Bob Lazar's 5 most stunning revelations
If the 5 most stunning are this dumb, imagine what the 5 least stunning must be.
Bob Lazar (1959-) is a guy who probably got pushed around in school as a kid, and so sought relevance by publicly pretending to have been a government scientist who possessed all the secrets of alien technology. That ought to do the trick.
In 1989 he went on UFOlogist George Knapp’s news program on KLAS Las Vegas TV and told how he had secretly worked on alien spacecraft at Area 51. Only in his 20s and with no academic or scientific background, he had been given the keys to the kingdom and was the military’s top expert on the mysterious craft. Unsurprisingly, much of the UFO community has fully embraced him and believes every word.
So I was not too surprised when I saw this dumb article the other day, “Did America hide aliens and UFO secrets? Bob Lazar’s 5 explosive Area 51 revelations.” Let’s have a look at each of Lazar’s 5 most explosive revelations:
1. Secret Craft Stored At S-4
A lot of people have always worked at Area 51 (which has gone through numerous official name changes, currently Homey Airport, a detachment of the Nevada Test and Training Range in southern Nevada, inside the Nellis Air Force Base Complex). Knowing this, Lazar cleverly made up a location near Area 51 that he calls S-4. It was, of course, underground, with zero above-ground infrastructure, unlike actual underground structures.
Lazar alleged that the US government was concealing nine alien spacecraft in underground hangars carved into a mountain near Groom Lake. He described being escorted to S-4, where he witnessed flying saucers that appeared undamaged and fully intact. He insisted these were not experimental human aircraft but genuine extraterrestrial technology.
There’s really nothing to debunk here, since he just made shit up as he went. And as Hitchens’ Razor tell us: That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
I’ll be talking more about this, particulary S-4, at Skeptipalooza in Seattle next weekend. Come check it out, it’s free.
