Bob Lazar sparked an alien frenzy 30 years ago when he allegedly blew the whistle on his work on UFOs inside Area 51. In 1989, with the help of journalist George Knapp, Mr Lazar detailed a story claiming he was stationed at a base known as S-4, south of the USAF’s Homey Airport. He speculated the auxiliary facility in the Nevada desert was being used by the US government to “reverse engineer” something known as Element 115.
The synthetic chemical, known officially as Moscovium, was first synthesised in 2003, despite Mr Lazar’s claims 14 years earlier.
The 57-year-old detailed how the same chemical, stabilised, could be used to move UFOs.
His story was berated by many over the years, due to his lack of proof.
Until now.
Investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell has spent the last few years digging into the background of the 59-year-old, before producing his new film “Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers”.
During that time, Mr Corbell claims to have stumbled across a video titled “cloud chamber”.
The minute-long clip, which was shown during the documentary, shows a white light being mysteriously bent.
Describing the video, Mr Knapp said: “The beam of light was bent, and it was bent because they had Element 115 present.”
Two weeks ago, Mr Lazar travelled to Los Angeles with Mr Corbell and Mr Knapp to attend the premiere of the new film at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles.
The next day it was released on iTunes and immediately rose to number one on the charts.
Mr Corbell previously said: “My film gives you an understanding of the real Bob Lazar, which will make it harder to throw away his claims.
“The more you get to know Bob Lazar, the more you have to face the uncomfortable possibility that he’s telling you the truth.
“You look at the evidence, you watch my film and you decide for yourself.”
