@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp Corbell: "Uneducated people-- even on the basics facts ..."
Ah, where to begin? How about Mr. Knapp "confid[ing]" that he thinks Lazar lied, and never attended either MIT or Caltech? Too bad that statement didn't make it into your movie, or into Knapp's forward to the new book.
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp In the new "autobiography,"Lazar never mentions Caltech, and mentions MIT only once, on page 23, claiming he was sent there while working at Los Alamos ("[I was] grateful to the folks at MESA for sending me to MIT to further my education . . .”). Impossible timeline, contradicts
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp previous claims to have received Masters from MIT circa 1982 -- before going to work at Los Alamos. Contradicts his deflection in the Corbell film, suggesting Los Alamos would not have hired him with only a high school diploma.
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp Here is Lazar himself, at the International UFO Seminar 5-1-93, a rare occasion in which he was exposed to unregulated questions without an enabler at his side. Asked to name Caltech/MIT profs, he named Duxler as Caltech -- who was his instructor at Pierce Junior College, and
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp "Hohsfield"--even spelled it correctly--as MIT prof. Hohsfield was his high-school tech teacher. Lazar's only degree is from a mail-order mill,closed down shortly thereafter. He is not a physicist. He's a tech guy who fell in with John Lear, decided he could outdo Billy Meier.
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp It seems that Billy Meier was all the rage in Lear-like circles in 1989. Jerome Clark's UFO Encyclopedia 3rd Ed. (2018) says (p. 302), "Purely as a commercial enterprise, Meier's is among the most successful in the history of the contactee movement." Lazar's "scout model" is
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp In Oct. 5 Rogan podcast, Corbell acknowledged Meier guilty of many hoaxes, but suggests that Meier was merely trying to recapture earlier authentic experiences. This makes as much sense as believing that govt. agents could erase Lazar from every Caltech and MIT yearbook, etc.
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp IMO, Corbell here sought to deflect attention from the strong Meier influence on Lazar's original story. One of many efforts, in the film and the new book, to polish up the original Lazar story, often through screaming omissions, but also conscious or unconscious revisions.
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp Much more could be said about the new Lazar book, and no doubt will be, in due course. But let's turn for a moment to "Element 115." Lazar claimed the alien craft employed a heavy element with multiple extraordinary properties. Corbell-Knapp claim that the later creation of
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp Element 115 in the lab supports Lazar's claim. This is nonsense. First of all -- and this will come as a surprise to many-- Kid Lazar was not even sure how many protons his magical element had! He said: "I was the one who identified 115. That was
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp my only contribution to the project. And I don't stand on the fact that it's 115, but if it's not, it's 114. It's right in there." (interview with author Michael Lindemann, Sept. 22, 1990.) Second, lab work on such heavy-element creations was described in a prominent article
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp in Scientific American in May, 1989 -- the very month that Lazar first told his story to George Knapp. So the lab creation of Element 115 was predicted-- but no isotope yet created has a half-life of even one second.
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp Yes, it is theoretically possible that a stable isotope of 115 could exist -- but why speculate? In his 2014 Denmark speech, Mr. Knapp said he knew where an actual sample of the stable 115 isotope (with its multiple, magical properties) is located! Mr. Knapp said:
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp - and this absolute physical proof is not in a deep-black government SAP, but at a hidden site known to Mr. Knapp -- and presumably, known to Bob Lazar. I'm sure many readers will agree this is the perfect time for them to turn it over to an independent lab for analysis.
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp I fear, however, that such analysis would show that Knapp's trust in the magical 115 sample was no more well founded that that of Bob Bigelow, many years ago. As Jacques Vallee wrote in 1997: "Bob [Bigelow] once created a company with Bob Lazar, the Zeta Reticuli Corporation,
@UfoIssue @mjbanias@JeremyCorbell@mvtatertot@SilvaRecord@MadScientistPod@VICE@g_knapp to exploit the wondrous supposed properties of Element 115. Lazar exhibited a substance that was light, foam-like, and almost weightless, hinting it would revolutionize energy and propulsion. The cooperation only lasted until the day when Bob [Bigelow] noticed

CONGRESS UPDATE:
U.S. SENATE PASSES MULTIPLE
UAP/UFO MEASURES
1) The U.S. Senate today (July 27, 2023) passed a National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), 86-11, that contains multiple and far-reaching provisions related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP/UFOs). https://t.co/R5VHaBmtS1twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2) The Senate added the entire Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA) to the FY 2024 NDAA, including UAP-related provisions earlier approved by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (with some revisions).
3) After approving the final NDAA-IAA package under the bill number H.R. 2670, the Senate sent it to a conference committee with the House of Representatives. There was only one minor UAP-related provision in the NDAA version that the House passed on July 14.
1/25) Deep-dive research by @SignalsIntelUFO shows that in 1980, Bob Lazar married a woman 16 years his senior, Carol, previously convicted of 2nd-degree murder for armed assistance to Hells Angels in committing a brutal slaying. Why is this pertinent? medium.com/@signalsintell…
2/25) The Knapp-Corbell fable of Bob Lazar, senior physicist, is very far removed from the sordid realities of the life of a serial scam artist during the 1980s, as revealed by research of Tom Mahood in the 1990s, and now in many interviews and document finds by @SignalsIntelUFO.
3/25) Lazar has claimed that he was granted a "Q" security clearance (equivalent to Top Secret) less than two years after his wedding, to work on secret stuff at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Lazar was not actually employed by LANL. Rather, he worked briefly AT the facility for

1/11) A PROPOSAL NASA WILL SURELY DECLINE: @JeremyCorbell is promoting a column by The Toronto Star's "pop culture columnist," @vinaymenon. Menon suggests that the recently constituted NASA UAP study team should bring on Bob Lazar as a consultant, asserting that #ufotwitter
2/11) "nothing Lazar said has ever been disproven," and "the man is a brilliant scientist." In the real world, however, Lazar is no scientist at all, but a man with only a high-school diploma, who brazenly fabricated claims to have earned Masters degrees from CalTech and MIT.
3/11) Lazar possesses some modest technical skills, and a disarming matter-of-fact manner of peddling manifest bullshit. Each remarkable claim collapses under critical investigation. Neither Lazar nor his promoters submit to sustained questioning or debate with informed skeptics.
1/13) The "United States Department of Naval Intelligence," an agency Bob Lazar claimed employed him for captive-UFO studies in 1988-89, has never existed, two key authorities on Navy intelligence history (both former 2-star admirals, one now the Navy's head historian) told me.
2/13) Bob Lazar, in muddled and conflicting statements, has claimed that a 1989 W-2 form from the IRS proved that he had worked for a "United States Department of Naval Intelligence." Lazar promotors such as Jeremy Corbell have made much of the document. #ufotwitter #BobLazar
3/13) But in a 10-19-22 email, Samuel J. Cox, Director of the U.S. Navy's Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), told me no such organization ever existed. "There has been no Department of Naval Intelligence, either external or internal to the Department of the Navy."
