Lazar said element 115 couldn't be made in a lab, that's why it's so ironic that people say the "discovery" of element 115 proves Lazar right, they don't even know what he actually said!

I'm with you my friend.
For 30 years little tid bits have been proven legit about Bob.
Either it really happened, or he should buy a lotto ticket cuz his predictions are batting 100.
Science Behind the Fiction: Can we believe the Area 51 witness or was he a liar?
Lazar also suggested that Element 115 could not be synthesized on Earth, as it is simply too heavy. Lazar claimed instead that the substance could only be made in very large stars. Though the powers that be at S-4 had pounds and pounds of the stuff.
Despite his claims, scientists in Russia did succeed in synthesizing a material which fits in the appropriate slot on the periodic table.
My book, UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities, is based on an ad hoc group I formed decades ago to study the topic. Participants came from all services, several intelligence agencies, and aerospace industries. All members had very high security clearances. Contrary to popular mythology we found no ultra-secret organization lurking in the background.

A UFO crash retrieval program was shuttered in 1989 but it's currently in hibernation, meaning everything is still out there, it's just a matter of getting it reopened. In order to do that, we need to convince the decision makers that it would be worth reopening, if we can show that our current science has caught up sufficiently to yield results.
The US military has a number of crash retrievals and they've been analyzed, but our understanding of physics, etc., wasn't advanced enough to make sense of the technology. The responsible agency therefore pulled the plug.
Text Summary of Interview
If we are still talking about Lazar here, that hedge has nothing to do with Lazar. Lazar had no advanced theories, he mangled existing theories with misunderstandings and misuse of scientific terminology.

Ahhh yes. “Currently accepted” physical theories... do you see the hedge there?
Exactly. If I wanted to look I'd try to get a security clearance to see the 5000 or so secret patents that the public can't see.

Who's to say they haven't pumped all the money into exotic weapons? The hints are out there, this is just the wrong place to be looking.
It's so funny to watch you claim Lazar didn't say what he said. Where did Lazar use the word "stable" in this conversation? He did not say "it is impossible to synthesize a stable element that heavy here on Earth"

No parts of that statement are untrue; 115 cannot be synthesized in a stable form as of now. Could it be eventually? Maybe, but the 115 we can synthesize is unstable and decays quickly. We've seen this before in previous elements; where we eventually stabalized it.
Also, it's important to know how numbers on the periodic table work -- what we label as 115, may not be the same "115" that Lazar is talking about. We label new elements sequentially by atomic weight and that's that. So is it possible that the 115 we synthesize that is unstable is NOT the same 115 he claims he had a sample of?
Absolutely. This is an argument of semantics, and in no way does an element with the moniker 115 have to be the same element that Lazar claims existed.
This is a simpleton argument, plain and simple.
The element, called 115, can be stored in lead casings much like this one [showing a lead circular container]. Lazar says the government has 500 pounds of it, and it cannot be made on earth.
Lazar: "It would be almost impossible; well, it is impossible to synthesize an element that heavy here on Earth."
Interviewer: "At least right now."
Lazar: "I don't think that you can ever synthesize it. The amount of....you essentially have to assemble it by bombarding it with protons if....atom by atom, it would take an infinite amount of power and an infinite amount of time. The substance has to come from a place where super-heavy elements could have been produced naturally.
After reading an account by Bob Lazar of the “physics” of his Area 51 UFO propulsion system, my conclusion is this: Mr. Lazar presents a scenario which, if it is correct, violates a whole handful of currently accepted physical theories. That in and of itself does not necessarily mean that his scenario is impossible. But the presentation of the scenario by Lazar is troubling from a scientific standpoint. Mr. Lazar on many occasions demonstrates an obvious lack of understanding of current physical theories. On no occasion does he acknowledge that his scenario violates physical laws as we understand them, and on no occasion does he offer up any hints of new theories which would make his mechanism possible. Mr. Lazar has a propensity for re-defining scientific terms, and using scientific language in a confusing and careless way. For these reasons, I don’t feel that Lazar’s pseudo-scientific ramblings are really worthy of any kind of serious consideration.
His name is Tom Mahood and he has a real master's degree in physics, here is a link to his master's thesis:

does this physicist pass your sniff test? just curious
reading this www.otherhand.org... and Im wondering if guy is a professional writer, physicist or both

If you actually watch that whole Bob Lazar video instead of watching this chopped up edited version you would see the part where Bob Lazar states that this is how he THINKS the crafts work. This youtube channel is a joke.
Compare that where Bob explains how the craft works in detail, to his appearance on Joe Rogan, where he says he has no idea how the craft worked.

Well here is that video in full.
Please provide the timestamps where he says he THINKS this is how the craft works.....

Okay, such as?
Sure, I'll give it a go...
• Evidence of interstellar travel methods that are *partially made known for scrutiny and studied/assessed by mainstream science.
• Biological evidence of complex non terrestrial DNA, peer reviewed, verified, and publicly available.
• Open, global interaction with ET's, including limited public access in order for the public to access "hands-on" contact.
*partially, because this data might be sensitive.

If thats your threshold then I dont think we will prove it to you in our lifetime..
Was that video before or after Bob Bigelow figured out that Lazar was telling lies about his fake element 115, which Bigelow figured out was a commercial emulsive product? Apparently the "Zeta Reticuli Corporation" partnership between the Bobs to use the fake element 115 ended immediately after that. So couldn't Knapp just call Bigelow to find out where he could get the commercial emulsive product Bigelow said was Lazar's fake 115?
originally posted by: mirageman
Everyone arguing about the minutiae is pointless.
This whole Lazar story revolves around whether he actually worked on a recovered alien spaceship or not.
George Knapp claims he knows where the buried element 115 is and will maybe "go dig it up after Bob's gone".
...
Or are people scared he's telling lies?
originally posted by: mirageman
Truth is if Bob's story was real he has absolutely nothing but a story. Who's trying to prove him a fake? Oh!
Jacques Vallee noted Bob Bigelow sussed him out pretty quickly pretending he had the mysterious stable version of E115 but it was in fact industrial emulsifier.
