Bob Lazar is...strAInge

A look at a figure who is incredible and complicated

Episode: Bob Lazar Was Right

In 1989, a man named Bob Lazar went on local Las Vegas television and claimed he had worked on recovered flying saucers at a secret facility south of Area 51. At the time, the United States government officially denied that Area 51 even existed.

Decades later, much of what Lazar described would be quietly acknowledged as real.

This episode explores Bob Lazar’s claims, the technology he described, the locations he named before they were public knowledge, and why his story continues to haunt modern disclosure discussions. Whether or not every part of his past holds up under scrutiny, the things he said about secrecy, black projects, and non-human technology continue to align with what has slowly emerged from official sources.

This is not an episode about proving Bob Lazar’s résumé.

It’s an episode about why he knew things he shouldn’t have known.

🎙️ Episode Notes

Bob Lazar’s story sits at the center of modern UFO mythology not because it explains everything, but because it arrived before the language existed to describe what he claimed to witness.

Long before official acknowledgments of unidentified aerial phenomena, Lazar described craft that behaved in ways now documented by military pilots and radar systems. His story did not expand with time. It did not evolve to chase relevance. It remained fixed while the world slowly caught up.

Whether Bob Lazar was a physicist, a technician, or something in between, the questions he raised were never answered — only postponed.
