THE STRANGE BEHAVIOR OF BOB LAZAR

I am not here to defend nor to put  Bob Lazar down.
The fact is that Bob Lazar has been categorized as a fraud by most
people.
However, one person that still totally supports Bob Lazar's claims is
KLAS-TV Eyewitness News Anchorman, George Knapp, and of course, Bob's
friend, Las Vegas real estate appraiser, Gene Huff.
Is Bob Lazar a total fraud?    Although I have a tendency to lean on in
that
direction, I still do have some unanswered questions.
As for Bob Lazar's timeline, the whole world had already been familiar
with Tom Mahood's timeline, which he published in 1994.
However, not everyone is familiar with Gene Huff's 1995 rebuttal of Tom

Mahood's timeline of Lazar.
But, thanks to Gary Sellani, Gene Huff's 1995 rebuttal of Tom Mahood's
timeline was once again posted in the dreamlandresort.com site
recently.   (www.serve.com/mahood/lazar/synopsis.htm)


As I said above, personally, I still have some unanswered questions on
Bob Lazar:


It was on February 21, 1990 that a crew of Nippon Television Network
(NTV) of Japan and I (total of 7) had an opportunity to visit and
interview Bob Lazar at his residence in Las Vegas. This was made
possible through Bob's friend, real estate appraiser Gene Huff.


We arrived at his residence around 11 a.m., or so, to the best of my
knowledge.
They took us to the living room, which at that time did not seem to me
to be fully furnished and "lived".  They showed us Bob's study room,
which also did not seem to me to be fully furnished. Yes, there were a
few books on physics in the bookshelf and there were computers on his
desk.
In any case, the interview was conducted by a writer from a magazine
and I was simply there as an interpreter.
The interview lasted about two hours.


When we arrived at his house, there were about 5 or 6 men in the house.



At first I thought they were simply Bob's friends. But later on I
noticed something unusual about some of those men.
It seemed that throughout the interview, whether in the living room or
in Bob's study room, two men were constantly on each side of Bob. One
of them seemed to have a rectangular black communications equipment
with him.  Perhaps it could have been a cellphone.  (This was in 1990).

 When we moved to the kitchen area, those two men also moved alongside
Bob. When we moved to Bob's study, those men also moved together with
Bob.
So we asked Bob, "who are these men"? Bob simply said that, "don't
worry, these are just friends".
Perhaps this was nothing.  But I just thought to bring this up, because

that's the one thing throughout the interview that impressed me most.


What do I think of Bob?
I still cannot come to a conclusion.


In any case, later that Wednesday afternoon, the TV crew and I drove
about 2 hours from Las Vegas and reached the location where Bob said we

would see a test flight of an object  arising over the Groom Mountains.

And indeed, after sundown and after setting up the TV cameras, etc. on
the dirt road (right next to Hwy 375), Lord, behold! around 6:45 p.m.
we observed a bright orangish light appearing over the Groom Mountains
and made some interesting motions. I was quite impressed at that time.
Around 7:15 p.m. another light came up. In any case, that was the
beginning of my real interest in Area 51, before Area 51 was even a
household name.   As the years went by, I came to dismiss my initial
excitement about those sightings.   I came to conclusion that those
lights were a test-flying of our aircraft.  (Or possibly, the initial
phases of a test-flight of UAVs.).


As the years went, by, I also began to have some questions regarding
Bob Lazar. A few years later, I did see a copy of Bob Lazar's paycheck.

It wasn't much.  Something like about $987.00.
Then I found out that Bob Lazar's Social Security Number did not belong

to Bob Lazar but belonged to a lady in New York.


Also, I began to have doubts on Bob Lazar for his not keeping the
promise that he would fly to Japan in early March of 1990 to appear
live on the 2-hour Japanese TV program on Area 51.
I was waiting for his flight from Vegas to Los Angeles where I was to
meet him. He never showed up. Later on, the producer of the TV program
said that he got an urgent call from Bob that Bob was not allowed to go

to Japan to appear on that program. This was a total disappointment.


Also, later on I found out that Bob had kept the $5000 which was a
guarantee that he would appear on the program live.  Nevertheless, in
mid March of 1990, a two-hour prime time TV program on Area 51 was
aired in Japan (without the live appearance portion of the program) and

was seen by millions and millions of people there, when Area 51 wasn't
even known by a lot of the American public.


What do I think of Bob Lazar?
Like I said, I still cannot conclusively dismiss him totally.
He is a genius, no doubt about it.   The whole world also knows that
Bob Lazar had moved to New Mexico in the Sandia Mountains, next to
Albuquerque.
It is my understanding that he still does some contract work
occasionally for various defense related sub-contractors (not the
direct contractors). His present activities come under the name of
United Nuclear.


Was Bob Lazar a disinformant? I do not know.
What I know is that the Air Force did benefit from the belief by a
segment of the population (and a push by a segment of the population to

promote this theory) that Area 51 was somehow associated with
extraterrestrial technology.
It definitely helped in bringing about the "laughter curtain" to Area
51, which was needed as a "cover story".
It is my understanding that occasionally, "cover stories" are created
by defense contractors during certain projects to draw attention away
or to bring up a "laughter curtain" to cover certain projects.
But again, I could be wrong.


STRANGE BEHAVIOR OF BOB LAZAR PART II


In 1991, my former colleague, Gary Schultz and I organized an "Utlimate

UFO Seminar" in the Little A-lien (at that time known as Rachel's Bar
and Grill).
Despite little notice on this event, that memorable evening, the entire

inn was filled with people. It was standing room only. There wasn't any

space to even walk around.
The only speakers were Gary Schultz and myself.
We did not invite any particular guests, but we were surprised to see
Lincoln County Sheriff himself, Dahl Bradfield, seated inside.  We were

also astonished to see William Cooper (who, later became a
rabble-rouser and a militiaman and was killed a few years ago in
Arizona) seated also, silently listening to our presentation.  There
was Anthony J. Hilder (a rabble-rousing, former talk radio man in
Alaska) in the crowd.  We also noticed that Sean Morton (an unknonwn
enthusiast at that time who later on became a well-known self-professed

prophet through his appearances on the wacky Art Bell show) was seated.

 (I am ashamed to admit that I myself was a rabble-rouser at that
time!!)


As Gary and I continued with our speech, we were surprised to see John
Lear (son of the inventor of the Lear Jet) enter the room.  A little
later, the door opened and here comes George Knapp, KLAS-TV news
anchorman.  Then about 30 minutes later, we saw Bob Lazar enter the
room, together with his girlfriend. There was no space left for them to

be seated. We never expected these individuals to be there.  Literally,

the entire Little A-le-Inn was filled with so many so-called UFO
"luminaries", all in one place. There must have been at least 95 to 110

people there.
Bob Lazar and his girlfriend stood in the kitchen, initially appearing
to be listening to our presentations. But, instead, what we noticed was

that Bob Lazar was continually laughing at Gary Schultz while he was
giving the serious lecture.  It seemed as if Lazar  were mocking the
entire Area 51/S-4 topic as if he himself didn't believe in it.  I
simply could not understand the reaction of Bob Lazar. There may be
nothing to this, but I just felt that his behavior was a little odd.


Two years later, in 1993, again Gary Shultz and I organized a much
larger "Ultimate UFO Seminar" at the same place. However, this time we
anticipated a much larger crowd so we decided to have it outside during

the daytime, right next to the Little A-le-Inn.  I believe it was in
March.  By this time, Gary Schultz became acquainted with Bob Lazar and

Bob Lazar agreed to come to speak.
We requested Joe Travis of the Little A-le-Inn to set up 200 chairs
outside. Joe said he will take care of it.


When both Gary and I arrived at the Little A-le-Inn the day of the
Seminar, we were totally astonished to see a huge military tent right
next to the Inn. What ws strange is that we didn't expected such a
large military tent there. When we asked Joe Travis how he got that
tent, he simply said that he borrowed the tent from the base (i.e.,
Area 51).
I wasn't aware then that Joe Travis had a working relationship with
Area 51!! (the fact of which he really didn't talk too much).
The base definitely knew that we would be having a large gathering in
Rachel.


In any case, there were almost 200 people (from all over the U.S. and
some from Canada) at the seminar.  Among the audience was Glenn
Campbell, a computer specialist who just moved to Nevada from the East
Coast.  Glenn Campbell, later on, became an Area 51 activist who, later

on, was instrumental in publicizing the existence of Area 51 base to a
much wider segment of society.


When Bob Lazar arrived at the seminar (he came with a couple of
ladies), we were surprised to see his Corvette which had a license
plate "MJ-12". It was probably a mockery of the alleged existence of
MJ-12.
That memorable event was covered by a Los Angeles Times reporter.
That was to be Bob Lazar's last public appearance.
