UFO whistleblower, Bob Lazar inteviewed

Refocusing on UFO's and Bob Lazar

I watched this documentary last summer but now it has made it onto Netflix, bringing Bob Lazar back into prominence at the same time as this is reaching prominence in the media



I have spent a couple of evenings listening to this interview with Joe Rogan in part, to get away from the heavy material I am dealing with.

 

Bob Lazar is a physicist who worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, and also on reverse engineering extraterrestrial technology at a site called S-4 near the Area 51 Groom Lake operating location. Jeremy Corbell is a contemporary artist and documentary filmmaker. Watch the documentary "Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers" now streaming on Netflix

What I found was perhaps the most intelligent discussion between three people that I have encountered for some time.

I do not have their fascination and faith in technology or the future of humanity but for all that I was mesmerised.

If you continue to believe Bob Lazar is a "fake" after this then either you are monumentally obtuse or you are a professional troll with an agenda.

Film on Netflix finds UFO whistleblower Bob Lazar seeming less crazy than ever

The most chilling part of Bob Lazar’s story is that it has not changed in 30 years.


The scientist first made global headlines in 1989 with allegations that were truly out of this world: the U.S. government had recovered alien spacecraft and were analyzing the vessels at a top-secret base in Nevada, close to Area 51.


It was like hearing a whistleblower claim there was a clandestine cistern near Sea World that contained the Loch Ness Monster. Equally unsettling was the matter-of-fact manner in which Lazar detailed his astonishing claims.



In total, Lazar said there were nine UFOs, some of which were operational. He had been hired at the S-4 facility to “back-engineer” the propulsion systems, which were unlike anything on Earth. Powered by Element 115 — which at the time had never been synthesized in a lab — these UFOs allegedly had an antimatter generator that created gravity waves and manipulated the space-time continuum.


Or something like that.


The interviews Lazar did that year with KLAS, a CBS affiliate in Las Vegas, ricocheted around the world, put Area 51 on the pop-cultural map and cemented his status as one of the most polarizing figures in the realm of ufology.


To his supporters, including the family and friends who know him best, Lazar was telling the truth then and he’s telling it now. To critics, including some who otherwise believe aliens are real, Lazar was a terrestrial liar.



If you’re unfamiliar with the story, I encourage you to watch Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers, now streaming on Netflix. As director Jeremy Corbell puts it: “These milestones along the way, no matter how much we nitpick it apart, no matter how much people don’t want to believe, the evidence that he’s telling the truth outweighs the evidence that he’s not.”


That’s an audacious statement.


But the milestones, big and small, are definitely intriguing.



When Lazar first cited Element 115, scientists were like, Huh? But that element, also known as Moscovium, was synthesized in 2003. It’s now on the periodic table. Lazar was referencing 115 before it was a thing, and now it is.


Lazar also claimed these UFOs flew “belly-up.” If they were a flying car, he explained, they’d elevate off the ground and then the tires would point toward the destination. And in recent footage filmed by U.S. Navy pilots and shared by media outlets, including the New York Times, there are recorded sightings of UFOs flying exactly as Lazar described: tilted at an angle, rotating, emitting no exhaust and manoeuvering in ways that violate the laws of physics.



Does all of this mean Lazar was telling the truth in 1989, when he claimed to be part of a top-secret government program that was studying recovered UFOs? No. But all these years later, there is no persuasive evidence that he is lying.


The biggest questions hanging over Lazar concern his pre-UFO past.


He claims to have studied at Caltech and MIT. He said his job before S-4 was with the Los Alamos National Laboratory. But when investigators tried to confirm these details, there was “no record” of Lazar at either school or the facility.



This is, admittedly, a tricky point to navigate. Lazar says his whistleblowing led to the government scrubbing him from existence. But even if official records were covertly purged, wouldn’t he have physical evidence — diplomas, photos, correspondence, the names of professors or other students and colleagues — that proved he attended those schools and worked at Los Alamos?


Investigative reporter George Knapp, who broke the story in 1989 and continues to publicly defend Lazar, found an old phone directory from Los Alamos that listed him. There were also newspaper stories that identified Lazar as a Los Alamos scientist. And some classmates and colleagues have since come forward.


It’s also important to note there is now no official record of Lazar’s birth.


Does that mean he does not exist?


Honestly, I don’t know what to make of Bob Lazar. But while his story has not changed for three decades, what is different today is our openness to at least consider such otherworldly claims without automatic dismissal.


For decades, the U.S. government’s default position on UFOs was blanket denial. But that deep freeze is starting to thaw. The Navy recently issued guidelines for pilots to report sightings, free of stigma and judgment. Congress was recently given a classified briefing on the subject. And U.S. President Donald Trump, to his credit, has been forthright in acknowledging unexplained encounters.


If Lazar is a hoaxster, as many claim, I’m hard-pressed to understand what he actually got out of this whistleblowing. He certainly hasn’t profited. For the most part, Lazar has shunned the spotlight and attempted to distance himself from UFOs while coping with relentless attacks on his character and credibility.


As he says in the documentary: “At this point in my life, I’d probably lean towards not saying anything.”


That’s a heartbreaking admission when you consider the ultimate question.


What if Bob Lazar is telling the truth?
