In this excerpt from an interview with New Paradigm Films, Dr. Steven Greer explains why the UFO presence has been hidden from the public:
1. The Inertia of the Secrecy
"Once you start something secret and you've made so many lies, and you've killed so many people, and threatened so many people, and you've lied to congress, and you've lied to presidents, how do you bring this out?"
2. Religious Interests
"The other is that there were orthodox religious interests that did not know what to make of this..."
3. New Technologies
"The biggest became the technological and scientific end of this...these objects are extracting energy from the fabric of space...they realized this was the end of oil. It's the end of the need for coal. It's the end of the internal combustion engine. It's the end of transmission lines for electricity....
"What happens when every village in India or sub-Saharan Africa can have a device that looks like a generator and it's extracting energy from this quantum flux field...this would be a wonderful thing, it would be the end of poverty...but it would also be the end of the economic hegemony where Europe and America dominate the whole global economy... it's about power. Who has the power."
