About the Entities
Bob Lazar
person
Bob Lazar first came forward in 1989 claiming he had worked at a facility called S-4 near Area 51, where he said the U.S. government was reverse-engineering extraterrestrial spacecraft. Lazar described the crafts' propulsion as using element 115 (moscovium), which was not synthesized until 2003. His employment claims at Los Alamos were partially corroborated by a phone directory listing and a Los Alamos Monitor news article, though his educational credentials remain disputed. Lazar's story has remained consistent for over 30 years.
