• Did Lazar work at Area 51
• Did he actually work on extraterrestrial U.F.O’s
• Is the government trying to erase him?
Let us explore and discover whether or not Lazar really worked at Area 51.
Bob Lazar is undoubtedly a well-known physicist; especially because he is known as a “Whistleblower” for uncovering the location of a secret S-4 base (A Brief Biography1). During Lazar’s young adolescent years, he began to develop a love for pyrotechnics watching the displays that the famous Grucci family performed. Once he grew up to a more mature age, he and his close friend Gene Huff founded the “Desert Blast Festival”. The festival is all about homemade explosives and pyrotechnics (Brown 1). One of Bob’s first jobs was titled as a “Photo Guy”, he worked for most of the Las Vegas appraisers (Huff 1). Gene says that when Bob had a special photo delivery he would drive a Honda CRX, in which he installed a jet engine (1). Bob had also owned a rail type dragster with a jet engine from one of the first military’s first supersonic fighters (1).
There was an instance where they were sitting at the kitchen table talking, and Lazar made nitro-glycerin just for fun and then later went outside and blew it up (1). Gene didn’t ever think that all this knowledge and know how was inside of Lazar. Gene once asked Bob a question, “Why didn’t you tell me you were a scientist, and Lazar returned with what did you want me to say?” (1).
Even though Lazar was a well-known physicist, he lived a very secretive life. His story sometimes is hard to believe, because of the flaws it contains and the secrets that he has. Lazar did an interview in March of 1990 with Timothy Good (Lazar flaws 1). In this interview, Lazar tells Tim that he had attended Pierce Junior College, California, and there is some evidence with this rumor (1). He then says he went to Cal Tech, and the California State University at Northridge (1). A physicist by the name of Stanton Friedman has been able to prove Lazar’s attendance at both Peirce Junior College and California State University, but no other (1). Bob claims to have received his Bachelor of Science in physics and electronic technology at Pacifica University (1). He then states to have continued his education to receive two masters, one in physics and the other in electronic technology. The college that Bob claims to have received his Bachelor’s in physics was at MIT and wrote his thesis on Magnetohydrodynamics, but to everyone’s surprise, no record is found (1). Lazar’s secrets about his education are one of the major controversies that fuels the whole conspiracy that revolves around him.
Before anyone can discuss the other conspiracies that revolve around the famous Bob Lazar, they must decide whether or not they believe that he even worked at the secret base. In his interview, Bob states that he was hired on at Los Alamos National Laboratory, but when talking with his closest friend Gene Huff he tells him the company was EG&G (Huff 1) (Bob Lazar Interview 1). Both stories start out the same way; Bob supposedly had gotten the job through a man he met at a seminar named, Edward Teller. Edward Teller is known for being one of the men who aided in the construction of the atomic bomb. In his story with Gene, Bob had sent his resume to Teller, but Teller was no longer active. Teller had given Bob a name of a gentleman in Las Vegas to contact to get a job (Huff 1). Once Bob had contacted the man, he received a phone call from a company called EG&G to set up an interview (1). This company had all kinds of high tech interest at the Nevada test sites. Once Bob had gone to the interview he stated, “He dazzled them by answering the most complex questions they had asked him,” but this had sadly backfired on Lazar (1). The company had felt that he was overqualified for the job position, so he was denied the job. Shortly after, they had told him there was another job available working on propulsion systems (1).
On the other hand, in the interview, there is a picture shown of the directory at Los Alamos showing Bob on the directory ( “UFO The Bob Lazar Interview” 1).
Both stories end in the same way, in both Bob had been offered a position in Project Galileo where he went to another facility, which had turned out to be the secret S-4 base. When Lazar talks about how they transported him to and from the base in the interview, he says, “When I was told to go to work I would go to McCarran international airport, to a special projects EG&G building.” ( “UFO The Bob Lazar Interview” 1). Which is where both of his stories come together because both now include the special project's building. He then goes further into detail about his trip to the base:
From the airport, I would board a plane that would take a short flight to Groom Lake. Once the plane landed I would board a bus with blacked out windows, which would then take them on about a rough and bumpy twenty to thirty-minute drive to the secret S-4 base. When I had arrived at the base I would see a combination of building and hangars, which were built into the side of the mountain. There were armed guards everywhere and security was oppressive. ( “UFO The Bob Lazar Interview” 1)
Once he had reached the base he was then escorted into a briefing room (1). There was one instance where they were briefing Lazar about other projects, which were taking place at the base and he remembers seeing photographs of extraterrestrial beings, and each one was seemingly being dissected ( “UFO The Bob Lazar Interview” 1).
Which leads us to the second conspiracy; what did Bob Lazar do while working inside the secret S-4 base? With Bob’s passion and experience with propulsion systems, someone could already believe what he worked on, but what was the system propelling? In his interview, he tells us about one instance where he was walking to the base and saw one of the hangar doors open, which caught his attention because the doors were always closed. He said that inside the hangar there was an unidentified flying object ( “UFO The Bob Lazar Interview” 1). At first, Bob did not know what exactly he was working on, it was not until he entered the craft that he realized what exactly it was. The way the controls were set up on the inside you could tell the craft was not from the Earth. Bob goes deep into detail about how the flying saucer actually worked:
The craft had three amplifiers or generators that would produce their own gravity wave, which is similar to the gravity that the Earth produces. It turns the wave to work against that of the Earth. The way in which it is propelled, are two different ways one being omicron, where it’s using one amplifier, and then delta configuration, which is all three generators (ideal for space travel). During space travel, the craft would tilt up on its side and the focus the generator to a point in front of it, so that the craft moves in a falling or rolling motion through space. (“UFO The Bob Lazar Interview” 1).
Bob had vast knowledge about how the craft actually worked, and how it was powered by element 115.
Which leads into the third conspiracy, is the government trying to erase any records of Bob? With all the knowledge that Bob had and being employed by the government it would be logical to believe that he would have had to sign a document stating, that if he spoke of anything classified, any claims he made would be denied. This is the reason that Bob’s story is flawed. No record can be found of him ever attending the two colleges he claims and not much to go on from the secret S-4 base. The program would constantly do background checks on their employees and once had an agent named Mike Thigpen went to Bob’s house and did a thorough search (Huff 1). This has yet to be proven because Mike denies any instance of him being there, but some of Bob’s neighbors had seen him there (1). In Lazar’s interview, he starts to talk about what seems like a normal day, but when he was driving on the highway he noticed a car that seemed suspicious. At first, he did not know what to think about it, “I thought he was trying to race,” but once he heard a gunshot he noticed it was no joking matter (“UFO The Bob Lazar Interview” 1).
Bob has limited physical proof validating his employment and involvement with the so-called ‘Project Galileo’. His immense knowledge and description of the craft and science behind its mechanisms convey that he either has a very vivid imagination or he was a witness to secret projects at the S-4 base. His knowledge also displays that he had been educated in the field of physics and chemistry previously. In a blind survey, at a local college, 74% of the students questioned believed the story of Bob Lazar, so this leads us to the questions of what is the government hiding and are we really the only ones.
