Anyone who’s visited Imagine Museum in St. Petersburg has seen multiple exhibits of extra-terrestrial-themed glass artwork. Among them is an installation by the museum’s founder, Trish Duggan and Bertil Valien’s Visitor Beacon.
With that in mind, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise that the museum would host UFO and extra-terrestrial expert Steven Greer. The retired emergency room doctor gave two sold-out lectures on his decades long research called The Disclosure Project.
Steven Greer at Imagine Museum
For more than 35 years, Greer has collected evidence of the U.S. government’s cover-up of the existence of UFOs and extra-terrestrial intelligence. He’s made five documentaries, written six books on the subject, and presented briefings on the matter to government officials across the globe.
The lecture took place in the museum’s first floor lobby among glass alien-head statues and mobiles of planets. Greer spoke in front of the massive triangular Blue Eye of the Pyramid sculpture.
The entourage of Duggan, Greer and staff arrived from a passageway. Duggan wore a black cloak with a flying saucer stitched on the front —very apropos for the event —and took to the stage to introduce her friend, Greer.
Greer stepped on the stage to thunderous applause.

For the next hour, Greer presented a dizzying amount of information about actual UFOs. Specifically, he spoke of the ones manufactured by the U.S. the government. He elaborated on the idea that the government actively conducts “alien” abductions and the lengths the government has gone to cover all of this up.
From Greer’s lecture, it appears that humankind isn’t ready for the kind of peaceful contact the extra-terrestrials want. We are basically war-mongering, planet-destroying heathens that no one in the multiverse wants to have any part of.
The good news is, if all governments across the world come together, the interstellar civilizations will finally accept us.

Was Greer convincing? He was to this crowd, based on the gasps and murmurs that punctuated the lecture.
One woman asked, “What can we do?” during audience questions. The answer was to contact your legislators.
Greer is getting ready to present The Disclosure Project’s 2025 briefing document to the Trump administration.
It makes sense that Greer has a following. Most people have some skepticism about government transparency. Add to that the existential notion that we couldn’t possibly be the only life forms in the universe. It is understandable that people are seeking answers.
To quote another relentless believer, Agent Fox Mulder on The X-Files, the truth is out there.
