Greer says the UNOD letter deadline has passed and the "Deep State" is staying silent
In a recent podcast episode, American UFO researcher Steven Greer claims that he had awaited an official response to the UNOD letter he sent by August 29, but none came, which he says should be interpreted as the silence of the "Deep State" that covers up secret programs.
Steven Greer, founder of the Disclosure Project and one of the best-known and also most controversial figures in ufology, returned in the 24th episode of his podcast to the letter called "Unless Otherwise Directed" (UNOD), which he had earlier sent to the relevant authorities to challenge the legitimacy of secret programs related to technologies of non-human origin. According to Greer, the August 29 deadline he set expired without him receiving any formal response or denial from the recipients, and he interprets this silence as confirming the position of those whistleblowers and witnesses who say secret programs exist for crash retrieval, reverse engineering of alien technologies, and classified UFO projects.
In the podcast, Greer again criticized what he calls the U.S. government's gradual disclosure model: in his view, the official narrative about UAPs, that is, unidentified aerial phenomena, is controlled by interest groups in the government and industrial background, which he often refers to as the "Deep State." He claims that over the decades these groups have gained such operational and financial autonomy that they have effectively escaped traditional government oversight. Greer also emphasized that, in his view, highly efficient energy systems and propulsion methods derived from reverse-engineered vehicles of non-human origin already exist and are available in secret programs, but because of economic and strategic interests they do not reach society. According to him, full disclosure would mean not only acknowledging the extraterrestrial presence but also revealing these technologies, which would affect the global energy system, transportation, and the economy.
The episode also touched on other recurring topics, including alleged extraterrestrial activity on the Moon, artificial intelligence and the question of consciousness, as well as the CE-5 protocol developed by Greer, a method aimed at making contact with non-human intelligences. None of Greer's claims – from the UNOD letter allegedly not being rejected to the reverse-engineered technologies – have been publicly confirmed by any authority, and according to the article as well, this is one of the best-known but unproven narratives of the controversial disclosure movement.
The sober take
The UNOD letter and the deadline in it were solely Greer's own initiative; no official body has confirmed either receipt of the letter or its legal weight. The "lack of a response" therefore cannot be considered an official confirmation or denial, only Greer's own interpretation.
