What exactly does Lazar get right?

It's not the lies that we should be focusing on or 'debunking" him. It's the weird coincidences, incidents and government hijinks that have me thinking there IS something behind bob Lazar.
Los Alamos is a big one. The government said he never worked there at all, ever. George Knapp found proof of bob in their personel directory.
Lazar took people out to see test flights when he said there would be test flights at area 51. How did he know?

A contactor confirmed he saw Lazar at Los Alamos.

The question is not whether Lazar is lying, he's not, as his demeanour makes obvious, the fact his story never changed since day 1 and he passed 2 lie detector tests. The real question is was Bob used for disinformation, the one problem I have with his story is he was hired will the full knowledge he was an acquaintance with John Lear. If I was hiring him on the most secret project in the US that would be a massive red flag, unless I wanted him to leak something....

What did he get wrong? The dirt road to Papoose from Groom? (Which no one would have known exists in 1989), test flight times for the sports model? The knowledge of blacked out school buses, JANET flights, allergen tests, hand contour readers, the interior of Area 51 cafeteria, the buddy system, Wackenhut security procedures? EG&G recruitment procedures? All in 1989?
I don't think someone could make all that up from scratch. Could they be fed it on purpose? Sure. But I think Lazar tells it as he sees it. He has admitted himself he might have been used.

There is no evidence Bob worked for EG&G. Technically he never worked for LANL. He was a contractor there.

While I agree with you for the most part, his name in the Los Alamos phone directory of employees and his pay stub or W2 lends credibility if nothing else. It doesn't exactly prove anything either.

You mean like a debunker who doesn't know that Gravity and Electromagnetism are two completely different entities?

I do however, believe that Bob had a tendency to build himself up with white lies, like Caltech and MIT. I feel that though he is extremely intelligent, he was more of a loner at this, and only lied to bolster his own perceived expert status. When you study all of his life, you see a clearer picture of him emerge. Sadly, this propensity for falsifying such credentials makes it easy for folks to dismiss his claims. I'd normally agree with the skeptics on it, but having spoken with him, and learned so much about the guy (and with my own knowledge of how the defense contractors work from simply growing up with my father doing it), I just can't dismiss him out of hand.
God help me, but I honestly believe he was sincere in his story.
