The Disclosure Project gained significant public attention with its landmark event in May 2001 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Over 20 military, government, and corporate insiders provided firsthand accounts of encounters with UFOs and advanced aerospace phenomena. The witnesses, including former Air Force pilots, FAA officials, and NASA personnel, claimed knowledge of secret programs involving extraterrestrial technology and emphasized the urgent need for governmental disclosure.

Central to the project’s mission is the belief that suppressed technologies, derived from extraterrestrial sources, could eliminate dependence on fossil fuels and solve many global energy crises. The Disclosure Project also addresses national security concerns, alleging that secrecy surrounding UFOs has led to covert operations outside congressional oversight. While met with both acclaim and skepticism, the project has significantly influenced public discourse on UFOs and the need for transparency in government dealings with the unknown.
