Biography

Bob Lazar is an American man born in 1959 in Coral Gables, Florida. He became widely known after speaking publicly in 1989 about alleged secret work related to UFO technology near Area 51.

Claims about Area 51 and S-4

Lazar claimed he worked at a secret site called S-4 near Area 51, where he helped study recovered extraterrestrial craft. He described seeing multiple craft and reading briefing material about alien involvement in human affairs.

Credibility and controversy

Lazar’s account is controversial because it has never been independently verified. Wikipedia and other sources note that his claimed education and employment history have been challenged or shown to contain fabrications.

Element 115

Lazar said the alleged craft used an element with atomic number 115 as a fuel source. The real element 115, muscovium, was later synthesized, but it is not the same as the substance described in Lazar’s story.
