Description

Watch the Luigi Vendittelli podcast NOW by joining The Why Files Patreon!: https://www.patreon.com/thewhyfiles Luigi Vendittelli was 9 years old when his grandfather came inside shaking, saying he'd just seen a flying saucer over Montreal. Nobody believed him. That moment turned Luigi into Canada's foremost UFO investigator — and eventually led him to cold-call Bob Lazar, spend five years rebuilding S4 from scratch in 3D, and uncover a 1941 government map that shows exactly where the hangar doors are. And then his bank tried to shut him down. This is one you're going to want to watch twice.

Luigi looks younger than early 50s. Good for him and Bob Lazar.

I am 72 years old. I spent 20 years in the United States Air Force. I was physically around aircraft every day. I loaded munitions on fighters until my knees became too damaged. The remaining 17 years were involved in Airfield Operations (Airfield Management). I have touched operable SR 71 and U2 aircraft. I have spent hours talking to SR 71 pilots and a couple hours to a U2 pilot. The U.S. has some flying machines no one knows about unless you work around them. I said all that to say this. I am NOT surprised by unusual aircraft. After my retirement, one night at home in Southeast Missouri I was outside with our little dog. I looked up and saw a dark triangular craft with lights around the edges. It was quite large and was maybe 1000 feet above the ground. THERE WAS NO NOISE. Plus the stars were out and as it went overhead the stars blotted out then reappeared as it passed. It was one single craft and appeared in no hurry to disappear. The lights were not flashing like in conventional aircraft nor they colored. They were whitish blue like some led lights. Eventually after about a minute it had passed where I could no longer see it. This would have been somewhere around 2008-2010.

My parents saw a diamond shape object like that in the mid 80's. They were on the road coming home, it shut the car off and my Dad got out to look. No sound and hovered the road and took off. My Mom is a big non believer but my daughter saw the same thing in '20 in the same area. My Mom overheard the conversation and came into the room, she looked like she saw a ghost. It was the same description of what her and my Dad saw.

Amy Eskridge, one of the 12 murdered scientists, said that she realized that what Bob Lazar said about anti-gravity propulsion makes sense if it's reversed, and ever since making a note on that, she started getting followed, spied on and harassed. The way I see it, Bob Lazar is a red herring, he may know some things, but he's not allowed to tell the truth. Think about it. If Bob Lazar really knew something that exposes the aliens, wouldn't he get targeted and disposed like the other 12 people by now?

What gets me about the 'Sport Model' as described by Bob and as depicted in the S4 film, is that it has no operating controls. Sure, it has gravity amplifiers that are directional and it can go into different modes but where are the controls that allow an occupant to do this? All they ever show is a reactor sitting in the middle and three seats. Never a single switch, lever, dial, joystick, or button. Now the first thing you might conclude is that the occupants controlled the craft with some kind of mental telepathy. But then you have Bob claiming they would test fly it. So how?
