Steven Greer says Trump’s UFO disclosure is a “slow roll,” hiding the biggest secrets

- Steven Greer claims the Trump administration is releasing only low-impact UFO files while withholding more significant evidence.
- Advanced aerospace programs, rather than extraterrestrials, could explain many famous sightings, although some objects are still described as nonhuman.
- Alleged UFO programs are said to operate outside normal government oversight, limiting what even senior officials can access.
- Additional UFO disclosures are expected to be released over the remainder of Trump's presidency, rather than in one major reveal.

Independent UFOlogist and researcher Steven Greer has spoken of the US government's sluggish pace in releasing its 4 instalments of evidence so far, dubbing it a deliberate “slow-roll.”
The former physician said in an interview with the British outlet Daily Mail that so far, President Donald Trump’s administration has released "fairly much inconsequential material," while more significant evidence remains on the sidelines.
Implying that the public might not be ready for an onslaught of material, Greer mentioned the government has coordinated an “acculturation process,” but warned that “I think it’s eroding trust in government.”
The comments come amid growing frustration in the UFO community, especially when purists argue that any amount of noise on either side won’t help (and only science will).
Greer, who founded the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI) in 1990, said his organization has 36 years of whistleblower testimonies, photos, videos, and other evidence, which is “vastly more consequential" than the official releases so far.
President Trump ordered Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to declassify government records related to UFOs and alleged extraterrestrial activity on May 8th.
What else did Greer say?
Speaking to theThe Daily Mail, Greer called for a more elaborate process of UFO disclosure, saying, "If it's handled properly, it would start a whole new chapter in human civilization."
The situation is rather nuanced. One of Greer's biggest claims is that many famous UFO sightings are not alien craft at all. He argues the US secretly mastered advanced electro-gravitic propulsion decades ago, technology often described publicly as "anti-gravity."
Greer is specific about where these sightings have happened.
“The majority of the UFOs are coming from Lockheed Skunk Works, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon,” he told the Daily Mail. The sites he mentioned are all private aerospace and defense manufacturers, feeding into the idea that these corporations are the “keepers” of recovered extraterrestrial technology.
Greer explained that from the 1950’s until now, there have been advances in “anti-gravity” advanced aircraft, which potentially could be a feat of reverse-engineering.
And despite all of this engineering and disclosure being shrouded in ambiguity, Greer still asserts that – “there are ones that are nonhuman, no question.”
Regarding the human-made efforts, however, Greer believes they “have been used in clandestine and many criminal enterprises.”
These kinds of conspiracy theories often stir up friction in the community of whistleblowers and scientists alike, as they often come to loggerheads regarding credible vs incredible evidence
The situation is a “5-alarm fire”
One of the biggest misconceptions of the UFO disclosure could well be that once appointed, a new president or government official is in the loop on UFO proceedings.
Greer argues that even presidents and cabinet officials may not know the full extent of alleged UFO programs.
He says the public wrongly assumes senior leaders, especially presidents, automatically have access to every classified project, noting “that is not how this has been operating" and elaborating that “they're all very, very new to the subject.”
Greer calls it “a 5-alarm fire,” lamenting the “very questionable characters” that the White House has out on its advisory council, namely the appointment of former Pentagon UFO investigator Lue Elizondo to the National Security Council, who has a reputation for being outspoken and often making outlandish claims.
Greer claims CSETI is encouraging people working in classified aerospace programs to "defect with this positive proof" if they possess evidence, which would, in effect, be a first for whistleblowers within corporations.
He also says members of congressional oversight committees privately believe additional disclosures are coming.
And in terms of the timeline, it seems Greer sees this continuing until the end of Trump’s term, saying of the government: "I think more will be coming... they're trying to do a slow roll, stretching out towards the end of the Trump administration."
Recent tranches of evidence have included Apollo mission imagery, FBI and CIA reports, and testimony from federal officers describing unexplained aerial phenomena.
There were even strong rumors last week of UFOs being lured by the US government, from the director of nonprofit organization The Disclosure Foundation, Jordan Flowers.
