THE MORPHING STORY OF ALIEN ISOTOPE "115" Of all the rote things Bob Lazar fans repeat about his claims, among the most wildly erroneous is the assertion that Lazar has "always told the same story." Most who have really studied early Lazar materials (as opposed to the greatly cleaned up narratives peddled by such storytellers as @g_knapp and @JeremyCorbell) find the "same story" assertion to be truly laughable. Offhand, I cannot think of a significant element of Bob Lazar's UFO-related tales, or his claims about his own background, on which Lazar has NOT made contradictory statements. It is not just that Lazar has lied promiscuously--he has also lied lazily, trusting that his promoters will smooth things over, as indeed they have, from the beginning, and decade after decade. The examples are innumerable--Lazar's educational and scientific credentials, his criminal history, the nature of his role at the Los Alamos laboratory, et cetera, et cetera. Contemporary promoters such as @joerogan have repeatedly embraced and amplified cleaned-up or disproven Lazar claims without apparent awareness of, or evident concern, about their history. Just for example, let's take Lazar's claims about a purported alien isotope that he said defeats gravity and churns out power like the sun. Lazar claims to have figured out the secrets of this material while working as a physicist for a super-secret government program that supposedly possessed nine intact alien craft, at least one of which, he said, was being flown (in 1989!). He claimed also to possess/control a quantity of this alien material. This claim has been featured for decades in Lazar-promoting narratives such as Jeremy Corbell's 2018 film "Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers." See also the clip from a 2014 George Knapp speech below. Lazar claimed this miraculous substance is a stable isotope of "Element 115," the element with 115 protons, now officially known as moscovium (symbol: Mc). No such stable isotope is known to science; the five lab-created isotopes of moscovium all have half-lives that are fractions of a second. But the concept of a "stable isotope of Element 115" postulates that some certain number of neutrons would constitute an isotope that would endure indefinitely and would also, in Lazar’s tale, somehow manifest both gravity-defeating and sun-like power-producing properties. For those who know Lazar’s history only through the streamlined narratives promoted by Knapp, Corbell, and other storytellers, it may come as a surprise that Lazar has contradicted himself about both the number of protons and the number of neutrons in the purported super-powered alien substance. Yet those are the very two variables that define, respectively, an element, and an isotope of an element. In a Sept. 22, 1990 interview with author Michael Lindemann, Lazar said, "I was the one who identified 115. That was my only contribution to the project. And I don't stand on the fact that it's 115, but if it's not, it's 114. It's right in there." So here we see Lazar, early on, claiming to have identified ‘Element 115’ as the substance that made the alien craft work--except he was not even sure that the element in question had 115 protons! It might have 114! "It's right in there"! Yet the number of protons is, of course, what defines an element in the first place. This 1990 statement by itself is sufficient to make the entire "Element 115" tale laughable. But that's not all. A given element can have very different properties depending on the number of neutrons. An isotope is defined precisely by the number of neutrons. Yet Lazar has also said contradictory things about the number of neutrons in the alien isotope. "Atomic mass" can mean several things depending on context, but when shown as a whole number (no decimal) for a specific isotope, it is understood to mean "mass number"-- that is, the sum of the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Around 1989, Lazar told his pal Joe Vaninetti that the mass of the alien substance was 271; if the super-isotope had 115 protons, that would mean it had 156 neutrons. Yet many later years on his United Nuclear website, Lazar sold mugs and T-shirts blazoned with a diagram for what he then called "Lazarium" (his modest nomenclature for "Element 115"), but showing the "atomic mass" of the alien isotope as 299--so that would be 184 neutrons. 156? 184? Bob Lazar smuggled in 28 additonal neutrons to his original alien isotope. Why might he have done that? Perhaps because, in between those two incompatible claims, element 115 was actually synthesized for the first time, in Russia, in 2003. To date, five isotopes have been synthesized, with neutron numbers ranging from 171 to 175, and within that observed series the half-life INCREASED along with mass number. Especially in light of that real-world data, Lazar’s 1989 neutron number of 156 seemed especially implausible. His subsequent adoption of a much higher number, 184, moved his story into the neutron-rich region that nuclear theory associates with increased stability in superheavy nuclei. We should not be surprised that a scientist-impersonating serial scam artist churns out contradictory nonsense--but please, don't tell us that he has been consistent in his fabrications. Protons and neutrons aside, consider this: Bob Lazar has long claimed to have personal possession or control of a quantity of this super-powered alien substance--but in over 30 years, he has never submitted samples to independent labs. Think of that--the man has claimed to possess a gravity-defeating isotope that cannot have been made by the hand of man. This claim, if true, would constitute undeniable physical proof of alien visitation and alien technology! Why are so many expending so much energy into searching out and arguing about debatable observations and fuzzy videos, IF there is physical proof in hand? Why don't Lazar and his promoters not schedule a televised press conference next week and, in full view of the world audience, turn over slivers of the alien isotope to three independent labs, at least one foreign (in France, maybe)? If the story were true, "disclosure" would soon follow, with vindication, awards and honors for all involved, and so forth. Yes, I am aware of the assertion that somehow Lazar's control of the alien isotope has been a guarantee of his personal safety from government goons (for over 30 years!), but that is manifestly utter nonsense. If such a substance existed, any danger would attach to its continued possession, and would be obviated by its public revelation under TV lights and subsequent proof by independent analyses. At that point, the genie would be out of the bottle, the "whistleblower" vindicated and safe, with accolades and awards flowing in from across the globe. The purported alien-tech "gatekeepers" would be jumping off bridges. But that press conference and those lab analyses will never happen, because the Lazar-Knapp-Corbell "Element 115" sub-story is a gullibility test, which so many continue to flunk. Looking at you, @joerogan. But if you disagree, then it is not too late to take up the cry: Disclosure now! Free the alien isotope!
