Jacques Vallee on Stephen Greer (excerpts from Forbidden Science 4)

This document consists of selected journal entries from scientist Jacques Vallee, spanning from December 1993 to August 1999, focusing on his observations and interactions regarding Dr. Stephen Greer and his associates. Vallee portrays Greer as a controversial figure within the ufology community, noting his background as an emergency room physician and his leadership of the C-SETI group. The journals document various encounters and discussions involving figures such as Tracy Tormé, Marie Galbraith (referred to as 'Bootsie'), John Petersen, and Scott Jones. Vallee expresses skepticism regarding Greer's claims of direct extraterrestrial communication and his political activities, including his involvement with the Human Potential Foundation and Project Starlight. The entries detail Vallee's concerns about the 'circus' atmosphere surrounding UFO meetings and the influence of Greer's ideology on other figures, including astronaut Edgar Mitchell. The text also touches upon broader themes within the field, such as the search for 'The Big Disclosure,' the role of the Human Potential Foundation, and the perceived political agendas of those involved in the disclosure movement. Vallee records conversations with colleagues like Bob Bigelow and Dick Haines, reflecting on the state of UFO research and the potential for cult-like tendencies within the community. The document concludes with later entries from 1997-1999, where Vallee notes Greer's claims of being targeted by government cover-up agents and the growing concern among peers that Greer's movement is trending toward a form of cultism.
