What Dr. Steven Greer Claims Is Behind the Drone and Orb Sightings

This article draws on our conversation with Steven Greer.

Steven Greer says the recent orb and drone reports are not random visitations or an unsolved public mystery, but a coordinated covert operation tied to rogue military and corporate programs. He frames the sightings as a mix of ordinary hardware, advanced craft, and a psychological campaign meant to shape what the public will accept next.

Right at the start, the hosts put the basic questions on the table: what are these objects, where are they from, how do they move, how do they disappear, what are they doing, and why are they here. Greer answers those questions with one broad claim: you are looking at a staged environment, not a clean mystery, and he says he has been warning for 30 years that something like this would happen (4:16).

What does Steven Greer say the drone and orb sightings really are?

Steven Greer says the recent drone and orb sightings are a blended operation in which some objects are conventional drones and others come from far more advanced secret programs. He does not describe the whole wave as one thing. He separates the visible craft into categories, then ties most of the public effect to a planned information operation aimed at the media and ordinary people.

“The psychological part is working, by the way.”

— David Spade (4:57)

That line from David Spade captures the reaction in the room, because Greer’s case depends on fear, confusion, and repetition doing part of the work. He says the public sees lights, movement, and unexplained behavior, then fills in the rest before anyone can sort out which objects are routine, which are classified, and which stories are being nudged along for effect.

His wording matters here. He is not talking about a single unexplained object over one town. He is describing a managed picture in which sightings, reporting, and public anxiety all reinforce each other. In his account, the point is not only what flies overhead. The point is what people are led to believe about it.

Who does Greer say is behind these drone sightings claims?

Greer says a network of senior intelligence and aerospace operatives tied to desert research, testing, and operations sits behind much of what people are seeing and hearing. He says he has known this group for 18-19 months, and he describes them as connected to hidden programs dealing with UFO and UAP activity (5:05).

He adds one specific structural claim: the main operative he is referring to has six other rogue black sites under that wider umbrella (5:29). That detail is central to how he explains scale. In his version, this is not one compartmented project with one chain of command. It is a dispersed system with multiple locations, layers of secrecy, and the ability to run operations outside normal public oversight.

Greer also says people are defecting from six black sites, which he presents as part of a growing break inside the secrecy system (42:30). The article title promises an answer about who is behind the sightings, and this is the answer he gives: not unknown visitors acting in the open, but clandestine human programs with access to advanced aerospace technology and protected facilities.

Why does Greer connect the sightings to a fake alien threat?

Greer connects the sightings to a staged alien-threat scenario because he says the current atmosphere matches a warning he has carried for decades from insiders and earlier witnesses. He points to Carol Rosin’s account that Wernher von Braun warned in 1974 about a manufactured extraterrestrial threat being used for power and control.

“What we’re going to do, we’re going to hoax an alien threat to consolidate sort of a totalitarian power around the world, because it’ll be so frightening to people.”

— Steven Greer (20:48)

He links that idea to another story from Washington. Greer says that in 1997 a man came to Washington after serving on an interagency committee and said events could be staged to simulate an alien attack (22:17). In his telling, that account fits the same pattern as the present wave of sightings: produce fear first, then use that fear to make a larger move seem necessary.

That is why he treats the media angle as more than background noise. If people are already primed to see every unusual light as a threat, then the next step needs less explanation. His argument is that the preparation matters as much as the machinery.

When does Greer think whistleblowers will come forward?

Greer says more insiders are close to stepping forward, and he ties that expectation to a narrow window rather than a vague future date. He says the operative he has been discussing is expected to come forward in the next 30 days or so with evidence that, in his account, includes non-human-intelligence craft, bodies and beings, man-made anti-gravity craft, and records of illegal operations (5:44).

He also says he has been working for 20 months with a separate group that includes special-forces personnel, mostly former Green Berets, who have been briefed for possible action around these secret programs (24:56). That claim expands the picture from whistleblowing alone to preparation by people he says could help expose or secure evidence.

On timing, he narrows it further. Greer says the public question is whether something happens before early January, and he defines that as before the 15th, while also thanking people who have not been able to act from inside the system.

“Thank you for what you’re doing for those of us stuck on the other side.”

— Steven Greer (23:19)

The line makes sense inside his whistleblower framework: some people are still inside restricted programs, others are trying to help from outside, and he expects movement soon rather than years from now.

How does Greer say secrecy around UFO programs was built?

Greer says the secrecy around these programs stretches back seven decades and hardened around nuclear weapons, crash retrievals, and blocked congressional oversight. He places the origin point around the first atomic weapons in 45 and says there were sightings around those weapons at that early stage (41:03).

He then adds a second marker: a crash at White Sands in 1945, which he presents as part of the early hidden history behind later retrieval and secrecy claims (41:17). In his account, that period matters because it is where the long wall of compartmented access begins.

He carries the same theme into politics. Greer says blocked oversight goes back to Senator Goldwater in the 60s, using that example to argue that even high-level elected officials were kept away from the core programs. The structure he describes is not ordinary classification. It is a system designed to outlast administrations, bury records, and deny access even to people with national standing.

“It was a God damn mistake then, and a God damn mistake now, that this was ever kept secret.”

— Steven Greer (57:20)

That line sits at the center of his historical argument: once secrecy became the default, he says, it grew into a self-protecting apparatus that could hide craft, operations, and chains of custody from the public and from lawful oversight.

What does Greer say special forces and black-site insiders are doing now?

Greer says current movement is coming from people inside hidden programs as well as former military personnel he has briefed outside them. He describes black-site insiders as starting to break ranks, and he says some of the operations at issue involve more than observation or testing.

“Some are psychopaths, and they have the ability to hoax all kinds of stuff.”

— Steven Greer (44:36)

He uses that claim to explain why he thinks fabricated events are possible on a large scale. In the same account, he says the evidence expected from insiders could include records of downed extraterrestrial vehicles, civilian planes brought down after temporary flight restrictions, and the existence of man-made anti-gravity craft held in illegal programs.

He also says his archive includes named testimony, hundreds more redacted names, and thousands of pages of government documents. He presents that archive as a record built over years, not as a single leak or one witness statement. The point, as he tells it, is that the present drone-and-orb wave sits inside a much longer body of testimony that names people, places, and operations.

What did Greer say listeners should do with these claims?

Greer says listeners should look past the surface spectacle and pay attention to who benefits from fear, secrecy, and blocked oversight. He is asking you to read the sightings as part of a structure: public conditioning, hidden technology, and insiders nearing disclosure.

Even the hosts’ side comments stayed fixed on power and access. When the talk turned to old Washington barriers, Dana Carvey summed up one piece of that history with a line about Senator Goldwater.

“He was the guy who told Nixon, you got to go.”

— Dana Carvey (1:00:33)

The point of bringing in a figure like Goldwater was not biography. It was to show that Greer places the secrecy system above normal political rank. In his account, if someone with that kind of standing still ran into locked doors, then the current sightings are part of a machine built to operate beyond ordinary control.

So the action he leaves people with is simple in his own terms: do not accept the public story at face value, watch for insiders to emerge, and treat the wave of reports as a sign that a larger disclosure battle is already underway.

FAQ

Does Steven Greer say every sighting is a drone?

No. He separates the reports into ordinary drones and more advanced craft, then says the overall public effect serves a larger psychological operation.

Does Greer name a human group behind the sightings?

Yes. He says senior intelligence and aerospace operatives linked to desert research and rogue black sites are behind much of what the public is seeing.

What timeline does Greer give for new witnesses?

He says one operative could come forward in the next 30 days or so, and he also says he expects something to happen before early January, meaning before the 15th.

Why does he bring up nuclear weapons and White Sands?

He ties the secrecy system to the first atomic weapons in 45 and to a White Sands crash in 1945, arguing that the cover-up began early and stayed in place for decades.

What evidence does Greer say exists already?
