Bob Lazar, who worked at Area 51 sketched the alien spacecraft that he worked on
Bob Lazar is a figure who stands out in the world of ufology for his controversial claims. Born on January 26, 1959, in Coral Gables, Florida, Lazar has led a life that has become a focal point of debates among UFO enthusiasts, scientists, and skeptics alike.
Lazar first came to public attention in 1989 when he appeared in an interview with investigative reporter George Knapp on Las Vegas TV station KLAS. In the interview, Lazar claimed to have been part of an ultra-secret project at a site known as S-4, close to the infamous Area 51 in Nevada. According to Lazar, his work at S-4 involved reverse-engineering alien technology from nine recovered extraterrestrial spacecraft.
The scientist claimed that he was hired to replace one of two researchers who died while attempting to cut open one of the alien craft’s reactors. The propulsion system of the crafts, Lazar asserted, operated on a superheavy element called “Element 115,” later officially recognized as Moscovium in 2003.
