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.
4/11) The notion of NASA consulting a felon who for 33 years has impersonated a scientist, and who with his collaborators perpetrates a claim to possession of a gravity-defeating alien isotope that he won't cough up, is laughable on its face. #boblazar
5/11) When Lazar met @g_knapp in 1989, Lazar was a recently bankrupt photoshop guy who'd held a couple low-level tech jobs. He snookered Knapp with his tall tale of having worked on a govt project with 9 captive alien craft, at least one craft operative. otherhand.org/home-page/area…
6/11) Menon, in his apparently invincible ignorance, seems to think Lazar's UFO-related descriptions were unprecedented, and therefore that later developments prove Lazar's story. In fact, Lazar's tales borrowed heavily from decades of UFO literature, both real and fictional.
7/11) Knapp & Corbell have often claimed Lazar controls a sample of a gravity-defeating alien isotope of Element 115--but alas, in 33 years, time never ripe to share the proof-positive of alien tech (& of Lazar's story) with independent analysts. Knapp shown in 6-15-22 interview.
8/11) After snookering Knapp in 1989, Lazar went on to plead guilty to a felony in a brothel scam (conviction later reaffirmed). He's had other encounters with the law in more recent years. All these episodes have been smoothed over or fictionalized in douglasjohnson.ghost.io/bob-lazar-and-…
9/11) accounts by Lazar and his promoters; their sanitized narratives have collapsed under independent scrutiny. With respect to his UFO-alien stories, Lazar has contradicted himself on innumerable points large and small; as a liar, he is sloppy, lazy. vice.com/en/article/evj…
10/11) Many of Lazar's specific extravagant claims have been well debunked (e.g., to have been employed by ultra-secret "Department of Naval Intelligence," held a security clearance "33 levels above Q clearance, which is the highest civilian clearance").
11/11) In 33 years, no real evidence has emerged that the government possesses or knows about 9 intact captive alien craft-- no documents, no participants, no admission to Congress. Yet Knapp said in June, 2022, that he thinks the program still exists. This is tinfoil-hat stuff.

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."
1/11) JUST RELEASED: The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) has released its explanatory report (No. 117-132) on S. 4503, the Intelligence Authorization Act. As I reported July 14 (see my pinned tweet), S. 4503 contains 31 pages of proposed new UAP-related provisions.
2/11) In the report, SSCI rebukes the DoD for slow response. "At a time when cross-domain transmedium threats to U.S. national security are expanding exponentially, the Committee is disappointed with the slow pace of DoD-led efforts to establish" the UAP office/mission set in the
3/11) NDAA enacted Dec. 2021. The three new UAP provisions proposed in S. 4503 are meant "to accelerate progress." (Note: SSCI adopted this report just before the Pentagon issued July 20 release announcing the selection of Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick as director for the office, etc.)
1/7) CONGRESS UPDATE: A huge government-wide spending bill unveiled 3-8-22, on a fast track to enactment, incorporates (as Division X) the long-delayed Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA) for FY 2022. This includes a UAP provision that was written before formulation #UFOTwitter
2/7) of the new "Gillibrand-Rubio-Gallego" UAP law (Sec. 1683 of Public Law 117-81), enacted 12-27-21. The IAA provision would NOT remove or nullify any UAP requirement of PL 117-81, but imposes two new requirements on the Dept. of Defense and Director of National Intelligence.
3/7) First, the IAA provision would require that all DoD and Intelligence Community components provide UAP data "immediately" not only to the central UAP office (now called the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group, AOIMSG), as required by PL 117-81,
BREAKING: Just-released text of FY 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA),H.R. 4350, already approved by the U.S. House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, contains a 571-word section to impose new obligations on DoD regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).
H.R. 4350 was approved by the full House Armed Services Committee on Sept. 2, 2021, by a 57-2 vote, but text has only now been made public. The House committee's UAP-related requirements differ from those contained in a proposed Intelligence Authorization Act (S. 2610),
approved by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in July. The two bills are not in direct conflict, but they take somewhat different approaches--the House language has more detailed substantive requirements on some points, but requires less frequent reports to Congress.
(1) @JeremyCorbell on "Talk Radio with Howard Hughes," 5-23-21: "Everything Bob Lazar has said has stood the test of time for over 30 years." Real world: After 32 years, there is a mountain of evidence that Lazar (fake scientist, felon) is a liar, but zero real evidence the
govt. has 9 intact alien craft, or that Lazar has alien super-powered "115" isotope as claimed. Each Corbell-Knapp "Bob predicted" claim collapses when examined. (2) Ex-Sen. Harry Reid said this month he doesn't believe the U.S. has alien debris-- that he's heard such #ufotwitter
stories only from "conspiratorialists," not "credible." Yet the Lazar-Knapp-Corbell story is that the govt. had 9 intact alien craft by 1988, and even a decade or more earlier. (3) Corbell: "Bob Lazar told us about these craft and how they operate in 1989." Corbell, in his
a broadcaster who for over 30 years has promoted the controversial claims of felon Bob Lazar to have worked on a secret government program studying captive alien spaceships, today threw new fuel on the fire by abandoning his previous claim to know the exact location of a sample
of an alien-manufactured isotope that is said to have uncanny powers to manipulate time and space. Knapp, whose Twitter handle is @g_knapp, has for 32 years promoted and shaped the tales of Lazar, who Knapp first brought to public attention in 1989. Lazar, then age 30, claimed
