Is is easy to say you are scared for your life. That doesn't prove anything. Hey, Bob Lazar says plenty, but he is a proven fabricator. If Bob Lazar says the moon is made of cheese, am I required to take him at his word.
Now if he actually delivered some element 115, it would have proven the story. But alas, Bob is the guy you find ranting in the subway, but unfortunately was given media access for his rants.
This is clearly possible. People who try to paint it all as black and white are just part of the smokescreen.

My thoughts regarding element 115 and how much of it Bob actually had in my opinion could have been just a bluff.
People act like Bob was trying to get famous off of his story but as A51 has stated numerous times, Bob was actually scared for his life and was trying to protect himself.
Most people really tend to forget that!
He may of been trying to scare the government into thinking he had something or (had more) of something that he actually possessed, in this way buying him self time and possibly a bargaining chip to get away with his life.
I think that anyone who had the guts to come out with a story like this must have thought it through, and at least equipped themselves with a "Get out of jail free card"
We can't be certain he lied. Sure, it might look that way but there are other possibilities however unlikely they seem.

That's exactly what Im trying to imply about everything. Just because someone is caught in a lie, doesn't mean all has to be a lie
As I have shown on this thread, that proves NOTHING. I have also shown that you have lied on this site (but the do say it takes one to know one).

FACT 1: A sample of stable element 115 would not prove the story.
If we had a sample of 115 from Lazar it would have shown the element existed in a stable form like Bob said and that he had some. However it still would not prove all of his story anyway. For example, to confirm the craft existed you would have to confirm that by other means (as some researchers did).
FACT 2: The absence of proof is not proof of anything.
In science this would be, "the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." In Scottish law this would be a verdict of "Not Proven." He still might have lied and conversely he still might have told the truth. You have no way of being certain whether the element 115 existed in the absence of proof that it did.
FACT 3: If Lazar's element 115 would not prove his case it's absence can't disprove it.
If Lazar producing stable 115 would not prove his case then to say the opposite proves he was lying is illogical. It may make you suspicious but it is not proof by any standard of logic.
If you admit that you just "think" that there were no non-conventional craft but in fact don't know then I will happily retract my statement that you have lied. Otherwise I will let the readers draw their own conclusions.

The fact that Lazar claimed to have some element 115, but never delivered it to a lab, proves he is a liar. It would have cleared his name. The element 115 is the lynchpin. His story is a house of cards, and without delivering element 115, the house has collapsed.
I'll look at the video later, but I don't hold much hope for anything from UFO TV. They clearly have an agenda, and it is ratings, not truth.
