National Press Club Disclosure Event 2026
Steven Greer's 25th-anniversary Disclosure Project press conference featuring military whistleblower testimony and analysis of the Buga Sphere artifact.
On May 8, 2026, Dr. Steven Greer convened a major press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, marking the 25th anniversary of his landmark 2001 disclosure briefing. The event represented a significant continuation of efforts to bring public testimony and physical evidence to bear on government transparency regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena.
Witness Testimony
Multiple military veterans provided firsthand accounts before an assembled crowd. A U.S. Army Green Beret described accessing a facility in Indiana that reportedly contained "non-human artifacts," and recalled witnessing what he characterized as a man-made craft during operations in the Middle East. A U.S. Marine witness recounted observing a circular object approximately 300 feet in diameter that he claimed was used in human trafficking operations. Another Marine testified to witnessing a large triangular craft in proximity to the 29 Palms Marine Corps base in California.
The Buga Sphere Analysis
The centerpiece of the presentation was scientific analysis of the "Buga Sphere," a metallic artifact recovered in Colombia. Dr. Jaime Maussan and colleagues presented results of carbon dating, elemental analysis, and structural examination. The resin found within the sphere returned a radiocarbon age of approximately 12,560 years, raising questions about its origins and composition. The sphere's geometric precision and material properties suggested non-standard manufacturing techniques, though independent verification of these claims remained pending at the time of presentation.
Context and Significance
The 2026 event occurred within weeks of President Trump's February 20 presidential directive ordering the Pentagon and intelligence agencies to begin identifying and releasing government records related to UAPs and extraterrestrial contact. The disclosure event built on the momentum of the PURSUE (Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters) initiative, which began releasing declassified documents on May 8—the same day as Greer's briefing. Congressional oversight had expanded substantially following provisions in the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act, which mandated that the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) include retroactive intelligence from NORAD and NORTHCOM UAP intercepts dating to January 1, 2004.
