Are we alone? According to extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) expert, Dr. Steven Greer, anyone with an IQ above that of mud will tell you the answer is unequivocally `no'.

It was standing room only last night at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute (BUEI) where Dr. Greer spoke more about the implications of ETI rather than the evidence, and told the audience about "the end of the world as we know it''.

We have two choices, he told the spellbound crowd. We can either go the route of self-annihilation, or we can establish a sustainable peace on Earth, and become part of an interplanetary civilisation.

Dr. Greer is the founder and international director of the Centre for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CESTI).

He has led research teams throughout the world investigating the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence and, on several occasions, has successfully established preliminary contact and communication with extraterrestrial spacecraft at close range.

We're not alone, says ET expert Dr. Greer has also written "Extraterrestrial Contact: The Evidence and Implications'', a book acclaimed as one of the most comprehensive and insightful on the subject.

And a date for everyone's diary is May 9, when Dr. Greer will hold an "explosive'' press conference in Washington, DC where he will release to the world the exact details of extraterrestrial activity on our planet, and the decades of secrecy .

Dr. Greer has gathered some 500 interviews and testimony from officials involved in nearly every area of extraterrestrial activity on the planet.

He told the audience last night the powers that be, whoever they are, have had -- for at least four decades-- the technology to eliminate reliance on fossil fuels and the internal combustion engine.

Dr. Greer speaks again tonight at BUEI at 6.30. Tickets cost $10, followed by a buffet dinner, $25.
