Area 51: Bob Lazar

I am exactly sure of what I saw. I know what mainstream science is like, I know where physics stands - I know all of that - and this is an extraterrestial craft, this technology is hundreds and hundreds of years in advance of us, and that's the end of that story.

Robert Lazar came public with relevations about his work at the top secret technologie facillity S-4. When he showed friends parts of his work he was sacked and his former employers put him guns on the head.

Slender and bespectacled, with a bookish air about himself, Bob Lazar certainly looks the part. In fact, he is a young scientist who has worked on one of our government's most highly classified projects, Galileo, which involves back engineering alien technology.

I am happily retired from the Area 51 field and am currently enjoying a blissfully UFO-free lifestyle, but one issue won't leave me alone: People keep asking me about Bob Lazar. True or False: Did he work with flying saucers at "Area S-4"?

Bob Lazar was given a rare privilege as one of the elite physicists chosen to back-engineer the advanced spacecraft lent to the establishment. The spacecraft in question were not captured or recovered at crash sites as the public was lead to believe, but were given as a gift to secure future favors in return for a perceived technological edge

Area 51 investigator Tom Mahood's sceptical take on Bob Lazar's story

Robert Scott Lazar first came into the public spotlight in November of 1989, during a series of interviews on KLAS-TV in Las Vegas. In these interviews, Lazar told of being hired as a physicist for an extremely secret project at Papoose Lake, a few miles southwest of Groom Lake. He told of working on disc shaped craft, presumably of extraterrestrial origin, as part of his work there.

In August 1990, George Knapp, the reporter that first broke the story, uncovered a W2 for Robert Lazar. This slip represents payments, after deductions, for five days, (non-consecutive) working at the S4 base. Lazar started at the end of December 1988. And had only been at the base five times before the new year.

In 1989, Robert Lazar came forward with an incredible story : He had been recruited by the US government to work at the top secret Groom Lake/Area 51 research base better known as "Dreamland" (actually at the S4 site, Papoose Lake which is a few miles to the south of Groom Lake) to reverse engineer alien spacecraft! Here are a few things he learned.
