The Intersection of UFO Disclosure Efforts and Political Dynamics in the Trump Administration

As of February 2025, Greer’s Disclosure Project continues to push for transparency regarding extraterrestrial intelligence and suppressed energy technologies

Feb 19, 2025

Part One. Yesterday on my weekly pilgrimage hike up MaunaLoa I listened to Dr Greer’s 2003 Disclosure hearings and the good guy / bad guy shenanigans. The bad guy - beyond black ops top secret - fear porn trafficking not only narcotics, but abducted humans, and vs the free energy technologies and interstellar travel of the do no harm evolved races.

So, I tested Perplexity’s newly released deep search to see if there was any chance that the good guys tech might be released under the new Trump administration. Well, no surprise, it does not look like it will happen, unless it does of course.

In Part Two we’ll take a look at Perplexity’s take on Greer’s top list of consistently identified defense contractors, covert government factions, and intelligence agencies as primary obstacles to UFO transparency.

In Parts Three and Four is a dive into Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) lawsuit targeting corporations and individuals involved in suppressing UFO-related technologies.

Recent developments in UFO disclosure efforts led by Dr. Steven Greer and their intersection with political figures such as former President Donald Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, and Elon Musk reveal a complex landscape of advocacy, skepticism, and government restructuring. As of February 2025, Greer’s Disclosure Project continues to push for transparency regarding extraterrestrial intelligence and suppressed energy technologies, while key Trump administration figures grapple with competing narratives and institutional reforms.

Dr. Steven Greer’s Disclosure Project: Recent Advocacy and Whistleblower Momentum

Persistent Calls for Transparency

Dr. Steven Greer, founder of the Disclosure Project and the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI), has intensified efforts to declassify information about UFOs and advanced energy systems13. In late 2024 and early 2025, Greer emphasized the need for congressional subpoena power to compel testimony from high-value whistleblowers, whom he claims possess firsthand knowledge of reverse-engineered extraterrestrial technology and illegal secrecy12. His team has compiled over 30 years of research into the Disclosure Project Intelligence Archive (DPI Archive), which includes testimonies from 755 military, government, and corporate insiders224.

Allegations of a Coordinated Cover-Up

Greer alleges that a “shadow government” operating outside congressional oversight has suppressed energy technologies derived from UFO propulsion systems, which could replace fossil fuels and revolutionize global energy infrastructure322. He warns that disinformation campaigns, including staged “alien threat” narratives, aim to justify militarized responses to non-human intelligence22 25. In a February 2025 interview, Greer stated that Trump administration officials have privately expressed interest in executive actions to declassify UFO-related programs, though public denials from figures like Elon Musk complicate these efforts22.

Trump Administration Dynamics: Project 2025, Tulsi Gabbard, and the DOGE

Project 2025 and Its Overlap with Disclosure Agendas

The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, a conservative policy blueprint for a potential Trump second term, has drawn scrutiny for its proposals to centralize executive power and dismantle federal agencies6 8. While Trump publicly distanced himself from the project in 2024, over 140 former Trump officials contributed to its development, including proposals to restructure intelligence agencies6 7. Greer has criticized Project 2025’s lack of UFO disclosure provisions, arguing that its focus on deregulation and energy dominance ignores transformative technologies hidden within classified programs8 22.

Tulsi Gabbard’s Controversial Confirmation as Director of National Intelligence

Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence (DNI), faced bipartisan criticism during her January 2025 confirmation hearing over her reversal on surveillance policies and past sympathy for Edward Snowden1417. While Gabbard pledged to depoliticize intelligence agencies, her stance on Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)—which she previously opposed but now supports—raised concerns about potential abuses of surveillance programs14 15. Greer’s allies have speculated that Gabbard’s role could either advance disclosure or perpetuate secrecy, depending on her willingness to confront entrenched bureaucratic interests18 22.

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Anti-Disclosure Stance

Elon Musk, appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has dismissed claims of extraterrestrial visitation, asserting that his Starlink satellites would have detected alien activity19 22. Under Musk, the DOGE has prioritized deregulation and privatization of federal functions, including the transfer of sensitive data to private servers—a move criticized as a “power grab” by Democrats20 21. Musk’s skepticism contrasts sharply with Greer’s advocacy, highlighting a rift between disclosure activists and administration figures favoring technological monopolies19 22.

Whistleblower Revelations and the Battle for Credibility

New Whistleblower Testimonies

In February 2025, Greer announced that multiple whistleblowers with ties to defense contractors like Raytheon are prepared to testify about U.S. possession of “man-made UFOs” built using reverse-engineered alien technology22. These claims align with earlier accounts from military personnel, such as former Marine Michael Herrera, who described encounters with advanced aircraft during covert operations23. However, the absence of physical evidence continues to fuel skepticism, with critics noting that Greer’s presentations rely heavily on digital renderings rather than verifiable data23 25.

The Role of Media and Political Narratives

Mainstream outlets like CNN and PBS have framed UFO disclosure as a partisan issue, with Democrats linking Project 2025 to potential abuses of power and Republicans dismissing such claims as fearmongering6 11. Meanwhile, far-right commentators like Alex Jones have amplified theories that recent drone sightings in New Jersey are part of a government “psyop” to stage a fake alien invasion25. Greer has accused both major parties of avoiding substantive debate on UFOs, instead perpetuating a “circus of distraction” while covert programs remain unchecked13.

Implications for Energy Policy and Global Security

The Promise of Zero-Point Energy

Greer’s Disclosure Project asserts that suppressed energy technologies could eliminate reliance on fossil fuels, citing patents filed by inventors like Nikola Tesla and modern breakthroughs allegedly buried by corporate interests324. In 2024, Greer’s team partnered with AI researchers to analyze historical data on UFO propulsion, aiming to accelerate public adoption of these systems18. However, Musk’s DOGE has prioritized nuclear and solar energy over speculative technologies, reflecting a broader administration focus on economic competitiveness rather than disruptive innovation19 21.

National Security Concerns

The Pentagon’s 2024 report denying evidence of extraterrestrial activity has done little to quell speculation, particularly as U.S. adversaries like China and Russia invest heavily in hypersonic and AI-driven weapons22 23. Greer warns that militarizing UFO technology risks triggering global conflict, while advocates within the intelligence community argue that disclosure could strengthen alliances through shared scientific advancements18 22.

Conclusion: A Crossroads for Disclosure and Governance

The interplay between Dr. Steven Greer’s disclosure efforts and the Trump administration’s policy agenda underscores a pivotal moment for UFO transparency. While Greer’s whistleblowers and archival research provide compelling narratives, the lack of concrete evidence and political polarization hinder consensus. The administration’s reliance on figures like Musk and Gabbard—who embody conflicting priorities of efficiency and secrecy—suggests that meaningful disclosure will require unprecedented collaboration between activists, legislators, and the scientific community. As debates over Project 2025 and DOGE reforms intensify, the question remains: Will 2025 be the year humanity confronts its cosmic neighbors, or will institutional inertia prevail?
