You don't understand what "cognitive bias" means. It has nothing to do with "wanting" anything.
Cognitive bias is a collective term. What I mean here is subjective validation, perceiving something as true because of your belief.

I'm with you on this.
There are people who - since they believe that ETs are in fact visiting Earth in interstellar craft - are more likely to believe a story by a person who says he has seen these interstellar craft.
In their minds, Since Bob Lazar's story already agrees with their preconceived notions of ET visitation, that agreement with their own ideas becomes good evidence to them that all of his story is probably true.

There is more than just one group ( ufos are ET) because I believe that lazar might be telling the truth, does not mean I believe that ufos are ET, or this case has anything to do with ET.

What makes you think he might be telling the truth?

Because I do not see any motivation. Obviously not for money and attention. There is evidence that he did work at Los Alamos National Lab. Someone with credentials who worked there said he remember Lazer there. If that is the case, why did they try and hide that?
He knew things about the location that no one should know. I am not saying he is 100% but definitely enough for me to be intrigued.

OK, he may have had something to do with the S-4 test site, or knowledge of it through his work, But I don't see that as evidence that they were reverse engineering advanced craft there - or, as his story goes, ET craft. None of the details of his story provides evidence of that. The Element 115 stuff is certainly not evidence, since it was already known mainstream science of the day that element 115 was predicted to exist.
And as for "no motivation/not for money or attention" aspect: as others have pointed out, some people who have an urge to lie don't do it for attention or money. Sometimes a person's motivation for lying makes no sense to you and me. So the fact that he gained not much fame of fortune is irrelevant.

His motive for making up the ufo angle of his story (some aspects I believe are true apart from this part) is that he didn't want to be buried in the desert next to barrels of RAM coating...he worked at a part of the base but not the main section...when he got caught out there with his friends, he was in BIG trouble...
Survival... was his motive...
The "Ufos" he videoed that he took his "ufo nut" friend Lear to see...particle beam weapons test, that at a certain height fuse with molecules in the atmosphere and create plasmas..that glowed orange. When the power amplifier is changed on the particle beam, it changes height and direction..
Ohh he also "recreated" his security pass/badge...

You didn't state why the particle beam weapons makes no sense...please continue
