'''Steven M. Greer''' ([[June 28]], [[1955]]) is an American [[physician]], [[ufology|UFO enthusiast]] and researcher, and [[conspiracy theorist]]. Greer is the founder of the [[The Disclosure Project|Disclosure Project]], [http://www.theorionproject.org The Orion Project], and the Advanced Energy Research Organization (AERO) <ref>[http://www.aero2012.com/en/about.html Advanced Energy Research Organization]</ref>. The latter aims to reproduce claimed [[free energy]] devices Greer says were produced in [[free energy suppression|secret government projects]] by a branch of the [[Military Industrial Complex]] or MIC.
Greer's latest endeavor is the formation of The Orion Project (launched in March 2008), a non-profit, 501-C3 entity. The project's stated mission is to inform, educate, and help supply the people of earth with sustainable, non-polluting power.<ref>http://www.theorionproject.org/en/vision.html</ref> The Orion Project claims to be in the process of identifying and supporting the development of new, clean energy technologies<ref>http://www.aero2012.com/en/movingbeyond_laviolette.mhtml</ref>.
Greer has appeared on shows such as [[Larry King Live]],<ref>{{cite web| last =Mendoza| first =Manuel| title =Alien Obsession Hits Even Larry King| publisher =The Wichita Eagle| date= October 10, 1994| url =http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=WE&s_site=kansas&p_multi=WE&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EADB63AF20E2DA6&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM

Greer hosts a regularly scheduled radio program (Conversations with Dr. Steven Greer) on the [[World Puja]] internet radio network, covering topics such as the development of non-fossil-fuel technologies, meditation and consciousness studies, and the evidence and implications of extraterrestrial contact.<ref>http://www.worldpuja.org/conversations.php</ref>
Greer is also a claimed [[contactee]], and coined the term "[[Close encounter#Fifth kind|close encounter of the fifth kind]]" (a.k.a. CE5) to describe '''human initiated''' contact with extraterrestrials.<ref>{{cite web| last =McCarthy| first =Paul| title =Close encounters of the fifth kind.

Greer is frequently invited to give guest presentations and lectures related to the ET/UFO Disclosure effort and other issues, and has shared the podium with notable individuals such as former Canadian Defence Minister Hon. [[Paul Hellyer]]<ref>http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8964281348675417592&hl=en</ref>, [[Nick Cook]], [[Brian O'Leary]]<ref>http://www.newenergymovement.org/speakers.aspx</ref>, and others.

Greer's interest in [[ufology]] dates to childhood, when he claims he saw a 'disc-shaped craft'. In 1993, Greer founded the [[Disclosure Project]], which claims a wide-ranging [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy]] by the governments of the United States and other nations to cover up the visits by extraterrestrial vehicles and continued monitoring by these [[extraterrestrial]] beings, and to suppress unspecified extraterrestrial technologies, including [[free energy]] (see [[free energy suppression]]).
Greer, with the assistance of other claimed 'contactees', who have been selected for previous [[military]] or [[civil service|government]] employment, has given numerous speeches and interviews at [[ufology]] conferences and other venues, attempting to muster support for 'free and open' [[Congressional hearing]]s on UFOs, 'extraterrestrial visitation', and other aspects of the alleged conspiracy. The Disclosure Project has obtained support from various individuals within the so called 'covert programs' who support Greer's views.
== The Orion Project ==
The Orion Project is a project that is part of the [[free energy suppression]] movement and claims to be to developing non-polluting and cheap energy generators.[http://www.theorionproject.org/en/vision.html]
