What Does Steven Greer Say the New Drone Sightings Really Are?

This article draws on our conversation with Steven Greer.

People keep seeing strange lights and craft, and Steven Greer says the new drone sightings are not one simple story. He told Dana Carvey and David Spade that what people are watching now includes ordinary drones, more advanced craft, and, in his view, a larger covert operation meant to shape how the public and media react.

Right near the start, Steven Greer said he had predicted this kind of buildup for 30 years (4:16). He framed the current wave not as a random burst of reports, but as something organized and timed.

Why does Steven Greer think people are seeing so many strange craft now?

Steven Greer says the current wave of sightings is, in large part, a psychological operation tied to rogue military activity rather than a single mystery in the sky. He answered the basic question the hosts opened with by breaking the reports into separate buckets: some sightings are drones, some involve more advanced vehicles, and most fit what he described as a coordinated operation aimed at public perception.

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

— David Spade (4:57)

That line from David Spade fits the frame Greer was laying out. Greer’s claim was that the point is not only to put objects in the air, but to generate confusion, fear, fascination, and heavy media attention ahead of what he described as a larger event. In his telling, the reason the sightings feel messy is that they are messy on purpose. If one person sees a drone, another sees a highly unusual craft, and a third only catches a distant light on video, the resulting coverage becomes harder to sort out and easier to steer.

He also said he had known for 18-19 months a group of senior intelligence and aerospace operatives working at desert locations connected, in his account, to most UFO and UAP research, development, testing, and operations (5:05). That detail matters because he did not describe the sightings as rumor flowing up from social media. He described them as activity connected to people and places he says sit close to the operational core of the program.

What does Greer say these drone sightings really are?

Greer says the drone sightings people are talking about break into three categories: drones, advanced craft, and a wider rogue operation using both. He did not treat every report as identical. Instead, he argued that the visible activity serves as cover and confusion, with conventional-looking unmanned systems mixed into sightings of craft he considers far beyond standard public technology.

Greer tied that claim to one central figure inside the operation. He said the main operative has six other rogue black sites (5:29). He also said that person had been involved for 29 years since the 1995 period and only later came to believe the program was illegal. In Greer’s telling, that change in view is why he expects insider evidence rather than another anonymous rumor.

He was specific about what he says that evidence would cover. According to Greer, the material would address non-human-intelligence craft, bodies and beings, man-made anti-gravity craft, and illegal operations involving downed extraterrestrial vehicles. He also said the evidence would include incidents involving civilian private planes over test areas after temporary flight restrictions, along with his claim that innocent people were murdered in those incidents and that evidence was removed.

That is the core of his explanation. The sightings, in his account, are not just unexplained objects. They are part of a structure that mixes technologies, secrecy, and staged public effect.

When does Greer think evidence about the sightings will emerge?

Greer says a key insider is expected to come forward in the next 30 days or so, maybe less, with evidence tied to the current sightings wave (5:44). He presented that as the near-term test of his explanation, because the case he laid out depends on documentary and firsthand proof rather than on the sightings alone.

He described that expected disclosure as coming from the operative he connected to the desert sites and the black-site network. In his account, the person is not a distant observer but someone who spent years inside the machinery of the program before deciding it had crossed into illegal activity. That is why Greer linked the present flood of reports to an imminent release of information rather than treating them as a standalone mystery.

For a reader coming in with the same basic question the hosts asked, the answer Greer gave is straightforward in structure even if the allegations are huge in scale: not every object is the same, most of the visible activity belongs to a rogue military project, and the public reaction is part of the purpose. The next step, by his account, is supposed to be evidence from inside the operation itself.

FAQ

Does Steven Greer say all the new sightings are drones?

Why does Greer think the sightings are happening now?

Greer said the activity is meant to create a psychological effect on the public and the media ahead of a larger event.

What kind of evidence does Greer say is coming?

Greer said the expected evidence would cover non-human-intelligence craft, bodies and beings, man-made anti-gravity craft, and illegal operations involving downed extraterrestrial vehicles and civilian private planes over restricted test areas.

Who are Dana Carvey and David Spade in this discussion?

Dana Carvey and David Spade are the hosts asking the opening questions that set up the subject: what people are seeing and what explanation Greer gives for it.

What does Greer say about the insider behind these claims?
