Critical review by skeptic Robert Sheaffer

Greer is clearly doing this to make money. He also does bizarre new-age seminars to communicate with his "alien gods".

Greer's "Sirius" Documentary - no "Bombshell," just Nonstop UFO Claims http://badufos.blogspot.ca/2013/04/greers-sirius-documentary-no-bombsh ell.html

Most of what we see after that comes in no particular order. We are given UFO cases and UFO witnesses in a popcorn sort of manner, no sooner does one bounce up than it falls back and another takes its place. There is no time (or need) for exposition, or analysis. Every case, and every claim, is apparently completely solid and needs no further explanation or proof. The "organization" of the film was such that one could have taken almost any segment of it, and switched it with any other, and the change would scarcely be noticed. Some things that we are shown, for the most part quite briefly, include, in no particular order:

President Eisenhower's warning about the Military-Industrial Complex
Dr. Oppenheimer saying, "we have done this (nukes) before."
ancient aliens
Federal reserve conspiracies
Oil company conspiracies
Laurance Rockefeller saying 'disclosure' will change everything
MJ-12 Government UFO coverup conspiracy
STS-48 UFO video
Dr. Lynne Kitei and the Phoenix Lights, which were not military flares
"free energy" claimants, including T. Townsend Brown, Tom Valone, Tom Bearden, Stanley Meyer, John Searl, Eugene Mallove, John Havrilla. Anti-gravity and electro-gravitics claims are made.
automobiles that can run on water
Conspiracies involving the Masons, and the Bohemian Grove

These supposed "inventors," plus the ET technology, offers us unlimited Free Energy, but a conspiracy by those Greer calls the "Petro-fascists" keeps us using coal, oil, and nuclear power. Part of the Conspiracy is to keep us distracted by other things. Even Honey Boo-Boo is depicted as part of the Conspiracy to keep us distracted from ET truths.

There are now 4 IMDB reviews, and all but the first say Sirius is really bad. Wonder how it got a 7.3 rating.

Update Apr 27: Now 11 reviews, three positive, 6 negative. Two of positives were by just registered IDs.

I read the negative ones, they sound like they were written by children that thought they were about to watch ET part 2. Give me a break....

This film clearly reaches WAY over most people heads. Sad really....

Award for most unusual review, from the Vatican meets ET blog:

Logos Apologia is the ministry of Cris D. Putnam http://www.logosapologia.org/?p=4916

More interesting to readers of Exo-Vaticana, the film features our old friend Roman Catholic demonologist, Monsignor Corrado Balducci in a few brief clips. Whereas the majority of evangelical scholars conclude that the contactee phenomenon is connected to the occult, Balducci asserted that so-called extraterrestrial encounters “are not demonic, they are not due to psychological impairment, and they are not a case of entity attachment.”[4] Balducci has never been refuted by the Vatican and he teaches that superior ETs are coming to evangelize us: [video]

I find Greer compelling, and was excited to hear about this film. Since the first disclosure project back in 2001, I've tried to follow his work but he keeps a rather low profile. I like his fervent attitude, the credibility of his witnesses, and the deeper philosophy he brings to the subject. I'm excited about pulling back the curtain and trying to see the bigger picture. I know it scares a lot of people, but I'm comfortable with it. It has never had a negative effect on my life. Our values don't lose meaning just because aliens exist. In fact, I would argue they become stronger if you truly embrace the impact of what it means. We need to be responsible about this subject, even in theoretical terms. Ignorance, turning a blind eye -it becomes quite apparent the moment you do that, and it's ugly, and maybe more obvious than it has been in the past. Our "curtain of humility" is beginning to wear a bit thin. I fear the place one buries their head far more than the somewhat obvious concept that this universe is really, really big. As mind blowing as "aliens are real" may seem at first, when you really think about it, and take into account the accepted main stream astronomical science even your grandparents would agree on, you can't really say it's THAT crazy. In so many ways, it's inevitable that we must confront our galactic community. Even if it's in the smallest way you can, it still helps us move forward as an intelligent species.

Here's a debunking of the dinky alien claim by an anthropologist (?) at Zygoma blog http://paolov.wordpress.com/2013/05/04/atacama-alien-mystery/. It's mummified aborted fetus. Pic of 20 week fetal skeleton for comparison.
