Bob Lazar sat down for the longest and most scientifically rigorous interview he’s done since blowing the whistle on covert Navy UFO reverse engineering programs at Nevada Test Site’s S4 in 1989. He goes deep on UFO science, how the crafts actually fly, talks gravity-altering propulsion with NASA lead electrostatics scientist Charles Buhler, analyzes newly-leaked footage of a UFO flying at Area51 and unpacks his full experience working on the Sports Model UFO: its test flight, how it was found during an archeological dig on the ocean floor, its Element 115-fueled reactor and gravity-altering emitters. He also describes seeing 9 other UFOs in the Hangars at S4, the directed energy and time-manipulation programs he was briefed on and being recruited to the program by Manhattan Project pioneer, Edward Teller. Finally, Lazar says that he now knows how to recreate the exotic, gravity-altering force employed by the UFO he worked in the 80’s but this time in his own personal lab with his own equipment ----------------------- Support Our Other Projects Below!

Having Bob on Joe Rogan (half entertainment half curiousity), A52 (deeper admiration dive and overall story idea) and Jesse ( the complete package) is like the best thing that came out this month + the S4 film - feels like Xmas

The way Bob Lazar describes Barry as this sincere, cheerful, and enthusiastic guy reminds me of Walter White's lab partner Gail Betteker from Breaking Bad.

Bro the segment where you do your thing and tie all the research together with Bismuth had to be the ONLY publicly available "presentation" on the subject matter in history. Truly invaluable video. Im sure all the folks past and present that got to work on this stuff share the sentiment of gratitude 🙏

Bob's best interview in decades. Jesse has a gift to make people coming on his podcast super comfortable and help them open up their mind.
