On 4 March 2019, the backseater of an F-18 Fighter took photos of three unidentified objects off the coast of Virginia. Four images have so far leaked to the public.
Susan Gough, the Pentagon spokesperson, confirmed that the photos “were taken by Navy personnel.
The Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force has included these incidents in their ongoing examinations.”
The images were taken in Warning Area 72, or “whiskey-72.” of the east coast of Virginia Beach, a headquarters for US Navy Fighter pilots.
Whiskey 72 is the same area that Lt. Ryan Graves said his squadron of F-18s was seeing strange phenomena on a near-daily basis back in 2015.
The famous Gimbal and GoFast videos were filmed there.
Lt. Ryan Graves related one account of a near-miss between an F-18 and one of the objects.

The pilot clearly saw a “cube inside a sphere” flying against the wind without any signs of propulsion.
Little details were released of the 4 March event. What we do have is the metadata of the photos confirmed they were taken by an iPhone 8 camera.
The first photo of a “sphere” was taken at 2:44 pm. The next two photos of the “acorn” were taken at 3:02 pm.
The “Sphere”
And the final photo of the “metallic blimp” object was taken at 3:14 pm.
We also learned from Navy personnel that the objects were stationary in relatively high winds.

Leaked photos
Luckily there were two photographs of the Acorn leaked online. Having two photos in such quick succession to each other allowed me to use some old-school fighter pilot techniques and some guesstimation to estimate the size of the object.
The “Acorn”
Unfortunately, no other information is being disclosed to the public.
If you notice, there is a bit of land in the lower left hand of the photo.
Using google earth and overlaying the photos over possible places in W-72 turns up to be a location 15 nautical miles off the coast of Virginia beach.
The Sphere, Acorn, and Blimp
Based on the Google Earth overlay, we can estimate they were at 28,000’ but potentially down closer to 20,000’.
If the fighters are flying 0.6mach, which is their general loiter speed in all the other engagements, and the objects are stationary, then using the two photos, we can estimate their distance.
Then, using the camera information for an iPhone 8, and measured the angular size of the objects to estimate their physical size.
We find the Acorn to be a 2-meter by 2-meter object.
The “Acorn”
Are the photos of the same object?
The only information we have is the photos were taken 18 and 12 minutes apart in the same general location.
The timing and location showed that the fighter was practicing fighting with other fighters toward the southeast.
Whenever they returned back to their practice base or home plate, they would see the objects with their radar or eyes and investigate.
Airplane F-18
If the images are of the same object, separated in time, then we see a progression from a sphere to an acorn to a blimp.
Although these events develop names over time, such as the sphere, Acorn, and tic-tac, it is important to try and remain unbiased.
The sphere looks like a circular cloud of moisture lit by the sun. The sun on that day was 32 degrees high out of the southwest.
The sphere, in fact, does look spherical to me and partially transparent.
the “Acorn”
The Acorn, on the other hand, appears to me as a hard geometric structure.
You can clearly see a line of shadow along the left side of the Acorn.
The common debunker joke in the US is this is a runaway batman balloon. At 2 meters across, the acorn balloon would take Timmy for a local balloon tour.
“Blimp”
Finally, we have the most mind-blowing image, the metallic blimp. The shape appears to resemble the beginning of the famous FLIR1 video of the tic-tac.
Does it look like a tic-tac to you? Could it be possible this is a derivative of the same object seen by Navy personnel off the coast of San Diego in 2004?
While we’re now well acquainted with most of the materials and objects on our home planet, Earth, there’s still so much we don’t know about space. And especially about what’s circling closest to our world.
Most of the random things that exist in Earth’s atmosphere are assumed to be “debris,”… but could there be something more intelligent lurking among all that trash?
Today we’re answering the great question; What is the Black Knight satellite, and is NASA hiding it from us?
Whenever NASA sends rockets or probes into space, they’re usually equipped with a camera to capture various parts of our solar system on video.
Sometimes, these feeds are made available to the public, and it’s not unusual to see unidentified objects floating around.
This is mainly because Earth is covered in a shell of space debris formed from bits of rock and sometimes equipment that’s found its way into our atmosphere, broken apart, and now we’re stuck with it in orbit.
Because of how fast all this debris is traveling, even the smallest amount does have the potential to cause a catastrophe.
If it makes contact with an operating ship, for example, or a space station, it could puncture the walls and trigger a disaster.
As such, NASA keeps track of some 27,000 known pieces of debris. It’s a mammoth task for the Agency, and it’s only set to get bigger as humanity seeks to expand its presence in space in the future.
Because there’s so much junk floating around up there, we often stumble across something – a particular piece of space debris – that causes a stir down here on the ground, especially with ufologists and UFO hunters.
In this vein, one of the more significant space photos was taken in 1998 during the STS-88 mission on the International Space Station.
At first glance, it’s perhaps just one photo among many, but there’s a growing backstory to this image because it’s believed by some to show the infamous Black Knight satellite.
The Black Knight satellite has a seemingly long history, said to date back more than one hundred years, to 1899, when the esteemed physicist Nikola Tesla famously staged radio experiments.
During one of those experiments, he reportedly heard a strange transmission echoing back from space. Modern scholars tend to now attribute it to a category of object that was unknown at the time, Pulsars.
Nikola Tesla
Or to it being a transmission from Earth that Tesla wrongly suspected had come from space. Others, however, believe that what Tesla really experienced was a type of first contact with intelligent, extraterrestrial beings via a nearby, artificial probe.
Then, there’s a general idea that such a probe exists around Earth (the Black Knight satellite!) and that Tesla accidentally discovered it all those years ago.
Before then, though, it’s suggested that it may have gone unnoticed for literally thousands of years. Some versions of the legend claim that the Black Knight first entered Earth’s atmosphere some thirteen thousand years ago.
It’s really multiple strange instances that have led to the formation of the wider Black Knight theory, though. First, Tesla received his unusual signal, but then again, in the late 1920s, the radio engineer Jorgen Hals also picked up a unique transmission that also echoed back after a delay.
Hals’ signals were later named Long Delayed Echoes, and they still don’t have a full explanation. Could they have originated from the same place as Tesla’s, then? And could they have been beamed by a watching alien probe?
The existence of a civilization in Epsilon Boötis
In 1960, some three decades later, the U.S. Navy became involved. It was revealed that the Navy had cataloged a piece of unidentified space debris on the radar, but then it turned out that this wasn’t exactly the full picture.
The Navy admission had really been part of a seeming coverup to hide the fact that what was actually on the radar was an American satellite meant for spying. Nevertheless, at the time, the story became linked to (and supportive of) a new resurgence of the Black Knight narrative.
One Duncan Lunan, a science fiction author, even reportedly went so far as to claim that he had decoded messages from above and that they revealed the existence of a civilization in Epsilon Boötis, a binary star system in the Boötes constellation.
The Black Knight
The most popular supposed photo of the Black Knight satellite
Lunan later backed off these claims, calling them unscientific, but some members of the UFO community still refer back to them. Now, after various apparent incidents in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Black Knight is somewhat entrenched in UFO folklore.
With theorists variously claiming that NASA – the world’s leading space agency – knows all about it and is communicating with it. Of course, this is not the official line, and NASA has never even hinted that the Black Knight Satellite is real.
The story is the product of conspiracy claims, only but those claims do reckon that they have visual evidence. The most popular supposed photo of the Black Knight satellite comes from the 1998 STS-88 mission to the international space station.
This mission was highly important because it delivered the first U.S. module to the ISS during the early stages of its construction.
The crew was assigned multiple spacewalk missions, then and during one of those, an astronaut snapped a strange object floating above Earth. Again, the official line bore no mention of alien tech.
Instead, the object in the image is said to be a piece of thermal covering or blanket that had drifted off by accident during the astronauts’ work.
According to NASA, it should’ve also burned up in the atmosphere shortly after the photo was taken. But regardless, some ufologists quickly connected this image to the various stories of the past to posit that this was the first real sighting of the Black Knight.
Was the Black Knight shot down?
There have been further claims since – including as recently as 2020, when satellite footage from the Philippines showed a curious object floating in the sky.
It was leading some (including the alien enthusiast Scott C. Waring) to propose that it could be the Black Knight once again.
However, another theory takes a different line, pitched by those who believe in the Black Knight satellite but don’t believe it’s still in orbit.
And that’s because it was supposedly shot down in 2017 by none other than that infamous group of powerful world leaders known as the Illuminati.
Supporters of this idea claim that footage of the event shows an alien escape pod being triggered from the satellite in amongst a flash of bright white light.
The footage, which is said to have been unwittingly leaked, also supposedly shows an Illuminati warplane piloted by elite soldiers, blasting the ancient satellite out of the sky.
Despite this, however, no debris from the apparent crash was ever recovered, and no solid evidence of either the Illuminati or of the alien the satellite itself has ever been confirmed.
And so, the legend (and the situation) is in a bit of a balance. There are plenty of aspects to the Black Knight story that remains unexplained.
What are NASA’s thoughts on the Black Knight?
But whether they can all be tied together under the idea of there being an extraterrestrial satellite that’s hiding over our heads remains to be seen, as well.
For those who believe that the satellite does exist, the NASA live feeds are what we need to be focussing on… combing through the constant pictures of space in the hope of one day seeing solid proof.
NASA itself, of course, has refuted all Black Knight claims. It continues to say that any and all objects seen on camera are nothing more than space debris – of which we’re accumulating more and more.
If the satellite was ever revealed to be real, then there would clearly be plenty of huge questions in need of answers. Namely, how long has it been up there? And why is it watching us in the first place? Would its discovery by the public trigger the start of alien Armageddon? Or a new age of space knowledge?
For now, though, all we can say is this: the 1998 photograph from the ISS shows, according to NASA, nothing more than a thermal blanket.
A misplaced piece of space travel equipment and not a top-secret alien presence. However, that explanation doesn’t wash with some onlookers, and perhaps it never will.
Rather than a blanket, they see evidence of E.T. surveillance. Of an advanced group that’s not of this world. Which side do YOU fall in with?

Where would the Aliens go to meet Earth’s leaders?
A relative handful of nations on Earth are qualified to represent our world to aliens. I would cite technological advancements, high standards of living, medical care for all, a diverse population, and a low level of military aggression as useful before claiming “leadership.” So rejoice! Sweden is here to put a good face on our oh-so-ugly and self-destructive species!
Whether they are from other star systems in our four-dimensional space-time, as Einstein describes our universe, or from an alternate dimension, parallel universe, or some other place or state of being we do not understand, I have no knowledge. My guess, per Occam’s Razor, would be that they are from our universe, separated from us primarily by empty space and the technical knowledge of how to create the gravity field propulsion system that many physicists say would explain the observed behavior of their vehicles.
Now on to that whole ‘leader’ thing. It’s a very human perspective, assuming that the alien civilization or culture will be basically like us, think like us, laugh at our jokes, and covet things we may have to trade. They want to negotiate, maybe open an embassy, that sort of thing.
I’m not sure that’s going to be what’s on their mind. Not that I expect any aggression or violence from extraterrestrials – if their goals were conquest, colonization, extermination, or other Hollywood film fodder, we wouldn’t even be here. The galaxy is over 13 billion years old, our star is rather young (4.5 billion years old), and our technological civilization is young as a mosquito larva – has it been 300 years since the steam engine?
A cigar-shaped Venusian interplanetary carrier photographed through a 6″ telescope over Palomar Gardens, California taken by Adamski.
Through Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry imagined the military services of his day evolving into services dedicated to science, peacekeeping, and exploration. Swedish Forces are already well down that path. If I take aliens to a leader, I believe it had better be one who shares the vision of an evolved future.
Virtually any sentient culture in our galaxy will be a few million to a few billion years older than us. Many will have seen every star system in the Milky Way. They may have contact with 3 million other intelligent life forms in our galaxy, or 10 million, or 50 million.
Earth? They will have an unbelievably vast database of histories of worlds and intelligent species. Ours will be so far down the rationality scale that I’m not sure anyone on Earth qualifies as a “leader.” Nobody speaks for our species. We exist in over a hundred nation-states, dominated by a handful of countries with powerful technology and what passes down here for military strength.
Drone/UAP-hunting in Stockholm and Over the Baltic sea: “Several observations.”
We are always one step away from nuclear war, although most people don’t think about it. This is the fact that attracts most of the attention of aliens, or at least of the UAPs performing daily surveillance on US naval vessels and aircraft and the military assets of other nations, primarily the ones with nukes. Many of our most obvious “leaders” are the ones presiding over our war machines.
What we think a leader is will not matter at all. What will matter is what our alien visitors think a leader ought to be. I suspect they will hope our species survives this horrific adolescence we are in now, and they won’t want to speak to any human “leader” who is not committed to a peaceful and sustainable future. Do you really think they’ll care how many G’s your country’s wireless networks have?
We are destroying our own planet’s biosphere through our unwillingness or inability to control our own greediest and most aggressive people. Corporations answer only to their stockholders, most of whom care about their next dividends. The boards of these kinds of companies have to produce profits in the short term or be voted out, so investing for a better world a half-century from now is not in the thinking of many of our “leaders.”
Actually, I believe I would offer my guests one of two options:
First, I will offer to serve as a ‘leader’ in the sense of being an elder of a tribe. I am old enough to be wise and well-informed for a human, and I’m a pretty good, straight-up guy, which is important in case they are telepathic. I believe I could give them useful answers to many questions they may have about our world, our history, and our hopes for the future.
If they are researchers, philosophers, and intellectuals, I expect I’ll do just fine, and when I am over my head, I can put them in touch with others who can take up the narrative.
Second, if they have broader goals for actual negotiations, treaties, trade agreements.
I know many people are filled with partisan rancor, but if we are dealing with aliens, that is no time for petty bickering. My country is not perfect, of course, but I believe it is in the topmost tier of nations capable of holding an advanced discourse with a newly contacted civilization.
Swedish Lappland, or maybe Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, would be a lovely place for aliens to meet with leaders who actually want to lead in the proper direction. (We’ll save the bagpipes for the second or third session so as not to unduly alarm them. In the case of the pipes, a little alarm is part of the pleasure.)
The US government has consistently recognized that UFOs exist. That is that things are seen in the sky by people who can’t identify what they saw; they have not said that UFOs are alien or any other type of craft or technology. A few highly placed individuals have expressed that opinion, but that’s all it is – their opinion. Those people are allegedly in a knowledgeable position, so they should be able to produce evidence, but they haven’t, just stories and opinions like every other UFOlogist.
The government has explained most sightings as weather balloons, reflected lights, mistaken identification of common aircraft, radar glitches, and more; they use the term UAP, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, because some sightings are not objects at all but optical illusions. They are investigating because pilots seeing things that aren’t there could be a hazard to flight, or there is a possibility that some of these could be enemy stealth activity, a danger to national security.
TV show Project Blue Book
The Air Force’s previous major study, Project Blue Book. was terminated, finding no threat to national security, no evidence of advanced technology, and no evidence of extraterrestrial origin. Unfortunately, people who make money pushing UFO books, documentaries, and highly exaggerated TV shows like the recent Project Blue Book – an absurdly fictionalized version of the real study, The X-Files, Stargate, and more have managed to convince people that the alien’s explanation is less ridiculous than things we can prove exist.
Weather balloon
Aliens sell. Weather balloons don’t.
They’ve made “weather balloons” a joke, even though every air station in the US releases two huge balloons a day, and light reflected off them can cause them to appear as odd shapes. The self-proclaimed UFOlogists – a doubtful title; not one of them has ever had a captured UFO to study and who don’t consider them unidentified but definitely aliens – can come up with a brilliant excuse for their utter lack of evidence by saying that the government is silencing people, seizing evidence and covering up the truth.
Aliens sell. Weather balloons don’t.
It’s easy to accuse people of coverups, then when they deny that they know anything beyond what they have released, yelping, “See? Coverup!” Actually, it is UFOlogists who are guilty of covering up; their stories tend to leave out details like confessed hoaxes, psychiatric evaluations of delusions, and failed lie detector tests. Unlike the Air Force, they don’t investigate UFOs as unknowns – they assume aliens and report every absurd story verbatim. Aliens sell. Weather balloons don’t.
According to a person who worked for the Office of Navy Intelligence for almost 20 years; “These AAVs, Anomalous Aerial Vehicles, were acknowledged and studied even back then. They are an advanced craft of unknown origin. He also states, “without violating any oaths or NDA’s he has with the Navy and U.S. government, that whether they are of extraterrestrial, terrestrial, extra-temporal, or extra-dimensional the craft behave in a manner that does not abide by the known laws of physics we understand.”
He continues, “However, the Navy has applied for patents which are now declassified and available on the U.S. Patent Office website. They are describing a meta-propulsion system utilizing various microwave emitters and superconducting material and electromagnetic high energy fields to produce an antigravity force around the craft which means basically that the UAP/UFO has no inertia and can theoretically navigate in the atmosphere, underwater and space equally well. The Navy adds in their patent application that this technology is not in the theoretical or experimental stage but in the “Operable” stage. A stunning statement that it has been tested, and it works as described in the patent application.
My informed guess is that the UAPs are of “Off-World” manufacture as some of the recent statements from the Pentagon describe in brief to the Senate Intelligence Committee. Hopefully, they will release more information in the June Report on UAP threat analysis. They will not release all they know, trust me on this one. It would probably be too disturbing for the general public and our society to digest. But acknowledgment that this is a real and verified phenomenon is a huge step.
Open dialogue and real analysis are the answer, not ridicule and dismissal of the reports from competent witnesses and misinformation from the U.S. government. Even some very smart people ridicule and dismiss people who ask questions on this subject. They may have to re-analyze their thinking and beliefs, which is hard to do on a subject as important as this. Answering the question, Are we alone? We may find out very soon. I know the answer, but to many, it’s just too much to wrap their minds around and prefer to be ignorant and not accept the complex and sublime nature of the Cosmos and our place in it.
Now that govt won’t call us wackos/cuckoos when talking on this matter, let’s speculate on the subject.
Human vs. Non-Human tech
I don’t think the U.S. military sees these UAP as Russian/Chinese tech; otherwise, they would try to shoot them on sight for U.S. airspace intrusion.
The observation of these objects seems to be already “business as usual” for the U.S. military as they behave in a quite non-battle-ready position in the presence of these objects. U.S. military probably has ordered by military scientists not to retaliate. This doesn’t mean we can exclude the possibility of Russian tech. It just points in the direction that top U.S. scientists/insiders think this hypothesis doesn’t have a high comfort level of probability.
Speculating a possible human tech/scam explanation. Conspiracy theory alternative.
It could be that U.S. shadow govt agencies are trying to get approval for a very big military research budget using a scam. A UAP report suggesting these are Russian / Chinese could put pressure on Congress to pass a huge budget for secret agencies.
Another alternative is that the U.S. military wants to use UAPs to spread a disinformation campaign to hide black projects.
It’s now obvious that the U.S. military and Agencies have more information that isn’t disclosed. They assume there are these phenomena for which they have really good data, but still, they are unable to identify. Apparently, they even lie to U.S. Congress by stating that some of these objects might either be a natural phenomenon or foreign technology. With all the radar data, they have aircraft sensors, video footage, pilots testimony over multiple encounters. They should be able by now to either support the hypothesis of natural vs. technology hypothesis. It’s also obvious the high military ranks want to keep this matter in a grey area full of disinformation.
You just need to think that if they really wanted to identify these objects to Congress and ultimately the U.S. public represented by Congress, they would have already released radar data and even satellite images. I mean, at least the radar data. All you need is a series of timestamps, latitude, longitude, and altitude. That’s it. Just a database with simple information from multiple encounters that would allow independent scientists to tell immediately if the sample of more “exotic” phenomenon is of natural or technological nature.
Non-Human hypotheses
Simulation Theory. Maybe we are just observing some sort of “glitch in the matrix” event. Simul. Theory Admins might come and go to maintain software/hardware.
Lost Civilization from Earth, Mars, Venus, Jupiter Moons.
It’s not unreasonable to think that sometime in the past, there was another civilization on Earth or on another planet of our solar system. Maybe some hundreds of thousands of years from now, human civilization is also lost, and who knows if another primate or mammal evolves and forms another civilization. Maybe they would have a hard time finding relics or evidence of our existence thousands and thousands of years before them.
Alien probes/drones from another solar system in recon mission.
Since their main interest seems to be to scan our most advanced military tech (unverifiable leaks also mention these things have an “appetite” to control (on/off) our nuclear devices and our main resource – liquid water), to me, this means they’re probably not that friendly. Alien probes/drones could be in a recon mission gathering information and sending it to outer space through probes such as Oumuamua-type of objects. If that’s the case, then I would probably suggest the probes are scanning for suitable resources (water/energy), learning how to defeat our defense systems, and how to gain access to a good source of energy for their first base/settlers. If they can gain control of all nuclear weapons, they’ll also eliminate our defense of last resort – scorched lands – drop nuclear missiles all over the place.

Could there have been an equally or more advanced civilization on Earth in the far past?
There have been ongoing “mythologies” concerning several “advanced” civilizations that may have existed on Earth in the past. They include Atlantis, Mu, and Lemuria. Atlantis reputedly existed in the Atlantic Ocean. Mu in the Pacific and Lemuria in the Indian ocean. All three were also reputedly destroyed by some major cataclysm many thousands of years ago.
Gobekli Tepe
Indications of some form of a catastrophe occurring 11–12000 years ago are beginning to accumulate. No actual irrefutable tangible evidence exists that definitely proves the existence of any one of these three civilizations. So to science, they are merely fantasies. However, no evidence existed that indicated or even suggested the existence of Gobekli Tepe in Turkey either. Yet there it is. What is a huge, over 26-hectare site containing the remains of an 11,000-year-old mysterious and advanced civilization that predates Egypt by 5,000 years? A civilization that is completely unexplained by the historical record.
Gobekli Tepe
Moreover, this lost civilization existed at exactly the same time as Plato stated Atlantis did. Atlantis was highly refuted by science based on the concept that there was simply no evidence of any advanced civilization ever-existing around 11,000 years ago. Now there is. And it is Gobekli Tepe.
If science was so wrong about what humans were capable of 11,000 years ago, maybe it is wrong about many things. Maybe those “legends” are based on real places. The question is: if Gobekli Tepe could be completely lost to history, how many other Gobekli Tepes lie out there awaiting discovery? At least Atlantis, Mu, and Lemuria remained in the arena of human memory. So all three may have existed as well.
How advanced were they? What happened to them and why?
There are also indications of other strange and mysterious archeological sites. One is submerged n the eastern Indian ocean just off India. There also appear to be several located in the Pacific. Almost all are submerged deep underwater. Evidence has emerged concerning potential sites in the Caribbean as well.
We do know for sure that over 12,000 years ago, the ocean levels were 300–500 feet lower. Something occurred that raised the ocean levels rapidly. There could be numerous archeological remains that still exist up to several miles off of the coastlines of the oceans and seas all over the world. What is most strange is that Gobekli Tepe was nowhere near the ocean. Yet it completely disappeared, and no memory of it remained to even enter into the realm of legend.
Gobekli Tepe
This theory is gaining traction due to the final acceptance of Gobekli Tepe and other sites currently being explored in Anatolia. We have to stop thinking we are the end-all of it all and that anything is linear. Technology can be many different things, not just the fossil fuel-driven type of today. Maybe we aren’t even the second or third advanced civilization. Maybe we are in a long line of many different advanced civilizations to have been on this planet.
There were advanced prehistoric civilizations, and we know some things about them. Below are some examples:
MINOANS: flourished on the island of Crete and Mediterranean islands ( 3,800 -1100 BC ). Grate palaces, writing, bureaucracy, plumbing system, high-end art. They were conquered and destroyed by the mysterious Sea People. All they had left were numerous myths ( Daedalus- Icaros, Labirynth, Talos ). Had they continued undisturbed till today, who can tell what they could have achieved?
SUMERIANS: A civilization in Mesopotamia. They practically invented what we call urban life; back in 6,000 BC, they had built cities like Ur invented monetary trade, shipping, agriculture, farming, and writing. Their achievements were adopted by the Accads, Assyrians, Persians, who conquered the region later. We can conclude that their legacy still lives on. Why didn’t they keep on progressing? Because they suffered from other, less sophisticated tribes’ invasions for a prolonged period.
OLTECS: The first civilization in Central America (Mexico ) emerged around 1,600 BC. They had built pyramids invented a writing system calendar. They were distinct probably by natural causes, volcano activity, or prolonged periods of drought.
Some of the old civilizations left their marks on cultural evolution, and some were totally forgotten. They were all remarkable, and no one can tell what would be the world in our days if all could survive for long.
Peoples needs are always the same: food, safety, medicine, so the same facilities and doctrines are emerging again and again.

Is Bob Lazar telling the truth?
Over the time since Bob Lazar first came forward around 1989, his story has been corroborated in a number of ways.
For example, he was the first person to mention the S-4 facility near Groom Lake.
The government later admitted that the S-4 facility did indeed exist after some people looked into it.
Though the government wiped his records of being at MIT, Los Alamos, etc., people there said they remember Bob Lazar.
Element 115
He was the first, or one of the few, to mention a stable form of element 115.
We’ve since created unstable isotopes of that element, but it’s likely a stable isotope will be created of it because of where it exists in the periodic table.
He talked about element 115 before it was even theorized.
Then they actually synthesized it quite a long time later, and there is a possibility of having it in a stable isotope.
This is quite insane to think about fabricating that possibility. He would have to blindly bet that element 115 would somehow fit this description even remotely.
For all he knew, this element wasn’t even theorized yet.
It’s also interesting that his story has not changed in 30 years.
People who fabricate tales will often later add details. He hasn’t.
This is, of course, my personal opinion, and there are subjective elements to it.
But I encourage you to watch Joe Rogan’s interview with him on his podcast, which you can find on YouTube.
He comes across as very credible. Bob comes across to me at least as a physicist or a person who was at one time.
He has never tried to make money off his story.
George Knapp and others sometimes have had to spend years persuading him to do an interview.
He doesn’t like to do interviews. Does that fit the profile of a hoaxter?
Why would the government go to such trouble to erase his school and employment records – but miss one small detail such as his name being in the Los Alamos phone directory?
Each person has to make his mind up, but the things he talks about, like the antigravity propulsion system, match what Dr. Paul LaViolette describes in his book on antigravity propulsion, written twenty years later.
I have to think Lazar is telling the truth.
It seems way too weird to be a hoax, and there are quite a few interesting quirks that were proved right and would be quite hard to fabricate.
Much less than to maintain them for 20 or 30 years if he’s lying.
Let’s just say he would have to be insanely motivated by something if he could tell this same story for 30 years and make it look even remotely plausible.
There are no records of him being at MIT Caltech or Los Alamos. Alright.
But he also lost his birth certificate. Later they found an article mentioning him and a phone book from Los alamos with his name on it.
So he has no birth certificate, but his name is in an old phone book and article (along with a photo), and he knows the place by memory?
How much of this can you fabricate and maintain for 30 years?
If so, he’s a mastermind hoaxer, and he has to have an insane motive.
George Knapp
Okay, so another piece of information is the fact that the area S4, which admittedly does exist; however, nobody before him ever knew such a place existed, yet he knew the name of it way before its existence was admitted by the government.
How do you fabricate that? How did he know about that?
When Bob took George Knapp to Los Alamos, Knapp said Bob displayed a knowledge of the facility that would only be acquired by someone who’d been there.
Yes, that is subjective, but what’s not subjective is that Knapp saw Lazar’s diploma from MIT.
The hand scanner at the S4 complex
On another note, he talked about the hand scanners that got him into the S4 complex.
There were slits and pins and light fixtures above, and it scanned your hand to measure the bone length in your hands.
Many dismissed that as a nonexistent technology, yet at least one person came out since then and said those things existed, and also photos of these devices were found.
He could’ve researched this and used it to fabricate a hoax but combine it with all the other stuff.
Plus the fact he never changed the story in 30 years, and you’re either looking at a lunatic, an insanely motivated person with a specific reason to deceive the world for 30 years and even lie under oath, or truth.
MIT
The reason why Bob Lazar seems credible is that the effort it would take can easily outmatch any MIT degree.
It would greatly outweigh probably anything he would ever get from lying so long and in such a sophisticated fashion.
And from this perspective, it even puts Occam’s razor in his favor.
Unless he’s a lunatic, which seems improbable, to say the least, given he has a wife, friends, work, and looks like an intelligent, highly functioning individual.
Not to mention he’s been raided ad bullied by the FBI and various other bureaucracies and whatnot regularly since he first opened his mouth in the ’80s.
Maybe he’s highly delusional. I have no fucking clue. Why would his family and friends lie, too tho?
It just doesn’t make any sense to me. I have no idea if he’s telling the truth, but if he isn’t, he has to be somewhat crazy, seriously.
And I think that that’s a cheap way out. So, do you believe Bob Lazar?

Is there a risk that hostile aliens could find the location of Earth and invade?
The question is how big is the risk – because, of course, it will never be demonstrably zero. It’s impossible to prove something doesn’t exist, even when it’s as intangible as risk. Therefore, it only makes sense to look at the factors that decrease the risk – at what makes it unlikely that hostile aliens could find the location of Earth and invade.
Difference. The likelihood of Earth being a useful target is low because few planets are even similar to, let alone the same as, another. The aliens would have to find the Earth to be the most viable source of something valuable to them, even though their planet is vastly different from Earth. Their needs, through evolution, will match what exists on their planet rather than here. Volatiles (hydrogen, methane, etc.) are easier to gather from gas giants and moons, and metals are easier to mine from asteroids and comets.
Why have UFOs changed shape over the years?
Interstellar separation. Our current knowledge of physics implies that nothing can travel faster than light, and anything that does approach that speed suffers massively from the effects of time dilation. Therefore, either the aliens take actual tens of thousands of years to travel from star to star, or time dilation makes it a one-way trip because if they return to their home planet, it’ll be tens of thousands of years older than when they left. The distance they must cover is mind-bogglingly huge, and the trip is expensive, dangerous, and long – unless they’ve cracked the lightspeed barrier, which is very unlikely.
Intelligence. With great intelligence comes great insight and curiosity…and the effort towards scientific advancement. These things tend to replace or at least greatly diminish the basic instincts of fear, suspicion, and violent tendencies.
Location. Of course, even if aliens find our planet useful, they could be on the other side of the galaxy rather than anywhere near Sol. Likely, they’ll never find us in the galactic forest or through all the clutter of gas, other systems, and so on.
Purpose. For what purpose would they be hostile? There is as much chance they’ll be indifferent or helpful. Why travel across interstellar distances just to pick a fight?
Simultaneity. These aliens need to exist in the time we do. The universe and our galaxy have great age – a long past covering billions of years and an equally long future. We have existed for a mere eyeblink of time. The aliens probably won’t arrive until long after we leave if we ever learn the secret of getting around from star to star as they do. Either that or they arrived before we existed and moved on.
With all those factors counting against invasion, it seems there’s a very low risk.
