Bob Lazar
Silent:
I've heard a few of the old Lazar interviews and they were pretty good. I get the impression from a few other posts here that Lazar was outed as a fake? What's the story as far as his authenticity.
guildnavigator:
there have been many attempts to expose him as a hoaxer, but each piece of evicence against him, or lack of documentation supporting his story can also be explained by his story!
He does run a scientific equipment supply company, he sells uranium, and i've seen videos of his corvette that he converted to run on hydrogen.
I guess it comes down to wether or not you believe that the government (or whoever else) really could and would discredit and cover up as much as they'd have to for his story to be true.
As far as I know there hasn't been a definitive answer to this, and I don't think that there can be unless the story changes.
cwarner:
The main thing against him that Friedman always brings up is his education credentials can't be verified. There's no record of him having gone to Caltech or MIT, and apparently the Professors he claimed to have worked with have no idea who he is.
I find it odd though, since he's clearly a smart guy, and lying about having gone to these schools seems like such an obvious flaw in an attempted hoax. Why not just claim to be self-educated?
Not to mention he doesn't really seem like the type to enjoy a lot of attention.. oh well, oddballs do odd things, I guess.

When Lazar first started his story (if I have it right) the internet was still in its infancy and personal computers were a thing of fiction.

i'm pretty sure that bob's story addresses this lack of documentation at some point.
