Bob Lazar
American who claimed on Las Vegas TV in 1989 that he had worked on reverse-engineering alien saucers at 'S-4' near Area 51.
1989 CE · 36.17, -115.14 · status: claim
The account
Interviewed by George Knapp, Lazar said he had seen nine flying saucers and that they ran on 'element 115'. He became one of the most famous figures in UFO lore and the subject of Jeremy Corbell's 2018 film.
The sceptical view
MIT and Caltech have no record of him, his claimed employers have no record of his work, and element 115 (moscovium, made in 2003) decays in milliseconds; he has presented no evidence.
