ParaNet Information Service (Denver, CO)--This evening saw
perhaps an unprecedented event in UFOlogy. KLAS-TV in Las Vegas,
Nevada has been airing a UFO special during the evening news
which began on Monday dealing with the UFO mystery and cover-up.
The series, which has been covered by ParaNet, began its coverage
with a history of UFOs beginning in the late 1940s and moving
forward through the numerous sighting reports to the cattle
mutilations, which was aired last evening. As promised at the
close of last evening's show, George Knapp, a news anchorman for
Channel 8 in Vegas, stated that a scientific person would be
featured on tonight's program who has claimed to work at Area 51,
the government's super-secret test range at Nellis AFB in Nevada.
Indeed, quite a story was told by Robert Lazar, a physicist who
claimed that he had worked on a project at Area 51 involving
flying disks provided by alien intelligences.
Over the last year, ParaNet has carried stories relating to
possible involvement with the government in projects of this
nature at the Nevada test site. Up to now, the stories have been
of a very speculative nature. Although the material presented by
Robert Lazar remains unconfirmed, enough information has been
disclosed that ParaNet's large investigative staff in Nevada has
started an intensive investigation into this release. It is
interesting to note that Robert Lazar is an associate of John
Lear and has been providing this information to Lear over the
last few months. Lear has appeared on Channel 8 on numerous
occasions together will Bill Cooper discussing Lear's famous 'ET
Hypothesis.' According to Lear, Lazar was instrumental in
providing Lear with locations overlooking the test site which
would provide a good view of the objects as they flew into the
night sky. Lear attempted to shoot video of an object as it
maneuvered through the night sky during last summer, however
nothing was captured on the tape of a substantive nature. Lear
also relates that his group was harassed by a Lincoln County
sheriff following his attempts to take the pictures.
Below is a transcript of the program that aired this
evening. All paragraphs out of quotes are the narrator of the
segment. We were as accurate as possible on the transcription,
however there are a couple of places where comments were edited
out due to inability to understand what was being said.
Further reports will be provided as information becomes
available.
=================================================================

We've been working on the story for some time....UFO
researchers claim that there is a secret government within our
government. Now this may be hard to believe coming from the UFO
perspective, but we have learned that Watergate and the Iran
Contra scandal that factions within our government can and do
pursue their own hidden agendas outside of the law; outside the
control of the Congress or the knowledge of the American people.
This is exactly the type of operation that we hear about tonight.
It's a chilling scenario with worldwide implications that may
have its roots right here [Las Vegas, Nevada].
Area 51, that mysterious corner of the Nevada Test Site, is
no longer considered a secret. The fact that secretive things
go on here isn't evident; even to the Soviets who make daily spy
flights over the facility to take a peek at what's going on.
These photos, never before shown in public, are about as close as
anyone will ever come to seeing what the place looks like again.
The dry bed at Groom Lake, the corrugated buildings, a three-mile
long runway and some highly sophisticated radar and detection
equipment. Its been known by many names over the years --
Dreamland; The Ranch; The Skunk Works. If ever there was a place
to test the secret new technology, this is it. And that's
exactly what has been done here for decades.
Area 51 is where Francis Gary Powers and the other U-2
pilots were trained in the 50s. And, where the U-2 itself was
developed. The SR-71 spy plane that spotted Soviet missiles in
Cuba in the early 60s were also developed at 51. 51 is where
Stealth technology was nurtured, where Star Wars devices are
still tested, and where all manner of CIA [unknown] business has
been plotted and refined. It's the perfect place for secret
things, but of course, that's no secret. 51 is ringed by the
forbidden vastness of the Nevada test site; by the looming Groom
Mountain and by sparsely populated desert expanses. But the
people that do live out here have no love lost for the military,
but they're conservative, patriotic and they mind their own
business.

With two top local TV stations here in Las Vegas -- KLAS-TV and KTNV-TV -- carrying deadly serious news reports this week of real alien UFOs POSSIBLY being flown out of the supersecret Area 51, that portion of the U.S. Government's Nevada Test Site which the Air Force refuses to acknowledge as even existing, the situation here appears like The War of the Worlds. Disinformation? Reality?
What next?
At KTNV-TV, photographer Clay Downey and reporter Glen Meek are tracking down the nature of the on-going projects at Area 51. Off-air, Meek says he has discovered that Area 51 is comprised of four sections. Of those, he has learned the type of activity occurring at two of them. He has been having much

difficulty learning the type of activity occurring at the other two.
KTNV will broadcast reports this week at 5:30 p.m. Wed., Thurs, & Fri.
In a videotape presented by KLAS-TV newsman George Knapp, a UFO performs abrupt

manuevers over what may be the "S-4" portion of Area 51 at the Test Site. Knapp's final report will be broadcast tonight, Tuesday at approximately 6:15 p.m.
Knapp's star witness is scientist Robert Lazar, who drew a picture of the craft

he saw operating at the base.
Lazar emphatically claims these are alien craft -- not human-made devices. Lazar says at least one UFO appeared to have been ruptured by a projectile.
War of the Worlds?

November 13, 1989

ParaNet Information Service (Denver, CO) -- In our
continuing coverage of the remarkable revelations coming out of
Las Vegas, Nevada, here is the next installment to the program
aired on November 13, 1989 by television station KLAS-TV and
George Knapp.

=================================================================
News Anchor persons:
A former government scientist has alleged that the U.S.
military is flying recovered UFOs at a secret base in the Nevada
desert. The allegations about the secret facility near the Groom
Mountains first surfaced on Eyewitness News on last Friday
[November 10, 1989].
Scientist Bob Lazar says that there are at least nine of the
flying saucers being tested and that they were not built on
Earth. George Knapp has more on the continuation of our series
on UFOs.

Lazar: "Yeah. It was obvious it came from somewhere else, uh,
other than Earth."

Scientist Bob Lazar was convinced that the technology he saw
being tested at a secret base in the Nevada desert is of alien
origin, and for Lazar the proof is, at least, partially in the
furniture. One of the nine flying disks he says he saw at the
base, which was designated S-4, looks exactly like this UFO
photographed in Europe [Photo of UFO shown]. Lazar called it
the "sport model."

Lazar: "I gave everything names -- the top hat one and you know
the jello mold and, uh, the sport model operated without any
hitches at all. I mean, it looked new. If I knew what a new
flying saucer looked like. One of them looked like it was hit
with some sort of a projectile. It had a large hole in the
bottom and a large hole in the top with the metal bent out like
some sort of, you know, large caliber 4 or 5 inch had gone
through it."

Even before he saw the sport model operate, Lazar says, he
suspected that the ship came from somewhere else. The
realization slapped him in the face the first time he glimpsed
the inside of the disk.

Lazar: "I got to look inside and it had really small chairs. I
think that was the first confirmation I had. That was just a
shocking thing because everytime before that I was able to label
it. This is just a little advance that a group of scientists had
formed and, you know, they're keeping it secret, and yeah, we
could have built a big disk like that, and yeah, that's no
problem, and, you know, we could have adapted the use(?) to make
it fly, but why does it have little furniture inside? [garbled].
And things began to click together just all too fast."

A few of the disks had been completely dismantled to find
out how they worked, Lazar says, but others were fully
operational. A Japanese TV network created this animated version
of Lazar's story after his first interview with us aired in May
[showing video]. Lazar says the dramatization is similar to a
test flight he witnessed.

Lazar: "The bottom of it glowed blue and began to hiss like any,
like high voltage does on a round sphere. It's my impression
that the reason that they're round and have no sharp edges is to
contain the high voltage like, uh, if you've seen a high voltage
system's insulators -- things are round or else you get a corona
discharge. In either case, it began to hiss as in high voltage
and it lifted off the ground quietly except for that little hiss
in the background, and that stopped as soon as it reached about
20 or 30 feet."

Lazar says the test of the sport model was a short one --
that it made only a few moves before setting back down. He
didn't see who was actually flying the craft, but was very
impressed, nonetheless.

Lazar: "Well, there's no action reaction system to it. There's
no, like in a jet engine, exhaust gas being thrown out -- no
propeller, no noise. It's just, for all intents and purposes,
magic."

To Lazar's knowledge, the flying disks are not being used,
for say, any flights to Jupiter. He said excessive caution and
intense secrecy contributed to the plodding pace of the program
and were a main source of his disenchantment.

Lazar: "It's just unfair, outright, not to put it in the hands
of the overall scientific community. There are people much more
capable of dealing with this information, and by this time would
have gotten a lot further along than this small select group of
people working out in the middle of the desert. They don't even
have the facilities, really, to completely analyze what they're
dealing with."

Gene Huff: "Well he was being quiet. If he kept me abreast of
anything, he kept me abreast of the security checks -- they'd
randomly drop by his house. They'd threaten his life; they'd
threaten his wife's life. They had done all that so we really
didn't converse, I mean, he really was adhering to the program."

Gene Huff is a Las Vegas real estate appraiser. A regular
guy who just happens to have a friend in the flying saucer
business. He learned about Lazar's S-4 experiences only after a
long period. Lazar is anxious for people to know that he didn't
just run right out and spill the secrets of the universe, and
that some things are properly kept confidential.

Lazar: "I did not believe that this should be a security matter.
Some of it, sure. But, just the concept that there's definite
proof, and uh, we even have articles from another world, another
system, you just can't not tell everyone. A lot of people don't
believe that. But, I do."

When he reached what he felt was his bursting point, he took
Huff and a few others to the edge of the Groom Mountains to see
the flights for themselves. A total of five witnesses on two
consecutive weeks managed to dodge security patrols long enough
to see the strange glowing object lift above the mountain.

Huff(?): "Uh, it came up above the same mountain. It moved
around. It did a step move -- it actually went up in the air
like this [showing details with hands] and it hovered then
dropped way down then it just floated around and cruised around.
It starts coming up the mountain range...."

This home video tape was recorded during one of the trips to
the Groom Mountains [showing video tape. A lot of talking....Object in sight....Mention of brightness of the
object....].
Admittedly, the tape proves very little by itself because,
with the distance and darkness, there are no reference points
other than the alleged flying disk, but Lazar's information about
the time and location of the test flight proves correct -- not
once but twice. That, according to our off-camera interviews
with each of the other witnesses. Gene Huff describes his second
sighting:

Huff: "Through the telescope we could see an elliptical-shaped
light. You can only get so close even with a telescope to a
secure facility. Anyway, it came up by us very rapidly. It
glowed and glows brighter like a star and we almost got the
feeling that it was going to explode, it glowed so brightly. We
backed up behind the car then it went down and glowed back up a
little bit and then very softly glided back over, back where the
mountains where it came up, hovered for awhile, and then that's
that....Just like you see in the movies."

Bob Lazar isn't the only person to claim "inside knowledge"
of the flying disks at the test site -- he is just the only
person to say so publicly. We have communicated with several
people who say they know of the saucer program. A technician in
a highly sensitive position told us it is "common knowledge among
those with high security clearances that recovered alien disks
are stored at the Nevada test site." A Las Vegas professional,
who once served in the military and was stationed at the test
site, said he saw a flying disk land outside the boundaries of
Area 51 -- that it was quickly surrounded by security personnel
and that he was taken away and debriefed for several hours. A
man who once worked at Groom Lake as a technician, at our
request, wrote this letter explaining how he inadvertently walked
into the wrong hangar and saw what appeared to be a large
metallic disk under a tarp. It was being examined by men in lab
coats. And, an airman who worked at Nellis at a radar
installation says he and his fellow servicemen watched over a
period of five nights, unusual objects flying over the Groom
Mountains. He says the radar images indicates the objects zoomed
into range at speeds of 7,000 miles per hour and then would stop
on a dime, and that nothing we have is capable of doing that.
The airman says that when word of his sighting got out, he was
ordered to turn off his radar sensors for that area and told to
keep quiet about the matter because it did not happen.
None of this means that the military is actually flying
alien spacecraft in the Nevada desert. It could all perhaps be
explained as some other secret program. Lazar insists that's not
the case.
We put the matter to the U.S. Navy, which according to
Lazar, is running the saucer show. Four different naval offices
were contacted. All denied having any information in their
files. The Naval Research Lab said it conducted a thorough
search but found "zip." Naval Intelligence said much the same
thing, adding, it is not required to create a file where one
doesn't exist. A side note: We also requested files on a UFO
sighting over Tremonton, Utah in 1952. The Navy spent more than
a thousand hours studying film of that sighting -- a fact that's
been noted in several publications -- but, for purposes of our
request, the Navy couldn't find those files either.

Lazar: "The group that runs this project, whether it really is
the Navy or they just say that, apparently these people have
executive power -- they don't report to anyone."

Tomorrow, more troubling allegations of the military
potential of alien technology.

------------------------------------------------
November 14, 1989

ParaNet Information Service (Denver, CO) -- In our
continuing coverage of the Riddle of Area 51, here is yet another
installment of the KLAS-TV program being aired in Las Vegas,
Nevada featuring Bob Lazar, who has 'come out of the closet' so
to speak with information regarding government testing of UFOs.

=================================================================

Just over this ridge [showing a photo of Area 51], tucked
inside the test tubes of a hidden government base, the secrets of
the universe may be unfolding. The area is designated S-4, and
according to one man who claims to have worked there, S-4 harbors
scientific achievements that would astonish our deepest
thinkers. It is technology that, if it exists, could change the
world, but is allegedly bottled up by military minds.

Lazar: "It's not an overall government project. It's not
something that Congress appropriates money for. 2 billion is for
this; 15 billion for flying saucers; 8 billion for Star Wars. It
doesn't go like that. I don't believe that they have any
knowledge of it at all."

The technology that Bob Lazar says he saw extends far beyond
flying saucers. An anti-matter reactor allows the spaceships to
produce their own gravitational fields, he says, such a
technology, if real, would answer UFO skeptics who argue that
aliens could never visit Earth because the distances between
worlds are too great, even at the speed of light.

Lazar: "Gravity distorts time and space. Just like if you had a
water bed and put a bowling ball in the middle. It warps it down
like that -- that's exactly what happens to space. Imagining
that you were in a spacecraft that could exert a tremendous
gravitational field by itself you could sit on any particular
place and turn on the gravity generator and actually warp space
and time, and fold it. By shutting that off, you'd click back
and you'd be a tremendous distance from where you were but time
would not have even moved because you essentially shut it off. I
mean it is so far fetched, people....it's difficult for people to
grasp, and as stubborn as the scientific community is they'll
never buy it, but this is, in fact, that's just what happens."

Actually, Lazar's explanation is very close to mainstream
scientific thought, and can be traced directly to Einstein. The
difference is scientists regard it as theory only. There is much
that science still doesn't know.

Dale Etheridge (Scientist): "There are people who say that our
main problem with that is we don't know what gravity is. It's
this magical force that acts at a distance. We can describe how
it behaves -- that's what the law of gravity is -- it's just a
description of how it behaves, but it says nothing about what
gravity really is."


We'll use Etheridge as our barometer of scientific thought.
He says we cannot produce gravity; that there's no such thing as
a working anti-matter reactor, and that we have yet to figure out
a way to get around the speed of light. He also concedes,
though, such things are possible.

Etheridge: "Yeah. And really we don't know what's possible as
there could be other civilizations out there several hundred
years or so -- a thousand years, even a million years ahead of
us -- that have found a way to circumvent this. We have no way
of knowing for sure."

Lazar: "Well, the thing is when you harness gravity, you harness
everything. It's the missing piece in physics right now. We
really know very little about gravity."

At least that's the way it used to be. Lazar says the
technology to harness gravity not only exists but is being tested
at S-4. And, if such technology is beyond human capabilities, it
must have come from someplace else. It's more than conjecture,
he says, because he also saw an element that cannot be found on
the periodic chart. The element, called 115, can be stored in
lead casings much like this one [showing a lead circular
container]. Lazar says the government has 500 pounds of it, and
it cannot be made on earth.

Lazar: "It would be almost impossible; well, it is impossible to
synthesize an element that heavy here on Earth."

Interviewer: "At least right now."

Lazar: "I don't think that you can ever synthesize it. The
amount of....you essentially have to assemble it by bombarding it
with protons if....atom by atom, it would take an infinite amount
of power and an infinite amount of time. The substance has to
come from a place where super-heavy elements could have been
produced naturally.

And what sort of place is that?

Lazar: "Next to a much larger sun where there would be greater
mass. Maybe a binary star system -- a super-nova -- somewhere
where there is just a bigger release of energy to synthesize
these things naturally. It has to be a naturally occurring
element."

115 is the fuel for the anti-matter reactors, he says. By
bombarding 115 anti-matter is produced. A kilo of anti-matter
could produce the energy equivalent of 46 ten-megaton hydrogen
bombs, and comparing the energy potential of anti-matter to, say,
the Hoover Dam would be like comparing planets to grains of sand.
115 could also make one heck of a bomb.

Lazar: "We're talking about hundreds and hundreds of megatons
off a small piece of it. It sounds incredible, but total
conversion of matter to energy would release that amount of
power. And it isn't that difficult to take....get the energy out
of it. So it's not something you'd ever want to fall anyone's
hands."

The dangers associated with 115 and anti-matter may be the
reason Lazar was hired to work at S-4. There was an accident, he
says, back in April 1987. An accident that was passed off as an
unannounced nuclear test.

Lazar: "Some people got killed. I was told flat out I was one
of the people that were to replace these guys."

Is this why the government might be keeping the whole matter
a secret? Because of the military potential of alien technology?
Lazar says he believes the Soviet Union was once part of our
research on the flying disks, but that the U.S. kicked the
Soviets out after making some sort of discovery. He also
believes the program at S-4 is operated with funds allocated to
Star Wars research, but says he can't prove it. Some UFO
researchers suspect the government is test flying alien craft so
that it can one day master the technology and claim it was made
in the good old U.S.A., thus obscuring the possibility of alien
visitations.

Stanton T. Friedman: "I think they have the duty to inform us.
At least to the bare bones of what's going on. I don't want
technological stuff put out on the table. I mean, I worked on
classified projects for 15 years, and I don't think we need
another weapon's delivery system. But I think the government
does have the responsibility to release information that, indeed,
the planet is being visited. Probably it should be done in
conjunction with the Soviets."

Lazar: "I don't think that it will get to that level. They're
not going to have a fleet of them and fly them around and....I
don't think you need to do that. If you're looking at them from
a weapons point of view, you're looking at an incredibly powerful
device. You only need one to operate. You don't ever need to
come public with it. You may want to learn more about it should
it ever break which is....might be what they're doing. Uh...."

Interviewer: "They've got one...."

Lazar: "Oh, they've got a few. Yeah."

Lazar is the first to admit that his story is tough to
swallow. He submitted to polygraph exams that opened up
sensitive parts of his personal life, and fully expects to be
ridiculed or perhaps punished for his revelations. His desire to
explain what really happened at S-4 took us to Layne Keck, a
licensed experienced hypnotherapist who quietly and privately
tried to help Lazar remember details of the many briefing papers
he says he read.

Keck: "I have no clue as to what we were getting to, and he
started saying that there were pictures of what I thought was
desks on the wall. Well as it turned out, it was disks that he
was referring to. And, at that moment, I realized we were into
something that was pretty heavy."

Keck does not exaggerate his claims for hypnosis. He
regards it as a useful tool for uncovering some lost memory. He
says people are quite capable of lying under hypnosis, but says
the technique can be of help in determining truth. What's his
opinion of Lazar's truthfulness?

Keck: "It tells me that his subconscious mind believes totally
all of these things."

Lazar has long suspected that his government employers used
some sort of mind control technique to prevent him from
disclosing too much about S-4. While he says he has vivid
conscious memories of the saucers and other technology there were
other memories, that even now, remained locked, which is why he
sought out Keck in the first place. Keck is convinced that
someone really did mess with Lazar's head.

Keck: "Also they used primitive fear in threatening those in his
environment if he did bring this information forth. Also, it
appears that maybe there were some chemicals used."

Lazar: "Nah, I'm not going to change anyone's mind. That not my
intention. I'm just relaying the experience. The job that I
went through. It is a fantastic thing. It's a fantastic story.
I can't take people there to show them what was going on, and uh,
you know, I don't expect anyone to believe it."

What if he is right? What if aliens are here? How would
this change our view of the world? Our most fundamental beliefs,
which is religion? We'll know more on that tomorrow.

The time for the KLAS-TV (Channel 8), Las Vegas, report is Saturday, November 25, 1989, 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The program is titled, "UFOs: The Evidence." Producer George Knapp says it will include the substance as well as

updates of material recently broadcast as the nine-part series, "UFOs: The Best Evidence." (Incidentally, each of those nine parts was approximately 15 minutes, not one hour.)
Knapp also says that while he is personally interested in more UFO material about Area 51, there is no more budget at his station to pursue it. This contrasts with his on-air statement last week at the end of the ninth segment of the series, to the effect that the Area 51/S-4/Robert Lazar/recovered alien vehicles investigation is continuing; also earlier in the series, he had said that this was only the beginning, that the investigation is "by no means" over.

Theoretical physicist Robert Lazar and his friend, Las Vegas realtor, Gene
Huff -- in-studio guests on "Billy Goodman's Happening" live talk
show, KVEG 840-AM Radio, 10:00 p.m. 11/21/89 until 1:00 a.m.
11/22/89 -- answered questions for three hours.

These notes were compiled from 10:20 p.m., thus missing 20 minutes
(10:00 - 10:20 p.m.) of the three-hour program.

Lazar says he is tired.

1. Lazar's Purpose In Going On-Air:
Although Lazar's main stated purpose in appearing on the broadcast is to protect himself, caller Bill Cooper says one of Lazar's motives is
anger -- previously expressed privately to Cooper -- that billions of
dollars are needlessly wasted in the normal U.S. sectors by those without access to this alien technology. Lazar agrees.

Lazar says another reason for his appearing is to correct incorrect
information he had heard on previous broadcasts.

Billy Goodman says Lazar's, Bill Cooper's, and John Lear's lives are on
the line and that Lazar's best protection is the media, which is keeping
Lazar alive.

Lazar hopes "other people out there" working at S-4 will loosen up, come forward, and join with him to present their information as one, as a
group. He doesn't want to be "the lone ranger."

Congressional amnesty -- suggested by a caller -- would be nice, says
Lazar, but merely offers freedom from prosecution. By coming forward,
he concedes, the other S-4 workers have everything to lose and nothing
to gain.

But Huff says there has to be a moral guideline where national security
has to hang in the balance and that the reporting of the existence of
alien spaceships is where you draw the line.

Caller Bill Cooper says there is "a higher value" that those at S-4
should consider as a reason for coming forward to join Lazar.

But Lazar makes a point of distinguishing his whole view of the UFO
situation from that of John Lear or Bill Cooper.

2. Verification of Lazar's Background:
Lazar says he worked at S-4 -- a "restrained military environment"
in Nevada -- from 12/88 to 4/89.

In response to callers who want independently to check up on Lazar,
he says his "colorful" background has already been checked by George
Knapp of KLAS-TV, who had traveled to Los Alamos Laboratories and
had spoken to former Lazar colleagues, who confirmed he really had
worked there -- in spite of Los Alamos itself denying the fact of
Lazar's employment with them. (Knapp's UFO broadcast displayed a
page from a 1982 Los Alamos Labs internal phone book, listing Robert
Lazar.)

Caller Bill Cooper, who says he has talked to Lazar for over a year,
says that by talking to persons at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory and at
another facility, he and associates have confirmed Lazar's previous
work in physics at the places Lazar specified. Lazar replied he was not
aware of this checking done by Cooper.

Responding to an "investigator" caller wanting Lazar to give him private
info in order to check him out, Lazar says Lazar himself once took a correspondence course to be a private "investigator."

Lazar says he has 25 people each wanting independently to check him out,
but he will not allow that.

Although Lazar admits he was paid by check, he refuses to discuss anything about the check stubs.

contractor -- has people at S-4, that those persons' clearances are at
most Q-Clearances, while his own clearance is "38 levels above Q-Clearance." The closest to S-4 that REECO or EG&G people physically get, he says,
is Area 51.

4. Threats Made to Lazar/Lazar Shot At?
When Goodman refers to Lazar's telling him before the broadcast that
Lazar had been shot at, Lazar says he doesn't want to talk about it.

Lazar says he was called to go back to work but officially refused
because he didn't like the idea of returning to that isolated place
in the desert where they could do what they wanted to him.
However, he says his clearance has not been revoked.

Lazar says the executive powers at S-4 have run amok and there are no
checks and balances. Congress, he says, has no knowledge of all this.
Lazar says there are no lengths to which the military will not go to
conceal this information.

5. Mind Control Suspicions:
He contacted hypnotherapist Layne Keck of Serenus Clinical Hypnosis in
Las Vegas because there were a couple of days where Lazar remembered
only going out in a plane and coming back, but nothing in between.
He suspected mind control had been performed on him.

Lazar purposely selected Serenus because it had nothing to do with UFOs.
[A Las Vegas Yellow Pages ad says:

Drinking, Memory Retention

Under hypnosis, Lazar recalled intense drilling, threatening actions
taken against him, and his drinking of "pine," which his hypnotherapist
said was similar to the "Orion [sp?] Method" of regimented hypnosis used
by the military.

Per Huff, Lazar was given drugs and hypnosis by his employers -- not so
he would forget what he was working on, but so -- by their imprinting
his subconscious -- he would be afraid to talk.

Per Huff, after first telling Lazar his phone was tapped, the military
later threatened him because, having monitored his phone, they knew he
was planning to release information about the alien craft. Huff says
the military were amazed that the drugs and hypnosis had not worked.

Although he is afraid, Lazar hopes they won't come after him now since he
has already talked.

6. Location of the Saucers:
Lazar says the nine saucers are not at the supersecret Area 51
(Groom Lake) of the U.S. government's Nevada Test Site, but at S-4 --
10 miles south of Area 51. The disks are only at this one place.
However, to go to work, Lazar flew (by plane) to Groom Lake, waited a
short time at a cafe, then got on a bus [with blacked-out windows,
per Lazar's Knapp-series statements].

Lazar says he knows someone who drills tunnels at the Test Site, but
no mention is made that this individual also works at S-4.

7. Bad Aliens Killed S-4 Workers:
Lazar says the aliens are not benevolent.

Some humans were killed in a conflict after a U.S. military
intelligence power play, after which point a previously ongoing
information exchange ended.

Huff says Lazar earlier told him -- and Lazar agrees he had said this --
that this exchange of information occurred between the aliens and
human scientists/human security personnel [at S-4?].

But although the aliens had allowed themselves to be under constant
human guard, the aliens had insisted there be no bullets in the guns
worn by the security people. [Bullets may have been a symbol covering
all loaded weapons.]

The security people ignored that demand, and they all died from head
wounds -- which left no evidence of how they had died.

The aliens even killed the scientists they were teaching.

[On Knapp's broadcast last week, Lazar said he was told he was one of
the replacements:
George Knapp:
The dangers associated with 115 [the alien element] and anti-matter may
be the reason Lazar was hired to work at S-4. There was an accident,
he says, back in April 1987, an accident that was passed off as an
unannounced nuclear test.

Robert Lazar:
Some people got killed. I was told flat out I was one of the people
that were to replace these guys.]

Responding to a caller, Lazar says talking about aliens is NOT a touchy
subject for him. Aliens exist, he says.
[Lear, in an earlier On the Record KLAS-TV broadcast, says Lazar saw
aliens.]

<...Continued from previous message>

8. Time of Saucer Test Flights:
The tests of the saucers at S-4 are Wednesday nights.
Lazar says he was fired because he showed people where and when these
tests were performed.

9. Who Pilots the Test Flights?
Lazar says the experimental UFO flights at S-4 are flown either by
remote control or by human pilots -- not by the aliens.

10. Origin of the Saucers at S-4:
The alien vehicles Lazar saw up close in hangars come from
"another world: "the fourth planet out from Zeta Reticulum II [sp?],
a binary system." [Same as on Betty Hill's map?]

11. Description of the Saucers:
He says he touched one of the nine UFOs and even stood in its doorway.

He says the saucers mostly appeared "like new" -- one of them looking
like the Billy Meier saucer.
[On George Knapp's recent series "UFOs: The Best Evidence" (KLAS-TV,
Las Vegas), Lazar says one of the saucers "looked like it was hit
with some sort of a projectile. It had a large hole in the bottom and
a large hole in the top with the metal bent out like some sort of,
you know, large caliber 4- or 5-inch had gone through it."]

The inside of one craft appears made of wax and then cooled off,
all like a cast or mold of one thing with no rough edges.

Inside were small chairs, one or one and one-half feet, as though
made for little kids.
(Compare with George Knapp's new Roswell witness who said on Knapp's nine-segment broadcast that a Roswell funeral home worker had told him
the military had purchased all of the "baby or youth caskets" in stock
for the purpose of holding the Roswell aliens.)

12. Nine S-4 Saucers Extraterrestrial -- Not Earthly:
The nine disks he saw up close -- including the one he worked on --
were not earthly and were definitely extraterrestrial.

Lazar can't say whether or not the other disks he saw at a distance
during testing [seen on video presented in George Knapp's broadcasts]
are man-made or extraterrestrial.

13. Physics of the Saucers at S-4:
Lazar says the vehicle attaches itself to a distorted portion of
space-time and returns with the distortion. It's a new physics.
The vehicles brought a space-time warp with them.

Lazar says the propulsion technology should properly remain
classified, since everything there is looked at from a weapons
point of view. A lot is directly applicable to weapons systems, and he
has no intention of releasing it, he says.

But he says the craft uses gravity as a lens and the power source is
an anti-matter reactor.

Two Modes of Travel for Saucers at S-4:
1) When traveling around the surface of the planet, the vehicles balance
on a gravity wave or ride a wave like a cork on the ocean. In this
mode they are unstable and are affected by the weather.

2) For space travel, they use gravity generators. But if they fly
around the surface of Earth using this mode, they may flip over, a
phenomenon Lazar says has frequently been observed in past sightings
in the published UFO literature.

Two gravities: A & B.
Gravity A works on an atomic scale whose interaction is small and has
to do with fuel -- the alien Element 115 used for the disks.

Gravity B works on a macro scale.

The gravitational field is OUT OF PHASE with [unknown ?] and is like
a wave generator. It is LONGITUDINAL generation -- not spherical, as
a caller suggested.

14. Project Aurora:
"Aurora," says Lazar, distinguishing it from any UFOs, is the
replacement for the SR-71 plane. It uses a three-mile runway and
makes a sound like continuous explosions. It has speeds up to Mach 10.

15. No Alien Cattle Mutilations?
As far as HE knows, Lazar says, there is no alien UFO tie-in with
cattle mutilations.

16. Few Abductees?
More persons claim to be abductees than have actually been abducted,
suggests Lazar.

17. No Blue Diamond Entry Way for Saucers:
Notwithstanding UFO watchers congregating at Blue Diamond, Lazar says
there is only a gravity anomaly around Blue Diamond, not an entry way
for saucers into our universe.

18. Other Physics Comments By Lazar:
Time travel:
GRAVITY affects time. Moving FORWARD in time is "a breeze": All you
need do is get close to a gravitational field.
Moving back in time MIGHT also be possible.

Some physicists today, says Lazar, invoke superstring theories to simply
add another dimension to the universe whenever they can't explain something.

Referring to laser fusion experiments as "stupid," Lazar refers to a
location where they have been conducted.

Lazar also speaks of a process of squeezing plutonium.

In response to a caller's question, Lazar says M-42 is a galaxy.

19. Lazar says George Knapp's two-hour program on KLAS-TV,
Channel 8 in Las Vegas, this Saturday, 11/25/89, 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.,
will contain "much more information" than Knapp's recent nine-part,
two-hour UFO broadcasts last week.

Glad you asked about antimatter.

According to a series of reports on two Las Vegas television stations
(there is a two-hour special coming on 11-25 for those in the LV area)
one Robert Lazar, formerly employed by the government at the mysterious
Area 51, says that the US government has 500 pounds of element 115,
which somehow produces antimatter when irradiated.

This fuel is used to drive waveguide-type gravity amplifiers which
are the FTL drive components of nine alien spacecraft stored in hangars
out at Area 51 (the supersecret testing grounds also known as "Dreamland"
in the middle of the Nellis AFB bombing range about 65 miles northeast of
Las Vegas). From his brief description of how the drives operate, they
seem to create local black-hole strength gravity gradients which slow down
time and cause a space-fold quickly traversible by the spacecraft.

Lazar says he was hired to continue covert research into these spacecraft
and their engineering infrastructure after a former team of scientists
had screwed the pooch with a batch of element 115, forcing the AEC to
hurridly announce an "unscheduled" atomic test at Dreamland.

Don't flame me, call KLAS-TV in Vegas if you're curious. They will be

Jim- ....Great approach, Don! I wish more people would do that. But when you hand it out.. @ YES I DID! I did mention that it was unconfirmed. I may have an open mind,but it ain't so open that my brains fall out! Fact is,one of the people that I handed the releases to is a Naval Commander (reservist). He was real interested,but didn't say much. I was particularly amused when he asked that if anything else came out that he would like to see it.. Jim- WHERE'S DA BEEF???? ....... VERY good question Jim....The LEFT side of my brain is asking the same thing,however the RIGHT side is leaning heavily towards considering it as more than true. Lazar's claims sure *seem* more than credible... Sounds confusing,I know..but I keep the balance by continuing to look for the "outpoints" of Lazar's story..things I'm mulling over:

Release-
"In response to callers who want independently to check up on Lazar,
he says his "colorful" background has already been checked by George
Knapp of KLAS-TV, who had traveled to Los Alamos Laboratories and
had spoken to former Lazar colleagues, who confirmed he really had
worked there -- in spite of Los Alamos itself denying the fact of
Lazar's employment with them. (Knapp's UFO broadcast displayed a
page from a 1982 Los Alamos Labs internal phone book, listing Robert
Lazar.)

@ Thats SOUNDS plausible..but how do we actually *know* that Knapp
checked up on him? Is there any documentation that Knapp can actually
SHOW (read-> Hard copy) that Lazar has worked the places he's claimed
to?

Release-
Caller Bill Cooper, who says he has talked to Lazar for over a year,
says that by talking to persons at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory and at another

facility, he and associates have confirmed Lazar's previous
work in physics at the places Lazar specified. Lazar replied he was not
aware of this checking done by Cooper.

@ Which Bill Cooper is this? Is this THE Bill Cooper who was (to put it politely) kicked off Paranet for leaving inflammatory statements to
others? And if so,what credibility do we (users,Paranet) assign to
him? Are HIS "facts" checkable? Have they been in the past?

Release-
Lazar says he has 25 people each wanting independently to check him out, but he will not allow that.

@ I can understand that. But how about a panel of 5 reputable people?
Certainly Dr Stanton Friedman should be one of the panel..

Release-
He says neither REECO (Reynolds Electrical and Engineering Co., Inc.) nor EG&G

-- each a well-known U.S. Department of Energy Test Site
contractor -- has people at S-4, that those persons' clearances are at
most Q-Clearances, while his own clearance is "38 levels above Q-Clearance." The closest to S-4 that REECO or EG&G people physically...

@ Whew..How is anyone supposed to verify that? Maybe,just maybe the others that

worked with Lazar will come forth and support his story.

(2) Element 115: I don't know any reason why 115
would be useful in creating
an antigravity field or creating antimattter, except
possibly as an energy
source in some sort of fission reactor. There is a
predicted quantum mechanical
"Island of Stability" around atomic numbers 112-116, but
more recent
calculations suggest that none of these elements would be
stable enough to be
isolated in macroscopic amounts. In contrast, only a few
years ago some
physicists thought that these elements might have half-
lives in the millions or
billions of years.

Thank you for bringing this up. I was hoping that some of our physics readers would jump on this. Could you go further into the explanation about the instability of the elements between 112 and 116? Furthermore, Lazar claims that the vessel uses that in combination with a wave guide which, in his diagram, is shown protruding from the top part of the reactor and protracting to the top of the vessel with an antenna of a sort where it terminates. At the

bottom of the vessel is where the gravity amplifier is located.

Also, what are tachyons and how could they figure into this scenario. Is it true that gravity could travel twice the speed of light?

Antimatter is made today in small amounts; beams of
positrons and antiprotons
are used in particle accelerators. Neutral anti-hydrogen
(positrons orbiting
antiprotons) would be hard to store, but certainly
synthesizable. It would be a
great power source when it mutually annihilated with normal
matter.

How could this work in propulsion?

Based upon what has been said thus far by Lazar, could you comment on your feelings about his credibility as a physicist and his theories regarding the overall implication of this.

Thanks for your time and contribution to this discussion.

Subj: S-4 Worker Backs Up Lazar's Claims
Attr:
------------------------------------------------
Six "Scared-To-Death" S-4 Workers Reportedly Meet Outside the Nevada Test Site at Lathrop Wells to Unite and Join Lazar's Expose of Alien Saucers
On KVEG-AM Radio in Las Vegas, on The Billy Goodman Happening, 11/24/89, 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., with Robert Lazar on the line, another caller introduces himself as "a colleague in Lazar's department."
Calling himself "MW" for Mercury Worker [Mercury is the military town inside the Test Site], he distinguishes his work -- "hands-on" -- from Lazar's. MW says he is a construction worker, installing and constructing.
He says he and others like him work in S-4 -- especially underground -- in deep

sections.
"We all know a lot."
"Someone had to install the hangars."
"There is more than tunnels -- everything you can imagine -- cause we did everything."
He says people are now meeting in small groups to talk about backing up Lazar.

There was a meeting of six workers the night of 11/24/89, he says, to discuss whether or not they should publicly say what they saw.
The five others are scared to death, he says. He himself sounds scared on the telephone.
They are trying to get it where it will be safe for them to join Lazar, he says.
The MW's are "putting something together to join you."
There are two more MW workers supporting you, he says.
"We got together at Lathrop Wells [a small town close to the southwest end of the Nevada Test Site] and said we got to do something."
"Only two out of the six are willing to do something."
"The guys are for you."
Although encouraged, Lazar points out there's a ten-year jail term for them if they talk.

Mike: Based on what I have read on ParaNet, I can't take Lazar's physics very seriously. I suspect that a professional physicist would feel that I am understating the situation. I'm a biologist, not a quantum mechanic so most of what I know is from secondary sources like textbooks, Scientific American, New Scientist, The Sciences, or Stephen Hawking's recent best seller. Physics isn't
my specialty, but I'll try to answer your questions.
Now if somebody were to offer me a piece of purported alien tissue or a

culture
of an ET microbe, I think I'd know how to authenticate it or how to find people who could.
Elements decay by three principal routes, alpha emission, spontaneous fission
and beta decay. The three controlling forces, the Electromagnetic,the Strong Nuclear and the Weak Nuclear, are well understood with theory agreeing with experiment to nine or ten decimal places in many cases. The computational magnitude of systems as complex as heavy elements precludes exact calculations even on supercomputers, but the best approximations suggest that elements of atomic number around 114 are more stable than any nearby because the nucleons (protons and neutrons) form closed or nearly closed shells. This phenomenon is analogous to the chemical inertness of helium, neon and argon because their electrons form closed shells (outside the nucleus) and there is little tendency to arrange them in other configurations so that they could form bonds to other atoms and make compounds.
However, this stability is not absolute and atoms decay spontaneously with
half-lives (the time for 50% to change) ranging from more than 10 to the 33 years for Hydrogen to about 10-23 seconds for some extremely short lived isotopes decaying by the Strong Force. Elements with half lives of weeks or months can be isolated in weighable amounts though doing so is difficult and dangerous, but isotopes with shorter half-lives can only be identified by their
radioactive decay products. Only a few atoms of Element 109 have been made so far, but the energies of the alpha particles emitted along its decay chain made identification unambiguous. It's half-life is somewhere between a millisecond and a microsecond.
Elements 110 and 111 are expected to be even less stable, so experimenters hope to jump into the Stability region where half-lives are calculated to be longer.


Longer might mean 10-6 seconds or it might mean minutes or seconds. I don't know what the latest predictions are.
The only way we have to make such heavy nuclei is accelerate atoms of medium
weight elements such as calcium, carbon, etc. and smash them into heavy atoms such as uranium. It takes a lot of energy to overcome the electromagnetic repulsion to get the nuclei close enough so that the very short range (10-13 cm)
Strong Force can bind the compound nucleus together. If the atoms have too little energy, they won't fuse, but if they have too much, they won't stay together. The new nucleus is only marginally stable at best and will fission if it has too much energy. Another problem is that the new nucleus may not have
enough neutrons to be stable. If so, it will undergo beta decay as well.
If any elements around 114 or higher can be made they will be important
confirmation of the standard model. They will also have interesting chemistry since they will have more electrons than any know elements and some of these electrons will be in g orbitals with somewhat different properties from those in
d and f orbitals.
Tachyons are hypothetical particles with negative or imaginary rest mass and
always travel faster than light. They have never been observed and no one knows how to search for them. Since they travel faster than light, their interactions
with normal matter would conflict with relativity. Gregory Benford, a physicist
and award winning SF author, has written a serious paper about a "Tachyonic Anti-Telephone" which would allow one to place a call to the past. Needless to
say, this would violate causality as we understand it.
Invoking tachyons to explain some unknown effect is committing the fallacy
known as "Ignotus per ignotum," using one unknown to explain another. If and when tachyons are discovered, and assuming they have the requisite properties, then they may be used to explain unusual events.
Now to antimatter: I didn't mean to imply that particle accelerators bombard
anti-protons with positrons. High energy electrons collide with positrons and protons with antiprotons to produce exotic particles such as the W and Z mesons (the field quanta of the weak force).
if anti-Hydrogen and normal Hydrogen come into contact, the positrons and the
electrons will mutually annihilate to generate two gamma rays of .51 Mev. The antiprotons and protons of the nuclei will also annihilate, but they do so in a more complex fashion which produces a lot of intermediate particles. The end result is the conversion of the mass of both the normal and the anti-matter to energy according to Einstein's equation, E= mc2 (E=energy, m=totalmass, c=speed of light).
The resulting gamma rays could be reflected off a heavy shield and used

for
propulsion as a high energy photonic drive. Such as system seems to be the only
feasible energy source for interstellar flight according to the articles I've seen.
Small amounts of antimatter could be made if anybody wanted to. For powering
interstellar spacecraft travelling at relativistic velocities, thousands or millions of tons will be required, alas.
The energy released in ordinary fusion or fission reactions is only a small
fraction of this energy and comes from the binding energies of the nuclei: fission and fusion are the nuclear analogs of fermentation, while matter-antimatter annihilation is analogous to terminal oxidation. The nuclear energies are about a million times larger than the chemical energies, however, and this is why terrestrial organisms don't/can't use nuclear power in their metabolism.
The yet undiscovered field particle of the gravitational force, the fourth of
the known forces, is the graviton. It would travel at the speed of light. I don't know of any justification for the notion that gravitational effects propagate at 2*c.
Although gravitational radiation has not been observed directly, certain binary
star systems are losing energy at the rate calculated for gravitational radiation, so physicists are reasonable confident about the standard model. Gravitational radiation antennas with sufficient sensitivity are being constructed, so direct observation could occur soon.
Wave guides are conductive tubes which direct electromagnetic waves (radio
waves, light, etc). I have no idea if a gravitational wave guide or amplifier is
even theoretically possible. The people to ask are gravitational theorists such
as Kip Thorne, John Archibald Wheeler or Robert Forward (who also writes SF).
Forward has designed some hypothetical anti-gravity devices based on standard
physics. One involves passing the mass of a neutron star though a toroidal coil
the size of a football field in a millisecond to neutralize the earth's gravity field in the center by generating the gravitational analog of the magnetic field. The other methods are even less practical.
The problem is that gravity is 10 +43 times weaker than the Strong Force and
thus hard to study in the laboratory. One wishes to manipulate masses of at least planetary size. Also, the gravitational field is always attractive and a function of the geometry of space-time
i hope all of this wordage answers your questions. These are fascinating areas
and one can go on and on.

Hello, paranet friends,

I have been reading the newsletter from paranet for some time now.
This is my first posting.

+I just had an interesting thought...if you had been sitting on the secret
+of S-4 and dreamland for a long while, and had instructions to release the +information to the public only if it would not cause a crisis, what better +time to stage-leak the real story, as most of Eastern Europe and the Soviet +Union call off the cold war? Perhaps what Reagan was telling Gorbachev
+in their summit conferences is that we'll all hang separately if we don't +hang together.

+Michael Sloan MacLeod (amdahl!drivax!macleod)

Regarding Lazar, I just wonder about the fact that we are on the eve
of a summit of great significance to the entire world. As much as
we would all like to believe this intriguing tale (since so many
questions would be answered), I have to think that our government
has a powerful motivation at the moment for promoting this kind of
idea.

Given the credulity of Soviets on this subject, how likely is it
that the Soviet intelligence community is going crazy right now
trying to verify this story before the summit? Is this all
designed to throw Gorbachev off balance?

If our government tried to announce such a thing (supposing it is
false) they would be innundated with requests for demonstrations
and explanations, which would ruin the ruse. But the region where
these events are alleged to have occurred would be under constant
scrutiny by Soviet agents, given the history of the area. The
agents assigned to the area probably observed the news programs
with great interest.

Then there is the involvement of Cooper. Readers will have to judge
for themselves the significance of this.

Here is my scenario:
Lazar works for some intelligence outfit. His background was wiped
out (ineffectively) in the hopes that the attempt to erase his
history would give credibility to his story. Others that come
forward are part of the same effort. Some are actual believers
who have been convinced by the thoroughness of the deception.

The information is released in controlled packets, perhaps some
intelligence leaks were provided directly to Soviet agents to
prepare them to be receptive when the television program came on.
It all is building up so that the climax of the scam occurs just
before the summit. The result is that Gorbachev is off balance
and Bush has the advantage.


I think this is much more likely than the possibility that what
Lazar says is true, for these reasons:

1) If this project were so top secret as Lazar says, he would
never have appeared on that program. Lazar said they knew
he was going to leak in advance. If that were true he
would have been dead. They would not wait until now to
take sniper shots at him, and if they did, they wouldn't
miss.

2) Bill Cooper has discredited himself, and he appears to be
involved.

3) After reading on the subject, I am inclined to believe that
the spiritual/supernatural/extradimensional aspect is the
most significant. I could go into this, but let me just
say that I too have been reading Dimensions, and the ideas
presented there make more sense than anything else I have seen
on the subject. This story does not fit the scenario.
Instead it fits into a neat materialistic mold which would
allow the military to control the phenomena by purely
physical means. This does not mean it is necessarily bogus,
it just makes me suspicious. It is too neat; too easy and pat.

4) The gov't has a history of "leaking" bogus UFO stories.

5) They are motivated to try to maintain the upper hand by the
significance of this summit, in light of political developments.
This whole thing may have been generated directly in response
to developments in Eastern Europe.

6) The whole thing may be relatively unimportant to our intelligence
community - just another little game to try to keep the other
guys confused, and good practice at generating disinformation.


Sorry, it's just too bizarre to believe without tons of corroboration
from many independent sources.

Cheers,
--Steve -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regarding Lazar, I just wonder about the fact that we are on the eve
of a summit of great significance to the entire world. As much as
we would all like to believe this intriguing tale (since so many
questions would be answered), I have to think that our government
has a powerful motivation at the moment for promoting this kind of
idea.

Given the credulity of Soviets on this subject, how likely is it
that the Soviet intelligence community is going crazy right now
trying to verify this story before the summit? Is this all
designed to throw Gorbachev off balance?

If our government tried to announce such a thing (supposing it is
false) they would be innundated with requests for demonstrations
and explanations, which would ruin the ruse. But the region where
these events are alleged to have occurred would be under constant
scrutiny by Soviet agents, given the history of the area. The
agents assigned to the area probably observed the news programs
with great interest.

Then there is the involvement of Cooper. Readers will have to judge
for themselves the significance of this.

Here is my scenario:
Lazar works for some intelligence outfit. His background was wiped
out (ineffectively) in the hopes that the attempt to erase his
history would give credibility to his story. Others that come
forward are part of the same effort. Some are actual believers
who have been convinced by the thoroughness of the deception.

The information is released in controlled packets, perhaps some
intelligence leaks were provided directly to Soviet agents to
prepare them to be receptive when the television program came on.
It all is building up so that the climax of the scam occurs just
before the summit. The result is that Gorbachev is off balance
and Bush has the advantage.


I think this is much more likely than the possibility that what
Lazar says is true, for these reasons:

1) If this project were so top secret as Lazar says, he would
never have appeared on that program. Lazar said they knew
he was going to leak in advance. If that were true he
would have been dead. They would not wait until now to
take sniper shots at him, and if they did, they wouldn't
miss.

2) Bill Cooper has discredited himself, and he appears to be
involved.

3) After reading on the subject, I am inclined to believe that
the spiritual/supernatural/extradimensional aspect is the
most significant. I could go into this, but let me just
say that I too have been reading Dimensions, and the ideas
presented there make more sense than anything else I have seen
on the subject. This story does not fit the scenario.
Instead it fits into a neat materialistic mold which would
allow the military to control the phenomena by purely
physical means. This does not mean it is necessarily bogus,
it just makes me suspicious. It is too neat; too easy and pat.

4) The gov't has a history of "leaking" bogus UFO stories.

5) They are motivated to try to maintain the upper hand by the
significance of this summit, in light of political developments.
This whole thing may have been generated directly in response
to developments in Eastern Europe.

6) The whole thing may be relatively unimportant to our intelligence
community - just another little game to try to keep the other
guys confused, and good practice at generating disinformation.


Sorry, it's just too bizarre to believe without tons of corroboration
from many independent sources.

Dear Friends,

I saw this article in the sci.space USENET newsgroup.

I think it's some straightfaced bs put up to parody the Area 51 article,
but I could be wrong. The article had a strange-looking path line, and it seemed to have been gateed from the Internet.

Article 15143 of sci.space:

Michael Sloan MacLeod posted a discussion about:

+Robert Lazar, formerly employed by the government at the mysterious
+Area 51, says that the US government has 500 pounds of element 115,
+which somehow produces antimatter when irradiated.

Lazar is pulling the wool over somebody's eyes. There were less than 300 pounds of element 115, and probably less now. Samples were tested in various university and government labs, including mine. Yes, it does give off antimatter when bombarded with the proper radiation. If you hit it with negative muons, 115 (I'm talking about 287, the most abundant isotope, here. Inconvenient not having a name for the element, but there never was general agreement on it.) transitions to an excited state that decays into a positron, a nucleus of 114, and an antideuteron (bound state of an antiproton and an antineutron). The 114 is unstable, and in a few milliseconds it gives off another antideuteron and a pair of positrons. And so forth, down the chart of the nuclides. Every once in a while a decay in this chain will throw off a neutron, just to keep things balanced. This had everybody excited for a while. You might remember the big *Popular Mechanics* article about it.

Unfortunately, it turned out to be a bust. We showered muons on our 115 sample rods for weeks on end. The decay chain ends, after a rather short time, at 106Pd. And Pd has a tremendous affinity for hydrogen, and anti-hydrogen. We had
made a bunch of antimatter, but we couldn't get it out. The deuterons were stuck
within the Pd lattice. All we could collect were a few deuterons coming off atoms on the surface, and positrons, which we can get anywhere. And instead of an exotic heavy element, we were left with an inert lump of a metal anybody can buy on the commodities market. Remember the joke about the alchemist who could turn gold into lead?

Having established that it wasn't a miracle energy source, most labs pretty much
lost interest. At mine, we took the experiment apart and went on to more interesting work. The sample rods were lying around the lab for a while, though, come to think of it, I haven't seen them in a couple of years. I suppose somebody scrounged them for another experiment.

+This fuel is used to drive waveguide-type gravity amplifiers which

Eight. One crashed during tests in August 1981. Three of the remaining

+out at Area 51 (the supersecret testing grounds also known as "Dreamland"
+in the middle of the Nellis AFB bombing range about 65 miles northeast of
+Las Vegas).

Not *too* supersecret. See the book *Dreamland: A New Age of Flight Testing*, by Richard Adams Locke, Aero Books, 1985. A lot of nice photos of the place.

Get real. The correct spelling is "traversable."

Hi Steve. Well, like you I have been quite taken with Dr. Vallee's hypothesis in _Dimensions_. But let's not get carried away here...

A few days back, pre-Crash (Alpha's hard disk, not the markets) I wrote a semi-tongue-in-cheek riposte to someone about how unimportant it is who or what

builds and operates the UFOs we see, hear of, and investigate. Whether they are

built & operated by elves, pixies, leprechauns, Titans, Nordics or whatever is not the point.

The point (to my mind, anyway) is that they print on radar, leave leave dents in the ground when they land, occasionally scorch things and let people get close enough to touch them -- even get inside. They are material things. Whether they come from Zeta II, a parallel universe or Middle Earth, they are physical objects.

Even though these devices and their makers/masters may seem to us as present-day astronauts must appear to the most primitive Bushmen, I really don't allow myself to doubt their physical existence or impute anything supernatural or religious to them. I do not think Dr. Vallee does either -- as least as far as I read his book.

It may be that the U.S. has some of these things somewhere and has discovered that they are as real -- yet ephemeral -- as a leprechaun's pot 'o gold. I.e.:

They've got them, but they can't DO anything with them. Nevertheless they could exist. And Lazar may be telling the truth.

If your doubts center around Lazar's still being alive -- in other words, why was he allowed to "leak & live". Well, people like Lazar are double-edged swords. Nothing gets public attention faster than an untimely death. Especially if it's the death of someone who's been telling a story. It looks like Cooper's theories (which coincide with Lazar's revalations) may stem from Lazar himself. So if Lazar is authentic -- if his references check -- then the

Cooper sideshow may be just that. A sideshow, and not the main event.

Anyway, until Lazar is discredited -- or discredits himself -- I'm definitely prepared to stay with this one.

Best,
Clark

Mike C.,

I seemed to have missed 'Info-Paranet #94'. If you could please send an email of this I'd appreciate it. Looking forward to the Video-tapes of
Lazar happenings. Please feel free to fill the tapes with misc. at end.

Also, what's this business of missing coverage of these broadcasts?
Maybe this should be directed at Robert Klinn but it would be a shame if we
and quite possibly a tragedy if we aren't able to monitor the complete broadcasts. What is the price status if someone wanted to get copies of the broadcasts from the TV stations?

Thanks,

Ed Sanborn

Is there any independent confirmation that a nuclear explosion occurred
in the atmosphere in 1986 as Lazar claims? The signature of such a blast
if due to 115 would be completly different from a fission or fusion
explosion. there would be no fission products from an antimatter explosion
an dprobably much less induced radioactivity. Is athere any data on this supposed event in Nevada. Try the anti-nuke or environmetal groups.

Very good point. This and others aspects are currently being investigated in the Nevada region. Most of the aspects of the historocity of the Air Force's acquisition of 90,000 acres is correct, Lazar seems to rely heavily upon these types of activities as a means to support his claims. However, this does not mean that they are even inter-related to one another or to his experience. I found the land grab inception to Lazar's story very interesting. The way that it was presented to the television public made it sound as though it was very mysterious, however, the Air Force did not say that their authority to do the act of acquiring the land was higher than the United States, but only higher than the Air Force. Surely, other departments of the government are at a higher level than the Air Force, and with this in mind plus the fact that Dreamland has been known to be super-secret for over forty years does not support Lazar's claims. If there was an unscheduled nuclear test in 1987, this

may be suspect. I am very interested in that test and whether it was authentic

and if there was anything unusual registered by anyone monitoring the atmosphere.
