the enormous increase in volume of such cameras, there has been a drop in the number of UFO observations."

I wonder how much that has to do with the masses of people who now have their eyes glued to their smart phones/computers... ie: no ones paying attention.

The same way we are debunking a lot of religious crap, I can't wait till this is put to bed.

There may be aliens, in fact I'm pretty sure there are, but they have not made contact with us.

The vast 95% of reports are just people mistaking natural phenomenon, common human crafts, or worse, drunk hillbillies thinking they see something.

The 4% where the person isn't a complete tool is a honest to god mistake on something like a meteorite, or less common occurrence.

And the 1% that is truly interesting have been largely declassified as human made craft that were experimental at the time. Shoot, there are videos you can look up of human made flying saucers in a joint US/Canada program from Winnipeg in the 60's.

It became a cultural phenomenon like angels that just fed on the culture of the time. That's why it's dying out now.

Lots of True Believers (tm) I'm sure, but lots of people taking advantage as well I bet.

Oh, and besides the UFO craft examples, the close encounter cases have been largely explained away as sleep paralysis (creepy, I can tell you first hand, in earlier days they were described as visits by angels and demons) and other various mental occurrences or disorders. And of course A LOT of people just looking for attention or trying to make money.

ET has NOT visited us. I know it would be cool, and it would include a bit of wonder for our world, but so would the Loch Ness Monster and Santa.

Oh, and God...

All these believers sound as lame as people finding signs of god in the crackers.

I believe that there is other life out there. I have trouble believing they would travel like 90 million light years to jam objects up our a$$es

Thanked for the respectful nature in which you used the trademarked phrase "True Believers"

Blog summaries of the Hearing:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_3200580.html

Citizen hearing on UFOs producing lots of Mulders, no Scullys so far
http://doubtfulnews.com/2013/05/citi...cullys-so-far/

Six former members of Congress, who were paid $20,000 each, plus expenses, heard testimony in a setting designed to resemble a Capitol Hill hearing room.
