The Origins of Bob Lazar and the Modern UFO Disclosure Movement


Lazar went public with claims that he had once worked at an ultra-secret facility within the already secret US military installation known as Area 51. His job at said facility? Working on a highly compartmentalized project with the goal of reverse-engineering flying saucers of extraterrestrial origin which were in US govt. possession. Although his claims, as well as those he made concerning his background, were thoroughly debunked by UFO researchers such as the late Stanton Friedman, the story continues to circulate to this day

…Many of the myths spread by Lazar came directly from a man named John Lear.

Lear was a one-time CIA pilot who just so happened to have an interest in UFOs.

…It is a fact that Lear and Lazar knew each other quite well even before Bob’s infamous Area 51 story came out…

…his now famous depiction of the flying saucer he worked on which he called the sport model, is nearly identical to what can be seen in some of the most blatantly hoaxed saucer photos in existence; the ones taken by UFO cult leader Billy Meier. This design is as frequently associated with UFOs in the modern era as Adamski’s was decades ago. In fact, it was this specific saucer which was used in the famous I Want To Believe poster featured prominently in the X-Files television series.

    My mantra is that I suspend my belief and disbelief. I believe Lazar wholeheartedly believes what he says. But I won’t form a dogmatic opinion on it either way.

    Hell, I say the same about my own Gateway& similar altered state experiences. It’s all very profound and ontologically relieving. But part of being a metacognitive human is to remember that our Achilles heel is our predisposition to want to turn things into dogma. I don’t know if Lazar is telling the truth. All I know with certainty is that as a species we don’t even know what we don’t know and the more we advance our science to try to understand the cosmos, the weirder and more bizarre it gets.
