Bob said he arrived on the Janet flights from vegas. There are passenger manifests for all of those flights and Fred Dunham checked all of them during the time Lazar claimed to have worked there, and Lazar wasn't on any of them. It doesn't matter if Lazar was then shuttled to some other area, he would have to have appeared on the passenger manifest for the janet flights, according to his own story. But I don't think Bob Lazar expected Dunham would go through all those manifests.

Watching TD Barnes interview and he admits he didn't know about all that was going on at Area 51 at the time Bob Lazar claims to have worked there and he is only relying on whether or not security guards who supposedly worked there during the time Lazar was there remembered him. Just how many people would be going through security in a day, I wonder - or through those specific security guards? Does it stand to reason if Lazar was working in an area that Barnes' knew nothing about that the security guards would also not know anything about it too? How do we know Lazar entered and left the area in the same manner as the roadrunners or everyone else claiming Lazar was never there for that matter?
Where is the Senate report?

Well I honestly don't know if Fravor is getting any money for his appearances, and usually grifters grift for personal monetary gain but it doesn't have to be monetary as long as they gain something they value personally, whether it's fame, entertainment, or one hypothesis in the case of pilots possibly stretching the truth a little, is being asked to do a patriotic service to their country by the intelligence community who wants US adversaries to think the US has reverse-engineered alien tech.

I thought gifting was where you set out to fool people in the pursuit of personal gain?
Fravor seems to be describing a prank..which is exactly the kind of behavior you expect from these boy scout types.
Fravor's account differes from Kevin Day's account when mick West interviewed Kevin Day, and I'm leaning more toward thinking Kevin Day's account is likely more accurate, so while Fravor definitely experienced something, I believe his account is somewhat distorted.

Still fairly convinced he is telling the truth - even becoming a Lazar apologist could be explained by the fact he probably DID see something hard to explain so his eveidential requirement is lower.
You make a good point there, but actually this gets to what Fravor may be grifting us about...maybe he has considered such a possibility and instead of admitting it, he tells us he thinks it was alien, and I'm not convinced he really believes that. I wonder if someone asked him to say he thought it was alien and he was more than happy to pull that prank on us the way he pranked the campers with his UFO hoax.
The fact he never seems to have discussed possibilities of things like LIPF's makes me worry he doesn't know about them.

Lazar said he was fired from his job at the clandestine military base because he brought some friends into the desert near Area 51 one evening to surreptitiously watch a saucer being test flown. A Lincoln County deputy caught the group leaving the area and the deputy ratted Lazar out to the government.
He said he thinks it was "not from this world", that's alien, right?

Im not sure Fravor has ever said he thinks it was Alien - when pushed he just asserts no human technology could do such a thing- which again is possibly a result of that patriotic, assured, "we are the best" mindset you need to fly around in an F18.
"I can tell you, I think it was not from this world," Fravor told ABC News.

I mean really how easy was it for Lazar to bring his friends onto a clandestine military base? Who were these friends and did they ever come forward to testify that Lazar was telling the truth?

I could believe if they were just outside the base fence line looking in the direction Lazar knew his friends would see craft.
But onto the base itself to do the viewing is hard to believe. I’m pretty sure that all the entrances to the base would have had gate guards checking I.D.’s. You just don’t take friends that have no base I.D.’s …at night… on to the base.

Lazar was fired for it. Why would they fire him if they were outside the base just observing the skies?

March 22, 1989: First Wednesday night trip to Tikaboo Valley to view disc test. Observers were RL, Tracy Lazar, Gene Huff and John Lear, using Lear’s RV. Lear was the only one who saw the elliptical shaped light through a telescope and the total sighting lasted about 7 minutes.... (1)
April 7, 1989: RL’s last “work day”. Debriefed at Indian Springs Airfield. (1) RL says he was ordered to report to Indian Springs where he was interrogated about the previous night’s activities. In Good’s book RL says “I was never officially fired and my clearance was never officially taken away”, but that he refused to go back for fear of his safety. In Lindemann’s book RL says “I didn’t actually leave, they denied my clearance.” The reason given for the clearance revocation was the instability of RL’s marriage to Tracy, who RL claims was having an affair with her flight instructor....

Not sure how this turned into a Lazar debate. But according to the Lazar Timeline
He first went out to Tikaboo Valley.

Nor was he ever fired

You apparently don't know the story at all, I thought most people here did. He never brought his friends on the base...they observed from a distant point outside the base.

Right. I'm not surprised you know the details of the case.

Right again.

One hypothesis is TPTB wanted some background miscellaneous UFO reports as cover for sightings of black project testing so people wouldn't take reports of real tests too seriously and would write them off as "just another UFO report". But if people stopped reporting UFOs, or slowed down too much, that "cover" would be reduced, so maybe they didn't like this declining trend?
