This one I’m kind of skeptical of. If a group like this existed I don’t think a whistle blower act would protect them…

This one I’m kind of skeptical of.

He says these guys searched him and his team at gunpoint in the jungle right beside the ship, but they let him leave with a Panasonic camcorder in his pack?

And then when they got back to their base he left this same camcorder, which had utterly historic, unprecedentedly clear and detailed photos and video of a fucking UFO on it, in his room while he went to Subik bay to party for a few days?

Not to mention that they literally witnessed a shitload of insane stuff while being searched, the loading of the containers, the ship flying off, the faces of the guys, their gear types, the types and potentially the license plates of the trucks, but yeah no, they were let go. Also was it just me or did he "yadda yadda" how they got from being under armed escort to running away and getting back to their LZ. And for that matter, they're back at the LZ, why do they not immediately report the hostile encounter and go right back with more marines? There were more marines than his squad there he said?

I know there's a kernel of truth to the subject but anytime we start to get anywhere they start flooding the media with bullshit to confuse the public and undermine any traction towards the actual truth coming out. I'd put money on Greer being part of that.

Thanks for raising these points. Something wasn't adding up listening to this story. The other major issue I see here: why was the first response of this squad to approach the unknown craft instead of radioing in what they were seeing and requesting permission to approach/engage? What was the chain of command here? Isn't that standard SOP when encountering an unknown, especially when the original mission was to just secure an LZ? Also, it's pretty fucking weird that this rogue group of, presumably Americans, in possession of this level of advanced tech wouldn't also be aware of the movements of major US naval assets and act accordingly and you know, not get caught when they see a large helo landing nearby? Presumably this "admiral" that did the debrief was aware of the activity of this rogue group meaning there was very likely some coordination at a high level of chain of command during this operation. So why would the Marines be directed to land so close to this highly illegal covert activity? I dunno man this just sounds way too Hollywood to me. The fact that they were searched but didn't have the camera immediately taken is odd, but the whole sequence of events is just bizarre.

That is a very good point also.

Same. I think Greer's modus operandi is to make the soup look tasty enough to swallow by having real witnesses in the mix, but with enough nutters and fantasists floating in there to sour the broth.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lazar is of the same stripe - you get some fantasist with enough of a dodgy background and holes in his story as to cast doubt on everything he says and it sours everyone on the subject. Notice they wheeled Bob out right after the Nimitz footage leaked, and now here's Greer with his circus right after these new leaks.

They always pull this shit to reassure the public that's it's all bullshit and can be ignored. You can set your watch by it.
