I can't disagree, but at what point can sworn testimonies be allowed? 100, 200, 500? What about their 'respectability'? To dismiss such a mountain of evidence is unwise, I feel.
There are also hundreds of government documents on his website, discussing various et issues.
Most of the testimonies talk about how there is a systemic coverup going on. What if they can provide proof, but due to high classification, it can't be provided, except to Congress? This was ultimately what the disclosure project was about in 2001. Most of the testimonies attest to that fact.
What specifically is unwise? I don't see any negative consequences of being skeptical.
And the notion of some grand government conspiracy is just ludicrous on the face of it. No secret could be kept that long by so many people without some more reliable evidence leaking out.
Appeals to authority in terms of the respectability of various witnesses are meaningless. A more plausible explanation is that they simply misinterpreted what they experienced, possibly primed by the ubiquity of aliens and spacecraft in popular fiction going back almost a century. Look how many people have been wrongfully convicted of crimes based on sincere but faulty eyewitness testimony.
Skepticism is all well and good, but it can go too far if it's just a blanket denial. Dr Greer himself states that he's skeptical of 95% of what he's seen, but still states:
"we have 3500 cases where ET vehicles have landed and have left physical traces. We have 4000 cases where they have been tracked on radar and seen by pilots" ~ Unacknowledged doco.

If you watch 'Unacknowledged' you will see:
- multiple US Presidents hint at, or directly acknowledge their existence.
- Men who've walked on the moon, testifying.
- Top US government officials, air force pilots, etc, etc who've actually interacted with them, and and seen them stored in bases in the US.
- There was even a British Lord in there.
- Various government records (also available online).

Yes it is, but doesn't mean it isn't happening. Apparently $100M dollars a day is spent on US military. $25B is unaccounted for each year. (The actual numbers may be out of date, but the scale of them is correct, from memory).
> No secret could be kept that long by so many people without some more reliable evidence leaking out.
This statement is directly addressed in 'Unacknowledged'
