One of the most compelling unanswered questions of our age is “Are we alone?” Considering the vastness of the universe, it is difficult to imagine that earth is the only planet that supports intelligent life. One of the most interesting and perhaps controversial figures to come forth with information concerning this question is Bob Lazar.
Bob claims he was hired in the 1980s to reverse-engineer the propulsion system of an extraterrestrial space craft at a secret site called “S-4.” That site was said to be located near the US Air Force facility commonly known as Area 51 in southern Nevada. His work at S-4 involved investigating an antimatter reactor that was powered with a mysterious substance called “element 115 or (E-115).” Lazar’s story was first reported by a Las Vegas investigative reporter at KLAS, and the story quickly spread throughout the globe. Lazar said he came forward because he felt information of this magnitude should not be kept from the general public.
The propulsion system was said to be equipped with anti-gravity emitters that distorted the gravity field just beyond the craft — allowing it to “fall” forward at amazing speeds. Lazar stated that his exposure was limited to the propulsion system and that the work being done at S-4 was highly compartmentalized. Although he never saw or had any contact with aliens he noted that the seats in the saucer he examined were small, as if for a child. He also mentioned that the other scientists referred to the aliens as “the kids.” During a compelling documentary film, Bob sits down at his kitchen table and sketches out the space craft as he understood it.
A portion of that sketch is shown here. You can purchase a print of Lazar’s sketch on the internet. It is interesting to think about the importance of this humble sketch if Lazar’s story proves to be correct.
Bob says he received master’s degrees from MIT (physics) and California Institute of Technology (electronics) although the institutions claim to have no record of him attending. Lazar alleges that many of his records were scrubbed after he came forward with his story. What is curious is that Bob Lazar has classmates that remember him being on campus, and his name appears in the 1982 directory at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico — not a designation given to someone without credentials. He currently runs a private lab that produces refined chemicals and elements for other labs. In 2017 Lazar’s modest facility was curiously raided by the FBI. He says he suspects that they were attempting to recover some E-115 he had taken from S-4. It is interesting to note that Lazar has not profited from his story nor does he seem like the kind of person who seeks attention. When asked if he would come forward knowing what he knows now, he hesitates, acknowledging that coming forward has had a negative net impact on his life.
